Player of the Game (Wiz vs Rockets, 11/10/10)

Meh, I'm not sure if there's all that much correlation between additional minutes and injury.

Anyhoo, we would certainly have lost the game if Wall only played 36 minutes. Wall was +12 in 42 minutes of action. So effectively, he was +10 on a per 48 basis when on the court. The team was -5 in the 6 minutes he was out. That means they were -40 on a per 48 basis with him off the court.

If the goal is to cut his minutes back a bit, Flip needs to make sure Wall gets his rest in garbage time of blowout games.

Here's the astounding thing: The numbers Wall put up tonight (points, assists, rebounds, steals) have only been met or exceeded four times in the history of the NBA. If you add in his block, it's only been met/exceeded exactly ONE time.

I was actually on my way to check something similar when I read your post. If you also add in that he only had 1 Turnover then this has never been done before, ever. Because Chris Paul who did beat him in the other categories had 4 TO's that night.
Stats are fun to play around with

But really, wow at the 13 to 1 Assist to TO ratio. This guy is going to be special

John Wall!

The d*ck move by Dray makes the gif even better

JWall gets my vote for obvious reason. Kudos to Andray and Al "the wildest player in the league" Thornton. I wish that Flip could get Cartier Martin some regular minutes - I think he's done a very decent job on both sides of the floor. Not so much fur Kirk, who's was absolutely killing us during a two minute stretch in the fourth quarter. He seems like a good dude and good locker room mentor for Wall but I start to understand why the Bulls' fans got frustrated with him.
