Do Not Sell My Personal Information
5 straight steals. Garland out the game.
 
Pacers turned their pressure up with McConnell getting 4 steals in a row

When theyre pressuring the ball like this, stop dribbling and pass the ball so you can beat them with cutting to counter the a

GODDAMNIT 5 steals

Who is coaching???
 
I don't fault them for getting Drummond...They thought it would work.
I’m faulting them for benching him when they’re down Love and Nance. I’m not even a Drummond fan. But he has a place with big injuries adding up
 
This might be the worst close to a quarter in the history of basketball.
 
The Bucks not re-signing Malcolm was a mistake.

7 straight steals.
 
Most frustrating series of possessions I've ever seen in my life. I'm ready to break my TV.
 
It is EASY to counter what the Pacers are doing

A middle school coach could counter this

Princeton, Motion High or Flex offense. Move bodies with a purpose, Pass the ball, aggressive back cutting. Make them pay for the half court pressure
 
I'm still waiting to be wowed by Garland. He's never made me go "that's our guy"
He doesn’t shoot the downtown volume we were told to expect. He’s not an A grade athlete like the Wall’s of the world. He’s small. He’s not an artisan like Kyrie around the rim.

and to make things worse, he makes a handful of bad decisions each game.

I like him more than most but his ceiling is going down each game, in my mind.
 
Annnnd another turnover. LOL.
 
JBB is a good culture guy it seems but is lacking tactically on at least one end of the court!
 
McConnell has single handedly created 7 turnovers just now. Wasnt him though. It was Bjorken

I dont blame Sexland

I blame JBB for not adjusting how we were attacking on offense to Bjorken turning his pressure up and not being countered.
 
I don't know if I'm Altman I'm getting Comeback Kid
On speed dial and sending JBB out to pasture.
 
I go to check the box score to see who is being credited with some of these TOs because the FSN feed, twice now, has been watching a replay while the play is going on.

So I go and look at there I see that Osman has 0 TOs. So somehow they're saying the McGee pass that went straight through Osman's chest was a TO on McGee??What?!?

So now I know I can't really trust the boxscore numbers when it comes TOs.
