Pacers fall apart in middle quarters, fail to close out Bucks with loss in Game 5 indystar.com/story/sports/n…
Revised version of four observations with more on how the Pacers collapsed in quarters 2 and 3 and how the Bucks kept them from doing anything they wanted to in the paint and how they couldn't shoot from outside either: indystar.com/story/sports/n…
Bucks defeat Pacers in Game 5 without Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard usatoday.com/story/sports/n…
Tyrese Haliburton: "They controlled the pace tonight. Hell of a game for a lot of those guys tonight."
Carlisle: "I didn't have these guys ready the way they needed to be ready."
Carlisle: "After a good first quarter, things went very much downhill after that."
Ball game. Bucks win 115-92. Game 6 in Indy on Thursday night.
Pacers have the starters out to begin the fourth.
Pacers scored 31 points in the first quarter. They have 36 since.
Aaron Nesmith blocked on a 3-point try to end the third. Bucks up 87-67.
Beasley another 3 and it's 82-63 and now it's really getting away.
Bucks go up 15. Pacers falling apart on both ends. Having a hard time finding any room to work against the Bucks defense as Bucks are cutting off their attacks whether they're on drives or dump-offs, and Bucks are scoring in the paint easy.
So anyway, The Pacers come out with an, ahem, interesting lineup. Haliburton, McConnell, Sheppard, Toppin and Isaiah Jackson making an appearance.
The Bucks old people dance team is spectacular. This league trend is cracking me up and Milwaukee's just put on a performance that has to be one of the top five I've seen this year.
They're down 12, but that's one hell of a play by Ben Sheppard to get his hands on the loose ball, knock it off Pat Beverley and get the Pacers a possession. That turns into a Haliburton layup and now the Pacers are down 10.
Turner forces his way in for a lay in and the Pacers finally get on the board in the second half. Down 62-50.
Middleton gets Nesmith to jump and then gets a left-handed lay in and a foul. The master is reminding the student of some things tonight: indystar.com/story/sports/n…
Just 15 of the Pacers' 43 field goal attempts have come in the paint. They have just 16 points there. And their jump shots are not on at all. So this is not a good combination of things.
Portis floater. Bucks start the second half on a 7-0 run and it's 60-48.

@DustinDopirak PASCAL gotta give something asap we can still come back but idk they got some juice
So anyway, The Pacers come out with an, ahem, interesting lineup. Haliburton, McConnell, Sheppard, Toppin and Isaiah Jackson making an appearance.
McConnell-Nembhard-Sheppard-Siakam-Toppin on the floor to start the second
@DustinDopirak That squad is fun as hell to watch - goodness and I'm a Bulls fan

@jimcoyleISB @DustinDopirak Dustin did a great job discussing flopping in the NBA.
@DustinDopirak "Nothing is ever broken. Nothing is ever fixed." Wow perfect description
Celtics are taking and making 3s. Heat are taking and missing 2s. I don't want to get all super-technical-analytics guy on you, but that's typically not a great formula.
"No one gives a damn about the things I give a damn about. "The liberties that we can't do without seem to disappear like ghosts in the air. "When we don't even care, it truly vanishes away." -- @JasonIsbell
BREAKING: About 50 IUPD and Indiana State Police officers forcefully detained several peaceful protesters and took down the encampment at Dunn Meadow.
@BrianBatko If you told me this photo is actually dads around a guy working under his hood and just photoshopped the radar guns out, I’d believe you.
@DustinDopirak Yes he will. And hey, he should. Any good marketer or salesperson knows you have to keep repeating the same message for it to sink in.
@DustinDopirak @PacersStatsMuse @TonyREast @ScottAgness Thank you, Dustin! This is why we love you!
@DustinDopirak Siakams game is inside the Arc though. He does most of his damage from 20ft in. Live by the sword…
@GSavetheplanet @DustinDopirak Wasn't his fault. He was passing to Toppin and TJM deflected it.
@DustinDopirak Looks like he has been rushing his shot just a bit.
