Agree. I watch the game again and McGee changed a ton of shots.
And those dunks. Hey, you can say .. well Wall got it up there for him but I can do that. What I cant do it dunk in traffic or alley opp. He even did some backward.
Wall played really smart during the surge but McGee gets the nod for POTG.

I know, right? Especially when they showed it on the replay, it looked like a fricking Nike commercial with the ball slowly bouncing, a Detroit player reaching out slowly to gather it up, when suddenly Ves bursts in like a crashing airliner at ten times the speed, scooping up the ball and saving the possession. I swear it looked like the Rondo commercial.
Dude may suck in terms of skills but you just have to love him. Seemed like he was on the court forever yesterday and he seemed to do a lot of good things.

If Wall played like he did during that stretch in the 3rd and 4th qtr we would be an amazing team.

I disagree, but our record would be slightly better. We still don't have enough. Good defensive teams like the Heat, Bulls, 6ers, ect would contain Wall and get out on the shooters, keeping his assist numbers down.

He makes me cry sometimes but for a different reason.

I thought Wall had an excellent 1/3 of a game and luckily it came at the right time. Booker needs a little more love for doing a great job against the larger Monroe whom Javale didn't handle very well.

I would never ever post another Wall trade if he played like that routinely. That is playing like a point guard.

Wall played like he generally plays. He simply had better passing opportunities than usual - due to teammates executing and running with him - and the level of the opponent.

I vote for Jordan Crawford . . . 2 for 12 in a great effort to keep the tank going; but Detroit's big 3 guard trio of Knight, Stuckey, and Gordon were just too tankalicious for him.

Yeah I was exaggerating, I believe we need a lot more to become a good team, but we could be in the playoffs with this team if Wall played like that.

Didn't see 1st half. Based on 2nd half, Wall (easily), Vesely, McGee. I may have a lingering prejudice against McGee docking him a few points, but he was messing up scoring opportunities even if he didn't slow Monroe down much. Booker looked ok too.
