That’s what he was supposed to do. Wall wanted to jump into him to get the foul. Wall didn’t let him, thus the double pump 3. If they wanted an open 3, they would have setup a screen to come off.
no, he was not supposed to let Wall get in between him and the basket
He was trying to not foul, and Wall stupidly looked for the contact instead of the basket. It was the right play by Zo.
Most rooks would’ve been baited into fouling right there
John Wall sleep walked in the 1st half, and paid for it... _________________ "Now, if life is coffee, then the jobs, money & position in society are the cups.

Really fun game to watch. I thought was our best defensive performance as a team in a very long time. Lonzo couldn’t shoot but still distributed very well and played good D on Wall for the most part I thought. Randle was a beast in the 4th, I wonder if he does really belong on the bench. He is so much more effective when he is playing against fatigued players, I know that sounds dumb...but his energy translates a lot better deeper in the game.
ugliest win in a long while... like we won because Wiz couldn't really make any shots... lol
but we'll take it!!!
Nah Phoenix win was uglier. This one we at least came back. And we came back against New Orleans too. This time we finished it off. It should sherve as a morale boost.

Fouling before the shot was the right play. He would only get2 FTs. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023.

Nice defense by Lonzo tonight...much better than I had hoped for. The Wizard announcers complimented him for bodying up and forcing some tough shots a couple of times during the game
Few more of these performances, and I think we should put Randle back in the start
You realize that Randle was playing Center there, right? You're gonna start him in front of Lopez?
and Nance shot 8-10, 18pts and 10boards, not to mention being a monster on D at the PF for most of the game
So, who would you start Randle in front of?
Our starting 5 is working pretty good right now - probably best to leave it the same _________________ LBJ + AD = More rings

Would it be that crazy to start Julius instead of Lopez??
If the matchup is right, yeah. I'd rather give Ball in a better position with crazy tempo so he can get some easier shots. Its torture watching Ball leashed to slow halfcourt type players.

They could intentionally miss the 2nd one and you could end up losing the game. I don't like that strategy. No foul means tied game in worst case scenario. _________________ Showtime 2.0
