I feel like the difference between these two teams, because they're so well matched up. I mean, they don't have a Shea, don't get me wrong. I think Tyrese and Pascal kind of go off back and forth as being the guys for the Pacers. But in terms of being matched up out on the floor, they're pretty well matched evenly.

Where I think the difference is, is how they play the different zones out on the floor. And we know OKC has tremendous perimeter defense. We know that Indiana's interior defense, the way they guard the paint, is significantly better than OKC. And this is where I'm like, who can take advantage of the zones that the opponent can't guard as well? So I'm looking at OKC, one, transition.

Indiana doesn't guard transition as well as OKC does. Can they do better in transition? You're talking about the half court. Can OKC find a way to get their perimeter shooting going? That can be Lou Dort. That can be J-Dub. That can be anyone, really. Let's be real. Kenrich Williams. You go down the roster. Wiggins, Wallace. Anyone can go hot from three.

It's really about the consistency of taking advantage of those zones for me. And if I'm looking at OKC... There's more evidence in their series against Denver of their inability to be consistent in taking advantage of the half court, as you mentioned. I'm not even thinking about taking away Shea.
