The Washington Wizards go in and grab game 1 from the Indiana Pacers as they had the nerve to put Gold Swagger Tees all over Bankers Life with no clue obviously of what has been transpiring around the Pacers.

Again the Visiting Team in this case the Washington Wizards came out running on all cylinders with a 28-15 1st frame dominance. That led to a 56-43 halftime lead as the Pacers look back to their old selves in a flash. The Wiz went onto win the game 102-96 as it wasn't that close shooting nearly 63% from the Arc 10 of 16 as that Back Court that was calling themselves the best in the Logo came through. Behind 2nd year Sniper Bradley Beal's 25 points, seven boards, and seven assist. Wall-Star dba John Wall added 13 points and nine helpers with Small Forward Trevor Ariza giving PG-24 22 points and six boards. I told you in the preview if the Pacers PG-24 can't handle Ariza it will be a wash as the Wiz have the advantage at both Guard Slots and maybe ion the front court.

The Pacers get 18 points from both George Hill and PG-24 but it all was a non-factor as Pacers Lead man Frank Vogel needs to go to that 2nd unit and stick with them longer. Evan Turner, C.J. Watson, and Luis Scola wanted it more than the Pacers Starters as they combined for 28 points, eight boards, and four assists. The make of an NBA Coach is when the tough get going you might have to shake some things up but can you shake it up and will the players respond in a positive manner or negative. It looks to me as they are tuning Vogel out and he can't handle that roster which means he needs to be replaces pure and simple. To be a Players Coach you better had won a lot and if you haven't you will be the 2013-14 Indiana Pacers.

Indy you think that current problem is fixed by moving to Round #2...please!

Game 2 will be Wednesday May 7th at 7pm ET...
