Basketball She Wrote, Caitlin Cooper and Samson Folk System Failure: Why the Pacers were stymied by switches



0:00 – Introductions

3:09 – Which end of the floor was more disappointing?

9:22 – The offense being like opening and closing browsing windows

13:06 – The need to play with more force and forward momentum

19:25 – How much blame should be assessed to rotation decisions?

28:10 – Not feeding the ball inside enough

30:14 – Threading the needle between force and intention

33:39 – Attacking scram switches through role players

43:42 – Solves for Aaron Nesmith against Brook Lopez as a roaming big

46:00 – Brief aside on the mic’d up fan

56:00 – Thanks for listening to us talk about this game

Timestamps that stood out to me

– Passive Siakam https://youtu.be/MeD8RgCMcbM?si=vd0-nszz4frDSiLb&t=798

– Tyrese/pacers ignored Myles mismatch in the post on Khris https://youtu.be/MeD8RgCMcbM?si=Vf1CS-fZys5VLi6o&t=1736|

– in general, pacers don’t reward their bigs (and is this a larger issue with Rick lead teams?) https://youtu.be/MeD8RgCMcbM?si=DZCyYdceB2P8eZrg&t=1907

    It’s really a shame we have to deal with two more losses before the nightmare is over

    Caitlin Cooper has such an incredible mind for hoops. Like I think the Pacers should hire her in some capacity.
