Does really feel like this is the most balanced team we’ve seen in a long time. Tyrese is definitely a star as well as Siakam/Turner but none are really top 10. Their depth has been the difference maker.

    Halliburton, Siakam, Obi Toppin, and everyone else plays defense and is unselfish too. Rick Carlisle is a great coach. And OKC’s stars aren’t as experienced with playoff basketball. They’re more talented and obviously will be the favorites in a game 7 at home. SGA might go off and score 50. But winning the regular season in the NBA is way different than winning a 7 game series against experienced players who have been there before. Even the refs make different foul calls in the playoffs.

    I have high expectations for OKC and SGA is the best player in the league but this Pacers roster is kind built for playoff basketball.
