John Wall was simply amazing tonight. Despite his marvelous performance, the Washington Wizards were once again hindered by their head coach and lost their fourth straight game against the Indiana Paers.

Before I get to John Wall, lets just recap what happened in the closing moments of tonight’s contest.

After blowing a defensive play, the Wizards were down by 3 with just seconds remaining. John Wall hit a tough 3-point shot, tying the game up at 101. That’s where Randy Wittman crapped on Wall’s performance.

Instead of playing his best rim protector, Marcin Gortat, Wittman put Martell Webster in the game. Webster was guarding George Hill, who scored 29 points tonight. Reminder: Martell Webster is one of the worst defenders in the NBA. As someone who’s a fan of Webster, it’s a shame to see him struggle so mightily after his third back surgery. But the fact of the matter is, Webster has no business playing on an NBA court anymore.

So, Webster is guarding George Hill, who’s torched the Washington Wizards all game long. Of course, Hill blows past Webster and sinks the game-winning layup. Game over. John Wall’s performance goes to waste because of an inexcusable coaching error.

Washington blew a 10-point advantage after John Wall carried them throughout the entire game. Bradley Beal suffered another sprained ankle and missed most of the contest, forcing Wall to do virtually everything. Marcin Gortat contributed, but Wall carried the team. That’s basically what occurs every single game.

Wall started to knock down mid-range jumpers, attack the basket and got to the free throw line. When Wall is on fire, he’s virtually impossible to stop. He scored 34-points, but it went to waste.

During the game, I joked that the ‘Wizards’ should be renamed the ‘John Walls’. But honestly, it’s not too much of a stretch. John Wall has carried the team since he arrived to the nation’s capital. He’s never played with another NBA All-Star. In fact, for the most part, the Wizards’ roster has been sub-par since John Wall put on a Washington Wizards uniform.

To make matters worse, players like Otto Porter who were drafted to give Washington an injection of youth, aren’t playing over washed up veterans. Rasual Butler and Martell Webster should not be a part of Washington’s rotation, yet they’re playing over a former third overall pick. Let that sink in. Washington had 10 players available and Porter was their designated fouler at the end of the game. Wow.

Instead of letting John Wall do what he normally does, the Wizards continued to force the ball inside to Nene. Their 10 point lead evaporated instantly and Wall willed them back into the game. Unfortunately for Wall, his teammates aren’t good enough to close out games nor get stops late in the fourth quarter.

The Washington Wizards will not improve until a major change is made. John Wall has been absolutely fantastic and it’s honestly a shame to see his effort go to waste every night.

Washington will take on the Charlotte Hornets on Friday night.
