    Again last year he had Cousins, Spalding and Patton rolling. Both defenders would
    defend Wall much like both would be on Harden. That's why Harden had to go to
    Iso with the Rockets at the end.

    Do you deny that Wall had an Ast% in the 40's most of his days with Wiz and with Gortat?

    Compare Ast% of Wall with point guards now and in the past......anything around
    30 or greater is good. It's not John Stockton to Karl Malone 50's, but geez.
    Look at Marbury, Allen Iverson Rondo and other Ast% of some of the great PG's
    of the game. Wall is right there with many.

    But that's why Wall waived off the screener last year, because Cousins, Spalding and Patton
    suck as roll men. Sengun, Theis and Garuba blow them out of the water. Difference between
    last year and this year. Night vs day.

    Please don't confuse Wall with two SG"s learning to play point guard in Porter/Green.
    Thats an insult to basketball purists such as myself....despite anyone's feelings towards Wall.

    No he had Wood rolling and he never gave him the ball. Check the gamethreads last year we were all freaking out about how he wouldn't dump to Wood. I don't care about your pre washed stats. When you're washed you're washed. That's like giving me NY Carmelo stats to say he's good. That John Wall is dead.

    Oklahoma is better than they were before. I'm looking at the thunder, magic, and pelicans to breakup the losing streak. If they can't win any of those games, losing record will be in sight. If silas keep experimenting with kpj, he won't have a job.

    2-18. Judging by that lineup that was thrown out at the beginning of the 4th quarter, this is a tank year through and through. Just experimenting.

    My 10-10 prediction looks terrible now.
    4-7 was right there if they could just hit what are supposed to be freebies.
    And most game nights they've outscored the other starters imagine if they turned it over just 3 less times a game. Oh well. I'm not hating the season. In fact I'm disappointed these nba 'athletes' can play 162 games! =)

    I think you are being too optimistic here.

    1-14. @Williamson post will still be the most accurate by far

    1-19 will be totally unacceptable
    but
    at this point totally possible
