Anyone notice how different and how much of a beast Wall is on the break now? He use to go 100mph non stop and miss a million layups. Now he's still faster then everyone else but he knows when to burst or slow it down and now he hardly ever misses the layups.

This kid is learning on the fly so well right now. Just him finishing those shots are making his shooting percetanges go way up, not to mention he's getting more confident in that J.

Its not just the layups either. He's learning how to change speed period. Much more under control overall while still being mad fast. If he plays like that then he's like all the best PG's in the league rolled into one. Not to mention his Defensive upside is higher than all of them. They better hope he doesnt get a more consistent J

However, it was not Seraphin's fault or he was not equal blame as some you say. People look Seraphin's hand up high but it only got there because of Camby.

KS was just blocking Camby out in a normal wayl. Camby brought his hands up under his which made KS's hands come up that high. They wouldve never been there if not for that. Then Camby pushes him to the ground. I think a 2 is excessive although it may be what the rule is intended for. However, it is far more Camby's fault

I agree. Camby shouldn't have been thrown out for that.


I can dig that.

Finally, the ball gets inside to Booker.

All the Wizards have to do is keep feeding the post.

I don't know.

The only way Seraphin every comes in a game is if McGee goes to the bench.

This game, Aldridge is having his way and I cannot see why Seraphin cannot come in for Booker.

Wall is getting a better feel for that change of pace move. By next year, that may be just plain devastating.

This is one of those games where we need to ride Wall. He either plays the whole 2nd half or you sit him for a very short time. Not too long

Witt should just put him in for Mcgee the rest of the way, at least Ksera can somewhat bang with Kurt Thomas. I'm starting to sour on Javale again, even though he's shot the ball well. That turn around air ball before was a ridiculous shot.

McGee has been defending Aldridge for the most part. Seraphin is too slow to play PF right now.

I'd prefer Seraphin and Booker together, personally.

That WTF came after two nicely executed shots.

I don't like either or coaching with Witt. It's not (yet) time to sit McGee, but Kevin should be in this game already.

In his short time in the NBA, I can't name another player with as many WTF's as JaVale.

That's impressive.

Yes, that is almost always a better combination.

However, I am certain McGee played with Seraphin a stretch last season and the combination was very successful. All I'm saying is you can't take McGee out because he's dunking and dominating right now.

Still, Seraphin is feeling it, too.

One thing I really hate about this team is that guys think they have to shoot on every play that is ran for them. If we run a curl for NY or JC its going up even though they may be dead covered. Even Singleton shoots it every time off the curl and its not even really a play. If McGee gets the ball in the post he is shooting it no matter what.

Its so annoying. The other great teams in the league dont do that. There SG's take more dribbles and pass if they arent open off the curl. Why cant guys like NY & JC learn that. You have to be more complete and have a better IQ
