That is an offensive team that says we want to exceed in randomness. We want to cut and then cut and then cut some more. And it is a defense that says we want to exceed with randomness. We want to jump passing lanes. We want to swarm. We want to be constantly communicating. We want to get back on defense just like you want to get back on offense. We're going to have...

some sort of crazy response to Pascal Siakam leaking out on 18 consecutive possessions like he's going to try to do, or Obi Toppin trying to top that and leak out on 72 straight possessions.

It's just going to be a fun, really fast series, even if the pace isn't fast, like just the pace within the half court on both sides is going to be so, the decision-making, you have to make so many decisions in such a short amount of time, both teams. I feel like it strategically is just going to be an incredibly fun series.

And I woke up, and he told me the Pacers won. And I had to guess how the Pacers won.

The first thing I would guess would be, okay... Indiana's an elite ball control team. Right. They finally, they were the ones who figured out how to play at a fast pace offensively against OKC without turning the ball over. Because OKC's defense is turnover centric. They swarm, they'll gamble, they foul a ton. Part of the reason that they foul a ton is because they're just gunning for steals.

They're gunning for takeaways. They're gunning for frantic, just to make... Just to make passing lanes as uncomfortable as they can possibly be. To make driving lanes as uncomfortable as they can possibly be. And they have faith in their communication. They have faith in their quickness. And they have faith in their schemes that they're going to be able to recover back out onto shooters.

The other thing is OKC gives up a lot of corner threes. They don't do it because they don't value the corner three. They give up corner threes because you kind of got to give something up. And they put themselves into rotation a lot.

Pacers are really good at getting good looks on corner threes when they get out on the break. They're really good at getting good looks on corner threes. And like Aaron Neesmith hasn't missed a corner three since 1989. So if you've got Neesmith hitting corner threes, you've got Siakam, who was really hot during the conference finals, hitting corner threes because they're moving that fast.
