David West Rips Indiana Pacers, Says 'We Didn't Show Up to Play' Game 5

Shooting streaks come and go, refs can call everything or nothing, but the one controllable part of professional sports is effort.

Frankly, the Indiana Pacers showed none of it in their humiliating 102-79 loss to the Washington Wizards Tuesday night. Pacers forward David West brought more intensity to his fiery postgame rant than his team displayed in a game that could have secured Indy's second consecutive Eastern Conference Finals appearance.
"We didn't show up to play," West said, via Candace Buckner of the Indianapolis Star. "I don't know if we thought we were just going to come in here and these guys were going to roll over...I just don't know where we were tonight."
