So we beat a 16-11 team on the road in a game where Russ, PG, and Melo score a combined 34 points on 10/45 shooting.

I mean the Pacers aren't as good (talented) as their record, and they'll regress to the mean at some point, but we still make no damn sense.
Said in a thread about which point guards would make OKC better if they replaced Westbrook:

Melo got killed multiple times down the stretch on switches. So in the final defensive plays you leave him in there??? You have decent defenders in Grant and Patterson to call on. Why would you do that???

I think I’m starting to understand some of the folks questioning the coach

I say stop damn switching so much.

But for the most part he held his own in the game vs that tactic. They went to that all game with Victor, he didn't shoot so well. Both of Melo's blocks were on that play.

A few of the makes were tough reverses too with Adams in okay position, if not a little late.

It felt like they scored every time they went to that down the stretch. Coach should be anticipating this, but to not even make a change after they keep doing it?

Teams will be doing that nonstop
