denver doesnt have the depth to keep up with the tempo. the nuggets can slow games by scoring, but indy is unique in that they can run on makes, and that turner is stepping out to the 3. There is nobody for jokic to rest on defensively and that will hurt his offense.

The Nuggets would have beat OKC if not for MPJ's and Gordon's injury. I know G7 was a blow out but it was obvious that the team quit knowing they wouldn't go far without two of their starters healthy.

The Pacers are peaking, the Nuggets were not even in the games they won, also no coach and no bench, I think I'd take the Pacers.

The Knicks were the only healthy team the Pacers beat.

The Nuggets, Thunder, and TWolves all beat the Pacers in 5 or 6.

I'd pick the Pacers. Denver has the best player but Pacers have the better team.

I think the pace of play would eventually favor the Pacers. Nuggets relative lack of depth would take a toll in the long run.
