It doesn't take a lot, but basically defenses are giving them the outside shot, and the Pacers aren't able to make them pay for it. The most alarming part is that the misses are coming from Danny Granger and Troy Murphy. Dunleavy definitely brought more motion to the offense tonight, but it still gets stagnant pretty quickly.

Ford's jumpshot isn't falling, Watson is shooting in a slump right now, Murphy isn't back yet and his shot is still not there, but can that really be the big difference from last year's production and this years? I thought Jones is covering for Jack's production, but where has all the scoring gone? Is our bench scoring much lower this year? What’s exactly wrong with the Pacers offense?
