Over the past eight games, Steven Adams is averaging 8.0 points, 8.2 rebounds and 3.2 blocks per 36 minutes.

Kid doesn't even know how to play yet. Can't wait to see the growth he will show next season.

and 17 fouls

and 17 fouls

He definitely needs to learn how to play but he knows that his minutes are going to be what they are so why not use your fouls?

Would you rather send Blake/Jordan to the line or let them get an uncontested shot?

I don't believe in goons. Would rather have guys that play basketball

Fouls are there for a reason. Its in the rules and therefore are a part of strategy.

You need tough big men in the league so its not an all out assault at the rim. Thats good defense.

For all those who say the NBA is rigged I want to ask...

Who is the mastermind of the scheme?

How many people know about it?

Honestly, it's hard to explain i wouldnt say the entire league is rigged but there are certain calls that really make you wonder if it is rigged.

Late in the games that favor certain teams.

Among other things.

 

[Heyward]

Nevermind.

Wiz need to just embrace small ball in the future. They are horrible in the halfcourt becaues their bigs are hurting them by clogging the lane.

 

[thethe]

Where is the outrage against the NBA for calling that horrible foul on Hibbert? ITS RIGGED!

 

[thethe]

Entertaining basketball game right now. Wiz don't want to go home just yet.

Here come the Pacers calls. Refs didn't know who it was off despite clearly Wizaeds ball.......

LOL, one call in a whole game. Do you think its easy to ref a game that is so fast paced without the aide of instant replay?

 

[gilesfan]

Lol. Pacers ball again.

 

[gilesfan]

And there's a charge on a moving George

Wall hacked on a drive

 

[gilesfan]

Lol. Not even sure on that offensive foul

 

[thethe]

Lol. Not even sure on that offensive foul

Which one?

 

[gilesfan]

So what did I say about driving in the lane and Hibbert?

 

[thethe]

Looking for a bailout from the refs? Wall was completely out of control. If the Wiz lose tonight its because they can't hit a shot for the life of them.

 

[thethe]

Good experience for Wall/Beal. They will get better from this. Good time to be a Wizards fan.

Can't wait to see what Adams is going to be in two years. I think he averages a double/double.

11 of 482 players averaged a double double this year. 7 of them centers. Basically you're saying you're 100% sure he'll be a top 10 center in the NBA.
