Hmm, I Guess Maybe The Wizards Are Good Or Whatever

The Wizards and Celtics play tonight, and it’ll be their third meeting this season.

Like The Rest Of Us, John Wall Wants Nothing To Do With Wizards Games [Update]
This afternoon, John Wall caught a $25,000 fine after he was ejected for bumping into an official on Monday night.

John Wall Ejected After Bumping Official
The Wizards are 1-5 after a 114-106 loss to the Rockets, and Bradley Beal, when asked what the problem is, said it’s “just heart.” So everything’s great in Wizardland! At least John Wall didn’t have to stick around to the bitter end of this one....

Great! It’s great when sports teammates loathe each...
John Wall, Goddamn
The Wizards lost a close one at home tonight to the Indiana Pacers. The end of the game was bad and dumb and full of nothing but free throws, but John Wall went and hit one of the wackiest circus shots of the season late in the game to keep the Wiz boys in it....
John Wall Has A Ridiculous Handle At Hyperspeed
Once upon a time, the knock on John Wall was that he could only move at one speed: hyperspeed. He still might be the fastest player in the NBA, but a big part of his maturation into an All-Star was learning how to remain under control, while still moving faster than everybody else on the court. Toni...

Kyrie Irving is sl...

John Calipari To Colin Cowherd: "You Gotta Stop On John Wall"

John Wall Hurtles Five Rows Deep To Save Loose Ball
John Wall is probably the fastest player in the NBA. Usually he uses this speed to terrify defenses and make opponents look like fools as he stops on a dime for a pull-up jumper, but tonight it was paying customers that saw him flying towards them. Good hustle John, but be careful out there. ...
Boogie Cousins And John Wall Put On A Show; Some Team Also Won I Guess
A point guard and a center generally can't duel in the way we usually think of players dueling—directly, one-on-one, attacking each other at both ends.
