Please don't make the same error as KATs Wolves last season did. it was always about Denver Denver Denver. And as they got past them... it all fell apart.
This year, all the talk was how to beat Boston. forget this and focus on the Pacers completely. otherwise they will run us out of the gym.
Every series we've played in since we got Brunson it's been a dog fight to get us out of the playoffs, nobody has beaten us convincingly like 4-1, 4-0 etc, no matter the injuries we've had. The team that beat us last year is one that talked a lot of ****, they're going to get theirs now that we're healthy.
The only team that scares me is OKC, largely because of the way they're officiated.
If the Pacers beat us, I think it's in no fewer than 7 games. But I'm optimistic we beat them this time around (in 7).
OKC's offense looks horrific, but like you said, they're allowed to play rugby will Shai flops around on offense.
I think the Pacers lose in 6, there's just so much history of slower teams dragging fast-paced teams into their battleground and turning it into ugly possession basketball. Then again, we controlled pace against them last year and were putting up an ungodly amount of ppg despite being injured

Man, **** Indiana.
