John Wall cussed out Wittman and entire Wizards team before elimination from playoffs

[L&HH]

The same caliber of players on the Celtics , hornet's , pacers and Detroit.

Without the coaching

I really need reporters to stop pretending like the NBA relationship is the same as a high school player and coach. Randy Wittman ain't some all powerful omniscient being that Wall needs to defer to all at all times. We've seen players cuss out coaches before on sidelines and it's really not a massive deal. They need to stop acting like the coach is faultless when shyt like this goes down. They tried to throw Boogie under the bus with George Karl and he's a known a$$hole that players don't like, but Boogie's the problem.

John Wall is 25 and a pretty low key guy...outside the club, at least. I don't know why he's expected to be such a big leader.

Because he talks about being one of the "best" point guards and having the best back court, talks about other players contracts, and All Star snubs...

I agree the front office and coaching have been there past their welcome. Way past their welcome. But Wall has never been a great leader, and this isn't going to help his cause any. That team truly needs a Paul Pierce type to hold the team together. Wall is too volatile and somewhat moody, Beal has the potential to be a good leader but he's always hurt, and no one else garners that respect.

Not looking good in the Capitol right now, but getting rid of the coach and GM is a step in the right direction

Yeah the coach/GM need to go and I agree I can't see Wall leading a team to a championship he needs another leadership guy. Paul Pierce was just what that team needed mentality wise.

When you call out other guys contracts, and act like you're a top tier point guard, it has to be about leadership and performance. You have to get your team to the post season.

This right here.

I know neither of them are front runners. All of those things you mentioned are fine, but that's not the end-all for leadership. Wall has poor body language at times and defers in the clutch.

PG13 and Lowry have the respect of their teammates because they've proven when it comes down to it, they'll step up and win you games or give it all they've got. They'll live with losses being placed solely on their shoulders.

Wall passes the ball off to the other guys and shies away from the big moments. I've seen this repeatedly. Pierce and Beal hid his lack of intangibles last year imo. Outside of the "Big Bs bytch!" I can't remember big shots or clutch moments from Wall. As I've said before in another thread, if you're down down 12 and want to cut it to 4, give it to Wall. If you want to win, give it to someone else. And I am a fan off Wall, this is my fair criticism

Wtf is wall not a point? Since when is passing the ball a sin? What started this? If you have a player that's wide open of you seen him hit that same shot in practice a million times and your coverd of the game plan if to stop you...... What's wrong with passing the ball if that's one of the things your good at? fukk I hate hero ball .... The other team mates don't count or get paid right?

one of the funniest things ever will be when the coli bball experts were trying to convince us dude was a good coach a few years ago when they were in the playoffs

and lol at john wall, had that front row seat for reggie busting that ass and giving the pistons their first playoff birth in years

What happened here? How did this collapse happen so fast? This team is the biggest disappointment in the entire NBA

Paul pierce was the their leader/ go to guy

He left

 

[Steezy]

Without the coaching

So it falls on player leadership... Whose the leader of that wiz team?

 

[No Homo]

How can anyone blame Wall..hes been to the playoffs already, this season the team sucked , his second option missed damn near 30 games and he still put up 20 & 10..this is one of them situations you cant put it on him.

Rare from u but not a good analysis


Wall is a pure point playmaker who can put up points. Not the other way around.

Scoring should not be his focus. He keeps the Defense honest enough to attract gravity and find guys that's literally his best strength. And he does it very well. He needs a go to like scorer to replace a Paul Pierce.

A cj McCollum / Rudy Gay type

SMH I know Witt is gone but we need Ernie outta here too.

 

[FaTaL]

How do you miss the playoffs in the east?

 

[Kit Kat]

Wouldn't holding your team account be an example of leadership? He cared enough to be mad, not just getting his bags packed for an early vacation.

I understand the type of player he is and I get that, but Chris Paul is the same guy. And when it's winning time he ain't trusting Otto Porter or Gortat to win a game. When you have ability and talent like Wall you can't be okay passing off when it's clutch time. Especially when there's no one on your team (minus Beal) who can score like him.

But maybe he's not that good at the end of the day. His lack of a jump shot makes him hesitant to shoot late in games. It is what it is.
