Wall was POTG


Vasquez had another good game off the bench

[Mark.]

Think you have the score around the wrong way.

Nice win, very very balanced output from your main guys. Always nice to see the Nets beaten too

[Durant35]

That game was definitely for revenge.

Argghh, I was positive I fixed the scores before I posted it.

It's interesting having Vasquez as my main scorer off the bench after going half a season using Wall as a pass-first PG.

That game was definitely for revenge.

It was good to get it so quickly too.

[Durant35]

Surprised to see Paul George scoring only 13 points.

[hova-]

That Pacers roster looks intriguing, good job taking them down.

[Mark.]

Man it is now becoming a question of who is more important to the teams success? Wall or Beal? Would be interesting to see what would happen should either go down with injury.

[Phil89]

Surprised to see Paul George scoring only 13 points.

He was probably too busy thinking how to stop Beal and DeRozan to do his own scoring.

That Pacers roster looks intriguing, good job taking them down.

I think if George and Mayo re-sign next year and they can upgrade their power forward they should be a top 4 team in the east.

Man it is now becoming a question of who is more important to the teams success? Wall or Beal? Would be interesting to see what would happen should either go down with injury.

Don't jinx them!

I'd probably say Wall is more important at the moment though as he gets everyone involved on offense. If Beal went down I think Wall could cover most of his scoring, but if Wall went down I don't think Beal would be dishing too many more assists.

[Durant35]

OKC slipping a bit. Was expecting them to go 61-21. Way to go J-Wall, going 2nd in the MVP voting.

[SuperHueyNewton]

'Course Rondo's hurt lol

Interesting that Cousins is in the MVP race.

Beal highlights


Vasquez with the circus shot

Amazing finish to this game. I was down by 12 with just under 3 minutes left and somehow got it level and had possession with 20 seconds left.

Beal did the rest.

[Phil89]

OKC slipping a bit. Was expecting them to go 61-21. Way to go J-Wall, going 2nd in the MVP voting.

At least they are on top. Durant hasn't missed half of the season with injury this year either.

Maybe If I can get Wall to average 20ppg + 15 apg he'll have a shot at beating LeBron for MVP. Maybe.

'Course Rondo's hurt lol

Maybe the Celtics should have just traded him before the deadline and started fresh. They have Jeff Teague anyway and Pierce will and Garnett probably will retire at the end of the season. Oh well. They could end up with a high lottery pick and a chance at a good prospect to put next to Rondo/Bass/Lee/Teague etc.

Interesting that Cousins is in the MVP race.

I only noticed that when I was writing the summary. I have a feeling he won't be there at the end of the season though as my rebounding sucks and he isn't scoring 20 ppg regularly.

[Mark.]

Nice win there, Beal proving he is not only a top scorer but also clutch!

[Phil89]

Nice win there, Beal proving he is not only a top scorer but also clutch!

I remember reading that the Thunder tried to get Beal when they were offering Harden around, but the Wizards rejected the offer. I can honestly say I'm glad that they did because Beal is a beast.

Maybe next season he'll get a chance in the three point contest.

[SuperHueyNewton]

Everybody came over to wave down the HOT Beal

[Lamrock]

unBEALieveable!

[Phil89]

It always makes me laugh when I pass to ball to Beal and the commentator says "Beal with it".

[hova-]

Wow, but I have to say that was maybe the worst offensive possession you could imagine. Fumbling around with Wall and instead of going 1on1 to the basket pass it to Beal who stands five feet away from the three point line and has a hand in his face ... well in the end you got the W that's all that counts.

[Phil89]

Yeah, it was pretty ugly. I saw two defenders closing the gap to the basket and decided that a contested layup by Wall probably wasn't my best chance at grabbing a winner. Then I just went for the move that I've done with Durant so many times on Live 10 and Beal came up big. Next time I'll look for a higher percentage shot I think.

Just straight beastly assists numbers by wall, inspiring to a degree

[Axel The Great]

Haven't tuned into this association much but I will start to do so more often. That's one way to take it to the first seed in the East, inspiring game by Wall. Looking at the February summary, Wall's putting up some crazy assist numbers. If he could just score a little more, I'm sure he'd be first in the MVP Candidates list.
