Some folks compared him to Rondo, but I think that's wrong. Rondo goes 15/12 on purpose, while Wall only does that if he's missing shots. He's at his best IMO when putting up 20/9. It also usually means he's getting to the rim and that opens up shots for others. That's what makes this offense go.

This is the formula to beat the Bulls.
Swarming defenses make it hard to pass. Wall needs to score more and get to the line. He need to go at Kip. Nene needs to go at Boozer and Noah.
The offense should be focused on Wall, Nene and PnR to Gortat and that opens 3s for TA then Beal. Beal can drive as well but he should not be handling the ball too much or shooting 16 times or running that two man game.
Its going to be enough to get Wall warmed up to playoff speed, trying to have him and Beal both be a focus I feel would be a mistake. Let Wall work it out with Nene, Gortat and Trevor A first. Beal needs to focus on defense, passing quickly and driving so he gets to the line.
Then lock down D with the second unit. That means Temple over Miller.
Randy needs to coach to win. Not to stroke egos or do what he views as safe.
