Pacers fans, I put a lot of work into this one to try and highlight some of the mishaps Indiana has had defensively.
I’m not the best X’s and O’s person, but I wanted to showcase why Toppin and Mathurin have routinely been left out of closing lineups. Inconsistency on the defensive side of the ball is key.
I also give detailed notes on the Pacers horrible 2nd quarter, every McConnell play, how Portland dominated with Ayton, Brogdon and Grant and showcased 3-plays where Haliburton was out of position defensively.
Hope you all read and enjoy! About 8-9 clips in the article.
Good stuff, Alex.
