I would not be surprised if it’s an OKC sweep.

I think it’s more one-sided than Denver vs Miami back in 2023.

The Denver series was OKC maturing before our eyes. I expect them to roll in this series in five games.

That said, there's a couple things Indy could exploit. Number one, they don't turn the ball over. In their two regular season matchups, they had 11 and 13; that's manageable.

Second thing, OKC's swarming defense typically leaves certain guys open to overload on someone. Even with a down shooting series against New York, they're around 39% as a team during the playoffs. They have a lot of guys who can knock down threes.

I hope this is a six or seven game series because both teams play uptempo and it could be wildly entertaining.

Probably should limit double big they like to run.
Pacers dont really shoot corner 3s or many at all, thats good we like to force teams into those.
Gotta get back in transition.
Probably should consider dub on siakam
Gotta take Haliburton out of the game it'll make them play 1 on 1 offense which they dont like to do.

Basically Gotta take their best attributes away

I wanna see how old boy defend SGA

They did a good job on Brunson.

Turner should feast in this series.
