This morning Emeka Okafor and Adonis Thomas packed their bags for Dallas as Dirk Nowitzki said goodbye to his longtime home of Dallas, Texas. In a deal that sent Emeka Okafor, Adonis Thomas, and this year's picks of the Cavs and Wizards, Dirk has moved to the big W.
"This is great, I couldn't be happier. Dirk is one of the greatest Power Forwards of all time and now I'm gonna be on his team, this is unreal." John Wall said of his new teammate
"Well, obviously a guy like Dirk isn't going to come off the bench, Zeller and Marshall will move back to the bench, since I won't separate them, and Singleton will be starting SF, Beal goes down to SG, and Dirk will be manning the middle. We now have one of the most lethal offenses of all time." Head Coach Brandon Olsen commented.

JOHN WALL AND TYRUS THOMAS CONTINUE REIGN OF TERROR, WITH HELP FROM DIRK
John Wall of the Washington Wizards has tied his personal record of assists in a game with 18, the second lowest scoring game of the season for him though with 18. Tyrus "Terror" Thomas showed that he can compete with Dirk at PF, although most likely not beat him, with 14 points in the second half. The Big 4 combined for 69 points, 30 rebounds, 27 assists, 13 steals, and 8 blocks. Kendall Marshall leaves early again but not by injury, but by coaches decision.
"He told me that he wasn't feeling so good with his back and that he isn't going to try his hardest today for his own good, so I told him to sit it out, and not worry about it, there is always next game. Wall, Beal, Thomas, and Dirk are out big 4, not the not so big 4, but the big 4. ask me who is the dynamic duo, I'll answer with an I don't know. We are a team, everyone is in the rotation for a reason. We found new lineups that are gonna be used more often now, definitely, if Kendall is okay with it, he will be apart of it too. We used the lineups tonight and they worked great. The lineups were Wall, Beal, or if he wants, Marshall, then at the 2 guard is Beal or Singleton, with the 3,4,5 looking like Thomas, Zeller, Dirk." Head coach Brandon Olsen answered.
"Boom, that's all I gotta say." John Wall said proudly.
"I liked running the offense for a bit, it was exciting being able to control the game, I'm going to work on passing more so John get more rest later in the season for playoffs." Bradley Beal suggested.
"We worked fine together, with a deadly pick and roll, we can bot finish around the rim, hit midrange shots, and if we get fouled we can both knock down free throws nicely." Tyrus Thomas had to say about him and Nowitzki on the same team.
"Of course it's weird being on a team other than the Mavs, much weirder since I'm on the Wizards, a mainly youth team, it's great now because they have true veteran leadership, I'm going to work with Tyrus Thomas, Thomas Robinson, Tyler Zeller in the post all day tomorrow, until they can hit them nicely, we will be the most deadly front court the NBA has ever seen." Dirk proclaimed.

