Can't wait! I consider them in the same tier as us and they seem to be pulling away. A win here would be amazing.

Same. But they have more experienced guys than us. So i consider them further along than us.

If the Magic play as they are trying to match Indy’s 3pt shooting it could be a long night like Nets game. If the Magic are drawing FTs then that equalizes things.

Good point and that’s Paolo’s bread and butter and I don’t see anyone on their roster to stop him if he gets going. If Black and/or Suggs can somewhat neutralize Halliburton (tall order), we could run away with it.

Only Boston and Chicago held Pacers below 120 points.
But we are also better team in transition than in half court, so i'm not sure we should take it too slow.

Tbh this is most exiting game of a season to me, so far.

I thought the Brooklyn game was going to be a good test and they failed it.

This will be the next big test to see how real the defense is against a great offense. Also, it will be interesting to see how the terrible offense does against no defense.
