Just tuned in and caught a Detroit broadcast highlight reel of John Wall. Wall must have 7 assists for dunks already. I didn't see all the dumb turnovers mentioned early in this thread, but man, his assists tonight are things of beauty.

Vesely's really starting to grow on me. Love the hustle.

Not going to be able to let McGee go if him and Wall get this connection going.

Isnt this what we were dreaming of when the season started ?

He even feed Ves a couple times.

Crawford with the off balance three point attempt with 21 seconds still on the shot clock. I'd pull him immediately after that. There is simply no justification for that whatsoever. Bring in Roger Mason if you have to, but get Crawford out of the game.

Time to get Mack in for Wall. We're starting a road trip. Get him a rest. If they come back to 10, bring him back in.

Seriously. That is unacceptable at any level. Wouldn't surprise me if the coaches didn't get on him at all for it.

He's the quintessential "me" player. Sits too long he comes out to try to get his, and to his credit it works sometimes.

The tank was strong with this one from Detroits perspective. Monroe hasn't played a minute in the 4th, right?

Wall has been unselfish all night and when they needed to expand the lead, he took over. Of course, Detroit is horrible and has nobody to match up with Vale. But you have to take advantage of your strengths.

I would call a time out immediate after that and as he walked off I would pull him aside and have him explain exactly what he was thinking.

Wow, it could go DET, Charlotte and Washington in the tankings. Detroit has no-front-court...turrible.

Way to reward Vesely on the break, Wall. Outstanding!

Wall dialed his brain into the game and that was all it took.

Hopefully this is a good lesson for him that he remembers

I was wrong about Shard. It's contagious! That's Wall's unselfish play becasue he trusts his teammates.

Wall is the player of the game. He was doing great job finding his teammates for open shots and just killed the Pistons on the pick and roll.

Wall is just fabulous tonight! Another charge drawn. Not to mention the 15 assists.

All Wizards players are jacking it up the moment they receive a pass from Wall. They want him to get 20 assists.

Return to Washington Wizards
