The Indiana Pacers were 2-2 and there was a slight bit of panic in the air. Despite running back the same starters as a season ago, things weren’t going as smoothly as planned for Victor Oladipo and company.
In fact, one of those things is Oladipo himself. Oladipo is far from the only player that needed to improve some things, but as the team’s star player, he carries more responsibility.
He had been trying too hard to carry the weight of the whole team on his shoulders. He was attacking like a battering ram, but with worse results than a season ago.