The Washington Wizards were not only on the losing side of a 106-96 game in Indiana, but they did not win a single quarter of the game. The Big 4 combined for 71 points, 28 rebounds, 17 assists, 9 steals, and 6 blocks.
"It was horrible, we weren't good and next game we have to win to get momentum back, in a division with the Heat, Magic, and Hawks, we cannot slow down at all, we need to keep up good play." John Wall revealed.
"No more sucking, we need to hustle on offense, switch man-to-zone, we need to work on boxing out too, one man(Roy Hibbert) cannot be grabbing 9 offensive boards on us." Tyrus Thomas said.
"I scored better, I shot better, and I'm hoping this means that I can contribute more to the team, hopefully leading to wins." Brad Beal added.
"The thing with these young kids is that, they see a loss, and to them it is always a problem, I think this loss was a good thing as it definitely woke us up, and now we know what we need to fix, better it happened against Indiana, rather than a team like the Heat, Bulls, Lakers, Thunder, or Spurs. I'm confident that we will learn from these mistakes." Dirk Nowitzki shined on the press.
Skip Bayless had the few of calling the game of the Washington Wizards against the Houston Rockets "One of the most exciting games of the year." This game truly was fantastic as it was back and forth the entire game, the largest lead of the game was 6. This game also proved that without the Big 4, Washington would not be a playoff team, but a late lottery team as the defensive efforts of the bench was great in stopping the Rockets from running away with the game while John Wall was in foul trouble. The Big 4 combined for 102 points, 28 rebounds, 16 assists, 9 steals, and only 1 block.
"Wow, that game was such a rush. that was the most exciting I've played in since the 2011 finals. This team proved tonight that we deserve to run it with the best, bouncing off of a loss with an immediate win the next night after travel. I love how this team is working out, and I see a lot of progression. I see enough progression that we might ditch the pick and roll soon enough, that system is the training wheels." Dirk Nowitzki said with high praise.
"We just won and you're asking me about what I think of Dirk talking about the pick and roll system being training wheels? Whatever Dirk has to say, I back him up completely, the same goes for any of my teammates." John Wall proclaimed.
"I played nicely scoring and defensive, rebounding I just couldnt pull down the boards. I'm working on that these two days off though." Tyrus Thomas said.
"I never got a chance to play with Chandler Parsons since he got drafted the year before I went to Florida, it felt great playing against him. I know down in Gainesville we turned a lot of heads." Bradley Beal suggested.
45 bench points, an eruption of points, and defense off of the bench. Will Barton and Thomas Robinson seem to be the new stars of the bench while both Kendall Marshall and Tyler Zeller nurse twisted ankles. The Big 4 combined for 59 points, 25 rebounds, 18 assists, 8 steals, and 7 blocks. The two bench stars of the game combined for 28 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, and 5 blocks, on combined 14-24 shooting. Rookies Will Barton and Thomas Robinson hooked up plenty on passes. All 3 of Robinson's assists were to Will Barton.
"It was great, the starters got plenty of rest, that's what matters. I know it's early but it's a long season, any coach will tell you, if you have the chance, rest the starters. I'm happy that Will Barton got called up from d-league when Biyombo went down." Head Coach Brandon Olsen said.
"It was a good game, I'm hoping that next game is better, we played great, but how phenomenal would it be won by more next time?" John Wall wondered.
"The big men were in the zone today, we had 55 points in the paint, great there." Tyrus Thomas said.
"I'm staying consistent and I'm working hard still." Bradley Beal mentioned.
"It was a good game, I didn't score a lot, neither did Tyrus, but that's because we didn't shoot, because we didn't need too. These two days, we're going back to work on the post game." Dirk Nowitzki mentioned.

The Washington Wizards bench has put together back-to-back 45 point games with a 46 point game against the New York Knicks, the Wizards had to go up against one of the most experienced frontcourts in the NBA in Tyson Chandler and Amare Stoudemire. The Washington fans came into the Verizon Center expecting a game of jumpshots but the Wizards had other plans by scoring 64 points in the paint. The Big 4 combined for 57 points, 19 rebounds, 17 assists, 7 steals, and 3 blocks. This was a rather uneventful game for the Big 4, who all sat out the entire second half except for crunch time and Beal and Singleton played in the early third quarter.
"The bench had yet another terrific game and I'm considering starting the bench for the next game against the 2-9 Toronto Raptors." Head Coach Brandon Olsen mentioned.
"I wouldn't mind sitting on the bench one game, as long as we win, I'm willing to do whatever it takes." John Wall said.
"I like how the coach lets everyone in on the gameplan, and everyone's winning mentality, it boosts our confidence knowing that he can say the whole strategy but nobody could stop it." Dirk Nowitzki bragged.
"We played great, the bench played great, it was the best team game possible." Tyrus Thomas commented.
"I loved the game, it was a great team effort, everyone had to chip in or it would've been a loss, I'm hoping we can ride this momentum now,especially since we don't face a team with a winning record in a week and a half, I'm lucky." Bradley Beal preached.
The Washington Wizards dream season was given a rude awakening with a loss to the last place Toronto Raptors, in a 150-140 double overtime loss. The main reasons were bad shooting, bad passing, bad defense, and foul trouble. John Wall had fouled out in the first OT, Kendall Marshall and Tyrus Thomas had 5 fouls, Nowitzki, Zeller, Beal and Singleton all had four. Coach Brandon Olsen's snide comment after the Knicks game saying " I might have to rest the starters against the Raptors"(even though the starters did start) lit a fire under the Raptors...arses.
"We sucked, we didn't win. I don't feel I need to say more."Tyrus Thomas sadly revealed.
"What was up with the "twitter war"? They talked smack about us, that's a no-no, had I not fouled out we would've won. I guarantee we blow them out next game." John Wall predicted
"I have John's back, no matter what he says, I've said it before, and I'll say it again, being in Washington would mean the world to me, that's exactly what it means to me. The world." Brad Beal stated.
"It was horrible, I shot badly, I didn't grab boards, i wasn't physical enough, I had an off day, this team doesn't need one player to win, we need the whole team. I'm looking forward to next game. I haven't had a 30 point game yet, I'm gonna save it for Toronto next time." Dirk Nowitzki said.
