Their lack of rebounding against Thunder under the basket looks awful at least from my point of view. They also look hesitant in their shooting when they have the ball. Looks like too much ball handling and lost possessions. Just my opinion.
There’s an adage for basketball teams at any level that believe they can avoid physicality, shoot 3’s, don’t rebound or go to the basket, especially at the beginning of games. “Jump shootin’ fools’.
The Pacers have more spirited scrimmages than what they displayed last night. Frankly, the players and coaching staff should be ashamed of that tepid appearance. I turned it off 8 minutes into the game. They haven’t had a post presence to keep opponents from driving in for easy layups or rebounding, since Roy Hibbert. Disgraceful effort or lack thereof. Losing is okay if a team tries to play ‘the right way’. Last night was a prime example of not doing so. I lost a lot of respect for this club last night. They had more than enough time to rest and focus…maybe too long of a layoff. Here’s an 💡 idea….how about getting a lead in the fourth quarter so there’s no need for heroics!
I never thought they had a chance in this series. Still don’t. They got one which is one more than I thought they’d get. Still good season,
