Hey guys, I talked to @samsonfolk.bsky.social about the Pacers "zoning out" in G3 - deep dive on CLE's 3-2 + possible solves - over-relying on Turner to make plays - needing more from Haliburton/Siakam the most important thing about basketball is the basketball youtu.be/MCRxY7yOMfk

Just want to say a quick thanks to everyone who has watched & engaged with the “Caitlin x Samson playoff pods.” Helps that the Pacers keep pulling off miracles, but the audience size for an Xs and Os + banter show in a small market has exceeded my expectations. Means a lot.

Caitlin and Samson breaking down the Pacers game like only they can do! Make sure you subscribe to Basketball, She Wrote so Caitlin can continue to give the best Pacers (probably basketball as a whole) analysis out there.

When you're so overrated you get face-guarded in the half-court while standing on the logo

For someone who has never exactly been known for his rebounding, Myles is now forever going to be remembered for this tap-out. Cavs were out of timeouts, assumed Tyrese would make both, and kept their FT shooters in the game instead of subbing for rebounding. Ended up being a brutal choice.

Nembhard made this rotation from the back-court. Ridiculous.

I wrote about how the Pacers collapsed in G3 by too often collapsing - and what needs to change to avoid further collapse in the series On the double whammy that was doubling & the difficulty of running forward while cornered and/or running in circles: www.patreon.com/posts/how-pa...

The Bucks switched on 52.8% of the ball-screens they defended against the Pacers in Game 2 -- MIL's highest switch frequency in any game this season. The Pacers scored 1.158 PPC against those switches, up from 1.008 during the regular season.
