It would be nice to have DJ on our team backing up Wall

Wittman shortening the rotation by keeping two of Booker/Nene/Gortat in the game at all times. Looks good for now, but Nene is on pace for 34 minues and if that keeps up he's going to start complaining.

God Wall sucks. It's like he's getting worse with each game too.

Randy needs to permanently bench him until he gets his head out of his ass

Who is going to play if Wall is on the bench?

Stacey King doesn't think that's clear path? Uhh that play is the very purpose of the clear path rule

Wizards can't play a complete game. WTF is with those free throws.

I like Wall when he drives aggressively with the intent of scoring, not kicking it out. That should be his mentality every time down.

Whew, that's a tenuous 13 pt halftime lead if I've ever seen one. That score might lead you to believe, falsely, that the Wizards are in complete control of the game.

Having Nene out there with Wall is like having the 2nd ball handler they need. And when you add Webster, you have the sharp shooter leader they need. Beal can shoot, but he isn't mature mentally like Webster.

Easy to forget what their starting 6 looks like since we hadn't seen it in so long. This would be more like our playoff team.

Booker in this role against a team like Chicago works well. I don't think this would work against a bigger front court though. Time to get Kevin some minutes in the 2nd half rotation. I wouldn't go back to Booker in the 3rd. I would go Kevin.

Actually probably a smart move by Randy to go back to this to reset the standard of play and helping Wall, Beal and Gortat by giving them Nene help.

Stacey King is BY FAR the biggest commentator homer in the NBA. The dude is awful. You're better off listening to nails on a chalkboard.

I think that is the first time those words have ever been written. This needs to go in the HOF thread.

If by torch you mean he is going to total suck like he does, then yeah

For a player as good a Trevor A is at what he does well, its amazing how bad at driving he is.

Lol, I knew we were going to let the 13 point lead disappear. I just didn't think it would take the Bulls only 3 minutes to do it.
