Wall cruises for the most part in the 1st 3/4ths of seasons. Late March he'll switch it on

I’m a wizards but Wall and Kemba are at least of equal value. Kemba might be the most underrated player in the league
Equal value :stop:

Kemba is a more consistent scorer, not as consistent with assist, John is I guess better at defense but his defense is imo borderline horrible. He's quick, he gets steals, excellent A+ help defender. Just don't put an unnamed PG in front of him because they will have a career game. Only reason ish Smith is in the league is because he averages 32pts a game vs wall. And who the fukk names their child ish? :dahell:

If his last name was Islamic then I'd be like ok. His last name Smith and he look like the type to front on the sistas nah mean. Has grape juice in the fridge, uses proper English outside of job interviews, he got beats by Dre headphones but he listens to classic rock :yeshrug:
john is my guy....but that is not an excuse. for some reason I still dont think he takes care of himself physically off the court.
He takes excellent care of himself, especially this off-season. That might be the problem, he trained possibly too hard. Everyone breaks down at different times, you gotta pay attention to your body, and some injuries are just plain unavoidable. I expect wall to return to form in time for the playoff push. Will the team play well when he's on the bench? Tbc...

well this year was one of the few years he came into camp healthy so they were expected to start faster than they did last year and they actually did the opposite. john has been overweight some offseasons too and I think needed to get in shape after the fact. like its no mystery why in the 2nd half and postseason is usually when he turns it up. maybe because he was healthy he did overtrain, but the point is....not sure the mental focus is there...and man he needs to work on that off-balance mid-range jumpshot.

So after knocking off the hottest team in the league while John gets his swv on, they now face the best team in the East currently for the second time without wall. Last time was in Toronto where Tim Frazier went off :smugbiden:

Tune in tonight for the next episode of "JJ was right!!!"

Scott Brooks last year got Wall accountable and he had his best year. But as long as Ernie Grunfeld is there, nothing will move the Bullets into contention

But Brooks act gets old as OKC fans know. He is like Wittman and has no offensive system or philosophy.

Wall doesn’t motion AT ALL without the ball in the halfcourt. He just stands and guys sag off him when he could set a pick or cut to the rim.

Then you have him jacking long 2s with time on the clock and it’s just bad basketball. Wall also plays great defense only when he wants to.

The Wizards bench is better this season because Satoransky moves without the rock and does the simple little things to make the offense a little unpredictable at the PG position. He also defends over screens and communicates with Oubre especially on guarding the other wings.

Wall isn’t going over screens and has just been lazy.

But amazingly the Wizards are still 5th in the conference
You do realize that Ernie Grunsfeld put this team together, and Coach Brooks is the reason they are playing like they are because he's the coach :hula: he runs the plays :hula: he gives players like Oubre the red light to shoot it. You would be the first guy to say how stupid Brooks is for letting him shoot that much. But the truth is you're a moron when it comes to teams developing. You like the Coach Unseld of the coli :francis:

John will be the answer tho, and now I think the coli finally recognizes us as Contenders. (They bushed my thread making that proclamation :umad: )

If he got in Oladipo shape I could see him winning an MVP but it’s up to him. He doesn’t cut or play hard all the time because he isn’t in too shape.
