Well, in fairness, we took Mike Pence off their hands. Taking back Mahinmi is the least they can do.

Great to see Wall get a game winner!
Great to see "the death lineup" of deneem4 on the court at the end: Wall Beal Porter Oubre Gortat
Bobby Portis is very good. Oubre is very promising.
Denzel Valentine (who EG didn't draft due to the Morris trade) is very good.
My favorite Doug McDermott (Omaha, NE; Creighton) isn't as good as I projected him to be.
Great win for the Wizards!

ESPN Stats and Information
John Wall's game-winning shot was his first go-ahead FG in the last 5 seconds of the 4th quarter/OT in his NBA career. He was 0-of-16 on such shots entering the night.
That stat is misleading. I'm sure Wall has made some go ahead free throws. And, this season anyway, Wall has been rock solid in the final 2 minutes.
So far, this year, excluding tonight's game, Wall has a 50% eFG% in the final 2 minutes of the 4th and OT on 46 shot attempts. That's pretty damn good since nearly all of those attempts are isolation plays. And that stat doesn't factor the FT's he has made, which would probably get his TS% well above 60%.

It's a cherry-picked stat, but it's still startling and shows some of the problems Wall and the Wiz have had in the past.

Yeah, can't argue with that. The Wizards have been terrible on last second shots for a while now. I just didn't like the implication that Wall was somehow anti-clutch this year. He has been poor in the clutch in the past, but he has been very, very good this year.
