OK John Wall. We get it. Your good.

You can't see it right now but I came in, did the dougie and then helped my team win their first game and home opener. Oh that wasn't me? I could have sworn it was. Oh right, it was John Wall. You just moved into the number one spot in the ROY race. Now, you can do the John Wall. (Everyone who doesn't know what the John Wall is, it's a dance that Wall basically came up with. Check out the music video)



Can you do the John Wall now?

Game of the Night: Philadelphia 76ers 115 VS Washington Wizards 116

C'mon. You couldn't have guessed this by the title and by the video I posted? Well I thought it was pretty obvious. John Wall led the way for the Wizards in their first win of the season. The Wizards had fun with their home opener letting John Wall dance his way onto the floor. He came out with a lot of energy and throughout the night started piling up numbers as the game went on. He set a new career high in points (29), assists (13), and steals (9). He also set a franchise high for steals in a game. Sure it was Cartier Martin who hit the 3 to send the game into overtime and Andray Blatche who hit the game winning free throws. Without Wall tonight though, this game would have been over quickly. This is really his team now. With Gilbert out of the line-up and having an unexperienced team, it is his to do what he wants with it. Unfortunately, he is going to experience losing a lot which is new to Wall. However, things will get better John. Trust me. Just imagine how good they would be if Gilbert came back, played and returned to his old form. That would be a scary backcourt that could actually turn things around for the franchise. That however is not looking too likely. Again, Wall's number in the game were 29 points, 2 rebounds, 13 assists and 9 steals. Like I said though, watch the turnovers. Wall had 8. Blatche added 23 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist and a steal. His two free throws with 7.1 seconds left in overtime sealed the victory for the Wizards. Nick Young added 20 points off the bench.

Philadelphia, Philadelphia, Philadelphia. You got lucky this even went into overtime. Andre Iguodala, in my opinion, fouled Cartier Martin when he took the 3 that sent the game into overtime. You then missed the last shot to win the game. Ouch. Your highest scorer came from the bench in Louis Williams who had a game high 30 points. Elton Brand had a decent game being matched up against Blatche. He scored 21 points to go with 9 rebounds, 3 assists, 4 steals and a block before fouling out in the overtime period. Rookie Evan Turner added 9 point, 6 rebounds, an assist and a steal off the bench.

Minnesota Timberwolves 97 VS Miami Heat 129

So what happens when your best player goes out pretty early in the game against one of the best teams in the league? You just try to survive. Michael Beasley went down after being fouled and never returned to action for Minnesota. Unfortunate too because just before he got hurt, he threw down a huge put back slam. Beasley played ten and a half minutes and had 11 points and 2 rebounds. Rookie Wesley Johnson came in and played well in place of injured Beasley. Wesley contributed 13 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals. Kevin Love was the Timberwolves best player for the night pouring out 20 points, 6 rebounds, an assist and a block. Hopefully Beasley isn't out long. That would hurt an already struggling team.

Well look at this. LeBron James only had 1 turnover. Wow. I'm impressed. In the blowout victory, LBJ added 20 points, 12 assists, 2 steals and a huge block on Wesley Johnson. However, Dwayne Wade took the lead in having team high in points. It is now 3-2 for Wade over James. He led the Heat with 26 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist. James Jones came off the bench and added 17 points on 6-10 shooting, 5-9 from downtown. Eddie House and Udonis Haslem were the other Heat players off the bench with double digit scoring numbers.
LBJ turnover watch: 26 in 5 games
