I'm still dumbfounded that this team can't run the pick and roll properly.They don't even attempt. It can be a dangerous play, especially with McGee setting the pick.

That's all I do in NBA2K with McGee. Pick and roll, have him shoot toward the basket. It's not always there, but when it is, it's impossible to stop.

It's simple man: he was pressing. His team sucks, he was trying to put all that **** on his shoulders, and he wasn't playing within himself. Anyone who's played basketball on any type of level should've known that. He had a monster rookie year, arguably the best PG rookie year since Magic. Did people really think he just forgot to play basketball overnight? That it was a fluke? The calls of him being a bust or overrated or overhyped were beyond absurd. I still have several people on ignore from that, and I really don't know why their posts/opinions should ever be relevant again. I'm serious, it was that ridiculous.

The team was winless, fan were searching for ANY bright spots, who are they gonna look to first? The star player. they see he's not doing well, call him a bust. I admit, I did, and his play was worthy of very harsh criticism. But I'm here to eat my crow.

John Wall played smart today and it made all the difference in the world. Gotta hope he keeps it up.

Kyre Irving is gonna top both

[shuler74]

Kyrie, is ahead of wall in terms of oint guard skills.....that being said you really cant say he will be better than wall...wall is physically way more talented than irving but time will only tell

[Destino]

Ahhhhh I missed this game! Looking at the box score just doesn't do it. . Did our backcourt really dominate in the game as the box score suggests?

Wall stringing games together... Hope he can keep it up.

I'm hoping Wall has turned the corner similar to how Rose did his second year. Not many people remember but the first few weeks into the season in his second year analysts were saying Rose had regressed from his rookie year but then of course he turned it on and became an all-star. I think people are just too quick to anoint players busts or stars based on a few good or bad games. Here's to getting win number 3 against the Nuggets Friday!

Rose didn't become an All Star until his third year.

Ahhhhh I missed this game!

Me too.

Movie night with a friend and figured it was a sure loss anyway.

Young was off the in the first half, 2nd half was a much better shooting effort.

As a team, we can't shoot to save our lives, but we can produce alot of points on hustle & effort when their minds are right.

Went to my first Wizards game today since Juan Dixon scored 35 in his first start ever. I pick fun games to go to. Besides those two, I went when I was really young, before Jordan and at that time they had Rip Hamilton. I had floor seats and some lady asked me if I wanted to participate in a mid quarter event on the court. I had to beat a Wizards shorts, shoes, and jersey on and score a bucket before the other kid. We were both about 9 or 10. Beat that other kid's a**. But, I never got my free tickets I was promised. Anyways, I had a blast tonight and the crowd seemed to be really into it, even though I saw A LOT of Durant jerseys.

Durant is local and he is a beast

Wait, what???

Kyrie Irving ahead of Wall in terms of PG skills? That's news to me. LOLOLOL. The ONLY thing Kyrie does better than Wall at this point is shoot the ball. I swear some of you all have no memory of the rookie season Wall had. You don't average over 8 apg (as well as 17ppg) if you can't run a team. Wall is a TRUE pass-first PG and some of this slander on the kid is a bit unfounded...and amusing at the same time. C'mon now...Irving ahead of Wall LOL.

[Warhead36]

Wall's ceiling is waaaaaaaay higher than Irving's. At best Irving will be a solid PG like an Andre Miller type, but if Wall reaches his full potential he can be a top 10-15 player in the entire league.
