Understatement.

Hopefully Nesmith can get healthy. And if you get a few games of Thomas Bryant and Toppin going off, they have a punchers chance. They aren't going to be able to smoother SGA like they did Brunson, his size and the refs aren't going to allow it. Pacers will also not have the benefit of a KAT-level player being a no-show as OKC is more consistent. Carlisle is a coaching advantage though. Should be a fun series.
Thibs limiting Robinson's role in the second half was so strange as he was dominate on the offensive glass tonight.
