John Wall is a Thug

I see nothing wrong here. Z got him with 2 elbows to the face. The ball was protected and Z got 2 elbows while doing so. ANY player would swing back on that. I am not saying that fighting is a part of this game but, there are very few that would let that slide without doing something back. Big Z, Wall and Howard deserve fines and suspensions which I am sure that they will get.

Yall so quick to throw out THUG on here. We all know that he is but, it just seems like you were sitting back waiting on something to happen to call out THUG.

If he shoved him it would have not been a big issue but he punches him during the game. Really a cheap shot too as Z was holding a ball and playing basketball and the guy just sticks him in the side instead of playing D.

Yeah, IDK, I think this is what it is. It's a physical game and these things happen. I understand Z playing tough and I also understand Wall getting pissed. Z is probably used to guys guarding him that are quite a bit taller where he elbows aren't in their face. These players are HUMANS, anyone gets a little pissed with an elbow to the face. If anything, good for Wall for sticking up for himself.

But LOL at anyone holding Z back, he could just run a rampage if he wanted too.

As in thug? No, stop that. Barkley got into many, many fights like this and I wouldn't call him a thug. Now Arenas, getting busted with guns in the locker room, THAT is what I call a thug.

Thug is not the case. This is just an example of not being very smart and having a huge ego. If you know how the NBA works, Wall should have just hit the ground holding his face and hoped for a foul. I do not stand for flopping but in this case he was clearly touched, unlike the whole Chris Bosh incident.

McGee and Howard getting involved is just another example of letting your emotions override your intelligence. The entire situation could have easily been avoided and I hope all 4 are fined and suspended for a period of time.

    • We could quibble about was that an answer to what I asked but I  don’t see it as being one. Look, he agreed to this Evero thing. Up front. Apparently anyway. Took the job with those conditions in place. I buy that and will work off of it.  This play calling issue isn’t the same thing. I am not in the mood to delve into Canales’ shortcomings and get out the pitchforks at the moment. I will abstain from that topic and stick to the quandary the dissenters who want to usurp his play calling power, find themselves in. As far as that goes I am still on the fence and think the play calling is Bryce centric and the play selection/playbook is affected. That does not mean I know that if the playbook was open he would be great play caller. Just that he is hampered right now.  Inserting an OC not of Canales’ approval changes the original parameters of the assumed agreement.  Unless you think Tepper placed a contractual prescription to allow Tepper to dictate that he can insert a play caller of his choosing after a time period if he is not satisfied with Canales’ work.  Which, do you really think that is in play?  I do not.    Unless it is, Canales has the option to yea or nay. As I said, it could be forced on him. But they only do that if they want him out.  And as of now his stock is up, I would have to say I don’t own any but I think it is up. He had the stadium rocking, the team in the playoffs, and has that sorry lil draft pick trending upward. Even at this very low rate.  I think he has ‘hand’ right now as they say on Seinfeld. This is something that may get play in the 2026 season, not now. IMO.     
    • Canes now have 19 losses on the year. Here is the truly alarming stat. 13 of those were multiple goal loses. 9 of those were 3 goal plus losses. This team is getting blown out more than any other year under Rod.     why?  Blue line is a total mess. It’s just no good with their combinations.  It pains me to say this, but they were mikes better with Burns and Orlov. They need Slavin so bad.  Health.  Size. The team is too small and has no physical play. Most forwards do not forecheck.  Worst under Rod.  Goalie play. Pretty average to sub par. PK is downright bad. It’s allowing a little over a goal a game. Worst under Rod.    Team will not win a playoff round under its current group of players. It’s not constructed to do so against heavy teams.      solutions.  Must get physical size by the trade deadline. Rod and Tulsky know this. That probably has to come with the 2C.  KKs size but a better scorer and meaner.  The need another physical winger.  Goalie. Either go all in on a top guy on a bad team or get average. Lastly, better defense. Need a Right shot heavy defenseman.  Yes that could mean someone’s favorite dman could sit. Looking at you Boom.    thats 3-4 new guys that must be brought in for them to have a chance at a cup.  And it’s all players that are different and better than what they have.  They have the cap. KK is gone. Add 4 mill back.    And then hope it’s jells unlike Mikko.
