GT#46: OKC Thunder @ Washington Wizards 2/1 7:00PM

both Wall & Beal had great drives for sure fire layups but Ibaka blocked Wall and changed Beal's shot at the end. I hope they dont let that discourage them.

Also, the arena sounds pretty dead even when things are going well. Some of it is just our local station because games do sound later on other team's networks. Ive email Leonsis about that before but the arena also isnt fully rockin but it sounds like its starting to get going some

[dlts20]

looked like Wall was throwing it for the corner 3 while Web was cutting to the hoop

[nuposse04]

Very happy with the solid lead so far, we're going to need it when KD and company wake up. Looking for Beal to light it up against Lamb. Need to maintain this sort of effort.

[dlts20]

KS looks like a total different player. Seems so calm out there and like he knows he belongs and oyu can count on him

'We'll talk more about the new basketball when we come back'

Seriously how much can you talk about a damn basketball

[Jimmy Recard]

Wittman sits Wall for way too long every game

[nuposse04]

Wall's had a solid rest, time for him to come back in. Jackson has 2 fouls, wall ought to look to attack.

Wittman sits Wall for way too long every game

Wall averages 37 minutes a game. I'm not sure what you expect Wittman to do. You can't keep his minutes around 36-37 without sitting him for 5-7 minutes in each half.

Wittman sits Wall longer when the bench is holding their own without him. That's what's going on right now. Wittman is doing the right thing.

[Ruzious]

Wiz survive the time Wall was out, but the offense was so stagnant - it was painful to watch. Beal has got to create when Wall isn't in, and he's shown no signs that that's going to happen. Otherwise, you get Ariza throwing up air balls. That's more on Beal not creating than Ariza making a bad play, imo.

Seriously.

[Ruzious]

Wall and Beal combined 1 for 11 shooting. How do we have the lead?

[nuposse04]

Randy never stops bleeding.

[dlts20]

he sat Wall way too long and broke the rythm. Witt is so horrible at knowing when to sub. Its always at the wrong time. He wants until after the run starts before he makes the change

[GhostsOfGil]

Wiz have the #1 backcourt in the NBA. #1 least efficient.

[nuposse04]

We've scored 10 in this quarter...seriously, great opportunity squandered. **** Randy.

[Illmatic21]

How does this happen? We see this every single game.

[RustyMagoo]

Just a little late on that TO Randy.

I'm all for giving him his rest, but to sit him as long as he does, especially when he has it going, is inexcusable. It's not like we're on a b2b. Wall's cold and out of rhythm now.

[nuposse04]

Why randy waits until we're one possession away from being behind or tied I don't t know. It is painfully obvious the offense stopped working when we were up 8-10 and he waits THIS LONG to try to regroup. This clown is so mediocre.

[GhostsOfGil]

The Randy hate is out of control. Wall was 0-4 when he sat. It's not like he was in some sort of shooting rhythm early on. It's not the coaching staff's fault that Nene has 3 fouls or that our defensive intensity has come to a dead stop.
