Agreed. They're playing in control, nothing looks fluky. Playing team ball.

But we all know Durant will spark another run

No one else in the league is protected by the refs the way KD is. Not even LeBron.

Wall is just 5-15..

but this might be the best all around game he's played all season.

I totally disagree with 2 things you said. 1 is you and Nate keep talking about total minutes in games played but every game is different. You go by the feel of the game and the opponent. Wall needed to come back in early this game. One game is not going to kill anyone. You are playing the best team.

Wittman WAS going by feel. Wall wasn't shooting very well in the 1st quarter, and the bench was doing just fine without Wall in the 2nd. That's exactly the time you sit Wall for a little bit longer than usual. Giving him 6-7 minutes of rest in the 1st half allows him to rest Wall maybe 4 minutes in the 2nd half while still keeping his minutes around 37.

There's never a good time to rest Wall. You have to accept the limitations of the personnel on the roster. If you were the coach going by "feel", you would play Wall 44 minutes a night.

Wall's line is just sick.

You're gonna have to do better than that if you want to win the dunk contest, Wall.

Not sure what it would take to get these "wizards fans" out of their damn seats but if a giant lead and breakaway slam by our superstar against the #1 team in the league isn't enough, then nothing is.

Wizards fans suck.

He's 7-17 and more importantly I believe he's 7-10 in this half. That is **** impressive.

I knew I'd turn on the T.V and the Wizards are blowing out the Thunder. This team is freakin bipolar.

Why you no beat crappy teams Wizards!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Give Wittman credit. He kept Temple in there long, and Temple deserved every second. And then Wall comes in with a great play. Good job by Randy.

Baby steps. Not cheering for the opposition is a good first step.

POTG is Trevor Ariza. He's done a fantastic job on Durant, holding him to 8-21 shooting and 5 turnovers with no double team help. If not for a couple of dubious calls from the refs, Durant's line would look downright bad.

What in the hell was that last defensive possession?!?!?!

Post #159 » by **Ruzious** » Sun Feb 2, 2014 2:10 am

Wow, the Wiz completely lost their focus. Good timeout there, but wow - how do they just fall asleep like that. You can't just coast against OKC. Respect the damn game.

Nice quick time out from Wittman. Get those guys focused to finish up down the stretch.
