No you fukking weirdo, I don't give a shyt about Wall, I just like him as a player and I think he's good, what do you want me to say? I'm not a Wall stan, I'm just calling it like I see it. I saw a team missing a bunch of shots they were making all game around the 3rd quarter, and I saw another team start pounding it in the paint and playing great defense.When the pace went to the halfcourt, Wall had trouble, ok, so what happened when the pace was fast? You were quiet as a church mouse and everyone in the thread is like "
Where those people saying Wall is a bum" and those people magically saying he's better within the moment are just as stupid.It's a team game with so many ebbs and flows. I'm not blaming it all on Wall, and I'm not absolving him of all the blame, but it's silly to say it's all his fault.
And no It's over when one team wins 4 games. Win or lose, every game is an opportunity to learn and get better, Wall is having a bad series, he's going to get better, but there isn't much more else to say. These guys aren't robots. They come out and play like shyt sometimes, they come out and play well sometimes. Just so happens he's playing like shyt in the playoffs his first go round.
To say it's all his fault and Wall needs to win it singlehandedly blah blah blah he's supposed to be this, he's supposed to be that, is just corny and reeks of of the same shyt I get sick of hearing cornball cac journalists rehash endlessly.
You're not telling me anything I already don't know. And no, it's not about performing to their ability and status, it's called probability and variance. If it was as easy having them go out and play the same way every night, sports wouldn't be so unpredictable.
"Clutch, playing to their status, superstars, winners," is just conjecture and bullshyt and there's nothing more to say.
Wall's jumper is broken some nights, and some nights it isn't, but we know it's probably going to be broken more nights than not. He settled a lot tonight for his lowest percentage shots, when he went to the basket he either kicked it out or missed. Those low percentage shots he were taking were close misses, his mechanics have gotten better and I've noticed all season so his jumper is fixable—anyone's jumper is fixable.
He's 23 years old. Three years from now rip apart and do all the bullshyt you want, but I'm not going to be a victim of the moment.
I just honestly don't know what you want me to say or admit, but ok, so make another scathing rebuttal and I'll respond because I ain't got shyt else to do but watch this syndicated Shaft movie
Real quick: Harden is a convenient parallel to draw, but we've seen greatness from him in the playoffs a la the Spurs series on OKC, and we've seen pathetic shyt from him, but we have a decent sample size to judge him with, with Wall, we have one.
That's why I think that's an unfair comparison at this point.

That made no sense whatsoever. If Miller plays the way he was in the waning minutes thye prolly would've won this one
I think Wittman wanted to see Wall go out there and seal the deal. Give him confidence. Either that or maybe he thought Miller looked gassed
This isn't a young team. It has two young players who are All Star talents and a bunch of veterans that should know how to close out games with all those years of playoff ball on the floor.
CWebb and all the beat reporters and analysts don't understand this is an old team with a bunch of free agents this summer.
This team as constructed has peaked.
An imaginative GM would know how to retool to get this to a contender in the East by finding a coach and managing resources better but we have Grunfeld who'll prolly get this back into the lottery next year and hopefully his firing.

Breh I'm dead
For Game 5, if I was Wittman I'd play that spread lineup again and ride with them in the 4th quarter
Miller, Beal, Webster, Harrington and Gooden

Over 70% of the Coli voted for WAS to win....
the majority opinion on the coli is usually wrong let this be your lesson
There is no way someone said that seriously.
If they did @Brooklynzson should consider revoking his coli pass and regulate him to the bushes.

they call a guy playing good and smiling a "front runner" when their entire fanbase is the made up of the biggest group of front running bandwagon hopping fakkits in the modern era
Wittless said YMCA Dre was gassed postgame interview. And that it was Wall's time to close it out.

That's the most inane clock management excuse I've ever heard. That's like putting your best closer in at the 7th inning and letting your weakest bullpen guys close it out in the 8th and 9th.
Yeah. He should have put in the AARP crew earlier in the 3rd, then let the starters back in the 4th and close out with the old guys late to make one last push against George's big night.
The spread lineup works for pushing the pace. Was impressed with Gooden's defense vs. West and Hibbert. He showed a lot of heart, more than I've seen from Gortat lately
As the thread title suggests:
