Pacers no Turner LeVert Lamb lol

[tontoz]

Wiz have lost two starters for the season as well, not to mention Beal playing hurt. They have Neto (4 starts in previous 4 seasons) and Len (cut by Toronto midseason) starting.

Fatigue is a big issue too. Russ hasn't had two consecutive days off in 3 months and it is showing.

How the hell did they blow the doors off Hornets without them? Hornets trying to get a higher pick? :lol

That's a far cry from the pacers missing players.

Could be McConnell's last game in a Pacers jersey.

I expect him to get a big pay day this summer.

Oshae Brissett is pretty good. Raptors let him go for nothing and now he is locked up to cheap 3 year contract for Pacers only 22 years old

[imdaman99]

RoLo lighting up Sabonis :lol

Senile Marv doesn't know any of the players names. Now they're saying it was Hutchinson not Hachimura

[tontoz]

They can't handle Russ

[tontoz]

Lopez has been unstoppable with that hook all year.

[HBK_Kliq_2]

Westbrook has made the playoffs every year since Durant left him. Shame on you Durant.

Siakam and Lowry can't make the playoffs every year without Kawhi

[imdaman99]

Gaff and RoLo pretty good center rotation, both are killin it.
Len shouldn't see the court the rest of this game. But of course Scott Brooks gonna Brooks. Prove me wrong, Scotty

[Joey Turnbuckle]

No reason to watch 2nd half really. Sabonis has 9-11-8 at the half but still down 14 cause his defense in the paint and Brogdon's d on Westbrook is trizzash

[imdaman99]

I didn't watch the Celtics game so I can't really say. Did Wiz tank to avoid the Nets? Doesn't seem like a Westbrook thing but he was rocking sleeves for the first time all year :lol

No. Our coach is an idiot. All year he played a mini me lineup of 3 guards.

Anyone with a clue would know that trying to guard Tatum with Beal/ Russ/Neto was going to be a disaster but that's Brooks.

[insidehoops]

Pacers too injured.

[L.Kizzle]

Pacers too injured.

Wizards been missing 3 core players majority of the season.

[Reggie43]

Pacers really need that rim protection by Turner the most but I wouldnt mind having two 20ppg scorers in LeVert and Warren back also but it is what it is.

[Reggie43]

There would most likely be another coaching change and I hope the next guy focuses on both ends of the floor better. Trades will surely happen and I hope we get that big wing defender that the team desperately needs.

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

Fakkit @zz Russ ducking KD :oldlol::oldlol:

[tontoz]

Wizards definitely earned their playoff spot. Very impressive for a team that was 17-32 on April 5.

[insight]

I don't think the Home Team has lost a play in game.
