Because Love is one of the worst players in the NBA at guarding isolations (bottom 7 percent in the regular season). So switching definitely won’t work. And honestly no big has any chance switching onto a guard like Oladipo. Plus since Oladipo can either pull up or blow by a retreating Love, dropping Love on those pick and rolls doesn’t work either. Therefore the coaching staff protects Love by employing a hard show or even an all out trap and then having another Cav pre-rotate to the roll man. Of course that leads to some four on three situations that the Pacers have taken advantage of to get good looks. But on the other hand, it takes the ball out of Oladipo’s hands and forces someone else to beat the Cavs. And honestly, through the first four games I feel like that strategy has been fairly effective in limiting the Pacers’ offense.
