Screw you Crawford. What terrible shot selection. Every time he makes that shot, it reinforces it in his head that he should be taking those piss poor shot attempts. :nonono:

Good to see Nene with a little more spring in his step than he had against the Pacers. Hopefully he did not tweak anything on his last shot attempt that ended up a jump ball.

John Wall needs to get in the game- he's been a non factor so far.

Crawford sick with it tonight.

Sick move by Kevin. Great stuff.

While not having a Nene on the team was a problem, not having McGee does leave some holes also. He made for a easy alley op target for Wall and he did start to develop as an offensive threat in the post. They will miss his offense on a team that doesn't have a lot of offense.

Here comes Mason into the line up.

They really need a SF that can score. Lets see if Edwin can settle in. There are defiantly shots to be had from that slot.

Such silly analysis. Teams have simply been adjusting to Wall and given him different looks. They're trapping him and are forcing him to give up the ball. Would you rather he forces things on offense?

I'd agree if Wall didn't look completely clueless most of the time playing off the ball. He picks a spot and just stands there.

Needs to pick up his play now that we're focusing on a real half court offense.

Y are people so defensive about any criticisms regarding Wall? He looks uninterested. I just saw one of the Wizards score and literally everyone on the bench applauded except Wall. I guess its a rule now that people cant criticize wall when hes playing poorly.

i just don't understand why wall doesn't play more aggressive against these sub par pg's. 0 points and 0 assists the entire first quarter? really? wall should be killing teague.

some nights he just doesn't care.

Vesely suddenly seems so worth it.

:lol:

hands11 · Post #32 » by **hands11** » Sat Mar 24, 2012 11:49 pm

Now

Mack, Mason, Edwin, Ves, Nene

Edwin hit a couple then missed a couple.

I was going to say Ves isnt doing much but he just had a break away dunk and then took a charge.

Edwin getting hot would really change the offense and spread the floor. He is 2-4 in 6 minute so it doesnt look like he is afraid to shoot.

You know what Wall needs? An aggressive back-up like John Lucas III or Isiah Thomas that can challenge him for his job. Wall isn't losing any sleep with Mack out-there.

queridiculo · Post #34 » by **queridiculo** » Sat Mar 24, 2012 11:55 pm

So basically your criticism is that Wall is uninterested and doesn't care.

Excuse me if I find that notion absurd.

Nene is looking very good today. Singleton has arrived.

Who's comment (s) are you addressing?

Chocolate City Jordanaire · Post #37 » by **Chocolate City Jordanaire** » Sun Mar 25, 2012 12:03 am

Is Chuck Crawford improved?

He is not playing like fool's gold today.

dangermouse · Post #38 » by **dangermouse** » Sun Mar 25, 2012 12:03 am

I love Singleton. He can play, he'll be much better next year i would surmise, a lot of his struggles are just rookie mistakes and nerves it seems.

Ed Wood · Post #39 » by **Ed Wood** » Sun Mar 25, 2012 12:05 am

His shot selection is still a little unorthodox but he might be settling into an uninspiring but not unacceptable range insofar as efficiency is concerned, which coupled with his decent passing and not awful rebounding would be progress.

And Nene sounds very Brazilian and absolutely adorable.

+1. The worst thing about it is that we had a chance to draft Isaiah Thomas last year.
