which prevents Miles Turner from guarding Hart, which is an adjustment I keep waiting on for one of them to crack on who's guarding center, but we'll get there. So that's 14 combined pick and rolls defended. I actually think that that undersells the degree to which the Knicks went at Halliburton.

Cause I think they're missing some screens, but also like when he was on bridges, they posted up bridges a few times. They ran some off ball actions with Brunson and bridges that kind of flummoxed the Pacers and got some good scores on cuts and all that. Brunson,

had to defend 23 pick and rolls as the screener defender and 12 more as the ball handler defender so that's 35 compared to 14 for halliburton and as you said like it's not just halliburton like brunson really likes the nemhart matchup and is hunting that one too um so but i so i think that's indicative of like the knicks could dial that up a little bit but again offense wasn't the problem um

the who cracks first on the pick and pop center thing is another sort of mirror image matchup. Um, just like in the regular season matchups for the most part, Miles Turner guarded cat and cat guarded miles Turner. And, you know, the teams are still negotiating. How do we want to handle pick and pop jump shots? Um, For the most part, they didn't really do anything dramatic.

There was a few late switches here or there. There was a few times where the Pacers would send a third guy flying into Towns' vision or the Knicks would send a third guy flying into Turner's vision. I think both teams would be on the lookout for that. Both teams set a lot of those picks super high on the floor, like a lot of half-court picks to try to get the defense backpedaling and confused.

But I still think at some point, one of these teams is going to crack And the Knicks are going to put towns on Siakam or towns on knee Smith, or the Pacers are going to put Turner on heart, which again is more complicated because that means Halliburton's guards got to guard somewhere else. I think the offenses are going to like what I'm fascinated by which team breaks first in that regard.

And the last thing, uh, Robinson Towns, just seven minutes together in the game, plus 12 and seven minutes. I understand that Tibbs is probably like, we cannot put ourselves at a speed deficit against this team. But Robinson is such a monster on the glass against a team that is absolutely paranoid about its rebounding. Again, more Robinson Towns comes at the expense of one of their core players.
