Washington at Indiana

[ClubFoot]

The Wizards and Pacers are both on the second night of a back-to-back. Michael Jordan will again be without his partner in crime Richard Hamilton. Michael has had some other teammates stepping up and providing some offense, but the Pacers have too much depth and inside strength to lose this one.

Any other thoughts or opinions on this game?

Im just a little shocked at how much money has gone on the pacers, people clearly think this streak by the wizards was a fluke. I however do not, Pacers rarely blow anyone out at home, and have somewhere around a 5-9 record vs teams over .500. They played at indy ealier this year, before the wiz got back haywood or lue and indy barely hung on for a 7 pt win. Theres no way i can lay big pts ever with a team that plays as little of d as indy does, i think wiz have a shot to win this game and at least keep it close.

Totally agree with you about the Wizards streak NOT being a fluke. They looked awesome during first half of last nights game. I still can't figure out why they don't get any respect. However, after what I saw last night in the 2nd half I am not comfortable playing them in this game. Their defense fell apart towards the end of the game and they lost a game that should have been a W.

As you said, this should be a close game, but I think the Pacers cover -7.

Look forward to your comments at halftime on JT's thread tonight. GL!!

This is the wizards 4th gm in 6 nights( all on the road) and 3rd w/out Hamilton, don't forget latener is also out. I also think the wizards wheels are about to fall off.

Michael has played 36 and 35 minutes in BtB gms, but seems to score more the second night.

The wiz got hammered on the boards Ln by a very soft team in Charl, also Indiana has beaten the wiz something like 5 straight including a 7 point win on Nov 22(Wiz were @ full strength).

Indiana has a 3 gm winning streak and are coming off a road win Ln against the magic in which they had several players in double figures and also survived a 1 for 12 shooting night from Jalen Rose.

I love the pacers - 7 for 5 units
" ML -2.70 for 3 units

Also for chits and giggles Ind over 97.5
points 1 unit.

Ind last 10 gms has 5 over 100, 1@ 98 and 1 @ 99 plus the last 4 meetings Ind lowest point total was 99.
