Because all they're seeing is that Indiana is 2-2 against the 66 win defending champs.

Never mind that the Spurs tore through two post teams with mediocre spacing and a jumpshooting athletic team.

And we think that the reason Indiana won game 4 against Miami is that big +3 in offensive rebounds and not the +16 in DEFENSIVE rebounds.

I'm fine with pop strategy tbh. I'd rather have Tim and tiago spend their energy on the defensive than struggling against a team boxing out to grab a few more offensive rebounds. Tiago is young enough to do that but he is not strong or tough enough to consistently chase the offensive rebound. If there is a good opportunity go for it if you have to go crazy and physical to get it, just focus on transition defense.

:rolleyes Of course I'm not saying the man would dribble the ball to the other side. I'm saying that they guy would throw the outlet pass but there wouldn't be any numerical advantage in terms of players on the other side of the floor if the guy that makes the outlet pass doesn't make it to the other side before all of the defensive players.

Because I'm not bringing this up for the regular season, I bring this up to play the Heat.

So again, it's the +3 in offensive rebounds that is the big difference, and not the +16 in defensive rebounds.

If the Pacers only have a +3 on offensive rebounds is 'cause the Heat must have been getting tons of offensive rebounds too because the Pacers have been murdering the Heat on the offensive glass and has been one of the main reasons why they're tied 2-2 (and should be up 3-1). If the Heat get a lot of offensive rebounds against this Pacers team they could pretty damn well do the same against us, if we not fight back on their side of the floor it could get ugly.
