What I just witnessed is a professional parallel to UF and Clayton. What a damn fine performance by the Pacers and Halliburton. Yeah, Nembhard is a damn nice player. But his "brain farts" at UF are merely a signature of Mike White's limitations as a coach. This is going to be a fun series to watch, unless the refs decide to muck it up. SGA played like the MVP, except the last shot. You need to play the game so that one shot going in or not is the difference between the W and the L. I haven't been that engaged by the NBA and a series in a LONG time. Maybe all the way back to the Lakers versus the Pistons and the Bad Boys.
This series might just turn into a really good set of games. If styles make fights…. The way both teams play should be entertaining. I’m hoping for seven games.
It’s fun reading The Athletic and seeing the Andrew Nembhard analysis. As @tampajack1 points out, he has become a top level NBA player. These articles portray him as one of the league’s top defenders, taking SGA with much help.
