Uh. Pacers kissed the series away tonight. Just terrible 4th quarter. Couldn't stop basic dribble drive.

As good as PG is offensively he struggles on D, badly.

PG is one of the best defenders in the NBA. Have you seen the Pacers play.

This is true. Definitely can't watch one game and say he is a bad defender.one of the best two way players in the league. He's right up there with Kawhi Leonard, LeBron James, Klay Thompson. So that is good company. He certainly isn't a James Harden, Kevin Love or Kyrie Irving.

PG didn't play defense tonight. And Stuckey almost single handedly cost them this game in 4th quarter. I admit I don't watch a ton of Pacers so sorry for the generality. I don't know why PG didn't get in defensive position to stop a single drive if he normally does.

Vogel needed a TO so bad to stop that run.... Waited WAY too long.

I'm curious why not? He's the best Young center in the league.

He's immature. I don't think he takes the game seriously. If he did, he would be Cousins level.

He was a hot head, got a lot better when he came off the bench, but he needs to develop sometime of scoring option outside of 5 feet to hit Cousins skill level.

Yeah, dude was putting up historic advanced numbers as a perimeter defender pre-injury. He isn't back to that level yet. But is still easily a plus defender, most nights considerably better

That was bad.  4th quarter was a joke. Whoever said up top they lost the serious last night is correct.  Sure, they'll probably win tomorrow in Indy, but just don't see them having the moxy to close out in Toronto.  Was really stoked up until that 4th quarter though.

Refs are going to be pissed. They did everything they could to earn that bonus but the Heat couldn't convert. Too bad.

Refs werent calling anything at all at the end. Definition of swallowing the whistle. Goaltendings.. But could have easily called fouls on Charlotte.
