OKC struggling to score but I don't see how Indy is gonna stop Shai

OKC should force Indiana into a post up, with small guys guarding bigs, kill their offensive flow.

I'm ok with down two. If this first ten minutes is any indication, this might be a great series!

SGA + defense--->offense might be enough some games.

NO they don't. Size matters always has. Cason who I like is like 2+ weight classes down that's too easy

They have other players. Like 14.

Yeah but I don't see a good match up or even decent he either has size or height or both.

OKC's defense is pretty awesome matchup for this team. Gonna need a LOT of Siakam to have a chance.

I know the Pacers don't play their studs as much as other teams, but I would try to get Siakam's minutes into the 40s. They have no one else they can throw the ball to late in the shot clock. OKC has too many guys for Hali.

I do think the odds are wrong Pacers are legit super fun to watch too.

As a neutral watching fingers crossed its a competitive series.

Also my man love for Chet is unbound

Holmgren? He does have length and mobility.

OKC is not defending Pascal correctly. They need to watch Eastern teams and how they defend Pascal. They are right to use a smaller guy, because you need quick feet to stay with pascal. They will need some help defense though from the side or back.

The Pacers are turning the ball over more than they are shooting it feels like.

Just atrocious.

This defence is insane

OKC's defense gives them a big edge over the Pacers....defense wins championships

Pacers don't have that reputation of being an elite defensive team

SportsGuru08 · Post #555 » by **SportsGuru08** » Fri Jun 6, 2025 12:57 am

That's the second backcourt turnover already. Get your s**t together, Indy.

If OKC eliminates Hali from the game like this, don't see how the Pacers could win.

Hali’s playing right

Of course as soon as I say that
