GT #64: Pacers @ Wizards 6 PM 3/4/18 

Post#1 » by nate33 » Sun Mar 4, 2018 9:20 pm

Game starts in 2 hours. Had to get a thread up.

This is a big game. The Wiz need to snap a 2-game losing streak, and the Pacers are just 0.5 games behind us in the standings. The Wizards are 1-0 this season against the Pacers, with the win coming in Indy on February 5th. Oladipo did not play that game.

A win here would be huge because not only does it give us some cushion in the standings, but it would secure the head-to-head tiebreaker.

We don’t need no stinkin’ pretty game thread.

Bring the lunch pales and sledgehammers... let’s give those tired old Pacers a beating.

We played pretty well despite losing in the last two games. Tomas did not have a good night against Lowry, and CJ just couldnt miss anything he threw towards the hoop. Not at all concerned about being in a slump, I think we can take the win tonight if we keep playing the same way and focus on D.

Well, in fairness, we took Mike Pence off their hands. Taking back Mahinmi is the least they can do.

Cut the turnovers down and we'll win. Simple as that

Wiz need the win to be in a virtual tie for 3rd and get some distance from Indy.
Good luck!

First matchup against them with Oladipo, should be a good one.

Anyone else’s CSN telecast been choppy the last couple games? The HD hasn’t been as smooth for me.
