    This. It seems all EGO
    It's all ME! ME! ME!
    His whole game just feels so Selfish.
    Like he gets irritated when anyone else takes a shot
    (Except maybe Dipo)

    Whoever thought sharing the ball was going to be the holy grail... you are wrong.

    The most lame analysis you can give is to default to talking about ball sharing as if that's the key to a championship.

    This was the best version of the roster we have seen without Christian Wood. Give the ball to the best players and let them figure it out. This looked almost exactly like the iso offense with MDA and Harden... Nets could not prepare for this, and yet they effortlessly beat us.

    Stick around, Harden haters, and prepare for the next blow it up people who will say the exact same garbage like you did in 2020.

    I can not recall a team with two max/near max guys that are actually playing losing 13 straight games. This takes obscure talent to do. There also has to be some sort of statistic where our average age of our players has to be one of the highest for a streak of this sort in the modern NBA. A team losing 13 games usually would consist of a younger squad, we have multiple 25 year old guys that are considered our "young" talent and a bunch of vets lol. I mean this really takes a special type of talent to assemble.

    I only watched him against the rockets and always knew he was selfish. Wasn't expecting anything from him except the pick that was attached.

    However, Wall will get better at driving next season or late this season if he gets enough rest. I think he only cares about getting healthy and making highlights this season, that massive ego is bruised from watching others and thinking he's better than them.

    Meanwhile, when you look at the wizards you see how he affected and held back Beal. That's what he will do to Wood too if we allow it.

    This is my primary concern
    Not only Wood
    but Tate/Nwaba/Patton/Brown/KPJ/Jones/ etc

    We have to teach these guys to play . . .and play the right way
    THEIR GAME IS NOT TO GIVE THE BALL TO WALL AND MOVE OUT THE WAY

    If there is any way to Trade John Wall.

    He is Delusional, Selfish and Corrupt in being a Ball Hog.

    Pay Half of his Salary to move him.

    Kevin Porter Jr., Christian Wood Growth and Development is needed by being unselfish. John Wall sends a bad message.

    Rocket fans in attendance tonight had the audacity to boo James Harden in his return and then watch Wall and Oladipo make the entire show about them.

    Who is a better passer than him? Stirling Brown? LOL.
    And even if he passes it to Tucker, what odds the dude will even shoot it, let alone hit

    Ok. We all know Harden is the best PG in the NBA, and has been for many years.

    John Wall and Victor Oladipo are going to keep the Team back. By being Selfish you hurt the development of the Younger Players.

    Kevin Porter Jr. not being around John Wall and Victor Oladipo is a good move considering it is bad message to send the younger players.

    I'll disagree sightly there. If we have the stars to win a title (say for example a LeBron and an AD), then the guys you mentioned other than Wood and KPJ will be taking less shots than they're currently taking. They are getting plenty of reps.

    The issue is that they're standing around for Wall, when it's only harden in the NBA who is a good enough iso scorer to demand that ball movement doesn't disturb or confuse his drives.

    But yes in general they will be picking up bad habits from Wall, and it will undermine Silas' voice.

    First thing I noticed too. Ball hogs, both of them. It’s like Francis and Mobley all over again. Oladipo is particularly galling to me because it seems like he is ALWAYS stat padding.

    That’s a good thing. Team needs him to score to up his non-exisant trade value.

    .....If only PJ Tucker shot more than two times and decided to score...why isn’t anyone talking about him.

    he’s clearly waiting for a trade.

    I'm happy for both to up their stats so they can be traded faster.


    Tucker meanwhile should've been gone ages ago.
    Brown Tucker for Nesmith & the timelord seems like a great trade for both parties.
