Game of the year! Wall has returned with a superstar impact. Jan's passing was amazing

Smith jumped over Wall's head and blocked him in the first half, so John broke his ankles :lol:

On that Ish leap, I was afraid Wall was going to jump at the inopportune time. Then, instead of ankle surgery, Ish would need a different kind of operation. :oops:

I hope I can find a torrent of this game tomorrow. I only caught the 4th quarter.

Seraphin is certainly much more effective with Wall. Wall allows him to be a finisher, which he handles just fine. Seraphin has issues if he is the focal point of the offense.

I guess Vesely has had enough of being ridiculed. Nice game for him. +29

I still think we should trade him. Hopefully he and Seraphin will play well enough to be traded in a package for Cousins.

You know what just occurred to me: out of our 3 wins, one was against the best team in the league while the other two were double digit wins against two teams above .500. 8-)

He actually had some good post moves tonight to compliment some of the easy buckets he got.

Can somebody just Kerrigan him?


It's no coincidence that they are playing so much better without "Big Balls" on the floor. The ball moves so much better, the team defends better and there's a lot less sulking.

Just got back from the game. And may the SOB who left an unidentified bag at the Gallery Place metro be tossed in jail.

Now, I actually don't follow the Wizards a whole lot ( I'm a transient. Sue me.), but is Ariza really not starting anymore? Crowd went pretty crazy tonight what with Vesley actually playing like he belongs in this league and the Wall anklebreaker, though sadly probably the loudest moment was when McRoberts missed the first free throw and everyone wanted a chicken sandwich.

It was fun, especially for the price.
But do you know what they call a fool, who's full of himself and jumps into the path of death because it's cool?

Nice win fellas. 30 more and we get an 8 seed. Crazier things have happened. This team has defended all year and if the O keeps coming on it's not impossible. Magic or not, clearly the best basketball played by DC in three years. Great job Zards!

Not to be a contrarian (who me?), but while John Wall is getting a ton of credit for the turnaround, statistically he's been the 2nd best PG on the team the last 2 games and played fewer minutes than AJP. Maybe the team's turnaround is because of AJP! Trade Wall Now!!!!

Remember all that stuff I posted about Wall?

I'm hoping they don't do anything while they're winning UNLESS they know Wall's knee is made of glass.

This is turning out to be great. The best thing that could happen is to start killing teams and have Wall play so well he gets re-upped sooner than later.

The best part is guys like Ariza, Price, Webster, Okafor, and even Templeton are all solid pros. The mix is all right now between young and old, and that is without Booker, Crawford and Singleton. Beal, Wall, Seraphin, and I would leave Vesely alone a year and see--they're the right guys. If Wall has truly energized the team and built confidence up--my only worry is his knee.

If this keeps up another 4-5 games, I'm sold.
