Wally Season High in Win Over 76ers

Tonight was just, completely ferocious.

Lebron James scored 27 points in his double-double (10 assists, 2 rebounds) while driving in and hitting ridiculous jump shots. But, today, the former all-star showed what he was made of.

If you read my blog like so many people do, I last updated showing Wally dunking it hard as the commentator went "that's what's gonna happen! Wally Szczerbiak, resurrected!!!. If not, scroll down a little and watch as I PREDICTED that Wally was going to come out and just whoop these guys.

In another important game, Wally Szczerbiak played 25 minutes (compared to what he used to play, this isn't much) scoring 18 Points on 6 of 7 shooting. It was truly Wally's World as he was 4-4 from 3-point land and 3-7 with his two-point field goals. Wally also grabbed 2 offensive and 1 defensive rebound, a standard for the veteran, and dished out 2 assists to make sure he wasn't ball-hogging.

Walter (AKA "Wally") came out and immediately started draining shots like we all know he can. He hit two 3-point field goals and 2 2-point field goals by the end of the 2nd quarter, giving him 10. He was interviewed at half-time and the experienced basketball player went through the interview nicely as he has done many times back when he used to average 20 points a game.

Late 3rd quarter and Wally came in a little earlier than his normal rotation considering Mike Brown finally recognized that Wally deserved the minutes more than Gibson (who was 2-5 and managed 4 personal fouls in only 8 minutes). Szczerbiak continued to hit his shots as he was assisted by Lebron James and Mo Williams to hit 2 more 3-pointers and go to the free throw line to swish 2 shots (he IS an 85% free throw shooter).

Seriously, whoever says Wally isn't the best bench player is dumb. If he played good defense consistently (he plays good defense if he hits his shots-- just watch him drain and he'll go play more defense in hopes he can go ball' it up on the other side of the court) he would probably start over Delonte West. Not to mention this is his 5th or so game where he's gotten 15+ points, which is the most times for any bench player if my stats are right; heck, it's also more than Ben Wallace (not that Ben is a very offensive player).

With everything all done and said, Wally is amazing and you guys all know it. Tomorrow I'm going to challenge anybody who wants to challenge me to a shoot off and represent Wally as a pure shooter.
