DJ Davis — loaded question lol Who will defend Dame? Who will defend Giannis? How much scoring will Hali need?Can Myles keep up his intensity and improve offense?How can the Pacers keep their energy and intensity the whole series? Thoughts on Beasley comments?3). JoshDo you think Myles will feed off of the Hawks game + ambitions to be back in playoffs and continue his hot streak? Does Haliburton look to score first instead of pass? (Depending on how the supporting cast of pacers are performing) I think if Myles + Siakam keep it up we good.4). Ry What will Giannis average FT attempts be? How do the Pacers fight through this incredible glaring bias against them? Why does Ty seem afraid to shoot the ball all of the sudden?5). DeJaun FosterI love Nesmith’s game!

David ColeWho do you think are the X-Factors for the series and what is the most important 1-on-1 matchup you’re watching? Also, what do you think goes right/wrong if the Bucks win/lose this series? Same for the Pacers.7). Abeas1During the season, Ty had very prolifc scoring games vs. the Bucks.

Chuck & Jamie5 major things have changed since we last played the Bucks: 1. No Benn Mathurin to punch back vs the Bucks’ physicality 2. Tyrese’s regression since injury3. No Buddy Hield 4. Addition of Siakam5. Nesmith regression from injuryWhich will have the most significant impact?4).
