Who knows what the fukk happened with Wall?

But I'll tell you one thing: there's no way an all-star and supposed "2nd best player in the East" :jaecrowder: should be tired that easily; his conditioning is concerning.

44 minutes, and he played the entire 2nd half.

the difference in this series was depth and coaching. your team won, no need to pile on the man for shyt out of his control.

He shot terribly...he didn't play terribly. He still averaged 25/10
Defensively he was bad, and he made a lot of mistakes on offense (pacing, decision making and shooting) in almost every game. I can't fault his overall effort. "Terrible" is most definitely a hyperbole, but he certainly didn't have a good series.

Exactly, Scottie Brooks back to his old rotations. Jennings should have played more, no matter how bad he is. The way Wall plays, you can't play him 44 mins and expect him not to be tired with that playing style

We have a 6 foot 7 PG/SG on the bench who's a much better defender than Jennings in Tomas Satoransky but got zero burn outside one of the home games. Yeah, he can't shoot, but neither can Jennings.

Kelly Oubre got zero minutes on the wing.

That's 2 guys on the bench who will bring it defensively yet he went with Bogdanovich who can't play defense. I knew that trade would cost them.

He's in better shape than he was a year ago when his face was all bloated his physique was bad bodied...but there's another level he needs to get to with his conditioning. These 4th quarters dude looks like he's about to die...homie you only 26 years old. Like I said, if he's serious about being an elite player he's got to work harder.

Miami Heat are the best at conditioning their players... he needs to get on that tip. Or just workout with Beal who's gotten wayyyyy better with his conditioning.

Jennings is terrible breh, he averaged 1ppg, 1apg on 18% in 12mpg for the series, they had no choice but to play Wall a ton.

The Wiz need a backup PG in the worst way.

This is why I said they were better off playing Satoransky.

Kid can't shoot but he will play defense and he's got good 2 good Achilles. :yeshrug:

He's tired breh. These new cats don't have that unlimited energy like Kobe, Bron & Jordan.

I suspect coaches will be resting their star players more in the regular season like Pop in the upcoming years.
How's that neck of yours feeling? :mjgrin:

I'm sure @I.AM.PIFF will be able to provide some remedies to help with the pain. :mjgrin:

He was good defensively at home, but on the road he was terrible. He let his offense dictate his defensive effort and he ALWAYS fell asleep on the backdoor cuts of Bradley.

2-3 years ago, Wall wasn't playing defense like this. The emphasis on improving his offense has taken away his focus on the other end the last 2 years.

And the pace was not dictated by him as it was in the last round or the first two home games. Tonight they had the opportunity with being up 6 in the 3rd to finally get in a flow and put together some good possessions. But nope.
