Pick& rollover dead

Will I die watching the Pacers not be able to rotate on pick & rolls. If we
could have defended just one of these Granger wouldn't have had to fling up
a last second 3. I've never understood why we have our big man step out on
a p&r when the frontline doesn't have the footspeed or presence to react
quick enough. I did notice Carlisle finally let the guards step through
toward the end of the game, but every team knows they can exploit the p&r
for a 10-20 points before we slap ourselves on the side of the head and
realize we can't defend the play.
On another note I was encouraged with Dunleavy & Tracy, I hope their energy
is infectious.

I think the Pacers will be just fine once Dunleavy and Murphy learn
the offensive sets and their rolls on defense. It may take a month,
but they'll get there and the team will get better with each game.
