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

[Rob's al Ghul]

Wiz definitely seem to be the chic pick this series. Seeing a lot of that from the "experts" on TV and in print...which makes me nervous yet excited and confident.

I don't think the Wiz match up quite as well with IND as they did CHI, but that was when Hibbert was backing up his "DPOY" blather. But if he's still doing his Tin Man act then I'll gladly take my chances taking on West/Mahinmi. I get that the Hawks gave IND a different look with all their 3-pt shooters and stretched their D more, but they don't have the Wiz' size/bulk.

Gotta pressure their Gs, force 'em out on the perimeter, and hope their spacing/ball movement continue to be basura. And if the Wiz play D like they did v. CHI, all the better. Also, I hope that that Game 7 isn't gonna get PG untracked. 'Cause if he's found his shot, Ariza's really got his work cut out for him.

Heart (of course) says Wiz in 6, but head's telling me IND in 5 or 6. Wiz are a little bit ahead of schedule...just a little, though.

I want to say IND wins in 7

But my gut is saying the Wizards win in 6

The reason is that the Pacers played our full roster once and that was March 28 when we beat em by double digits

Beal and Nene missed the other game and we had Vesley starting

And the first game the Wiz missed a bunch of open shots and the Pacers were clicking on all cylinders



The tape don't lie, IND isn't back to where they were in December and I just don't see Hibbert coming back

Bynum might be back this series

Pacers trump card

Great story on Ariza

Great story on Ariza

I read a similar story earlier this season.

I don't understand why Frank Vogel just realized the Lance Stephenson is a REALLY good post up SG. ( @gator_king ) I expect them to put him on the low blocks against Beal.

Can't wait for the matchup. So much young talent in the league

Hold up George hill is guarding john wall?



wiz in 1/2

 

[Bledswole]

Wizards in 7

for the simple fact that Indiana couldnt stop Teague and whenever Teague played big ATL won,so if they couldnt stop Teague what the fukk they gonna do to John Wall

“It’s a great team. Real physical. Similar to Chicago, just the way they play kind of slow,” Wizards guard Bradley Beal said. “But they have a lot of threats on their team on both sides of the floor. We’ve definitely got to be bought in, ready to go from the jump. Hopefully they’ll be pretty tired."

“I’m hoping (Hibbert’s) going to play the way he’s playing now,” Gortat said. “I don’t want this guy to come in and drop 20 and 15 on me. So if he drops zero and two, I’m cool with that.”

I picked em but Wizkids sounding a little shook to me You gotta be ready to take it to those front runners no matter which version of em shows up

I sure hope so Beal is going to have to star for Washington to win this series

The Great Wall of Chinatown leads us to a win in 6

Spoiler: umad?

I don't know what to make of this series.

The pacers aren't as bad as they played against the hawks.

The wizards aren't as good as they played against my offensively challenged bulls.

The first 2 games are key, if the pacers win both this thing is over in 5.

If washington splits they could potentially win in 6.
