GT #34: Wizards @ Pacers 12/23/18 5:00PM 

Post#1 » by Eli Babak » Sun Dec 23, 2018 12:54 pm

Wizards played last night a real thriller against improved Phoenix Suns. That game ended after 3 OTs to Wizards' 149-146 victory. Starters played big minutes so a W tonight would be a miracle - but it's Christmas... :) John Wall didn't play against Phx but was celebrating on the bench. I assume he plays today. Morris should get +30 mins too because he fouled out and Brooks wants to cheer him up.

Indiana won their last game which was @Brooklyn, 114-106. Only Tyreke Evans is questionable.

Only about 18 hours rest after last night's game, and that includes travel to Indy. And last night, Beal and Ariza played 54 minutes, Green played 49, and Sato played 48.

I don't see how the Wizards can win this one. Indy plays HARD and the Wizards won't have the energy to match them. The only way they win is if Wall goes off, or if they hit like 60% of their 3's.

Would be nice to see heavy mins of Troy and Devin Robinson but our coach is a moron. With Wall back, I can't fathom how putrid Brooks' rotations will be tonight.

Beal should play 54 minutes in every game.

Brooks played Baker over Brown last night, he'll probably do the same. This would be a game to give Robinson some PT, Brooks will run the starters into the ground 1st, then trot Troy and the others out in garbage time.

When has there ever been a loss by the Wizards. A "shock". SMH. If Wall is back it will definitely be one. BTW I would be "shocked" if they lose by less than 15 points.

Wall looking to fit in and pass is horrible, forcing plays all the time, just be aggressive.

His way of being aggressive is chucking up 26 shots

He refuses to close out on shooters or stick with them.

Lol another Wall turnover because he’s trying to be the hero after Beal put up the monster game last night.
