Wizards fans can claim all they want that their team is better with John Wall at the helm, but I know the truth and I’m going to share it with you right now: they aren’t.
Boom. Truth bomb deployed.
I don’t need to justify this fact, because everyone watching this vid is a diehard Tomas Satoransky fan, but I will anyway. Wall hasn’t been that amazing this year. Straight up. He’s been great in past years, but he’s been injured, and it showed. He’ll likely be fine whenever he comes back, but for now, Satoransky is leading the team well and not just chucking tons of terrible shots like Wall was doing.
Tonight was another solid effort from him. 17 points missing only 1 shot, 8 assists with 0 turnovers, against a Cavaliers team that probably didn’t want a whole All-Star break messing up their newfound chemistry, that’s about as solid as solid gets without crossing into “great” territory. And that’s what the Wizards need from him. No need for more; the team is clicking, and let’s hope they can keep clicking all the way into the playoffs. If Wall messes this whole thing up, I’m officially going back to calling him a bust over and over.
