So this is what having a star player feels like. I haven't felt this good since watching Gilbert play.

And Booker really got away with a blatant offensive foul sending Walker to the floor.

That one was not is fault.

Neither was the offensive foul (which was a turnover).

In my book, he has 3 turnovers and has played a brilliant game.

Nothing wrong with having an average big coming off the bench, being paid just $2M a year. Booker is limited, but he plays his role pretty well.

Blatant flop imo.

So obvious, although Walker acted a bit.

Some of you are a little over obsessed with Wall's TO's, none of them on his part have been all that bad.

That was a flop. I even heard someone on court say it...maybe a ref

He did push out a little bit with his arm, but Walker flopped too. Booker didn't push him THAT hard.

It feels so good to have Nene in at the end of a close game - instead of Seraphin.

Booker is a good young backup big. He's just been injured. He's a quality role player.

I'm not obsessed. I just dislike seeing them on the box score. :lol:

Walker's about 170 lbs. Of course he's going to go down when Booker blatantly shoved him while Walker was running to keep in front of Wall.

The Wizards just got through scoring 127 against Phoenix. Booker's dunk has them at 111 with 3:14 to go. They are on 120 pace again.

Remember the start of the season when the Wizards were flirting with a record low 88 or so points a game?

Wall's progress and Nene playing through, with guys like Temple, Booker, Webster, even now Seraphin are getting it dome.

why would Seraphin be in at crunch time?

I actually like Booker a lot, I was just saying he's been playing average during this particular game.

GhostsOfGil · Post #157 » by **GhostsOfGil** » Tue Mar 19, 2013 1:22 am

Boston is letting it slip away. 6 point lead..

Spence · Post #158 » by **Spence** » Tue Mar 19, 2013 1:23 am

I like Booker as a cheap, hard-working role player off the bench. He's like an energy drink for the team.

Kemba Walker definitely flopped. I think it is often smarter not to flop in those situations and just react naturally. When a ref sees an obvious flop they don't call the foul, even if a foul did occur. In other words, don't try to help the refs too much. If you do, they'll likely punish you for it.

Wall was 13-14 from the line a few days ago, 7-8 tonight.

Get Beal in the game please.
