Ariza is awesome.. it's gonna be sad when we have to let him go, I don't think we can find another player out there to replace what he does.

I wonder if there are advanced stats on Maynor, he is historically bad
He was -12 in FIVE minutes of play before Wittman benched him and brought Wall back early.
By contrast Wall is a +17. As soon as he comes in for Maynor (with the rest of the second unit still in) he starts getting bums like Singleton easy buckets.. night and day between him and Manor
Wall has to play close to 40min for the Wizards to beat even the crappy teams.
Over the final 50 games of the 2012-13 season, the Wizards were .500. So, for the last 68 games, they are a .500 team. Many of those games were without Nene and Bradley Beal. Only one of those games, the first one, was without Wall. Every single one of those games had Wittman at the helm. The coach, not one to rain praise on himself, acknowledged after the game that the mental toughness of this team has "come a long way."
I don't know whether to be happy or to SMH about thisAnd Washington is currently the third seed in the East![]()

Also...Wall is right on the cusp of 20, 10, 5 a game.
He is EXACTLY what we thought he would be.
Someone on BF pointed something interesting out...Our starting lineup is good enough that they don't need Wall to shoot well to win games. Wall was something like 4-15 last night...however, he played the point about as well as you could imagine. Dude was so smooth out there.
FixedWe really need Maynor to developchemistry with the bench unitamnesia and forget his way to the Verizon Center
Edited footage of an unguarded player isn't very impressive. You could probably put together a 30 second sizzle reel of Bennett in his driveway that would rival this.Looks better than Anthony Bennett, that's for sure![]()
Waiving Kendall Marshall and Shannon Brown is certainly coming back to haunt us, considering our two biggest depth issues are: 1) backup point guard and 2) bench scoring.

The only thing this video actually established is that Porter has a better handle than Ariza, since he doesn't dribble with his wrists and knuckles.
Shelvin Mack or AJ Price would be significantly better options. Heck even Nate Wolters (who we traded for GR Jr) is playing really well right now for the Bucks as a 2nd round pick. The worst thing about this is that Maynor has a PLAYER option for next season. We have to deal with this garbage for another year unless someone else is brought in.I wonder if there are advanced stats on Maynor, he is historically bad

This is a major problem. What sucks is Shelvin Mack is playing decent b-ball, and we could have had better production from the bench had we held on to AJ Price. Maynor is in the NBA for a reason, but he looks no better than a star rec player out there. I don't know how much roster flexibility there is, but I'd be searching the NBDL for another PG.
What can you say about Ariza? Dude is going to get PAID this offseason. He's ballin' out of his mind. I like having him in the starting lineup w/ Martell. So much size, athleticism, and shooting ability. Beal can't get back soon enough, but having to figure out who starts between those 3 is a great problem to have. Obviously, Beal gets his SG spot back, but you can't go wrong with either Martell or Ariza as the starting SF.
Otto Porter and Garrett Temple look like the same person
.500 for the first time in the Wall era...
MAAAAAN, it's been a LONG time coming. Feels great, but there is a long way to go.
3rd in the East, too?
Optimism....LEGIT optimism as a Wizards fan? What? What bizarro world am I living in?
*edit*
11 games total in December. If I were Wittman, I would hold Nene out of ALL practices (just have him on the bike) and rest him up for games. For the rest of the starters, he needs to go real easy on them this month in practice. Get that 2nd unit as much practice time as they can get. This is a prime opportunity to rest everyone up who is logging heavy minutes in the rotation.
