Destino Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 8 hours ago, TheItalianStallion said: I didn't realize just how well porter has been shooting from 3. I guess the John Wall effect is still there. He got the same looks and clanked out too many. He was a good shooter in college and most were waiting for his NBA three range to show up. It looks like he's finally found it. Otto has been putting in work. Speaking of Wall. Anyone notice his signature moves are absent? I haven't seen a 360 layup attempt nor his thing where he switches the ball to his right hand by going around the back on a drive. Haven't seen much of that fake pass with the right hand where he puts back spin on it making it come back to him. Most of his fancy pants moves this season have been quick stops to create space for a pull up. His go to drive fake has been an in and out dribble with his left.

Skin'emAlive Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Teams are defending wall more on his weak side to defend that behind the back play. Also wall is trying to draw contact for easy and-1's now. The behind the back move generally avoids contact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 That give and go Porter and John ran at 2:41 was a thing of beauty. John had a great floor game last night. I loved the way he found all of the hot hands and got Otto, Keef, and Beal involved in the game by turns. It made the difference and they won in spite of the bench's total unreliability. This was really a must win game and I understand why Scott had to play the starters the whole second half. It's frustrating that there are basically no solutions to the fact that Oubre is the only good player on the bench and Mahinmi's return is nowhere in sight. Brooks and the starters are holding up their end. None of Ernie's offseason acquisitions worked. This season would have been a total loss if Wall, Beal, and Porter hadn't all taken big steps forward.

BRAVEONAWARPATH Posted December 27, 2016 Author Share Posted December 27, 2016 http://sports.yahoo.com/news/otto-porter-went-off-on-the-bucks-and-the-wizards-might-have-something-here-044544565.html Otto Porter went off on the Bucks, and the Wizards might have something here On the other end, he showcased the array of skills — the savvy off-ball cutting, the confident catch-and-shoot stroke, the floor-spacing 3-point marksmanship, the improving ability to attack off the bounce and finish through contact — that have made him one of the season’s leading contenders for Most Improved Player honors. He’s averaging career bests virtually across the board and has been exceptionally efficient in the opportunities he gets to contribute offensively alongside high-volume creators Wall and Beal. That’s been especially true of late; Porter’s shooting a blistering 58.8 percent from the field and 49.1 percent from 3-point land in the month of December, an uptick in form that has helped the Wizards start to move into the Eastern Conference playoff picture. With Monday’s win, the Wizards are now 7-3 in their last 10 games, scoring an average of 109.4 points per 100 possessions in that span, which would rank them as the NBA’s sixth-most-potent offense over the course of the full season. The Wiz finished with 29 assists on 40 made field goals on Monday, shooting 50.6 percent from the field as a team and knocking down 12 of their 29 triple tries.

Going Commando Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Milwaukee is a solid defensive team too. They have a ton of length and energy. It was a very good offensive performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBass1724 Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Seeing the name Ian Mahinmi right now makes me so angry. That name, for me, is comparable to seeing the names Oleksiy Pecherov, Jan Vesely, and Randy Foye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBash Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 I thought Ian was gonna be a great addition. Some athleticism in the paint but it just hasn't worked out yet. Hopefully we get some production by February but I'm not holding my breath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going Commando Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Beal's step back sets up his whole floor game. That's the reason why his hesitation dribbles work so well at getting him to the rim. Jason Smith with the corner 3. Jason Smith crash the boards. Jason Smith show hard on pick and roll. Jason Smith pick up Paul George in transition and force the bricked pull up jumper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
