GT #65: Pacers @ Bullets 7 PM EST
This is a big game... Time for the Wizards to go on another winning streak.

Was a pretty easy win, mostly over by half time. Nice to see the starters resting in the 4th, they need it for next game. Gafford and Beals with big nights, and oh man, Gaff with that incredible block. The multiple 3's hit by Bertans really helped put them away. Onto MIL.

Good start, but strange that Rolo is the first center off the bench, unless Gafford is hurt or unavailable.

Only a 3-point lead, but we are dominating the paint with no Myles Tuner. Also no Brogdon. No excuse not to win this game somewhat comfortably.

Maybe Brooks doesn't want Gafford to get in early foul trouble against Sabonis.

I would like to see Gafford out there. No rim protection from Indy, he should feast with lobs…but Brooks is gonna Brooks…

That doesn't make sense unless he wants him to start the second quarter. He has 18 fouls. Why worry about foul trouble from three centers?

Maybe because one is more valuable than the others. I would much prefer Gafford available to close the game.

Nope. Still doesn't make sense. He the main reason you are near a play-in spot. However, he didn't start the second quarter so I wonder if he's available.

Now Gafford is in. WTF took so long?
Has a shirt underneath. Wonder if he's under the weather? Turned it over on first possession. (second vaccine shot?)

Gafford comes in- not on the same page with Westbrook (who has 2 turnovers in the last 3 possessions) and leads to a 3 in transition

I don't particularly like that Hutch is playing over Matthews and that Gill is buried again, but when Westbrook is out there with Ish, Gafford and Hutch. It's the most athletic and fastest lineup we've had in years. (and throw in DB)

You are too paranoid lol. He always plays with a shirt underneath.
I am just guessing on Brooks. Frankly I would be concerned if I understood his decisions.

This pace is incredible. We're No. 1 in pace of play and Indiana is 5th. We might need 130 to win this game. Maybe more.
