Like I mentioned, he's been more effective as a movement shooter than what you would have seen in the past. He does more of that now that Buddy Heald isn't on the roster. So I think that's two of them. And then just for Nembhard,
I think he's been the best defender on the Pacers for two seasons now, but he's taken that to an extra even, you know, he didn't, he didn't average enough minutes and games to be qualified for all defense, but I think he's an all defense caliber defender.

Yeah, if you would have asked me this question during the regular season, I would have been like, the Knicks aren't really capable of playing the type of defense that limits the Pacers the most. And the Pacers aren't really capable of playing the type of defense that limits the Knicks the most. And now both have kind of adjusted that in the postseason.

So the Knicks have done a lot of switching against Boston. And that worked for them through the first four games. And game five, they did a lot of switching. And this is not me trying to...

denigrate Jason Tatum at all but because they didn't have Jason Tatum the Celtics had to rely on a lot more ball movement in that game and the Knicks switching was harder because of that there was a lot more ghost screening a lot more Spain actions and this is a team that didn't switch all year they're not really used to having to navigate all of that so once the Celtics were moving the ball more the switching became a lot less effective for them so I think

Using that game as a guide and we'll see how game six goes. I think that bodes somewhat in the Pacers favor because they're the number one passing team in the NBA. They're going to move the ball. They don't isolate a lot.

So if they're going to be switching, it's going to look a little different than what the Celtics were doing in the first four games with, you know, some of their offense, you know, becoming a little bit catch and hold with Tatum on some of those isolations where it became easier for OG on an OB and Mikkel Bridges to be loading up on some of those actions.

It was harder for them to do that in game five when the ball was moving for Boston. And that's how the Pacers prefer to play. So I think defensively, it could be a comfortable matchup for both teams. I'll put it that way.
