Ibaka cleared him out w/ a moving screen. I don't think Wall had much of a chance on that one.


True, but he has to fight his way over, get the contact and Ibaka would be called for the foul... can't go underneath


Like that!!!! Nice

Great D by Wall, but Adams got called for a moving screen 'cause he's a rookie. Most veteran bigs do far worse and get away with it.

Referees are *so* inconsistent with how they call moving screens. I can't stand it.

When Ariza is on his game, he is straight nasty.

Wall stepped up. He carried our ass in the third.

Superstar calls in the NBA are out of control.

I'm pleasantly surprised by the home crowd tonight. Durant's a superstar *and* he's a local talent. Yet the crowd is solidly behind the Wizards.

Only a 1 point swing on the superstar call...

Who said Wall shouldn't shoot at the end of quarters?

Great 3rd quarter - especially by Wall and Ariza.

Beal still hasn't shown up tonight.

Great close to the quarter. Wall put on a show there. Love watching him get aggressive and drive to the hoop

Wall doing a nice job recruiting Kevin Durant. Who wouldn't want to play with a guard who gets 15 assists 4 boards and 5 steals in 3 quarters?

Beal with some surprisingly great court vision on that kick out to Ariza.

I think this is the best Wizards game of the season.

Wow we've been almost flawless since Nene went out. How often does that happen?

What can ball movement do for you?

This is far more pleasant to watch >.>

Beal isn't shooting well but he is making smart passes. I rip on Gortat a lot, but he's been pretty damn good this game. Kudos.

I thought we were going freefall when Booker missed the easy layup, but then Ariza hits a long 3, and Gortat makes a jumper off some good passing. That's really good to see.
