The Bucks' All-Star guard is likely to play in Game 2 Tuesday at Gainbridge. I still see the Pacers winning in seven games, but the challenge now is greater than ever before.
I’m not sure this goes 7. I had Pacers in 6 before it started but I also assumed a 2-2 after four. I’m no longer sure. I hate to overreact but it seemed like Carlisle was perfectly content to let Giannis dominate and foul him while shutting down the other four. IF Dame comes back they will relentlessly target a historically bad defensive player who won’t have his legs. And this team is so deep, they’ll just keep running in players and moving fast down court. I don’t know how the Bucks compete.
Can you explain the NBA rule on foul shooting lane violations? I thought if you stepped over line and touched the court, it was a violation. The Greek Freak did that almost every time while the Pacers shot the ball. Just wasn't sure if NBA has eased that rule like traveling.
Speaking of one assist and five TOs, that was Doncic's line. The game is a little different when teams decide to play defense, something they rarely do in the regular season which is pretty much 82 All-Star games. There is no doubt he's a great talent, but no way he averages a triple-double if teams didn't sleep walk the regular season.

I noticed that a few times too. Technically it’s a violation, but it’s like traveling. It’s only called if it’s fairly obvious.
Kinda feel when he steps in before shot and waits a second or two, it's obvious! :)
Ahem, the trade for Mel Daniels was the greatest. Pacers may have faded into oblivion without him.
