Cancer? Absolutely not.
Has he regressed? Yes.
It's beginning to get weird how much John Wall gets bashed. I've never seen a young player get bashed so much that is actually a good player. You would think Wall is Darko by how much he gets bashed. It's very strange and annoying.
Agreed.
It's funny how there's a love affair w/ Kyrie Irving who's team is just as bad...but dude can do no wrong. It is what it is, tho.
It's very comparable.Not really comparable when you consider at how high a level Kyrie has played at so far.

Kevin Seraphin is not the best in the NBA at ANYTHING
It's very comparable.
Because one of the biggest knocks on John Wall is that he hasn't turned the team around...when Kyrie hasn't exactly turned around the Cavs either despite his play.
With Kyrie it's "he needs more help".
With John it's "he's not good enough"

The kyrie/John comparisons get old real fast
I feel we are in a better situation then the Cavs like way better since John returned, we aren't suppose to be satisfied but we are moving in the right direction
Being over .500 for a 18 game stretch isn't to bad for us
Nothing is being sad about his performance against Spurs
That's a true though.. He's not even good
This just isn't true.
You don't stand 5'9 and keep a job in the league if you're not even good.
QFT
Plus look at Dude and tell me he don't look like one of the strongest PGs in the L
Off the size of his arms alone (Pause)
What? I loved Gil but Kyrie in only his second year now with no other options besides a inefficent rookie guard averages 24 on better shooting than Gil ever did in his entire career. To say he won't reach prime Gil is kind of a crazy statementprime Arenas was a lot better than Irving is now and probably ever will be.
UPDATE: David Falk has since apologized, via a statement issued to the WP: “I want to publicly apologize to both Ted Leonsis and Ernie Grunfeld for publicly expressing opinions that better judgment should have kept private. I also want to publicly apologize to John Wall. I hope he either ignores my comments completely or tacks them up on his locker and uses them as motivation. Ultimately, whether or not he becomes an elite NBA player will have far more to do with his dedication and commitment than the opinions of critics, professional or amateur.”
Yeah I think he might be reaching w/ the Kyrie hate a bit to say he won't reach prime GilWhat?

Kyrie is the goods.
Him and John are asked to do different things for their teams and I think they've both done well given the circumstances. Wall has the higher ceiling because of his size and natural gifts as an athlete.

Once J Wall starts hitting his jumpshot and 3's on a consistent basis, is over...
You're judging Gil by just shooting percentage when the better stat to use is true shooting percentage (due to the high amount of 3 pointers and free throws Arenas use to attempt). Arenas true shooting percentage at the time was on par with Kobe and Lebron's. I'm not hating on Irving, he is a very talented young guard but do you guys really see him averaging 29 ppg 6 apg 4 rpg 2 spg in his prime? Because that is what Arenas did on a winning team. Maybe he will one day but he has a ways to go.
Very interesting interview w/HOF finalist Gary Payton that will run today on @nbatv. Asked who reminds him of himself, he said John Wall.

GP also said he plans to work out this summer with Wall and @dame_lillard. Thinks Wall has the potential to be a lockdown defender/scorer.

I've often thought the same thing. The league's been very eager to promote Kyrie as a "star", perhaps, in part, to help smooth things over for Cavs fans. Monta Ellis put up superior numbers for several seasons with the Warriors, and yet - even when he LED THE LEAGUE in scoring midway through the year, they'd leave him off the All Star team.It's very comparable.Not really comparable when you consider at how high a level Kyrie has played at so far.

Any thoughts on the possibility of Wall working out with "the glove" this summer?GP also said he plans to work out this summer with Wall and @Damian Lillard. Thinks Wall has the potential to be a lockdown defender/scorer.
