East much stronger now with Boston, Miami and Toronto stepping up to compete with New York....good luck. Pacers strength lies in their teamwork, but probably not enough to win the East.
The Pacers are officially ready to run it back after losing in Game 7 of the Finals, and after Haliburton’s Achilles injury:
Tyrese Haliburton
Kelly Oubre Jr.
Andrew Nembhard
Pascal Siakam
Ivica Zubac
TJ McConnell
Aaron Nesmith

KJ helped the Spurs win vs OKC in game 7 by hitting 2 key 3s in the 4th quarter, but generally came up "short" vs the size of OKC and the Knicks. He is the heart and soul of the spurs and kicked ass during the regular season and vs Wolves in some games. He is worth 15 M/ yr
@SpursLegion whereas Collins is the better rebounder, RUI is the better scorer. Rui may be a slightly better defender. Maybe the Spurs can boost his rebounds.
“He seems to be one of those guys that knows exactly who he is, how to embrace it, how to star in it”
