The Official Washington Wizards Thread

[SiCkSoULjA]

Was told this again today. Memphis wants the 2014 pick unprotected. Beal is off limits. Could be smoke they've given me very good info in the past but I dunno.

If that is the trade proposal I am taking it and running and not looking back. 2013 pick isn't even in the fold? Wall, Beal, Gay,Noel, and Nene it's no way we are going too be that low in the lottery.

Listening to the game so I only know so much, but Glenn Consor its talking about how the mere presence of John Wall in a uniform makes my boy Vesely play so much better. That for whatever reason,.it just boosts Vesely's confidence. 8 points so far tonight

Jan is having a nice game. The whole offense has been crisp. The ball is moving around really well.

Probably the best half of basketball I've seen the Wizards play in 5 years.

John is a leader. He just knows how to handle his teammates. You can see it between the plays. It's just in the body language between Ves and John that John knows how to communicate with him and get him out of his shell and to just relax. It's almost like John is a coach out on the floor for Jan, doing all the things a PG should. And it's not just when John is on the floor with him. It carries over even when John has been on the bench.

Well that was a terrible sequence. Half time came just in time.

[MonkFan8]

Typical Wizards end to a quarter. You'd think Wall would have the good sense not to shoot jumpers.

I blame you

Funny thing is, Jan did most of his work when Wall wasn't even in the game. At least 6 out of his 8 points. Poor end to the half, like nightmareish.

Spoke too soon

Jan, Beal, Price, and Okafor are all having very good games so far. Poor shooting from the field aside, Wall is playing well too. Ariza is having a pretty good game.

Nene has been pretty quiet lately. He's not getting much lift. I wouldn't be surprised if he's hurting pretty bad.

Meh he needs to keep shooting. He needs to get into rhythm and find spots he's comfortable from. He's going to get space now, he needs to be aggressive with his shot selection.

Lol, should have seen that coming.

Oh well.

Consor noted that. Said it's not Wall setting up Vesely with easy looks, it's Wall giving him confidence.

[stevemcqueen1]

All of Ves's attempts coming at the rim. He needs to be camping out in the lane. He'll score with efficiency there.

Okafor has been dominant tonight. Nice steal from Martell too. Gotta love his effort.

Andrew Nicholson is pretty nice. He has got some serious offensive skills.

I jinxed him. That shot from Nicholson was ugly. Looked like something I'd shoot back in rec league days. When I had to throw it as hard as I could to get it to the rim from 18+ feet.

Let me tell you, that upcoming five game road trip was a bear on 2K13.

[SiCkSoULjA]

I like Bradley Beal!!!

[Fight4RGIII]

It's true, John Wall makes everything better. I bet the sodas taste better in Verizon Center tonight.
