he was special special...I know I expect a ton out of him and he has been doing it in the 4th qtrs vs boston but I was waiting for his signature dominant game and he exceeded that. His high level shot making is unmatched in the NBA. Kobe like in terms of making tough shots look easy.

I'm cautiously confident for that series. They're more than Haliburton though. It's a strong team top to bottom. But we were in control before we lost OG and Mikal should also match up well with their guys.
If we're whole we should beat them, they have been playing well, but it's really hard to tell just how good they are considering both their opponents have been injured. What I do know is that the 7 game series would have been over in 5 last year if OG didn't get hurt. I would expect a big series from OG here, because they don't really have a matchup for him, Nembhard is too small, Nesmith will be on Jalen, Siakam is too slow.
The only thing I worry about with them is injury, and their whole gameplan is centered around getting Brunson tired by pressuring him full court the way they've done Mitchell.
I really don't want to get into strategy vs Indy since we aren't there yet but your like dragging me into this convo.
If Thibs is smart we put KAT on Siakam defensively....we put OG on Turner...and Mikal on Hali....so if they run the Hali/Turner pick and pop we basically neutralize Hali scoring ability with OG switching on him...and we take away the pick and pop 3 ball game because Mikal is long enough to deal with Myles Turner...if they want to eventually post up that matchup a lot I don't really care.
They probably will have to use Hali/Siakam P&R but Siakam isn't really a high volume or high eff 3 ball shooter (even though he's hitting them this year). And for the most part KAT should be able to stay in front of him and recover.
Brunson is strong enough to not mean Nembhard can bully him.
And Hart is a much better matchup for Indy than he is for BOS. Who is going to guard Hart on Inday? If It's turner...and then Siakam is on KAT...and they guard Nesmith on Brunson...so Hali either has to be put on Mikal or OG...which Hart and OG would be way too strong for him....would should be able to kill them on the glass. Even if we go with our big big lineup its going to creat some strong mismatches...I think in a lot of cases they will be forced to put Hali on Mikal...and then I would just spam P&R with Mikal as the ball handler...
here I went not wanting to look ahead and I did already...
KAT on Siakam is a good matchup, especially going from having to switch onto Tatum and Brown, it would be like a little vacation for him, and it should bog them down in trying to get KAT in switches with Haliburton while everyone else is just in a sound matchup.

That's what we should do, but during the season we didn't far try it, maybe Thibs will open his mind to that now that he's sampled what switching can do
I think we can really hammer them with the KAT/Mitch combo as well, the Pacers aren't a good rebounding team, and the Siakam / Turner frontcourt lends them to being exposed to Mitch/KAT. I'm more afraid of TJ McConnell than I am most of their starters
We can look ahead, we survived the Celtics best punch last night before Tatum got hurt.
