Open thread, Game 7: Knicks at Wizards

Found January 06, 2012 on Washington Post:
PLAYERS: John Wall,  Roger Mason,  Jan Vesely
TEAMS: Orlando Magic,  Washington Wizards

John Wall is Salty Says Things Could Get Ugly With the Wizards

Via BlackSportsOnline  |  January 05, 2012
It was all good just a Dougie ago. I am still undecided if the Wizards problems are based on just being a terrible team or if John Wall isn’t the type of player who makes his teammates better. Normally great Point Guards and great Centers make their teams better immediately, not so much with the Wizards. Wall is frustrated and here is what he had to say. “It’s like everybody...

Why is John Wall struggling?

In The Sporting News, NBA columnist Sean Deveney delved into...

We may not know exactly what the 2011-2012 season has in store for the Washington Wizards, but we certainly know they aren’t going to be patient. Washington has lost its first six games of the season. They have done very little right to this point, and haven’t really come close to beating anyone. Even John Wall is averaging just under 14 points per game, which is second on the...

Believing that he would have the opportunity to compete for a starting job and help spread the floor for all-star big man Amare Stoudemire, Roger Mason Jr. took about $300,000 less — not big money by NBA standards, but enough to affect a player of his stature — to sign with New York last season. But his experience with the Knicks fell well short of his expectations and left...
