    Tonight vs. the Kings

    18 pts 7-7FG, 13 rebs(5 offensive) in 19 min. AT HALF-TIME.

    Dude has been beasting lately. He's probably not even 100% yet. Once he's fully recovered from his injury, he'll be averaging 20/12. BOOK IT!!!

    GTFO John Wall.

    And John will be averaging 20/8/7 or something of that sort. What is your point? John will win ROY book it. The NBA glorifies the perimeter game.

    I wanted that before he was drafted, got blistered for putting up a poll about it.

    No. The real story is that the Clippers are blowing a team out by over 30 points.

    IDC if it's preseason.

    Lol. Hell no. At most, Wall will average 18/8/3 on 43% shooting. The dude will be a poor man's AI. Will get his points but needs 20+ shots to get there.

    1). You don't know him on a personal level to call him a f*****...
    2). Yes he is fast.
    3). His game is pretty from what I've seen. If you're referring to his outside shot then that can be developed over time.

    I predict John Wall will be ROY with Blake Griffin 2nd because the entire Wizards franchise revolves around him and he will be up to the task. I'm also very high on Griffin, who seems like a forgotten player for many. He will take the NBA by storm if he's healthy. The problem is he plays on a team with Baron Davis and Eric Gordon, both of whom will subtract from his production. Plus, at some point in the season I think the Clippers could end up being a mess with Vinny as coach. I think they made an incredibly stupid decision hiring him.

    Wall also has the NBA hype-machine in his favor. I won't be shocked if Griffin wins it, but I give Wall the edge. Both guys will have impact seasons and careers in the NBA.

    The only legitimate reason Walls wins the ROY instead of Griffin. Kudos.

    Agree with the post, but don't underestimate the league's ability to change gears in a hurry.

    no his crossover and just the way he runs is not pretty imHo. that and the fact that and the fact that he did the john wall dance at that huge "miami heat esque" kentucky ceremony and played for john calipari make him a f***** imHo. I'm not using f***** in the way yall think of it, im using it like...

    ***·got:
    n. nonoffensive slang

    1. Used as a term for someone who yaonow doesn't think the way they do crossovers or run is pretty and who does john wall dances during excessive school pep rallies and plays for a crook.

    2. Someone who has a disgusting degree of hype that has made yaonow :rolleyes: at the mere mention of his name. Perhaps yaonow may have liked this player despite the above qualities except for the fact that ppl irritatingly suggest that he is better than derrick rose; a player who yaonow considers to have the prettiest game and gait in the league

    Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't Blake griffin drafted past year? Didn't be spend his ROOKIE season recovering from injury? If this is true then he cannot win ROY. Besides John Wall's going to win it.

    Blake is technically a rookie this year because he didn't play any games last year (same as how Oden was a rookie in his "2nd" year). He probably won't win ROY though because he will get a minor injury and have it exacerbated by the Clippers pathetic training staff.

    They allow fudging in the ROY race if it's due to injury.

    From all I've heard, Griffin is beastly too.
