The Pacers still have to win this game, let alone the series, so let's not get a head of ourselves looking at OKC match-ups.

I think Dort and Chet are the key. Dort has to disrupt Hali and Chet has to guard Siakam and also be a great help defender.

I don't think Chet's length will be enough to compete against Siakam's strength and skill, and so that could be very promising. I worry about Dort or whoever is guarding Hali.

Nobody's been able to permanently slow the Pacers down for long stretches. I like to think the Pacers are resilient enough to keep it clicking, even against elite perimeter defense like OKC has. If they can, I think the Pacers should hopefully have a 50/50 chance to win (i like to hope better). If not, well, it was a good run.

You're getting ahead of yourself here, we gotta beat these Knicks.

"Knicks have not gotten any calls this game. Refs are home cooking!!!"

Knicks 32 FTA, Pacers 22 FTA.

Definitely not but to miss a call on one end that led to a missed dunk, rebound for the pacers then call 2 fouls that were bad calls, then a legit call on KAT, and a questionable call on Hart…. That moment right there was a possible 4+ point swing and got the Pacers in the penalty

Diversity quotas have to be at least part of it.

Caruso will be huge.

I see him giving Hali and Siakam hell at times.

Fire Thibs in the offseason if Knicks lose? Game 1 + 2 was the killer.

Knicks showing yet again that they do not belong here

I do think Knicks through 3.75ish games look like the more talented team at the top, but the Pacers aren't that far off, and overall they're way more cohesive. If KAT and Jalen aren't dominating it feels like everything's just chucking for New York, but Indiana is creating for everyone.
