I didn't realize Hutchison was going to be playing.

I guess whatever "personal issues" he had with Chicago don't apply here.

He looks good...

No lover for the Gafford blocks?

Gafford is looking really good out there

Hachimura plays solo. Sometimes he really Forces himeself on the game and performs bad plays.

Pacers are really sloppy. Haven’t seen them play that much lately.

Another charge drawn by Mathews - absolutely phenomenal.

I just looked it up. Among guys who have played 500 or more minutes, Mathews is 2nd in the league in charges drawn per 36 minutes. He draws 0.6 charges per 36. Only Blake Griffin has drawn more, with 0.7 charges per 36.

Check out Beal stylin on the sidelines.

Refs don't like Rui for some reason.

Several tough calls in a row there. A questionable travel on Rui. An uncalled goaltend by Turner on Rui, and then a blocking foul called on Mathews that should have been a charge.

Agreed. When it rains it pours. The Wiz often get no respect by the refs...a reflection of the franchise’s reputation?

By the way- Brooks has to stop this 3 centers per game rotation. Play Gafford more!!!

Matthews has to get more shots- just 2 3s in the half does not cut it. There were several possessions when he was open and did not sniff the ball. This is on Brooks..no decent offensive sets in place.

The questionable travel was called a wrap around foul on Rui by the Pacers announcers. I dont think it was that either. Rui was being pushed, and being leaned into before he got the ball. There was no call on that either.
The uncalled goaltend should have been called. The ball hit the backboard and was on tis way down before Turner got his hand on it.

It appears like the Pacers are playing far enough away from Mathews that a simple hard pass to him would give him enough time to get a shot up. Mathews doesn't need much time.

Robinson hasn't been bad at all considering he's been sitting half the season.

Post #37 » by **nate33** » Tue Mar 30, 2021 12:26 am

Westbrook is having a very nice game for the most part. A few too many jumpers, but he is definitely running the offense well, getting guys looks on the pick and roll and the kickout. Only 3 turnovers to go with his 13 assists.

Frichuela · Post #38 » by **Frichuela** » Tue Mar 30, 2021 12:27 am

Robinson can not even make FTs: 1/3

The 3 blocks and 2 steals are fantastic. The 25% FGs, 33% FTs and 0% 3Ps, and 2 turnovers are not.

Can someone please bench Westbrook?
