The pre-game chat with Frank Vogel once again drifted into the topic of the "good problem" he has coaching the Pacers.
He has too much depth, if that's possible. Too many players who can play. Veterans who have fallen out of the playing rotation and a bench that extends all the way to Fort Wayne, where owner Herb Simon had to buy a Development League team to assure the younger players would get some game minutes.
The good problem saved the Pacers from a bad headache in their 93-87 victory over Atlanta at Bankers Life Fieldhouse on Monday, when the reserves combined to make up for the mysterious play of Paul George, who struggled for the 11th consecutive game since dropping 48 points on Utah in Salt Lake City on Dec.
