We don't really want to... We could obviously run multiple pick and rolls and get a switch that way or something like that. But we don't want to muck up our offense. It's beautiful. It produced 136.2 points per 100 possessions in the first round. But I'm just curious, just... how central Halliburton's defense will be in this series. So that's the primary thing I'm going to be looking at.

their past matchups. And particularly, I was looking at Miles Turner, who I consider to be a pretty big X Factor in this series as well. I've never been a huge fan of his, but he's played great, undeniably. And he was fantastic, I thought, in the first round. And obviously, his pick and roll with Halliburton is lights out and incredibly efficient.

But I'm just curious, watching him, how he can hold up defensively against the pick and rolls that Cleveland will run at him. He's going to probably be matched up from the start with Jared Allen, who is like this combination of... Wilt Chamberlain and I don't even... He's shooting like 99.9% from the field in the playoffs.

Just absolutely incredible stuff from him and his decisiveness on slips and rolls and screens and flipping the screen.

But yeah, I'm curious how can Turner keep everything in front of him? Because he's going to need to be... Like up. That's how he's played them in the past and what you need to do when you're going up against Darius Garland or Donovan Mitchell. So if you're up and Allen gets behind you or you have a rotation, low man rotation, like again, you're in rotation and that is when Cleveland is dominant.

And so... I don't know if this is like a blasphemous thing, but I'm curious to see if in this series, Cleveland will make Indiana do defensively to it what Indiana made Milwaukee do, which is we have to basically like switch everything. This stinks. And our big is getting roasted every single time. Brooke Lopez eventually got played out of that series.

And it's because it's just so difficult as a... I'm not saying Miles Turner's plotting. I think he's got a little bit of... He's not Brook Lopez right now, but it's a tall task for him defensively. So I think that his ability to hold the fort...
