He can't dribble the ball..he HAS to launch the 3 in that situation so we've got to play WAY up on him so that 3 is as difficult as possible..

Yeah, let him spin move into a turnover....

Out of all the possible choices we went with the worst one.. Horrible put of bounds play.

It was a good game.

Just didn't go the Cs way in the end.

Siakam shooting 31% from 3 this season just made a big shot.

Also a bit of a boost by the refs, if we're being honest, helped get this game to OT.

Probably less than 10 for White.

Fitting he airballs that 3 lol

But I’m still pointing fingers at Mazzula. Playing Kornet va that small line up was **** criminal.

White gave him way too much room.

Wow. -- Lost by a basket, in OT.
After being down by 24.

Play Queta more.

Yeah, but White knew Siakam is not really a good 3pt shooter.

I'm sure if it was Haliburton, White would not have given him space.

To be fair, it’s a lot easier for a team to defend when they know the other team has to shoot a 3

The one thing I hope Joe will take from this game is play Quetta some more
He has the skills that we lack = defensive presence inside, great rebounder and has some rim running skill. We don't have such a player

Yup, straight to the point. Missed Bunnies and missed FT's

pushing it to OT showed what the team is made of.

No more 30 shots for JB unless he’s hot. White should’ve been having the ball more throughout this game. It was a crime he was 3-4 from the field through 3 quarters. Tatum really needs to stop forcing the 3. His midrange and drives look good so far this year, let all that set up a good three point shot.

Fierce1 · Post #457 » by **Fierce1** » Thu Oct 31, 2024 1:55 am

Queta deserves to play.

The paint just got tougher for the Pacers when Queta was in there.

Kalela · Post #458 » by **Kalela** » Thu Oct 31, 2024 1:55 am

Was that play that resulted in a Tatum missed three by design?

phincsfan · Post #459 » by **phincsfan** » Thu Oct 31, 2024 1:56 am

No team is beating the C's in a 7 game series

Unfortunate result. Indy needed JT and JB shoot a combined 6-29 from 3 to get away with that one. Won't happen against the Pacers again.

Holiday still playing a bit below his peak doesn't help.
