GG Knicks. Pacers just played harder tonight and they bothered Brunson enough to frustrate him into a bad game. Hopefully their pace and relentless defense can match the Thunder. Their emphasis on ball movement can also counter the Thunder’s blitz defense. The Thunder could smother Jokic and Ant forcing them to rely on unreliable teammates, but Hali will just pass it out and their team offense of moving the ball around can hopefully counter it. And they can also apply the same smothering defense on the Thunder.

Lmfao they forgot to interview Hali. I agree Siakam deserves the mvp, but they could’ve at least gave Hali the mic for a bit.

Knicks just less deep at the end of it all. Siakam is the dark horse but I think JDub will match him well. Hali is the best PG in the finals. Will be interesting to see how Thunder make him actually turn the ball over somehow.

Yeah it will be interesting to see if Hali can take on the pressure defense. Also, OKC’s guards are bigger, so not sure if guys like Nembhard and TJ can do the same pesky defense they did on Brunson.

OKC has the players who will reduce Hali's effectiveness. OKC matches up well with Pacers. They play better defense. Are more physical inside.
