But if the Thunder switch those pick and rolls and they have the capability of being able to do that, especially if it's like J-Dub guarding Siakam, and you have Dort guarding Halliburton, you just switch that. That's no problem. Those guys are switching partners. And now all of a sudden you're making Halliburton have to go one-on-one. That's not what they want. They want Halliburton on the move.
They want defenders on the move. They want cutters. I think this team is uniquely positioned to be able to switch pick and rolls against those guys. OKC will cross match more than any other team in the league. Probably they're very willing to do it. If they do a lineup where they have, say, one big on the court and

J-Dub could guard Turner and Hartenstein could guard Siakam or Hartenstein could guard Neesmith and they just sag. Like there are ways that they could just try to figure this kind of stuff out. It's just different from other teams that they've gone up against because they might just want to try to switch that pick and roll up the middle. And that is such a bread and butter play. for Indiana.

It's such a way that Indiana causes rotation, and I think OKC is going to try to keep itself out of rotation with the guys directly involved in that sort of play, and I wonder how the rest of the defensive matchups get configured because of that.

I don't want to give you a prediction, but I will. I'll I think OKC is the better team. I think OKC has been the best team all season. I'm incredibly impressed with the Pacers run. They're playing amazing ball and I don't think their defense gets enough credit. Offensively, they're obviously awesome, but I think they are way better defensively than people say.

The guy is... It is unbelievable to be able to turn 15-assist, no-turnover games into your brand. Ich meine, auch Nikola Jokic tut das nicht. Es ist einfach etwas, das wir als etwas in Basketball nicht wirklich gedacht haben, das wir gesehen haben.
