ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Mavericks 1/23/2021

Dont know about you but I have actually watched them play together prior to the injuries.

And even with more practice time between Wall and Wood, Harden and Wood looked infinitely better with ZERO practice time.

Wall is not great in PnR. He never played a lot of PnR with Wizards.

Do your due diligence.

This was not an attack, only speaking facts.

Wood is the franchise, not Wall.

Do not get too attached, for your own emotional health.

 

Here is better angle of KJ climbing Boban Mountain.

 

THANK YOU!
Imho thats a more impressive block because Luka is one of the craftiest people in the league, he s unbelievable.

I hope someone posts video of KJ blocking Luka

 

All the PJ haters listen up.

 

I'm saying that Wall has been injured for nearly 3 years but was an all star every year before that. Again, early was with Harden and it was hardens team. Wall never played pnr with the Wizards? Lol. You must have never seen the Wiz play. You will throw this Wall and Wood take in the trash very soon. Also don't expect a guy to miss 2 years and not have any rust in a new system, weird minutes, and Harden around. Wall and Wood will have great chemistry

 

Does Wall know how to throw a lob?
Did he use to throw it to the bald guy on wizards?

 

All Star in East doesnt really impress me, especially when he was a Reserve for most of those All Stars.

One season he was a East All Star starter (2015) and he has only earned one 3rd team All NBA (2017).

That was his only All NBA showing for his entire 10 year career.

And if Wall was an excellent PnR guy with Wiz then why does he reek playing with Wood?

Due diligence man.

 

While I agree with most you say, I have to somewhat disagree with this statement. I think harden had alot to do with everything, including how people played with one another. Especially true in trying to showcase him with wood in hopes of keeping him.
Is the wall/wood combo ever going to be as good as harden/wood? Absolutely not but now that it's clear who is going to be running the show, I think it will get better to a point where it will be a lethal weapon. Wall will never replace harden bc he is not as good but that's ok bc I think there is hope that the stuff we got for harden will help us get there at some point. For now wall/ wood is the best we can hope for

 

Never really played with a athletic lob type of big

 

Before Harden showed up, Silas report out of training camp was that Wood and Wall had something going together. I believe it will show up in the games soon. We really haven't seen much of them together yet. It's probably not ever going to be like with Harden but I expect good things.

 

So because someone isn't historical like Harden means that they suck? There were literally a ton of people in the media calling Wall the 2nd best player in the east at one point. Wall reeks at it with Wood even though he's only played in 7 games, only 6 with Wood, and 5 of those games were with Harden. Your takes are terrible really

 

LOL

I can only comment on what I see.

Was the connection between Wall and Wood in PnR good or not?

Be honest now.

And seriously, why do you keep bringing up Harden. He has zero impact on the success or lack thereof on Wall-Wood PnR.

 

Just as long as they play nice

 

How can you say that Harden has zero impact on that? It makes zero sense. It's like saying that Kyrie is having zero effect on Harden. Wall and Harden had zero chemistry, Harden quit, and the whole vibe around the team was bad. Wall will be the full time PG now. That wasn't the case before

 

PnR is primarily focused on 2 players. And when I call it Wall-Wood PnR I identify the 2 players involved.

How are you not understanding this?

In either case, below is the fellow you should be giving yourself a stroke over.
