I love Seraphin and would love to see what he could do with a consistent starting role but we wont see that, atleast not for now. He was a good 3rd in this game. Roger saved us and we wouldve lost if he didnt come in but he was 2nd. Wall was 1st. He was there from the start and set the tone

I don't know about you guys but I felt as bereft of talent we are, I felt like it was a different team out there tonight. Not seeing the ridiculousness that is Mcgee and not seeing the black hole gunner that is Young, I had a much better sense of enjoyment as a fan. And isn't that what it's all about? Winning and Fan Enjoyment?

What do I know?

I vote for Wall.

Easy call for Wall. Mason and Seraphin had nice games though. Seraphin with 12/9 making hooks with his right and left hand.

I vote for Wall.

I agree with this for the most part. We may have taken a hit in talent, but at least we are now a talent limited team who can at least play up to its potential. That's better than being loaded with physical talent but constantly losing due to stupidity.

I did have some reservations while watch the game though. Our defensive rebounding was definitely a problem down the stretch. We are going to miss McGee on the defensive glass. The other problem was that we are going to miss having the option of playing Young at SF. It allowed us to surround Wall with a few good shooters. Now, the only way to do it is to play Wall alongside Crawford and Mason, but then we have a 6-3 guy guarding the opposing SF. New Orleans wasn't able to capitalize, but lots of other teams will.

Speaking of.. is there a reason why Evans is getting such limited playing time?

Wall was amazing tonight. Looked motivated as hell to play after getting rid of two knuckleheads.

I'm LSBF and I approve of this comment. Has anyone journeyed to the Nuggets site to share this advanced metric with them?

Nate, doesn't Nene rebound defensively as well as Javale? And hopefully by not being able to run Young out there at SF (which when he's on, helps us win a few games), it allows our tank still to be strong.

wall was the nightly notable on nba.com i believe for the first time since his home debut in his rookie season when he dropped 29 and 13 vs the sixers.

I voted for Mason b/c I can't remember the last time I've seen a Wizard get that hot from three point land. I'm I feel like UVA needs a little love today after that thrashing.
