Where Are We On John Wall?

I'm not sure what to think about it, but Wall's +/- is -4,8 per game in this series. Rest of S5: Beal +3,0; Morris +1,8; Porter +4,5; Gortat +1,3. So it doesn't look good for John.

Nope. He came down to earth after his first couple of games as well.

Still, very productive player and very talented player. I am not sure how much "less" of a player he is than Westbrook or Harden, if any. The rest of this series will be very telling for me (is he closer to top 5 or top 15).

edit: When I say "nope" I am agreeing with "it doesn't look good for John". I realize that is confusing.

Borderline Superstar, bonafide allstar. Best PG in the EAST (Irving/IT cant defend; Lowry in the playoffs makes me sad

). He's basically on the Butler level.

He is the Great Wall of the West.

Destroying ATL on both ends of the court. Next round will be a good test against the Celtics elite perimeter defenders.

Yea he has destroyed ATL. I'm trying not to overreact but, damn.

Defense was great tonight. That block on Schroder completely changed the momentum. 19 in the 4th, outscored Hawks. Talking **** to Julio Jones :lol:

Honestly i might take him over Harden this season. Westbrook and Curry are the only guards i feel comfortable taking over him. Cp3 im not too sure given the missed games and Wall has been great in the playoffs so far too

Wall is only 26yo and statistically on pace with a select group of HOF point guards. If he continues the improvement of his outside jumper as his career goes on, there's not much else to say.

Wall deleted Schroeder, that was raw as hell to watch

One of the best playoff blocks of this 2010s era so far IMO, specially with how Atlanta was rolling and how Wall took over offensively after

This guy is amazing. That 3rd quarter was absolutely phenomenal play on both ends dont think any other Pg can have twoway quarters like that outside of Rubio hitting jumpshots

John Wall's highlight reel for this playoffs is going to be insane.

It is crazy how much better he is than Isaiah Thomas.

This is how i expected teams to gameplan and take advantage of Isaiahs defense all playoffs. He was great in the 1st round and first 2 games against Wizards but i think its over now unfortunately, being 5'6 can only get u so far in the Nba :-?

Yes, his skillset would be special at 6' 3'', but then you have to wonder how differently his game would have developed :confused:

Still a special player, but John Wall is starting to enter his prime, which is going to be scary for years to come.

Thanks for saving me the bump amigo. 8-)

Absolute destruction of not just Bostons team today, but also their souls.

No other point guard combines elite skill and game with the kind of GQ style Wall does. I feel like he should be wearing a tuxedo instead of a uniform. The league should allow him to carry a pocketwatch during the games. Not just because it looks good, but also so they can measure the time dilation on Wall's fastbreak dashes.

Watch on YouTube

One of the most entertaining stretches of basketball I've ever seen in that 3rd quarter.

Well it looks like Wall has reached the point where he can get away with a 47% TS on 40% usage game with 7 TO's and have people think he played well.
