    I get this sketch azz feeling Wall is going to be an insecure diva. I really hope im wrong, but at the same time not sure how comfy I am with Wall being KPJ's 'role model' on the team either. Hope they all can keep it professional.

    I haven’t been able to watch the games. Did Wall purposely not pass to Mason? That is a pretty massive red flag.

    So now we’re pretending Wall was the reason Jones didn’t get any playing time?

    Kings are giving Rockets 4.5 points in tonights game. For people that like to gamble. Take Rockets plus 4.5 points. They will break the streak tonight. Will only be the second time in last 14 games that Rockets win with the line.

    Wall never had to be insecure in DC. They never drafted or brought in somebody at his position . The closet was Beal and Beal and Wall didn’t like each other at all. They didn’t get along. Their first few seasons together. They grew to respect each other but their friendship/bond was never that cool.
    But outside of Beal the Wizards never really borough in another good guard so he never had any reason/competition to be insecure.

    Here in Houston it’s a different story. I never forget when Mason Jones went off and he said Wall talked down his performance and said he need to get others involved or do more than score as Jones never had another breakout game. He started playing tentatively and notatwching anymore.

    when wall got injured in DC, the team spoke out out and basically the games was fun again and the ball was moving around on offense. Gortat was very vocal. The rest of the team had a camaraderie with each other that they didn’t have with Wall.


    This is why I said I worry about Wall with the youths. It’s not his game but his mentor ship or leadership is off. I’ve heard Wood gives Cousins credits. For mentor ship and Tate the same with Tuckers and Jones the same with harden. I’ve yet to hear anyone on the team say that Wall has been a huge credit to their development or great mentor or leader. That’s not him.

    Wall: "I didn't see him, Coach."
    Silas: "Six feet four inches, jumping up and down in the corner, no defender within twelve feet, waving his long arms, haircut like Jimi Hendrix, screaming, 'Ball, ball, ball', and you 'didn't see him, Coach'? Look, maybe you should take a seat."
    Wall: "Forty million dollars and you're gonna bench me?"
    Silas: (loooooooooooooong pause) "Just don't do it again. Go."

    Forget that. The ball goes through Kevin and Wood. Wall is the third option.

    Man you guys are really hard on John. I don’t foresee an issue with him passing the ball. Lately he has nobody to pass it to that can do anything with it so it eventually comes back to him so he tries to do something with it. He is not a shooter, he is a driver, but right now the defense doesn’t have anyone they have to defend so they clog the paint and cut off driving lanes. It’s tough out there right now.

    Porter Jr can create his own plays off the dribble so that will be helpful for the entire squad. Even Lamb can set a pick and pop out for the shot. PJ can’t do that. Getting Wood back will also open things up for everyone.

    Kpj will be more aggressive on offense. He's not going to be in the game and not be part of the offense.

    A PG creates plays for others. That’s why he’s a point guard. When Wall crosses the the three point line he doesn’t have the peripheral vision to see anyone else but the basket maybe the corner. Watch CP3 troll the interior of the defense. Watch Harden decelerate to read and react - watching players on the go. Wall has one speed going to the basket - fast. That’s why wood wall pnr hasn’t worked. He may have been a different player while injured... now somewhat healthy you see him trying to constantly break defenders down.

    Yes, John Wall will pass to KPJ, he’s averaged over 9 assists for his career. The Wall bashing on here is odd, he’s not the reason the team is bad.
