    I swear if this team just learned how to pass the ball and play just AVERAGE defense they’d be really really good. It’s nuts how hard they make two basic concepts look

    Interesting to see Nas' face as he headed to the timeout huddle. No excitement, no anything, kinda like, "are we done yet".

    I wouldn't be surprised if most of the players are turned off and tuned out of the Stotts system.

    I think some of them could be much better than they show but when the coach has essentially taken the plan to play as a team away and gone with hero-ball, if you are one of the heroes, what is the point, everyone else is a munchkin.

    Why would he be excited almost knowing his 3 minutes are almost up?

    Pacers move the ball SO MUCH better and more quickly. So much more enjoyable to watch.
