The playoffs are a whole different animal compared to the regular season. Nonetheless, what works for a team in the first 82 games, will be exactly what works for them in a 7-game series.
My point is, this; do not try and reinvent the wheel when you enter the playoffs, and do not overthink things just because of the magnitude of the games. There’s a reason the Pacers are in the playoffs with a chance to knock off the King’s Cavs.
So please Nate McMillan, embrace what this team is, play to those strengths, and rely on the blueprint that past Indiana teams have relied upon to beat LeBron’s Miami squads.
