Massive game, expecting the worse (specially in a b2b after 3 OTs), hoping for the best... If they somehow pull this off, I'll believe again!

I think we turned the corner with yesterday's win. We usually give up vs teams like the Bucks who have ultra athletes. The team didnt quit and showed heart coming back time and time again. Losing last night would have meant the end of the season but winning a game like that goes a long way in building confidence.

With the playoffs in clear sight, I expect a sense of urgency from tip off. We match up well vs Indy who also played last night. This should feel like a playoff game.

I think this game ALL depends on a few key players; namely (and this is painful to think) DWill. He played VERY little last game, we need him to come out and have a strong outing as he'll be MUCH more rested than JJack... I wouldn't be amazed to see Dwill play 38 minutes tonight.

Plumlee as well had a hard time getting into a rhythm last night and with Brook playing big minutes and a big part, we need Plumlee to do what he does best.

Bogs has really come into his own and he's proven to be one of our best off the bench players, we need him to sustain his efforts and keep scoring off the bench.

Brown got into foul trouble early and we need his defense to win this game

Lastly we need Thad to keep being aggressive, he is our best choice at PF for this game and he needs to sustain his efforts from last night.

Overall this game is an easy lose type of game. If these guys don't put together something than its an easy blow out. We will not be able to count on Joe (gets tired easily and becomes useless), Jack, and Brook. Thad might not even be able to sustain his energy so we might have to see CJ for 20 minutes which isn't always bad thing... but can go either way as a positive or a negative.

This is a hard game to predict, but all we can hope is what we saw last night was not just a blip but a sign that they see how close we are to either making or missing the playoffs.

I'm not getting my hopes up. These guys have faced games like this before and the usual suspects didn't even bother to show up.

DogWill didn't play a lot last night because he was horrible.

Obviously, I'm just saying we need him if we're gunna win... JJack will not be able to play much or impact much.

We need atleast a 18/8 from DWill

If we need that from D-Will in order to win, our chances are quite slim.

Damn, this is in Indy? I don't see the team winning this one since it's B2B and the team traveled over night after having played a 3OT game hours earlier. The Pacers suck too, but I see them winning this one rather easily.

Good start for D-Will, but again the defense is sucking hard. They're getting and jumpshot they want.

Without KG, our team defense which wasn't anything special has become downright dreadful.
