Our 3-point shooters may go from above average to total crap if they're not wide open. So when Zion drives into the wall and kicks, guys like Naji, Herb and Trey have to make teams pay. If not, we're gonna get blown out.

Isn't this most teams? If a "true PG" like, say, Tyrese Halliburton continually drives into a packed lane and kicks out to shooters who miss everything, wouldn't you expect the Pacers to lose?

Pels losses almost always hinge on two things:

1. Herb gets in foul trouble early

2. Starters+Trey can't make threes, but instead of letting someone like Ryan or Hawk shoot some, we quadruple down on letting our guys "shoot their way out of a slump", which almost never happens.. Then next game we'll shoot 52% from three and Willie will think he's a genius

Our coach just can't make adjustments on the fly, and is too afraid to tell stars or veterans to sit down when they aren't making shite
