Yep...he's also failed to make the proper adjustments. He's gone out in every single game and used the same lineups. Should have realized way earlier Hibbert needed to sit
who is to blame for the Pacers failures?

Yea, I always felt like he would be an issue.

They have been completely dominated in this series. Down 30 points in your home court in the most important game in a series?
Was it team chemistry? Vogel losing control? PG and Hibbert exposed as fake superstars? How the team is structured?
It's not surprising considering how they've played in the last month. It's like they've stopped competing and don't even want to be there.
Let me repeat myself. They are weak on the perimeter. In the off season, the Pacers buffed up the front court , but didn't upgrade in the pg and sg position that could have possibly increase their offensive scoring. Evidently this team was build to beat Miami. Furthermore, the team wouldn't have been number one seed if other teams didn't have to face ordeals in the inception of the season. They start off well, but once other teams got their rotation together and made some improvements from the trading block , the Pacers started to fall. They overachieved. Bulls, Knicks, and the Nets were affected by injuries; the Pacers would have been a five seed at best if those teams were healthy.

they don't seem motivated. I really think its bynum tellin everybody that they'll still get paid if they lose. plus no fan support probably hurts

see the thing about G. Hill....i never wanted to say we needed another PG. i thought with the style we play, G. Hill is good because Lance or PG bring the ball up a lot of times also and start the offense from there. plus I'm biased because G. Hill is from here. i know the nikka can hoop and what he can do. he's been playing timid for a minute now. def not like his normal self. he's totally fell off.....but that doesn't mean he can't get hot again. but he's really REALLY fell off. CJ Watson's performance tonight says enough.
G. Hill doesn't look to score at all and he should. It would make a big difference. Tired of hearing announcers talk about Jeff Teague coming back to his hometown....I'm like...George Hill you do remember you used to rip shyt up here too right? Show these muthafukkas how you do it too damn.

It's crazy how the two poster child teams for not tanking and seeing it through and doing it the competitive way are both 1 L away from being 1 and done
07 Mavs didn't have a mental collapse like this though, the Warriors were just the absolute worst matchup for them at the time. Don Nelson knew exactly how to defend Dirk and knew his former team was pretty soft, it was like a perfect storm working against the Mavs. You can point to what happened to the Mavs and find a cause, with this Pacers team it makes no sense how hard they fell off out of nowhere, they're completely healthy.

I honestly think Steve Blake could have really helped them.
This team was collapsing prior to that Granger trade.
This stupid team got out to a hot start in a historically bad esteem conference.
They won 47 games last year and by and large they're still that team

I do not why you guys are surprised about the Pacers lackadaisical performance. The team is overrated. They are great team defensively, but on the other side of the court they ain't worth shyt

I believe the Warriors swept in the season series in 2007 too.
