Through two rounds, the Pacers starters have dominated their minutes: +15.8 net rating as a 5-man group in 143 non-garbage time minutes.
Nembhard leveling up again, somehow. Tyrese, doing it on both ends?? Fun run so far.

I have not liked watching Boston's offense all year, and the start of this Knicks series is why.
No other NBA team has the combination of low passing, low driving, and high volume pull-up 3P shooting that Boston does.

When the Pacers offense catches fire, they are undefeated: 20-0 in the last 2 years.
Last season, it was a key part of what made playing the Pacers so dangerous. They'd have 1-2 of these performances every 10 games.
This season, it had only happened twice until the last month.

Good discussion about this on @lockedonpacers.bsky.social with @tiwindisch.gspn.info today.
Milwaukee has largely succeeded at shifting *when* the Pacers take shots, but breakdowns are still just as punishing.

Two shooting trends defining IND-MIL:
1) Pacers annihilating Milwaukee on corner 3's. A symptom of getting beat off the dribble leading to kickouts + Tyrese's cross-court passing punishing Milwaukee's help and inattention.

How to build a better Pacers bench unit:
🚫 No center
🔥 3+ good 3P shooters
For the season, these bench units were +7.2 pts per 100 possessions -- but in just 156 minutes.
It’s time for them to be put to the test against Milwaukee.

When Tyrese Haliburton sees his first shot go in, he turns up his scoring the rest of the way.
When he misses his first shot, he often dials back.
An appropriate pattern for a role player, but not a star.

The Pacers have become a star-led team, winning the minutes at least 2 of Haliburton, Turner, and Siakam share the floor and losing the minutes with just 1 or none of them.
Last year, units that tilted away from the Pacers three best players were slightly better than those featuring multiple stars.
