Seems likey missed an assist on the Rashard Lewis jumper. That should have been 16.

Common theme for the game tonight is the quality of shots the team has taken collectively. I can't come up with more than handful of shots I thought were forced. Just a great team ball this game.

McGee also deserves some credit for not posting any WTFs tonight.

Crawford should be fined $10,000 every time he takes a jumper with more than 15 seconds on the shot clock.

Excepting Jordan Crawford.

This has been a fun second half to watch. Love the energy Vesely and Wall have played with.

He's been all over the place. I'm telling you, if he can get stronger and maybe add a 10-15 foot jumper to his game (like Booker has), he's going to be a very important player going forward. More importantly though, it seems like the chemistry between him and Wall is getter better and better.

His biggest problem I see right now is that every time he tries to drive, he gets pushed off balance. It looks a lot like McGee looked his first year. He doesn't stay balanced when he is dribbling. He is leaning to much and then players bump him and he looses all control of what he is doing so all he has left is a bail out pass while off balance.

I sure hope he can fix this and develop some offense because if he doesn't, he will only be a bench player and a self check and not worth a 6th pick.

Wall was 3-10, but I love the way he's been playing lately.

It was a good lesson for him. 15 assists can win a game even if you are only 3-10

But man this team has a lot of players it needs to move.

Singleton is looking like much less then most would have wanted from him.
Mack is ok but not enough.
Crawford has his head up his rss

I cant wait to see if they can add some upgrades that fit.

But it was fun to watch the Wall / McGee connection tonight.

i don't think you can make a fair assessment on mack with the amount of minutes he plays. it would be damn near impossible for anyone to get into a rhythm.

if anything i've been impressed with the way he plays.

A decisive win on the road? Go figure. Just goes to show the Wizards aren't the only team that can struggle to score.

Crawford might have the worst shot selection i have ever seen.

Nice to see McGee get back in gear the last two games.

+1

Who cares about his FG% or his turnovers when Wall gets 15 assists and the Wizards win?

Mo Evans mentioned running pick and roll the other day. I didn't see this game but just heard Wall say that is what he did. Instead of getting down about the turnovers, he stayed with it and just kept running PnR.

I think Vesely really does make a difference on this team.

I believe Wall will get it after all if he keeps this up. Yes, he's a scorer. However, John Wall is going to be much more effective at PG getting more players involved. I will take this type game and never criticize Wall's effort.

All I want now is for Wall to start to see what being under control can do for him. Teams will have to worry about him passing or trying to score.
