YOUR Washington Bullets are 46-34 WITH THEIR BEST RECORD SINCE 1979.

However, this Bullets squad has no chance to go to the NBA Finals like that squad did so many years ago. In fact, they were on a mission to defend the 1978 Title.

This is the most successful season in my lifetime and I'm 25 years old. However, with the folks at the top, I just can't seem to think its all fool's gold and they'll be embarrassed in the postseason. There's no Ariza to help our perimeter defense and the coach has failed Porter and the GM continues to fail the coach and fan base.

This next game is vs. the DESPERATE Indiana Pacers. The same team that knocked the Wiz in the 2014 NBA Playoffs might get knocked out of the 2015 NBA Playoffs Tuesday night if the Wiz actually play a good game.

Paul George is back and is playing about 15 minutes per game in his return. His shot is there but he will not land on his recovered right leg when he goes up for dunks and blocks.

George Hill as we saw in DC a couple weeks ago is leading this team and making big shots. Despite Westbrook scoring 54 points vs. the Pacers, Indiana was able to put up a 10-1 run in the final minute to win the game.

Put your money on the more desperate team, folks. Pacers got this in the bag. Indiana is tied with the Nets for 8th but the Nets have the tie breaker. Indiana has to finish above the Nets to get into the playoffs. They're also 1 game back of Boston for 7th.

OKC Thunder vs. Pacers - (W) 104-116


Lineups:











Bench:

I really want Ind to win this one. I think they will be a much bigger threat to the Hawks than the Nets with PG back in action, even if he can only play 15-20 minutes off the bench. As for our guys, I wouldn't mind seeing the starters get the night off and maybe give them 20ish minutes vs the Cavs as there is nothing to play for at this point.

Because this is a national TV game on TNT so I wonder if that plays into the decision whether the Wizards choose to play their starters or not.

As a fan I want Indy in

I'm sure the Wiz know they can play spoiler to the team that eliminated them last year though so expect them to go hard

We probably one last tune up before the playoffs. This game is essentially a playoff game and could prove valuable for the playoff rotation to play in full.

That being said, because I want the Pacers to move up to the 7th spot, I kinda will be rooting for them to hit an absurd buzzer beater after a good Wall/Beal/Porter game.

Wittman will rest the starters and the poor job Ernie did building this team will manifest itself in an ugly loss.

Expect this team to score in the high 60s to low 70s.

A good time will be had by all.

I want revenge for last year. That means knocking them out from playoff contention.

The playoffs need Paul George. The 4th seed is so far away at this point. Just take it easy this game. Don't give Wall/Beal anymore than 25 minutes. Keep focusing on tuning.

I disagree with you guys. First off I'm rooting hard for Chicago tonight and Boston tomorrow. I'll take the Bulls but I want the Raps.

2nd, I won't be upset if we rest our starters but I think they should play. Wall needs to play more than one game in two weeks before the playoffs start. Also, you always want revenge on the team who eliminated you. We won't get to see Indy in the playoffs but how great would it be to knock them out in their house.

Also that is the perfect tuneup for the playoffs. We've been playing well but Memphis is still the only good team we've beaten. This will be a playoff atmosphere on the road, on TNT. Great

...by all Pacers fans.

As a fan, I would hope to see our players show the competitive fire to get revenge from last year. I think Wall/Beal said something to that effect.. it's a good sign

The funny thing is that there is only basically 1 day left in the season (since there are only 3 games tomorrow) and there is not 1 playoff match set and there hasnt been 1 disrespectful thing happen yet. By disrespectful, I mean tanking a playoff spot. I believe we may see the ultimate disrespect tomorrow. The Raps have been ballin but I wouldnt be shocked at all to see them rest all there guys tomorrow just so they can avoid the Cavs until the ECF. They think we are harder to beat than the Bucks but they have still owned us and have played well against the Hawks. I wouldnt be shocked at all to see them tank and I would love for them to give us that motivation

You gotta separate cocky fans on message boards from the actual Raptors team.

There's no way the actual Raptors team/coaching staff would rather play the experienced Wizards over the untested Bucks in a 7-game series. And if they tanked to face the Wiz and lost, those involved in that decision would see their heads on the chopping block

As a Nets fan hanging onto any hope left... Please win! I'll be watching gleefully hoping you guys pull a solid win. I expect (more like REALLY REALLY HOPE) you guys go Playoff mode and lock **** down as you gear up for the postseason.

Please?

Don't count on our team. When I thought we are back on track we were demolished by Nets...

Wittman will be outcoach again, and if Wall won't play it is easy Indy win.

I think in PO should be Indy and Nets instead of Boston. They both are Better teams and could be tougher for Hawks/Cavs than Celts. But it's just me...

But it sounds like Wall wants to play, so I hope things swing in our / your favor. I'll be watching either way

You need to buy a lot of beer as me to survive whole game

Indy is fighting for their playoff lives, so I hope the team looks at this as a chance to get a final tuneup before the playoffs. They can rest everybody tomorrow against the Cavs, but I want them in playoff mode tonight.

I am expecting the Pacers to win comfortably. For us this is an opportunity for Randy to do some roster/rotation tweaking before the playoffs. The Pacers must win so they will.
