"Keep sleeping on us" The Official Wizards vs. Pacers Round 2 Thread

[FAH1223]

THE Washington Wizards head into Indiana for the Eastern Conference Semifinal Round, a place not too friendly for the Wizards the past few years. (Last Washington victory in Indiana was in 2007)

The Pacers have struggled the past couple months and won Game 7 at home vs. the Atlanta Hawks. They still play good defense but they are a turnover prone team that suffers scoring droughts similar to the Bulls. However, they have better individual talent with PG, Lance, and D West.

Keys to the series:

-Keep moving the ball, get great looks
-Protect the boards, Stop Stephenson on the offensive glass
-No turnovers.. ISO Ball is a turnover with these teams
-Force turnovers and push the pace

Also, #FireGrunfeld... still. For good measure.

Think the Pacers win, not sure how many games, but the Wiz are a lot more of a traditional team than the Hawks. That funky lineup with 5 3 point shooters on the floor is a big reason the Pacers had so much trouble with them, they'll be able to play Hibbert more.

The Wiz have more weapons but don't think they have the experience to beat the Pacers just yet, maybe another year under Wall/Beal's belt.
