How Deep?
DEEP?
We play 6 players. Indiana plays 8 players.
Our depth is completely a non-factor unless a player literally is unable to play and is sent to the locker room. Otherwise 48 for DDV, and mid 40s for every non IHart Mitch player.
we beat indy in this game with NO Mitch or OG as Sham reminded us:

Huge asterisk on that W. Hali was on pace for nearly a triple dub.
Pacers were up 4 pts halfway through the 3rd quarter, they subbed Hali out with 5:50 left in the 3rd (he was on a minutes restriction?) and sat him the rest of the way despite it being a very competitive game.
Knicks haven't beat the pacers this season with Hali playing starter's minutes. Yes Knicks team was different, but the Knicks were blown out both times with the Pacers averaging over 130pts against us....Hali picked apart our defense, averaging 17.5 assists alone in those 2 contests.
If Thibs' plan is to straight up cut the head off the snake, the Pacers may not even win a single game against us. Siakam doesn't scare me.
However, if they let Hali run wild.....this will NOT be a fun series for us, and their role players will all look like Teenwolf.
