Again, Wall the only star in the league who routinely doesnt even try to be a star. The only guy in the league. Irving has sucked this year but he's pretty much been trying to be Kyrie in every single game. I would take that from Wall all day. Id rather him just go all out and try to be a dominant Superstar and fail miserably then to just trying being a glorified role player. He had a 12-1 ast-to ratio and still was just a regular player for us. Fans act iike that is ok but I told you it was going to come back to haunt us.
People say he should turn down shots because he's not hitting but thats not true. The reason why he's not hitting is because he is turning down shots. He's not playing with any aggression and when he shoots its almost out of defense. Its like he feels he has to take that shot but he's not really into it like a star is. He's just hoping it goees in. Again, he's not a good enough pure shooter to just walk around the couirt and then shoot up a J. He's by far at his best and we are by far at our best when he's in attacking Westbrook mode.
Its not all about scoring but he does have to be aggressive. Every game he's on pace right now to finish with like 10-14pts. Its not good enough. You have to be more agggressive then that. Kyrie Irving on D? Calderon on D? Lets be real. He has to attack that. You dont have to always score but be aggressive and attack. He can pass of that too.
This is why he came off the bench on that US team and this is why he made comments like he's just trying to get his teammates going because he's not a natural scorer like the other PG's that were there. I knew then that he was being submissive again like he always is. How can he say that whne he was just dropping 25-45pts routinely on those same guys just a lil earlier? He just wont do it unless he's pushed. He's also the only star that gets down so easy. If he makes a bad play or misses 2 in a row then he's in the tank. Passing up everything and playing scared. Kyrie can miss 20 shots and is still confident.
Its upsetting because then you have a guy like Nene making those statments and Witt saying we need to pass more so I already knew that its going to make Wall be even less aggressive. Instead they should tell him that its his team, they want him to put non stop pressure on the D, and they will go as he goes. Thats the truth anyways. He plays just like he's a regular guy or he's not the best player on the team. Its so annoying. Then you got guys like Kyrie going off on you who was also the #1 pick and will also get the max. Where is your pride for Gods sake. Atleast try to be a difference maker
