Dropping from 4th place in April to 10th place one month later would be a travesty. Please don’t let it happen.

Essentially a best of 3 series between Wash, Indy and Charlotte

Positive vibes only. Lets go!

Gonna have to hope Beal isn't 100%. And according to the site I check injuries/starting lineups, we're going small with Melo/T-Ro/McD/Miles/PJ. Let's rebound the ball and run like hell on them. C'mon.

The 3 point makes are nice, but we can't rely on them all game - because we know that the law of averages will ultimately see them dry up at some stage.

We need to keep up the great ball movement, and also the movement off the ball.

Let's get some P&R's going - the paint has continually been left wide open for us to drive in to.

Miles with 3 blocks to start the game setting the tone! Boy have we missed him!

And yes, PJ and Melo hitting a few 3s certainly is nice, but we're gonna need scoring from everywhere today.

Hated that last shot by PJ. He had Beal in the post with a mismatch but instead flared out and took a contested 3.

I mean, the 3 ball went down so all is well that ends well, but even still, he needs to learn to take advantage of those mismatch opportunities.

He has to learn to, but he also has to want to.

I was preaching for it in the fake trade thread throughout the lead-up to the trade deadline.
