It's funny thinking that now they have to come back to DC to try and steal one at home to regain home court disadvantage.

Too funny. I'm torn about going to the game on Thursday. I want to go, but I have no confidence in this team playing at home and really don't want to see the Pacers celebrating on our court in person.

Wall had a rough first quarter with too many turnovers, but man did he get his sh** together. Hopefully, he can take tonight and use that as confidence going home. We need Nene to show up on Thursday, and Beal and Gortat to play well again. It would also be nice to have a Webster sighting some time. Ariza will do his thing.

Win or lose Thursday, at least we made this series somewhat respectable and Wall didn't go out without a single "great" game.

Our best game this playoffs besides today is when nene was suspended. Nene on bench seems to open things up

I am still stunned. Very encouraging to see Wall finally get his act together under the gun.

This series has reminded me why i don't bet on games.

"The Pacers have a bit more respect from the referees"

-Gortat

Lolllllllllllllllllll, I'm so glad he just said that in the press conference. It wasn't that bad in context so hopefully he doesn't get fined.

No matter how this series ends, I will appreciate the hell out of this effort and the fact that the Wiz didn't fold up after things got rough. Let's get a W on Thursday and see what happens.

I actually feel pretty good about Game 6. I mean, law of large numbers, ratios, whatever you wanna call it, you can't have THIS many bad games at home in the playoffs. 4 home games this playoffs and we lost 3 of them. Terrible. We gotta get a good game again at home at some point and I think (really it has to be lol) it's Game 6. We got close Game 4 and I think we're just due.

If you think about, if it wasn't for a flurry of ridiculous shots by Hill and Copeland in game one, the Pacers have really only once scored over 90 points. Even game in game four it took PG taking every crap shot that he took to get them to 95. That's are Mendoza line, we need to get to 90 first and be up 5 or 6.

Yeah, we saved ourselves from embarrassment, just bowing out in 5 (especially after all the blown leads) would have made everyone say "Meh, same old Wizards"

People will remember that we went 6+ games with the #1 seed in the semifinals and gave 'em hell.

Completely agree- can take some pride in getting this far with our young team then go into the off season and attempt to re-sign our starting 5- Because I don't see a ton of legit improvements in the free agent market to our starters-

We've lead at halftime every game to this series, it all comes down to how we play in the 3rd. They had outscored us every third quarter before tonight and by an average on 10 points. Game 3 and 4 we were just awful. I guess they sneak out to Clyde's for halftime when their at home.

Get the tickets, bobbyD. We need to pack the house on Thursday. Like you, I'm scared as hell that we'll lose another game at home on Thursday. But, as soon as I was certain that we had Game 5, I sucked it up and went online and bought tickets for the wife and I to Game 6 at the phone booth. Go Zards!

What in the hell is going on around here?!?

queridiculo · Post #417 » by **queridiculo** » Wed May 14, 2014 3:07 am

We got this.

As long as I don't post in the game thread, we'll win game 6.

I lost it for us when I started posting in the game 4 thread. A mistake I won't make again.

queridiculo · Post #418 » by **queridiculo** » Wed May 14, 2014 3:13 am

Btw, I've never even heard of a team being out rebounded by 39.

I already have the tickets (I'm a season ticket holder). Just didn't know if I wanted to go or sell them. I could probably make a pretty penny by selling them (I couldn't make the last game and sold my seats for $500 per seat) but I'm like you...I think I have to go...it could be the last home game of the season.
