Pacers (15-25) at Celtics (19-21) Game #41 1/10/22

[jpotter33]

Smart doing too much looking for his own shot tonight.

Timelord dominating the offensive board.

[pokeKingCurtis]

Why don't we just have Rob dunk every possession

Scal agrees

[radiohead]

I remember Brad saying he likes Romeo and Nessie because they’re “cutters”. Well, nobody’s cutting at all this game! This offense is stagnant and Ime’s not doing anything about it. It’s easy to defend if your opponent is stationary Ime!

[hpantazo]

if it wasn't for Rob cashing in off all our bricks, we'd be in trouble right now.

[Silas]

Rob with 10, 6, and 2blocks.  Another strong game so far.

[pokeKingCurtis]

Thought we played well for the first couple possessions, Brown hit Rob on a dunk. How the hell did it drop off completely so soon after

Ime...

Exactly. Al on the other hand has been a non factor. He looks tired.

Yeah, for the umpteenth time he should be coming off the bench...

[todd_days_41]

Watching Tatum and Brown walk around and iso is epically annoying. This stuff can’t continue.

[Kiorrik]

Serious question... Do the C’s actually have plays on offense? Or are they just wingin’ it.

It’s all ISO

Yeah - couple times now people just don't cut.

Everyone just looking.

In fact, even in the pick and roll between JB and Timelord, TL didn't cut to the basket and JB kinda had to hold.

Just so frustrating. They do it once in a while, so you know they’re capable, but it never sustains. No action off the ball, just guys spacing to the corners.

Feels like whenever someone mentions "bad habits", this is exactly what that's about.

And it's fair - those are hard to get rid of. Do see us improving the consistency slowly. Hope it truly clicks soon.

Feel like the key is gonna be trusting the team play and cutting at crunch time, instead of going for the ISO play.

If that makes sense. That's when you wanna see them do their best.

[liam]

We have to have more shooting on the floor...

Al is gonna make $14MM next year to sit on his butt, then sign a PJ Brown contract with a contender on Feb 1, 2023.

He’s toast.

He's still a very usful player but he needs to be playing 20 minutes a game. It'll make me sick if he ends up on the Nets...

[radiohead]

Putting JT/JB on the corner is just really wasting their talent. They’re two of the better wings in the league and this offensive scheme just makes them jump shooters most of the time.
