Indianapolis, Ind. With the Miami Heat waiting in the wings, the Pacers do not want to go back and forth between district of Columbia and Indianapolis, Indiana. They need to put a body on Al Harrington and they need to find a way to keep Trevor Ariza out of the corner. They need to get their hands up and get more aggresive and play in front of him. From the opening tip, the Pacers need to be aggressive and they need to force the ball to Roy Hibbert. They need to get the ball to the big man Roy Hibbert. What can you say about Paul George? He continues to play like Reggie Miller. What will he do for an encore?
There are signs that Roy Hibbert is playing better basketball. Can he continue? You know that the Indiana fans are going to want to celebrate tonight. I am going to expect the Pacers to have a lot of energy. The fans are going to want to pump up the Pacers. Meanwhile the Wizzards are going to try to take the crowd out of it. The Pacers should be ready tonight to play and if they don’t the Pacers have no excuse. They should bury the Wizards. They have them now in a three and one hole. There is no reason why we should have to go to a 7th game.
