    Oh yeah, he certainly needs to gain some muscle. Muscle still doesn't teach you to box out though. It helps, but he's got to learn to be in better position, but man his upside is good!

    let’s hope we can come out and crush them .

    You appreciate James Harden more when you see Mach 1 players like John Wall struggle in isolation..

    I have no idea why Wall doesn't spam Wood PnR's..

    I like that we have some good individual defenders in Tate, Nwaba, Wall, etc. Right now it's just rotations, and I'm hoping that's from a lack of practice.

    Now rebounding, that's an entirely different issue. Just have to box out, and when Wood is your 5, then it becomes a TEAM rebuilding game. Wood isn't strong enough to just snatch every rebound. He needs everyone down there boxing out.

    Wall looks amazing and way better than Russ did without having to play gimmick ball to get the best out of him.

    Not always a good thing. Sometimes you just want him to stay locked in his hotel room.

    Wall is making me a convert. I like what i see from him. Looks good on both ends of the floor. His game looks more purposeful than Westbrook, who played like a bull in a china shop.

    Hornacek needs to grow a stache. That’s too much upper lip for my tastes.

    We are playing well, is just that the Kings are playing well too. They got some real shooters and are a very good rebounding team. This is gonna probably end up really close...lets hope we step up our defense at the end and win this game
