I don't understand any of the rules of this stupid tournament but I'm pretty sure the Finals should just be Celtics/Lakers anyway so let's win this thing even if it's fake.

Karalis's podcast today was a joint effort with the Pacers guy, who had some good insights:

Turner struggles against Zinger and Al
Haliburton will likely play as this is a big stage for him, some national attention. Holiday has been successful against him though.
Pacers are a young team that sometimes loses focus when the shots stop falling, thus their poor defense.

Pacers are averaging 129 points per game, what a wild #. Haws are at 123. Mil 121, and Phi 120. No one else above 120. We are only 116.7 but with best point differential.

We are better but at home with a Vegas trip/500k per player on the line, they are going to try to run us out of the gym.

Should be an interesting game.

Jaylen Brown gets a nasty dunk... next time he touches the ball he jacks up a horrible 3

No Jaylen, this is why youre bad.

More offense w/ the ball in White's hand and JB off=ball needs to be a focus the rest of this season when Tatum's on the bench

You can see how this could be Jaylen Brown's game. Lots of space and he's just so strong in transition and going up to the rim. He's so good at that it sometimes gets him in trouble when he tries to knife through 3 guys because, sometimes, he can finish through 3 dudes in transition.

Hauser isn’t just a serviceable defender. He’s a legitimate good defender. He’s been so good this year.

It'll be KP with White/Brown when he comes back. Changes everything they can do.
white-KP pnr w/ brown off-ball feels to me like the preferred option

This. I would be surprised if he doesn't get 30+ this game.
