And less Garrett Temple. Maybe less Otto if he doesn't start producing more consistently.

Assuming "absolute" health: The guard rotation should be Wall-Beal-Anderson-Oubre-Sessions in some order. Temple only sees the floor in case everyone is down. And I'd still cut Neal tomorrow.

I think Otto gets it going in the 2nd half. He isn't the type to take nights off...I think he'll cut more off the ball.

Is this Oubres breakout game?? Probably not but its nice to see him be productive.

How the **** do you call for a two-for-one with a 2 second play clock difference? Are you **** kidding me?

Only the Wizards.

I didn't mind it in theory, but he took too long to get the shot off.

It would have been fine to try that had they decided to take a TO to run a set play and advance the ball. Not the end of the world, competitive juices got the best of em I suppose.

The Wizards inbounded the ball to Wall w/ ~32 secs left. The Knicks didn't corral the rebound until ~26 secs left.

Oubre: 8 points in 6 minutes.

Leonard woke up.

Nice offensive set from Porter to Gortat to Wall.

Leonard is just too good for Otto. Oubre time.

We aren't even playing that bad. They are just too good, even without Duncan.

Man, the Spurs' real MVP is the shot doctor who worked with Kawhi Leonard. That guy's gone from non-factor to dead eye.

Meanwhile, Hump is good for one of those "knock the ball out of my teammate's hands in my zeal to get a board" turnovers a month.

Offense is garbage this quarter. No competent ball movement. Prolly not surprising since Hump and Neal are on the floor at the same time.

Humphries defense pisses me off.

Gary Neal can't grab a **** rebound. Cut that garbage piece of **** tomorrow.

Dudley has been horrible tonight.

Yah if Jared isn't going to take 3 pt shots....how is going to be effective in his matchup?

queridiculo · Post #77 » by **queridiculo** » Thu Dec 17, 2015 3:15 am

Neal is garbage.

He only does one thing relatively well... and he isn't even doing that tonight. Why people think he is worth a damn escapes reason. The fact that Randy plays him when we WERE relatively healthy also speaks to his sustained madness. :nonono:

Dudley (and Humphries) are like Beal, in that they don't take contested threes (as stated in that great Reddit article FAH posted a few weeks ago):

https://www.reddit.com/r/washingtonwizards/comments/3wcov1/a_panda_that_wont_screw_to_save_its_species/

Beal leads the Washington Wizards in three-point attempts and makes per game but of the Wizards who're averaging at least one three-point attempt per game, only Jared Dudley and Kris Humphries have a smaller percentage contested than Beal. John Wall has attempted 0.7 contested three-pointers per game -- more than twice as many as Beal.

It's easy for defenders to run our "stretch 4s" off the line -- which means they're not really stretching anything.

Lol, Randy hasn't thrown in the towel yet
