Through four games, the oftentimes porous and sometimes preposterous defense of the Indiana Pacers has a lot that ails it (to put it mildly).
J.J. Barea scored 14 points on 20 (!) drives. Trevor Booker dribbled the full length of the floor unabated. Rajon Rondo threw the equivalent of a touchdown pass to Jimmy Butler, and all that stopped D’Angelo Russell from turning to his strong hand and scoring over the top of Jeff Teague in the post three times in under three minutes of game play was his own foul trouble.
