Still have a chance to win this one. Hopefully the Wiz can pull it together.

Forget them. If Wall just plays like Wall then we could be winning now

Beal would have a field day if he was playing. They clog the paint and give up a ton of jumpshots.

Yep, and Gortat also played HIbbert well one-on-one early. That and Webster's hustle have really been the bright spots.

Ill say it again. Ive seen Arenas have games where he had 0 or 2 at the half and explode for 20 in the 2nd half. Wall doesnt have to get 20 but he just has to play great. If he does that then we will be in it

Bench came through in the first half, and the Wizards playing some quality defense. Not getting many of those 50/50 balls unfortunately, and a few of those careless turnovers have hurt.

Unfortunately West is a mismatch with whomever he's matched up with. Wouldn't be surprised to see the Pacers attempting to exploit that mismatch in the second half.

The starters need to find their shooting stroke or this is going to get ugly quick.

Nene is beyond frustrating

Could Booker T be that much needed big off the bench?
I think he's been a really pleasant surprise, just needs some minutes.

Watching John repeatedly refuse to make an effort to shoot in end of quarter situations is infuriating

Hello all, anyone got a link? I'm out of town this weekend.

He's actually handing the ball to the ref before time expires, ever think about trying to draw a foul John? The fact that the coaching staff allows this to continue is just mind blowing.

Has Booker done much at all this year? I think Roy (GTown) would eat Booker up and spit him out. However, he's good for fouls>

Unreal. Big baby is his nickname no? Earned.

This might be the best game I've ever seen Vesely play. I'm very impressed with the way he is battling out there.

He always gets abused by opposing power forwards, but he is the only quality big on the bench at the moment. Interestingly enough,I'm listening to the Pacers broadcast and both they and the Bucks announcers had very positive things to say about Seraphin. Somehow he leaves a very positive impression around the league despite being complete garbage.

Absolutely, it pisses me off, too. If he doesn't want to do it let's try with someone else.

Yep, Booker was leaving Scola open repeatedly so he could be in he paint. HIbbert wasn't even in the game at the time. It was EFJ-esque, "protect the paint". Not sure what that was about, but he's not really helping IMO. But Indy is so big they can't really play Ariza at PF.

Hope Wall takes it to the rack more 2nd half

He used to do it all the time.. I think he's been more mindful of his fg% lately
