    They don't really have an excuse... like I said, they just missed a ton of good looks. If I had to guess a 'reason', I'd say it was probably the pressure of knowing it was the biggest basketball game in DC since as long as most of that team has been alive.

    there was a lot of Pacer hands in the face of wizards shooters tonight, over and over again, whether you want to admit it or not.

    5-1 in their last 6 games

    sole loss: on one day's rest following a 7th game, opponent with 5 days rest

    Pacers are lucky to play in the EC. This allows them to re-group and adjust their forms even in the playoff. And now they are going to step up and still have good chance beating Heats. Compare it to the cases in Clippers and Thunders, it is heaven and hell!!!

    Is John Wall going to step up today? Need a signature game in the playoffs.

    Trevor Ariza stepping up again. Although, if there was one thing I learned in Trevor's one year with the Rockets... You live by the Ariza, you die by the Ariza.

    If he's your 4th or 5th option, you usually won't die by him.

    If Pacers don't have shut down defense, they're a bottom tier team in the league. Their offense sucks more than Memphis.

    I'm convinced the mob is involved or the Pacers really are disjointed...
