What are the Pacers' biggest issues early on?

Through three games, the Indiana Pacers' small-ball experiment has been an abject failure. 

The team is 0-3, losing two winnable games to the Toronto Raptors and Memphis Grizzlies, and then getting destroyed at home by the Utah Jazz. The Pacers are all sorts of out of sync, and it's unclear if they're just struggling to acclimate to a new system or if the team just isn't as good as most projected.

Over at Indy Cornrows, C. Cooper examined the three main problems the Pacers are having right now: their rebounding rate; their crunch-time defense; and their overall offense. Those are three significant problems -- if you can't rebound, defend or score, you're not going to be very good, frankly -- with no palpable solution.

Here is an excerpt on the Pacers' inability to rebound after ramping up their pace and downsizing in the middle:

Fortunately for the Pacers, they play in the East, where a five- or six-game win streak can get you back into the playoff hunt at almost any point of the season. The Pacers have that type of talent, but they're better off turning their season around before they dig themselves into too big of a hole and it's too late.
