if that's the route they go things will get extremely ugly for them. They have literally no size, not 1 7 footer(Turner is 6'11), next biggest guy is the revolving door on defense. I see OG roaming around off his man tonight, Mitch on Turner and whomever is on halliburton should do everything they can to push him into the teeth of the defense.
Turner has to have a great series for them to beat us. Our bigs certainly don't like to stretch out to the 3 pt arc...my guess is the games Turner is hot from 3 is the games Indy will have a good chance beating us. To the point Thibs should look into playing precious at the 5 in this series to help with there bigs that like to shoot when our 2 centers really don't want to go out and guard.
I think NDOS mentioned when the playoffs starting when Indy was a potential matchup that we might be better suited with ihart or mitch guarding Siakam (not a good shooter). And then have OG on Turner...so that if they run that 1/5 P&R with Hali/Turner we can either hedge that and OG is quick enough to recover. Or just have Hart on Hali and OG on Turner and just switch that screen everytime and that limits what they want to do.
I kinda like that idea with OG. I do think our bigs can manage Turner as well since he's not a threat to come into the center like Embiid was. Turner's either gonna be inside or out. As others have mentioned, Precious should be able to handle Turner as well.
On offense, I'm wondering if we'll see a bunch of Mitchell Lobinson. If these bigs help on Brunson the lob should be there all day. For iHart too.

Home cooked turkey burgers, Nathan's fries oven baked, with a side of bbq chicken tenders (homemade).
Or
Teriyaki chicken and vegetables over garlic mashed potatoes, salad on the side.
Burgers man … not even close
Done. I was contemplating the healthier option but I'll also be sipping on something so you're right lol

Id rather put him on Siakam it Hali...imo they're bigger threats. Turner is good but he's not all that imo.
He dresses like a bootleg Pharrell Williams. I actually kinda like his eccentricity but since he plays for the Pacers...phuck him.MrDollarBills wrote:mpharris36 wrote:god shammgod wrote:

They are really trying hard to revive the old KNICKS vs Pacers rivalry from the 90s. The only problem is most of these young guys weren't born yet or were infants, so they don't remember it or even care about it.

I think we can manage those two with our other guys. Our problem with the Pacers has always been if they get going on a 3 point barrage and their bigs are usually the catalyst. If we shut that down I think we can shut them down.

Our other problem was having key personnel missing when we played them. No disrespect to them, but we are a far cry from a Giannisless and hobbled Dame Lilliard Bucks team.
I think Siakams size , length, and athleticism make for a very tough matchup versus our 6'4" overachieving defenders....but I guess we'll see how it all plays out.Capn'O wrote:RHODEY wrote:Capn'O wrote:

Turner isn't Embiid..he will likely go off one game from 3 .. true..but Haliburton is the head of the snake.You stop him and I think they fall apart.Capn'O wrote:RHODEY wrote:Capn'O wrote:

I have us pretty heavily favored but it's how to use that personnel. Shutting down Tobias Harris last round basically suckered their main guys into rope-a-dope. IMO, shutting down Turner could have a similar effect.
