Gotta look at Carlisle for the recent struggles. Mathurin coming off the bench, but playing 40 minutes? Walker plays 2 friggin’ minutes?! Sheppard starts? What is this mess of coaching?

And despite Carlisle making an ill-advised late season change to the starting lineup, it hasn’t helped the Pacers start better or win more frequently.
