    on how many attempts ? no one is scared of john wall as shooter. i guarantee elite teams would still leave him to double james. he doesnt have the shooting stamina to beat any team all game, let alone through a 7 game series.

    I mean, it doesn’t look like a downgrade from Russ which is a win.

    I remember when we used to say it's gonna take a season or two for players to learn how to play together and gel. Now we give them one or two quarters apparently. :rolleyes:

    Wall has only just changed his shooting mechanics and it looks far better than it did before

    agree that's the most enlighting first half of a preseason game in the history of basketball

    I bet Stone called Morey at halftime

    which other top 20 player, regardless of position, isn’t going to dominate the ball when it’s “their turn”?

    don’t think position matters.

    harden doesn’t play basketball offense. He plays Harden offense.

    Which means my turn your turn basketball.

    you think if he was next to KD (who is a 3/4) he’d all of a sudden move without the ball?

    Yea, he moves around off ball as a slasher and cutter. I wouldn't confuse that with being an off ball shooter.

    Also some fans expect them to 100 percent gel straight away...............was never going to happen

    In a year with the pandemic, it is going to take some time for the NBA to really be at it's peak again

    Good thing John Wall was former DPOY. Chill back till we get this Frauden out the way. All the league has to do is double him... just like they do in the playoffs and he's basically average. It's proven good defenses win in the playoffs. I'm ready for a change. Let Harden have the ball. Wall starts, but essentially lead the second unit. When we get rid of Harden, Wall will be ready. Takes a while to get into game shape.
