The Washington Wizards Thread.

[CKR13]

Wizards lead already by 30 against the Miami HEAT and the 2nd quarter is still young. Wall and Beal are off to a good first half while Trevor Booker in 10 minutes, has 10 points and a number of rebounds.

First quarter, HEAT really felt the Wizards' advantage of height and heft.

When USA Basketball announced their training roster, Wall was a glaring omission; because of the depth at point guard that has Chris Paul, Deron Williams and Derrick Rose. Teammate Brad Beal was on the roster. Wall has been on the 2012 Team USA select and last year's Vegas showcase.

Wall: "Team USA snub will motivate me"

[CKR13]

John Wall looked motivated tonight. Go ahead trey as the Wizards upset the Golden State Warriors. Also, Brad Beal showed that he can step up against premiere teams.

Also this chase down swat against Stephen Curry.

Just as Nene Hilario was having a good season, a knee injury will set him back for six weeks. This has to dent Washington's playoff push. Kevin Seraphin and Trevor Booker should share the burden.

Marcin Gortat wants some scuffling allowed in the NBA:

I would say I would loosen up a little bit the rules about the fighting fines. That’s what I would loosen up. Because today you go to an ice hockey game, and the one thing they’re waiting for is a fight, you know what I’m saying? So if they could set it up something like that in the NBA. That if there are two guys and they have a problem, if they could just separate everybody. And these two people that have problem, if they could fight …

During the game. Quick, 15-20 seconds, throw few punches, then referees jump in and break this thing up. I think the game … these two guys, they resolved their problem. They’re both suspended and they’re leaving. But end of the day, they fix the problem between each other, fans are super excited, and I think that would be a pretty cool idea

No fair though, Gortat is into boxing.

Wonder if Porter Jr plays at the 2 while Beal is injured. You can't not play a lottery pick from a year ago the way they have. He needs his minutes.

Bradley Beal will miss games due to a leg stress fracture.
