The Pacers are just really bad without Oladipo. The C's can't keep shooting 1-7 from downtown in the next series. They gotta be upfront physical and play excellent defense.
Uh, no. Offensively, sure, they're a middle of the pack offensive team without Dipo, yet they're still a top defensive team without Dipo, which can sustain close games in the playoffs.
People aren't giving the Pacers enough credit, especially with as well-coached as they are and with the character and intensity that they ALWAYS play with.
