Pacers coach announces Paul George will start at PF

[fishonjazz]

What If the Pacers camp the 4 players out near the perimeter though? Run them east-west thru screens(Mahinmi sets solid ones).. That's my concern.

The Jazz would be stuck hoping for misses.. Not a good bet vs. George and Miles on unobstructed looks from 3.



You really don't want bigs guarding wings near the perimeter, **** like this happens.

You can't send Monta's man to help.. he'll shred thru any defense that lets him get a clean first step towards the basket.

For a team that no one's really hyping, I gotta say I do kinda like this idea. even if its a bit gimmicky.

Those guys are not outside sharp shooters.

I would think outside the box and play a zone defense against them any time favors and Gobert are on the floor together..... A three two zone

Favors will be able to walk into the paint and get position and turn and dunk on George at will.

Depends on how much speed and quickness he has retained since injury. I don't think Favors will struggle that badly guarding George, or at least I think George will struggle more than Favors will in the match-up.

Paul George plans on talking to both Vogel and Larry Bird to get their perspective on how first game went, but he clearly isn’t on board

@CandaceDBuckner
IMO Paul George doesn’t just sound as hesitant as he was last week in embracing the 4 - now he’s making sure everyone knows where he stands

@CandaceDBuckner
PG was told about this move back in April. Today on October 3, he goes back to this refrain: "I’m still trying to wrap my mind around it."

@CandaceDBuckner
PG asked if he wants IND to play more traditional w/ another big, he smiled: “I’m not saying it but that definitely felt more comfortable."

@CandaceDBuckner
Paul George: "I mean, you put four wings out there. At times we’re going to kick some ***. We’re going to look good at times...

@CandaceDBuckner
“...But then you know there’s going to be times when it’s not going to look so good.” - Paul George on the #Pacers new style of play
