Yes there is..

A team like the Pacers who went further
Than they did, OKC, I believe last year and has less to prove then OKC who has all the pressure in the world to get it done.

Pacers are THE more dangerous team

Nah, the best team is always the most dangerous team...that's OKC.

Where your statement holds true is that the Pacers are the most dangerous team to OKC's title chances because they come closest to being able to match OKC on both ends of the floor.

Minny, for example, could match or come close to OKC on the defensive end of the floor, but couldn't get very close on offense.

The Pacers can match OKC's offense and can match their defense in spurts.

The problem for the Pacers and what will ultimately cost them the series is that OKC doesn't play their defense in spurts...they play that defense bell to bell.

Denver was the most dangerous team to OKC because they had the best player in the series at a position OKC sometimes has a tough time defending.

Pacers are very good.

But they aren’t winning this series barring major injury for OKC.

Wait a sec. Seriously. Up to now I've figured your posts are a game, where you pretend to be an idiot for attention and to have fun getting tlance to try to argue you down.

Are you for real calling Halliburton 5 times better than Jokic? You have to declare if this is more messing around, because if you're serious you might get banned from the NBA forum.

But there is nothing that can happen that will change the fact that OKC has been the best team all year long. They are the best team.

Is Cleveland the best team in the East, when healthy?

The pacers are my new favorite team to watch. I thought defense was dead in the NBA but the Pacers proved otherwise

List your superstars for me.

Right now?

Jokic, SGA, Giannis, Luka and Tatum for me

Curry and LeBron are still in that line because of their legendary icon status even though their play isn’t quite there still.

I would take Boston then Cleveland
Boston at full health I agree. Tatum injury means he is not likely to make it back next season. Is new ownership willing to be the highest luxury tax team with no Tatum?

Full strength Boston might be the only match with OKC on pure talent. It will be interesting to see the long lasting impact of the Tatum injury.

Strictly talking about this past season with healthy rosters

You are right though, Boston will be interesting to watch this off season.
