Tied for 1st with Cavs and Warriors for most wins at home.

He made a nice turnover with a minute left

Wall was clutch. He's definitely been better at closing out games this season. Sometimes he'd try to play hero ball more in the past (and he still does some days), but he's much smarter with the ball to close-out, generally speaking.

Porter was on fire too. In addition to raining 3's, he had a clutch rebound/tip to force them into a fouling situation.

I'm not gonna lie, I am impressed with how well they've played the last month and a half. They look like a legit 3-4 Seed in the East. Especially at home.

Porter and Beal both took huge steps this season.

And yeah Wall has been clutch as fuck this season. He is playing at an MVP level. He won't win due to Westbrook and Harden having video game numbers but it is refreshing seeing Wall start to hit that superstar ceiling.

That offensive playcalling to end the game was awful. Reminded me of the Randy Wittman years where Wall or Beal would just dribble for 20 seconds and then rush a shot. Glad we didn't choke...

honestly wall should be in the MVP discussion

23.1ppg/10.3apg/ leads league in steals, shooting the best in his career

its pretty funny that a guy who is avging almost half his assists, less than 1 point more than him, almost half his steals, lower rebounds, plays less defense, lower PER, lower FG% won the starting spot in the ASG over him.

shows how dumb most fans are

I couldn't have said it better myself.

Wall is very under appreciated in this league.

12-4 in last 16

feelsgood

thought this team was headed straight for the lottery early in season

shouldn't have doubted wall's leadership, and couldn't have predicted Beal would stay healthy

probably your front office after they spent their #3 pick on him roflrofl

i remember the draft day analysis --> he was supposed to be this good like 2 years ago, i remember them saying "he's a safe pick, but not the most potential, bc he is the most polished player in the lottery" or someshit along those lines

welp only took him 4 seasons to pan out roflrolf

Can't complain. Grunfeld wanted Anthony Bennett more than anyone, but thank god for the Cavs being gifted one of many 1st overall picks and fucking it up.
