He's not wrong, Pacers gameplan has been turrible.
They basically run a screen at the top and then keep swinging the ball around the horn until they find an open man.
This is insanely stupid because:
1. Pacers don't have knockdown shooters. PG is a volume shooter, Lance is streaky, and George Hill is a shook bytch most of the time.
2. Wade and Bron are good perimeter defenders and Cole/Chalmers gamble on passing lanes like 2k14 cheesers. Once a ball gets tipped, it ignites the Heat fast break.
Pacers advantage is height and the inside game, but they continuously go away from it.
1. Hibbert routinely has a small man on him, but instead of giving him the ball on first touch with position, they wait for the ball rotation, but the weak side defender (usually Wade) just tips it from behind because it's the same play every single time.
2. West had Rashard on him. Did they post up? Nope, they gave West the ball face up at the free throw line. He had to take dribbles to get to his spot which made his shots contested and allowed doubles to come in.
3. PG has routinely been guarded by smaller guys. Does he post them up to punish them or draw a double and kick out? Nope, this dude outchea tryin' crossover smaller guys and getting jammed up on contested shots.
Pacers advantage is height/bulk/depth at the frontline, yet they don't play to it. They should post up consistently, bully downlow, and make the game ugly as shyt. Yet, it's only Scola with any semblance of a post game.
