Something I’m thinking about the series if Halliburton is out from an OKC defensive prospects

[BigJay]

So OKC has been using Dort and Caruso on Halliburton a lot.

If Halliburton is out that means defensive aces Dort and Caruso can focus more on other players, and maybe make a key Pacers “the others” guy like McConnell much less effective.

 

[BigJay]

McConnell might not be as effective anyway since guys like him usually thrive in off the bench scenarios

Increasing his minutes substantially might not be the best of things for the Pacers, especially if he has Dort and Caruso all over him wearing him out physically

Exactly what happened G7 when Halliburton

McConnell was great in the 3Q

Was worn out by the 4Q

It’s what usually happens when one of “the others” has to play a role that’s different from what he usually does with extended minutes

OKC did play the best ball they deserved to win it all. All year
