GT #47: Wizards @ Mavericks 8:30 PM (NBCSW/1500 AM)

Gortat is such a snake if he's the one talking to Stephen A.

My guess would be Marikeff Morris. He slapped Stephen A. Smith on the butt in Game 6 against the Celtics and he's from Philadelphia like Smith.

That doesn't make sense if we're talking about criticisms of Wall because Keef and Wall are reportedly very tight. My guess is that Stephen A. doesn't have an inside source. He's likely just speculating or buying into rumors or trying to read between the lines, which is what journalists and talking heads often do.

I don't think Stephen A. Smith source is the one who is going against Wall.

It could be Markeiff telling Steven A what Marcin Gortat says.

--Gortat is close to Kieff from Phoenix.

--Kieff and SAS go back to Philly days.

Or it could be none of the above.

Or it could be SAS making shixt up like he always does.

When Beal has the ball...its like Wall knows he isnt getting it back...or is that the play?

At this point the Wizards could trade both Wall and Beal. They are nice young man and they probably have solid careers wherever they go.

But I know they're not the real problem.

They are part of the real problem. Neither are leaders and both mail it in on the defensive end. Both allow way too much dribble penetration and are turnover machines on the offensive end. They may not be the only problem, but there are definitely part of the problem.

I agree.

The Wizards need a veteran with the temperament of the player Sam Cassell. They need someone like Ty Lue who has the gall to tell Lebron to STFU. Wall and Beal need to hear it when they allow dribble penetration and/or take plays off. They also need to be kindly reminded not to go into hero mode in crunch time. ALWAYS make the best play when possible. Play smart. Move the ball. Get the best looks. Play sound, fundamental ball AT BOTH ENDS.

Now that they've made the AS game, perhaps they'll be less shot happy and can use their energy competing at both ends of the court.
