In spite of ‘new world’ round ball thinking, the basket is still ten feet from the floor. Big people overpower little people. It’s true in business, football and basketball. Tom Thibadeaux knows that.
If you (Pacers) get outscored 60-34 in the ‘paint’…there’s a glaring weakness. The only times the Pacers have had successful runs in the NBA were when they relied on defense and rebounding from Dale & Antonio Davis and Rik Smits. After that, Roy Hibbert. The 3 ABA championships were made possible by HOF center Mel Daniels. Successful franchises always are strong ‘down low’..
Wilt, Bill Russell, Kareem, Bill Walton, the ‘Chief’, McHal, Shaq, Anthony Davis, Giannis, now Karl Anthony Towns. The Pacers need to come to the realization that it’s extremely difficult, if not impossible, to sustain success without a big, strong post presence. It’s simple physics.
