Jazz catching breaks with the zone defense. Indy missed some easy shots. Don't think that is sustainable.
 
OK, nevermind. Not an easy win. Quin sticking to this zone and the Pacers are happily taking their free wide open 3 every possession.
 
That was a good comeback thwarted by Quin's awful decision to play zone. IND got 3 wide open 3's in a row and made all of them.

We were doing that all quarter. The comeback occurred in large part because Indiana missed a lot of open 3's earlier.
 
It really is games like this that convince me this team isn't winning anything in the playoffs.

The Pacers are doing the same thing the Clippers did in the playoffs. We're playing a weak zone because we can't stop anything else, so our best option is literally to gamble on them missing 3's.
to play a good zone you need size and mobility to close out all the space, and we are the exactly opposite of that

It's a conundrum. Jazz have low iq defenders all around. The zone itself against this Indy team isn't a bad decision but if the Jazz suck at it and discard it, when will they get the reps?
