Every NBA podcast I've been listening to thinks Rose was right for calling the team out. Its no big deal. Barkelys just a drama queen that tries to make everything so grandeous.

Agreed, and as I said in one of these new posts, in my opinion Rose is not the guy to calls anyone out because I think he hasn't the respect of his teammates, the old ones (He has been out for 2 years) and the new ones (there are 4 new guys in the locker room), not enough respect since he hasn't played neither well nor with effort.. He has been out for many games in this season too and his teammates are being very patient with him. I don't think he is the most appropiate guy right now.

We still don't know who our SF is either. Neither does Thibs.

He never said guys in that locker room aren't competing or guys aren't communicating. He said we aren't competing, and we need to communicate better. This was in direct response to a reporter basically asking what the problem was. Why is this being made into Rose calling out teammates? Last time I checked "We" included Rose as well.
Both teams struggled to score, but down the stretch, the Pacers decided to attack Pau Gasol in the pick and roll. They scored on each of their last two possessions, including George Hill’s game-winning layup with .1 seconds left on the clock.
Attacking Pau in P&R situations hasn’t been new to this Lakers team. As Pau has aged, he’s become more slow-footed and hasn’t been able to move his feet against opposing point guards.
This weakness has only been amplified by the fact that the Lakers perimeter defenders haven’t been able to fight through screens during Pau’s whole tenure in Los Angeles.
The result has been Pau isolated by a smaller, quicker guard after opposing offenses achieved the switch they intended to create in the 1-4 P&R.
On Tuesday, the Pacers ran 16 P&R sets. They ran nine with Gasol on the floor and seven with him on the bench.
While Gasol was on the floor, seven of the nine P&Rs were run with his man setting the screen. The Pacers blatantly attacked Gasol’s inability to move laterally, and they had some success.
Keeping in mind that they shot 34 percent on the night, the Pacers shot 33 percent on all P&R sets and that was the second-highest they shot in all half-court situations (they found back-side cutters with regularity, which led to easy buckets).
It was the 1-4 P&R, however, that gave the Lakers fits and ultimately cost them the game. Let’s take a look at how the Pacers attacked Gasol.
