The Athletic NBA Daily
Knicks fire Tom Thibodeau

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.

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.

That works. The thing that's so interesting about Indiana is they're not a typical ball control team. Because they play so fast. Normally, a team that doesn't really turn it over is going to be one that plays at a slower pace and is going to be one that isn't going to try to be breaking all the time, isn't going to try to be cutting all the time. You look at the ultimate...
