PG Pacers Game 3: Loss

I didn't think it was possible, but after that coaching performance I'm starting to think Griffin ain't that bad.

Agree, but it was Pacers guards getting all the boards. Brook and Bobby got their box outs, someone else needed to be the rebound collector, especially considering our perimeter guys weren't boxing out.

AJJ

If it was on purpose, that was smart by IND to throw it into the backcourt and let Hali attack w speed. Totally broke down the defense.

It doesnt need to be AJJ it could have been AJ Green. Anyone

If AJJ gets more of Bobby minutes we win this game, this was glaringly obvious to me. Was saying it during the 2nd quarter

I thought we were lucky to only lose by three. They didn't care to rebound down the stretch at all, gave Siakam a wide open three which was in-n-out, Khris' banked in a three, etc. Outside Khris, this was a poor team ending.

What more can Dre and/or Dairy prove to get closing minutes? We win with them out there preventing 4+ second chance opportunities per possession.

Doc made a ton of moves to give us a chance on the road.

How many coaches would give minutes to out of rotation young guys in the middle of a playoff series?

Without Giannis, we're not the better team.

And they were taking advantage of lame leg dame.

Bev wasn't good defensively either down the stretch.

So infuriating since Doc has acknowledged Green's rebounding ability for his position. Talk is cheap.

I see clearly now why Giannis gets so many rbs, bc the rest of these. Dudes are trash

Bobby was awesome defending Siakam.

AJJ could play over Bev or Brook.

These were my thoughts as well. As rough as Bobby was the issue was Brook and Beverly gave you almost nothing.

They needed this one imo to give themselves a little cushion because Giannis is not coming back before game 5. Now Middleton is exhausted, Dame was hurt in the end, just playing decoy. Unless they can repeat this same effort and get some rebounds this is probably down 3-1 and then hoping Giannis comes back and wins 3 straight.

Agree, but the old guys were gassed and had no legs in the end , a substitution here and there could have helped!

This buys Khris 8 hours until people start saying he's a playoff liability again.

RiotPunch · Post #100 » by **RiotPunch** » Sat Apr 27, 2024 12:53 am

This could either be demoralizing or encouraging, but we might not have Dame and/or Khris on Sunday, and Giannis still doubtful.

Absolutely needed to seal the deal here. Had every opportunity to roll with the young guys more and opted for "experience."
