I'm stuck at work - didn't see the 1st half. What's the story on Booker playing only 7 minutes? They just went with the hot hands?

Maybe they wanna take a closer look at Gooden, before decide what to do with him. It's his last game of the 10 day contract, right? Besides AH wants some minutes.

Good we have 10 points lead at half but should be more.

It's his last day? No wonder he's balling :lol:

Anyone else find it slightly funny that John is a better midrange shooter than Beal?

That was a good timeout by Wittman. I was just thinking to myself he should call a TO and settle the team down, they weren't playing with any intensity on defense

Not really, Wall usually only takes (relatively) open midrange jumpers, while Beal constantly dribbles into contested ones

Agreed. I think Wall shoots better off the dribble though. He steps into that shot naturally, while Beal seems to force it.

True, Wall has probably practiced those exact shots a lot more than Beal has. Beal's pullup jumper moving towards the baseline is butter though

Singleton is so dumb. It'll be a great day when he never wears a Wizards uniform again

dlts20 · Post #51 » by **dlts20** » Thu Mar 6, 2014 1:41 am

why is Singelton the 6th man for us? he's the 1st guy off the bench every game now. So annoying

Singelton is awful.

Noooo Otto

dlts20 · Post #54 » by **dlts20** » Thu Mar 6, 2014 1:43 am

we have to be the worst team in the league with loose balls now. We never come up with them

Illmatic21 · Post #55 » by **Illmatic21** » Thu Mar 6, 2014 1:44 am

Otto was wide open rolling to the hoop and Wall looked him off, then gave him the ball in a bad spot

hands11 · Post #56 » by **hands11** » Thu Mar 6, 2014 1:44 am

Can't run Otto of a screen like that until he fits that double clutch in his shot.

That kind of form is better for cutting to the basket or wide open catch n shoot.

Sluggerface · Post #57 » by **Sluggerface** » Thu Mar 6, 2014 1:44 am

Watch Wittman give Otto the Rice treatment and bench him because he doesn't produce any meaningful stats other than plus/minus.

I still just dont like the pep in our step or our overall tempo/enthusiasm/will at home compared to the road. Its night & day and it starts with Wall who comes out night & day to me

Otto is a rookie who has played very sparingly. Singleton just hurts my eyes. His end here can't come soon enough.

Beal has played well this game, choose his next stinker (which will likely be next game) to hate. It's all about rationing that hate.
