Their offense is a well oiled machine so if we are able to slow them down that would say a lot about how far our defense has come. They are probably a better offensive team than Boston. They will be the toughest matchup because they have so many different weapons but defensively they might be the weakest matchup so we should be able to get our offense going too.





Look at who they've played, the best perimeter defender they've seen so far is Dean Wade or Max Struss :lol:

It's easy to look like a well oiled machine when you're playing injured teams. A healthy Boston team had a better ORTG then them on the seaso, and a better ORTG while playing a better defensive team in the Magic in the first round.


Their offense is more balanced than Boston so they are harder to defend. Boston only spams 3 pointers so they will shoot themselves out of games as we’ve seen. Indiana moves the ball well and has a balanced inside out attack. I doubt we can keep them under 100 three times like with Boston


The rely on pushing pace, they would have more trouble scoring in the half court than the Celtics have. If we get sucked into playing their game then yeah they're more balanced but they also have more things that can go wrong, like what happens if we can switch and contain in the half court, then what? They don't have any tier 1 scorers to fall back on. The Celtics can get stupid at times with the threes but there's just a lot more pressure their offense can put on a team in the half court because there's 4 different guys that can attack closeouts, 2 high level creators and 2 decent to good playmakers with those guys.

BSPN will hate on the Knicks forever.

Knicks beat a corpse of a Celtics team, Pacers beat a fully healthy Cavs team right? That's the ESPN narrative at least.

But this is just not true. They like to push pace but they don’t rely on just that. They are a good half court team. They are 8th in transition fga and we have actually attempted more field goals in transition than they have. They are top in efficiency and scoring per possession but they aren’t relying on just that. They are a better pick and roll team than Boston. I’m not confident in KATs ability to successfully defend their pick and roll attack. They will look to attack the middle and spray out to shooters. They can go to Siakam in isolation and in the post. They can shoot and have guy who can attack the rim on a close out. They have depth on the bench. It won’t be easy. I still believe we have the better team and should win the series especially if we take it to another level and it’s possible we could with the way we ended the Boston series. Confidence should be very high and hopefully we continue building on it
