Pacers just have 5 guys who know how to play offense better. They all can create, drive and pass it. Thunder can't swarm on any one player.

That’s all I want.

But they’ve made it clear they have no intention of doing that. Again, we’re not talking about giving OKC 50/50 calls. We’re watching them actively allowed them to reach, grab, pull on every play, and calling the Pacers for absolutely nothing.

pascal at age 29 was basically a 32% 3 point shooter. the last 2 seasons, he is over 38%.

Cleveland is a regular season team until further notice. They have lost to the Knicks, Celtics and Pacers in the playoffs the last three years. They need to beat one of those teams when it matters before we give them props.

OKC crumbling mentally feels like. 68 win regular season record don't mean hack when you can't cut it away from home against an opponent that believes in themselves like Pacers are right now. Confidence on another level

I’ll give the OKC defense credit though: Haliburton doesn’t turn the ball over generally, and he’s got another rough game in that regard, with 4 already.

Definitely think it's both a reality and ego check. Play against the best paced team in the NBA ... with pace is asking for trouble

I think Minnesota/Denver were in the same tier as Indiana/New York.

Golden State, Boston, and Cleveland were injured.

Ayo Pacers fans, if you guys pull it off and Spicy P gets the Finals MVP we'll take a deferred first rounder for him.

Ask San Antonio we gifted them first rounders for 2 years after the Kawhi trade.

We'll see but I'm probably trusting the Pacers more down the stretch in a close game.

OKC is straight TRASH offensively. Amazing how such a terrible and one dimensional offense somehow won 68 games. :lol:

Overrated as hell defensively too.
