Wall seems to be playing good defense but their point guards are scoring a ton of points. (33)

You can thank Price for most of that.

You can thank Price for most of that.

Absolutely. Also they are screening well to set up those 10 foot short jumpers.

Is this the stretch where sitting Wall hurts us with a lead? Happened last game. At least Beal is back in.

Take that, Manimal.

Man, has Beal come into his own or what?

Looking at stat line on this game, looks like turnovers and free throw shooting are killing us today. Assists are also down, but hearing about Nene's knee tendinitis makes me feel we need to focus that draft pick on someone that can play the 5 or be the big guy on the floor when we play small. Seriously, I love the guy, but he's never going to be healthy enough for us to truly rely on him to be anchor going forward. I totally believe that's why Denver traded him (though it sure does feel good knowing Mcgee is coming off the bench for Denver now).

I like the Shabazz idea, but what about this guy Zeller? I se he can play PF/C and is expected to be a lottery pick.

Nene has had serious injuries in his past and present but he actually doesn't miss that much time surprisingly. The only seasons where he missed a ton of games were the ACL tear season and the Cancer scare season. Understandable. He gets hurt because he's got such a rugged style, but he fights through it. And is remarkably efficient in doing so. I think you can generally count on 70 game seasons from him. That's good enough.

But we do need a big man anyway.

You take Shabazz #1 IMO because I still think he's the best player in the class. In the NBA, I think you are almost always best off taking the BPA unless you've already got a franchise player at his position.

But there isn't as big a gap between Shabazz and Nerlens and Zeller as I originally thought. I like Nerlens a little more than I did at first and I like Zeller a lot more than I did at first. Bigs with his instincts and scoring ability are hard to find.

Koufos is dirty with his screens. He should have been called for an offensive foul a couple of times.

Rare bad pass from Beal.

God that was a good hook from Seraphin.

That scoring touch is why he's going to get a ton of chances to put it all together.

Kevin has been great tonight on both sides of the floor.

[stevemcqueen1]

Buck just make a topical joke about the legalization of marijuana?

[StillUnknown]

Man that looked nasty

[stevemcqueen1]

I ****ing hate Koufos.

[StillUnknown]

Beal is a tough dude, I mean he bounced off the court like he was a basketball.

[Fight4RGIII]

He almost RG3'd my heart

[stevemcqueen1]

Beal is a former football player and is from a family of football players. He can take a hit.

To be 19 again.

[Fight4RGIII]

OK KEVIN. Steppin up!

[stevemcqueen1]

Lawson has been their whole team.

BEAUTIFUL PUTBACK KEVIN!

This has been one of the best games I can ever remember him playing. Best rebounding game I can remember from him.

[DemSkinz]

WOW Wall still has his wheels!! And is it just me or does Bradley Beal look like the black version of Zach Gilford, the actor from friday night lights?
