Unless there's an all-time mismatch coming up, the Pacers don't pass the smell test.
Just like I can tell whoever comes out of Cavs and Magic are food against the Cactics, I can tell the Pacers ain't ready.
Dame was playing through a major injury. Giannis wasn't even available. Doc Rivers was the coach.
A team that's an actual contender packs them up in 4 and that's it. The Sucks took them to 6 games. If they're not comfortably handling that level of competition, what could make me think they're ready for New York?
