Game Thread 12/23: Pacers vs. Wizards

Post #1 » by **boomershadow** » Sun Dec 23, 2018 10:28 am

Turner's defense was a key component to Indiana's win over the Wizards two weeks ago, when he swatted five shots and altered several more to held Indiana hold off Bradley Beal and Co.

Washington did not have All-Star guard John Wall in that meeting, but they have not played much better since he returned to the lineup. The Wizards have dropped four of their next five contests before Wall missed another game Saturday due to illness.

The rest of the Wizards won't be very rested on Sunday. The Wizards went to triple overtime against the Suns in Washington before ultimately prevailing at 10:15 PM ET in Washington, less than 19 hours before they are scheduled to play again in Indianapolis.

Thomas Bryant had a huge game last night. 14 for 14 in 3OT. only Wilt went 15 or more without a miss.

Bryant is no scrub, for sure. Think he’ll have trouble scoring against Turner, though.

Nate SUCKS at realizing when the game is over. Wizards stars have been off the floor for awhile. Why is Oladipo limping back on defense????

Officially the #1 rated defense. The pace is also slowly going up - they're now 24th in pace (19th in the last 10 games). Now if they could only get into the top15 offensively, that would be great.
