Has Haliburton had a 50 point game yet? Because he’s about to.

Pacers defensive rating is nearly as bad as ours. That's going to be their Achille's heal.

That might be the ugliest court I've ever seen.

Indy's defense is just what we needed. BC with 14/5 at the half.

At the Capital One tonite and Poole has finally made an appearance. He is even defending!

And Bilal is a keeper. Wow. We nailed this pick.

Let's see if we can actually hold on to a lead in the 4th for a change.

We are up 14 with 7:22 to go in the 4th.

I'd say we have a 50/50 shot at winning this thing.

I bet against this team 2-3 times a year and they always win. :lol: typically with their “best game of the season” performance.

I like the way kispert has been attacking the rim lately.

Surprised we are handling Indy like this. They've been playing well recently.

I expected a handful of games like this when Jordan Poole got hot and helped carry us to a win. I knew Poole wouldn't be consistent, but I did expect streaky good shooting from him one out of every 4 games or so. The problem this season is that he has virtually never had a hot shooting night.

He only scored 27+ points 3 times this season. The Wizards are 2-1 in those games.

That was a pleasant surprise and happy for Poole. Deni losing confidence, something to monitor. And the Spurs winning a nice bonus.

3pt shot looks off since thanksgiving, and recently looks hesitant to finish at rim. Could just be a cold snap or teams keying on him more due to his offensive improvement early in season. I think this 4 game road trip will be good for him.
