If you add up blocks, steals, and charges drawn, the top 10 is a who's who of centers in the NBA.... and John Wall.

The only other PG near him is Chris Paul.

Agreed, let Crawford rest his ankle or whatever and let Mo get some pt. Why not?

The Bobcats... what a disgrace.

Does Wall usually talk at a 1000 words per minute during interviews?

I see people post about his injury history a lot so I'm trying to clean up that warped perception.

The previous three years before this one, he missed 12 game out of 246. The year before last year, he played all 82 of 82 games.

Yes, he has been dinged this year. Missed 15 games before getting here, but I would guess all but may a game or two he missed here, were by tank design more then anything.

Artest meant to do what he did -- Thomas didn't and looked like he felt terrible about it just milliseconds after it happened.

Intent isn't the deciding factor. How dangerous the move was is. Stupidity doesn't seem to factor into the decision. It was a stupid move by him and it was dangerous so he got tossed.

F1 is unnecessary. F2 is unnecessary and excessive. It looked unnecessary. It didn't look excessive.

And Singleton looked like he acted a bit as well.

+1

Yep, Singleton sold it well, miller.

He's got "We just gotta keep playing basketball" down to four syllables.

This.

The Bobcats had some relatively close games recently. This game the Wizards are putting on a clinic, outclassing Charlotte in every way.

9 assists already wow. he could easily break his career high tonight but he will prob sit the entire 4th unfortunately.

No reason to sit him the entire 4th. He is young. The season end is near. Get him minutes with a lead. That is good experience. And very healing to a long season on losses.

I say if they have a good lead, he sits maybe around the 2-3 minute mark.

Hey ST21! You wanted Wall to dominate a lesser player, right?

Happy birthday, bro. Here's hoping you get more of these in the future.

Talks like he runs. He doesn't take a breath or have any sort of voice inflection when he speaks, either.

When I figure out what he's said, it makes sense. He is tough for me to decode.

Wall might need subtitles, but they would probably be typos and fragments because who can translate that fast?

John Wall is equal with Brandon Rush as the top shot blocking guard in the NBA.

It's not that Ernie didn't do a decent job of cleaning up his mess, but c'mon.

I understand and I'm not disagreeing with you. The sarcastic way you posted at me irked me, thats all.
