In the wake of the loss that shall remain nameless, the Pacers are soon to be back in action against the Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday with a chance to solidify their spot atop the standings in Group A of the NBA's In-Season Tournament. As such, for the sake of providing a palate cleanser from the listless performance that was Sunday while also looking ahead to yet another game with higher stakes, the time has once again come to reconvene in my highly sophisticated film room.

From the war for the nail to the adjustments Quinn Snyder has made in positioning non-shooters, join me in taking a deep dive into some potential key battleground areas. Let's get into it!
