John Wall's dunk was NOT cool

At the end of the day, 2pts is what matters. Lucas was backing off, so it’s a judgment call at that point whether it’d be better to take it himself or if he thought Young would have a better play on it. Since he ended up with an essentially uncontested dunk, it seems he made a good call.

However, there’s absolutely no excuse for Young sulking on that play. Your team just scored two points and your teammate just made an exciting play. Turning your back and sulking like he did is disgraceful (or at minimum, a clear declaration to Wall that “I don’t like you”). I actually rewound to watch the dunk, then rewound again to watch Young’s incredibly selfish response.

score is a score

Bugged the hell out of me and he seems to be looking for those lobs, in general, less this year. It’s like he just decided that every break, no matter what, is his. It is slightly troubling.

I agree but last year he was put in position to lob more it seems like mcgee was in poisition to recieve lobs more now he’s at the freethrow line

maurice cheeks would be great for us. he can help our best player wall and preach defense plus they need to play more uptempo to play to wall’s strength dont you agree

for some of you guys to find another team to root for, since you clearly hate everyone on the Wizards.

because it was a statement dunk. He’s frustrated with losing and his team hasn’t been helping him very much this season and so, #$%& ’em.

Those are the expectations for our star player’s attitude? "My team hasn’t been helping me very much this season an so, #$%& ’em?!? Sounds like that will help us to a lot of wins, and help Wall develop some really great habits for future, more relevant seasons.

Wall is just pressing too much he’ll get it right starting on friday and saturday

Just has to slow down wall if he slows down and make open shots he easily has 22 ppg just need some shooters around him to space around so more then he will be fine our superstar in waiting is fine

but things were happening fast. i’d let that one go.

If missed that then yes be should complain but he made it, i really don’t see anything wrong with that.

I didn’t have a problem with the dunk at all – it was easily the highest percentage shot out of all the options. I’m with MR on this one. I’m not exactly sure why we’re nitpicking an “and 1” play especially considering that John is struggling just as bad as Nick. What I DID have a problem with was the staredown he pulled right after the dunk. As if he didn’t learn from the Stiemsma posterizing that earned him a T.

And Ricky Rubio echoed just a few days ago – the PG should be looking to make two people happy, not one (i.e. get the assist and get teammates involved, not only to get his own buckets).

It’s a mindset that some of us are obviously looking for from John and that some of us obviously don’t give two hoots about.

For me, the right play is to give the ball up and get the other guy involved. And there really shouldn’t be any two ways about it when it comes to your “pass-first point guard”.

Nick Young made an equally selfish play early in the game. When Young was on the break he had Mcgee wide open under the basket and an easy alley oop opportunity was passed up so young could take a 18 foot baseline fadeaway instead and he missed it. At leas Wall made the dunk

He’s just learning the game, how can he know unless he has a teacher. Under Saunders he looks to be regressing and our wonderful owner is sitting there letting it happen. Don’t blame the student so much, what about his teacher and the Wiz University (organization).
