Iconic career moment for Wall.. "The Hungover game: Pt II"

Over/under 15 points? Over/under 40% fg?

11 points, 6 assists, 3 turnovers 5-15 shooting tbh

Players have their faces/names put on flyers all the time. Do you really think Wall went to a pre party in Houston last night after the game?

Maybe he did, I dunno

Damn! Houston's bench!!

Whether Wall's hungover or not he's not going to show up for this game because in his mind he's clearly better than Jeremy Lin (undrafted) and Patrick Beverly (mid-second round pick). This is why he didn't bother trying against Isaiah Thomas (Late second round pick), or Calathes (balding white dude).

Wall's MO is to not even bother trying against players he thinks he's superior than, or to tuck in his tail and run when he's getting punked by players better than him.

Sadly true.
Anytime he plays someone he should destroy he's way too passive.

BTW, I'm loving these picture adds at the bottom of the RealGM screen. Jen Selter...crucial booty!

[Zonkerbl]

These guys are nobodys because they are short and quick, which is undervalued. John really struggles against the smaller, quicker guards.

Not an excuse, just an observation.

Btw, wiz are below .500. So they win tonight.

But... it says personalized for me!

edit: it says 40 reasons but I think that's just overkill.

The party was yesterday, but John Wall and the Wizards played last night... in Memphis. Fake promotion? Or did the party only get started at 2 AM?

Probably went to the part at 2 AM and went to bed around 4-5 AM before 10 AM or 11 AM shoot around... tbh

Wall is going to suck tonight not only cause of the lack of sleep but also because Beverley and Lin will torch him.

But obviously I'm talking out of my ass and don't know but trying to make a logical assumption based on the past.

[MarcoPolo]

This game is more like how we deal with Howard inside, hopefully without fouling to much in 1st half thats what killed yesterday's game plus John aka 'Does All-Star Weekend already started?' Wall attitude.

Is Webster okey? Any news on his health?

[TrosstheBOSS]

About to go 2 games below .500 woot

[Illmatic21]

"Pat Bev is a game time decision tonight vs wiz with an abdominal strain" - @ca_rockets (craig ackerman)


Beverly gametime decision. His replacement would be Aaron Brooks, doesn't play defense like Beverly but he's yet another quick scoring guard who never stops moving. Could be a tough matchup either way

[queridiculo]

The Wizards slogan this year should be "Who knows?!"

I have a feeling that the Wizards will win this one against all odds.

[hands11]

This sets up for a Houston win as frustrating or more than last night lose.

1) Back to back
2) Wall against Jeremy Lin or Aaron Brooks so Wall get toasted or tries to over do it. Neither is good.
3) Beal vs Harden... Thats a tough handle.
4) Howard vs our interior in Houston where he will get calls... Gortat with 2 fouls in 4 mins again.
5) then there is Asik behind Howard
6) 6-7 Garcia is long and will also cover Beal.
7) and the last game before the AS break.

and they have Chandler Parsons and Terrence Jones ....

Just like MEM. To big, to tall and to talented.

Last game Kevin S played 23 mins (8-13) and Randy actually used Ves for 7 mins. Otto even saw 3 mins.
Wall shot to much 8-22
Beal didn't have a good game 4-16

Will Randy be smart enough to work the rotations and use players other then what he views as the core 6, I'm not holding my breath. Its much more likely I feel like this

This sets up to be a blow out by Houston

[MikeTheKid]

Welp Im pretty much home til Friday since its starting to snow, time to breakout the Jim Beam as my weapon of choice cause I think were gonna get our buttz kicked.

[MikeTheKid]

Will Dwight get more rebounds that Gortat and Nene combined???

[queridiculo]

Nene #shaqtin, brick city for everybody else, game over.
