Listen I love a good defense but I'd kill to watch a team that can actually score the basketball the way these teams are

There are only 2 teams in the league that rank in the top 6 in offensive and defensive efficiency: the Golden State Warriors and the Toronto Raptors.

The Pacers are hilarious. Carlisle had them putting up video game numbers. I kind of respect the strategy of making everyone else play their game.

I don’t follow the Pacers because well it’s the Pacers. But really surprised at their offense I can’t even think of a big scorer on their team aside from Halliburton and he was never a big scorer. I guess he’s like their Houston era James Harden though

Defense can be fun too. But the general market only wants buckets. To be fair, when I was a little kid I loved the high-flyers and equated their vertical leap with overall talent.

I'm curious how they became this run and gun team all of a sudden. Carlisle was kind of a conservative coach in the past I thought. What caused this?
