GT #16: Wizards @ Pacers 8 PM CSN

Watching John repeatedly refuse to make an effort to shoot in end of quarter situations is infuriating

I agree but he isnt the only one. Sadly 90% of the league does it now. Or they do the fake, shoot it one second after the clock expires heeve....lol

I miss the old days. Magic use to make those shots. Sure he missed a ton but if you make one, that could be the difference in a win. Guys just care about there percentages now. If I was Witt I wouldnt even give it to Wall if he's going to do that. I would sub him out just to put a bench guy in who just wants that oppurtunity. I bet Wall starts taking it then.......lol

Some were talking a few years ago about how they shouldnt count it against your percentage. Im of the mind that it should stay the same and guys should still shoot because if you make it known that your numbers are effected by it then everyone will keep that in mind. They will say at the end of your career that you shot 32% from 3 but you took a ton of half court or full court shots that others were scared to take

Absolutely, it pisses me off, too. If he doesn't want to do it let's try with someone else.

He was basically just giving up because he was frustrated after his moronic passes were picked of. If he wants to be a leader, this is the kind of game he needs to have a big second half.

[Jimmy Recard]

Only 1 FT attempt in that first half. We need to find a way to get in transition more.

[bjack18]

lol Vesely almost banked that in with his knee

[SizzlinSimms]

Geez. Wall.

[jeffsays]

These refs suck.

[queridiculo]

Can't beat the Pacers and the refs, clear charge on Hibbert.

[wizardry]

This a onesided officiated game

[Jimmy Recard]

Not getting many calls

He used to do it all the time.. I think he's been more mindful of his fg% lately

yeah, when he was like 2-45 on 3's then he didnt care but now he's boarderline solid and that could take him just under.....lol

[bjack18]

tuned in late with 9:00 left in the 1st and saw Ves in for Nene and figured he must have picked 2 quick fouls but then I saw him in street clothes on the bench...is he out due to constipation??...plantar fasciitis?

[queridiculo]

Great call there by Wall getting Gortat iso'd on Hibbert.

Sore achilles, or more than likely tendonitis.

Plantar faciitis is right around the corner.

Not surprisingly, getting killed by West as a result.

[dlts20]

everything is ugly & out of sync. They force there will on you. Need the full lineup to fight through that. We battle them though

[dlts20]

if Wall could hit anything it would atleast be a 6pt game. Thats 2 games in a row though where teams have made it miserable for Wall on the P&R. We have to switch something up. He's having to dribble way more than he was before these 2 games. Its because of those 3 straight 30pt games. I think the key is Wall has to get it out of his hand quicker and swing the ball. He'll get alot of secondary or 3rd ast. Maybe the Hawks wont play him like that though

[wizardry]

Wall needs to drive and kick if hes not going to take it to the hoop. His cold shots are brick city

[Illmatic21]

lol Wall is such a garbage jumpshooter.. switches his form/rhythm every game

[SizzlinSimms]

wtf temple lol

[mhd]

Maynor

Why are Gortat & Ariza still in? Concede the loss and get the starters some much needed rest.
