Pacers fans, you guys have a bright future. Anytime the win is by single digits it was a good game. Harden had 45, 9, and 17 crazy how that’s not even breaking news anymore. And for the rockets fans out there, i know you guys didn’t have Westbrook, Eric Gordon didn’t play as well as he normally does, and you guys were missing some players. But this video isn’t me saying one team is better than the other, I’m just saying that the pacers are really starting to figure it out, no one is taking note of it, and I’m here to shed some light on the pacers Now with that being said, Pacers fans, good news for you guys. -Leading scorer only had 18 and still won -Tells us they have depth -Tells us they have chemistry -They had 6 guys in double figures -JaKarr Sampson had 9 points and 5 rebounds in 15 minutes. He probably would’ve had more than 10 points if he played a few more minutes. For the Indiana Pacers: No Malcolm Brogden who’s averaging 17 this year, they didn’t have Sabonis who is averaging 19 this year and let’s be real, the Rockets’ small ball system wouldn’t have had any answers for Sabonis down in the paint, and the pacers didn’t have TJ Warren who’s been going crazy in the bubble. When those 3 guys get back, they are going to be a very deep team. And let’s not forget about Victor Oladipo. He’s not contributing as much as he is capable of because he’s just coming back from that horrible knee injury. Give Victor Oladipo some time and he’s going to be giving teams 20 points a night like he used to. That’s what the raptors are doing and why they won the championship and why they’re the second seed in the east this year Not every guy is scoring 20 points per game, but when one of their leading scorers isn’t in the game, the next man on the bench comes and keeps the offense at the same level of intensity. That’s what makes a great team and that’s what the pacers are slowly turning into. When TJ was hot, they weren’t saying, “Man, I’m tired of this man getting media attention, let me hog the ball and get myself some of the spotlight.” No, they saw their teammate was doing well and they fed him the ball. And obviously, basketball isn’t just offense so how are the pacers doing defensively? According to the NBA’s website, the pacers are tied for 7th in defensive ratings. As you can see, for the most part, the teams that are ranked higher than them are currently championship contenders. So it’s definitely a good sign for a team who has the ability to compete for a championship in the next few years to already be a good defensive team. *Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.
