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...

I honestly didn't even consider Thomas Bryant in my thought process for that reason, because I thought that... I just think that you have to switch a ton against...

Honestly, Zach, I wouldn't be surprised if they switch that action. Jared Allen and Evan Mobley have been switch happy all season.

I agree. I just think that Cleveland has more buttons to press and more options, and I like their depth more, and I trust their shooting more. I hit in my notes that Pascal Siakam is a huge player in this series, and whether it's an inverted pick and roll or whether it's sealing a guy in a cross match, I think that Indiana has to get easy points.

I wonder if Indiana will go way smaller than... than they have before, really.
