Knicks or Nuggets — More Concerning Comeback? Plus, Game 1 Breakdowns, Steph’s Run, and Stopping Jokic with Richard Jefferson

He doesn't have that, that big athleticism, but he does have the strength. He does have the strength. So when we look at OG, the thing that makes him unique is as you're trying to drive by him, he can veer you off his, off your path. into a lesser percentage shot, right? That's what makes it, that's what makes, you can still shoot up over him, but the crossover in front, he stays there.

Think Ron Artest. Ron Artest, big, strong perimeter. And when he starts to move his body, if you're here, you're not going through him and pushing him. You can go through McDaniels. You can go through Bridges. You can't go through Ron Artest the same way you couldn't go through OG.

I don't think overlooked. I think they're looked at properly. They're a very good team. They're locking down defensively. They have depth. They have shooting. They're another team that depends on their shots and their pace. They depend on that. They're not a team that you would say, if this game goes in the 90s, They have like the Knicks. They got the game if it goes in the 90s.

I would think the Boston Celtics, they are a team that needs to play with more pace and more shots. They need to wear you down over time. But I think the Pacers have been a very good team. They've been building success. They have a superstar. They have depth. They're well coached. They've got a great home court advantage. But you're still looking at where they're slotted.

No one is going to say, I won't say no one. It's hard to say they're better than Cleveland, that they're better than Boston, that with the Knicks. I don't care about what your record in the regular season, because it's different when there's no back-to-backs, there's no travel, there's no four games and five nights. We have the same amount of rest, the same amount of prep.

It's talent versus talent. And so do I think they could? Yes. Would it be surprising? A little shocking, but it wouldn't be like this, oh my God, who is this team? We know who they are. If they do it damn well, they played well. If they do it, they played very, very well. They played to the maximum of their capability where we think Boston and Cleveland can play good and still make it.

this might cause, because making him a passer doesn't work. Making him a score doesn't really work because even when you're making him a score, you're naturally going to have to gravitate him to slow. You can't just, it's not like you're going to go one, let them go one-on-one. It's more, you have to show a wall and he's so great late at passes that even doing that's great. What I would say is,

With Jokic, and he's in amazing condition, I would always have pressure on him at all times. If he inbounds the ball, I would kind of remember how they would guard Shaq, where it's like, you're not meeting Shaq at the free throw line. You're not waiting for Shaq. You have to start touching his body around half court to slow up his momentum, or else he's going to get too deep.
