John Wall and Rockets perfected the NBA’s new negotiating tactic: Inaction

Find a record book, dust off the dust and you’ll see that he finished with 27 points and 13 assists that night, April 23, 2021. That was the Rockets’ 34th loss in 38. matches, more proof that they don’t have to work so hard to lose. Wall, however, couldn’t fault Wall in his near-disappointment at the Los Angeles Clippers who ended the playoffs: nervous, a little too impatient, constant with the jump. And compete. Still as competitive.
