Around SBN: Raiders' GM Begins The Purge

JOHN WALL JOHN WALL! Wizards vs. Warriors Summer League Game 1 Open Thread

In about four hours, we will finally see our man John Wall play in an NBA game.  I'll have much more live from Vegas coming up, but for now, begin talking about the game here.  The game will be televised on Comcast Sports Net at 8 p.m., with Steve Buckhantz and Phil Chenier doing the play-by-play from back in the CSN studios.  

For more on the Warriors roster, go here.

GO WIZARDS!

UPDATE: Nick Young will play in tonight's game.  He'll start alongside John Wall, Cartier Martin, Trevor Booker and JaVale McGee, according to Chris Miller. 

UPDATE: On second thought, Nick won't play tonight.  He said he's expects to play tomorrow.  Raymar Morgan will start in his place.  Also, Sam Cassell is coaching.

I think so as well. Over under 3 ally oops from Wall to McGee/Booker?

Of course, I hope that we start using the fast break more than we did last season, because our team is too athletic to confine to the half-court

Yeah, playing Javale in the halfcourt can be dangerous

Plus, I can’t imagine Gil defending shooting guards well period, but in the half court, his height problem will be a lot more obvious

They’re still forcing transition a little too hard, but settling down. All those turnovers and only down by two at the half means settling down on defense. GS has work cut out for them in the second half.

So far, I'm disappointed in Booker and intrigued by Ndiaye

Booker looks a lot smaller than I thought he would, he doesn’t seem to have those long arms people were talking about. He’s not as assertive as I thought he’d be, although I guess we can’t expect a ton from a 23rd pick.

Ndiaye has horrible timing for rebounds, but I like his energy and size. He’d have actually been an even better fit wit the TWolves, though. He needs to stay closer to the basket, too.

I like his shooting, but I can’t imagine him playing a role for us. We’ve already got three guys who are natural point guards and could start for maybe 2/3 of the league on our roster, too. He could work with a team like the Lakers, though.

It just seems that a lot of small guards seem to need to have the ball in there hands. It just looks as if the offense doesn’t move well or distribute the ball well with him on the court.

A lot of these turnovers are mental mistakes coaching will cut down on.

The staff will tape open their eyelids and make them watch OKC.

Defense..

Have to admit, this is the most defense I have seen the “Wizards” play in a long time…

by Aquamaneastfish on Jul 11, 2010 9:53 PM EDT reply actions  

Perimeter defense seems a bit suspect.

They’re getting decent separation.

Strange...if you lob a high pass to a 7'1 athletic freak, good things happen

finally we have a point guard that understands that.

Looking friggin awesome! That Morgan guy actually looks pretty good. Cartier and Booker impressed me. And of course Wall and McGee were amazing. Almost forgot we still got Arenas, Blatche, and Nick Young to look forward too! (Still dont want Hinrich)

Cant wait to beat on a Lebronless Cavaliars :) hehe

Haha so are you insinuating that the Cavalry rivalry is gone?

I quite honestly hate Big Z, Verjaoe, and West just as much as Lebron, so I am not sure that I can love the Cavs now.

Regardless it still will feel sweet to beat on them, they used to always beat on us without our super star, same scenario, different context.

by Unxpekted on Jul 11, 2010 10:03 PM EDT up reply actions  

Agree...but I see them as fairly irrelevant at this point...

…but if they play tough I am prepared to hate them again

Shows me that we could have won by 15 if we actually played good.

"However, the true greatness of the Ravens’ line lies in their malevolence, led by right end Haloti Ngata. Simply put, Ngata can’t be blocked by mere mortals. He is not a product of the human species. He is really a creation of a building contractor, made of cinderblocks and some type of flesh-like covering. Throw in Kelly Gregg at nose tackle and behemoth rookie Terrence Cody and you have something truly frightening."

No doubt

They’ll definitely try to ‘develop’ those turnovers down to 0, ugh

good.

It is the first game for these guys so I have to consider that. But overall, they did good. Good debut for John Wall. His speed causes TOs not the defender.

He just doesn’t have the gusto. Tons of talent, no confidence or eye of the tiger. Still plays like his drunk angry dad is in the stands ready to beat him after the game

 Other than the 8 turnovers I thought Wall was awesome with 24 points and 8 assists.
 JaVale played very well overall as did Cartier Martin. Morgan and Randle had some good moments out there.
 Not sure if Blake Griffin is playing for the Clippers on Monday against the Wiz but last I heard I don’t think so?

by Jeremybozz on Jul 11, 2010 10:18 PM EDT reply actions

would get abused down there with H, JaVale and Booker.
