This feels like a toss-up, therefore I see the value in the dog.
Knicks have the bulldogs - they’re gonna be hungry and fierce. They want revenge.
I’d much rather have Carlisle than Thibodeau, even though neither coach excites me a ton. However, edge to Pacers.
Bench Strength. This is the difference maker for me. More important than the bench’s offensive production, I like the fact that the Pacers have the bench strength to never let their guys tire on defense.
Should be a fantastic series - like the mid 1990’s!
