Dame probably like "man, Ireally have to do this AGAIN!":lol: Feel bad for the guy, and for Giannis. Assuming he misses the first 2 gmes, at home, I think the series is over in 5 or 6.
Rebounding is too important in the playoffs, and without him they are going to need to come together as a team on the boards. That or they need to shoot the lights out, because if all things are equal in that regard, you don't want to be the team going against Pascal and Haliburton grabbing a defensive board and then just pushing it.
Bucks defense will collapse in that scenario, and we all know how mediocre that defense already is, even with Giannis.
Without Giannis the size is going to play a huge role, and Pacers have more energetic defenders. I like Nembhart and love Nesmith. Putting Nesmith on Dame seems about right, and I don't think Kris has that wiggle to his game to really punish Nembhart on defense anymore.
Punch MIL in the mouth game 1, and I think they shatter and give up.
