    I think Wall will exceed expectations just my preseason optimism talking of course.

    I really hope we get to see a healthy Wall and Cousins with Harden and a better shooting Gordon. It would be fun to watch if nothing else.

    Although it's just a preseason game, but I like what I am seeing from Wall.

    He certainly doesn't look as quick or explosive as he used to be, but this is just his first NBA game in two years, and he should get better after he plays more game.

    He already showed that he is a very good defender and player maker, what's more exciting his that his jump shot looks smooth. I think he improve his stoke a little, which makes me hopeful that he'll be a better shooter.

    If Wall can stay healthy, I think we get a close to all-star level player who is very intelligent and seems to be a good teammate. It certainly exceeds my expectation about wall.

    John Wall looks like a bigger,younger, faster CP3.....

    Man if he can stay healthy watch out...

    Rooting hard for Wall and Cousins. I think they’ll be fan favorites in no time.

    Only if Harden stops pouting and gets back to work.

    Not a reach....
    The guy has been in the league going on 11 years...
    Has been an all star in this league multiple times...
    Not a reach...
    Just open your eyes and really watch him play...
    Very underrated...

    If Wall was two years younger I'd be ecstatic, injury or not. Sucks he's on the wrong side of 30.

    Don't jinx it bro. Health is fine until it isn't, it comes and goes like lightning.

    The anti-jinx threads are here as proof, we still gotta hold our **** together. I'm sure you know this.

    I'm more afraid of injuries than Harden leaving.

    It was a good game, he looked better then what I expected, but I’m not gonna believe “it” until I see it sustained over the season. He hasn’t played over half a season in 4 years, hopefully, he can brake that cycle this year, and bring what we save tonight for 60 games this season.
