"No wonder the guy needs a nap."

Sleepy lies the head that downs the 'quil.

"However, the load he has to shoulder has never been heavier. Consider what he said in late January about the wear and tear he's been experiencing. From the Indianapolis Star:

A few weeks ago, George elected to push through the soreness in his legs, resulting in inconsistent performance. But on Monday, he acknowledged that continuing such an effort could make him less effective.

“I think a lot of it is just being overly confident that I can go out and still do the things I was doing (earlier in the season),” George said. “It's not the case. It's hard and it's weighing on me right now, it's weighing on my body, it's weighting on my mental (approach). It just sucks knowing where you were at.”

This is the issue with the design of the Pacers' offense and it's starting to really affect George's performance. George averaged 29.5 points in 36 minutes per game in 13 games during November, and the Pacers were outscoring their opponents by 15.6 points per 100 possessions with him on the floor, as George shot 48 percent from the field and 50 percent from 3-point range.

In January, those numbers dipped to 21.8 points in 34.8 minutes, shooting just 41 percent from the field and the Pacers outscoring opponents by just 3.5 points per 100 possessions. George hasn't shot over 41 percent in a single month since November.

Since Dec. 1, the Pacers are 17-20. George is ninth in usage. To put this in perspective, George has over 500 more points this season than the second-highest Pacer, Monta Ellis. His time of possession stats are lower than the point guards, which you would expect, but that's kind of the problem. Much of what the Indiana offense does is create quality looks for George, as it should. But it requires George to burst around screens for catch-and-shoot looks.

When the Pacers were grinding games out with Roy Hibbert and David West, that was one thing. But Indiana is eighth in pace this season, so not only is George moving more consistently possession by possession, but he's doing it on more possessions. All of this adds up to why George is 10th in distance traveled, per the NBA's SportVU data, and among those top 10 players in miles traveled on court? He's fourth in speed.

No wonder the guy needs a nap.

In a lot of ways, George finds himself in a similar situation as Paul Pierce did for the early and mid-2000s. A fantastic player with a killer instinct, carrying a team on his back. The Pacers' brain trust has shown it's capable of drafting and getting great talent, Myles Turner already looks like a phenom. But George is still the team's best weapon in most instances. Whether the shift to carry the burden falls on management to get another weapon or on the coaching staff to shift away from designs that feature him to this degree is unknown. Maybe it's as simple as George taking a step back to save his energy. That's not going to vibe with George's approach; he doesn't shy from leadership. But the long-term has to be part of the evaluation.

There's no alternative, though. Monta Ellis can't carry this team. Myles Turner isn't ready. Help is not coming, with the deadline having come and gone. The Pacers reconfigured their entire team around George, have made him their superstar, and he's delivered. But that comes with a price. The Pacers need to make getting George some help this summer an absolute priority. Otherwise they may risk George becoming tired of how much he's having to carry for Indiana, despite their success."
