1. Pacers need to add muscle/enforcer to make next step and this is a playoffs type of preview. Carlisle has coached physically tough teams before. It’s good for them to run into such a physical non finesse team.
2. If anything Pacers got beneficial calls in first half…but you are not going to get any officiating benefits in second half vs Lakers with something on the line. Not how the NBA has ever worked. You have to outshoot them substantially like the Nuggets did last year to take whistles out of equation and just take it from them with zero doubt.
