Fred Katz and Eric Nehm discuss the most interesting storylines of the upcoming Eastern Conference semifinal series.

Get your Sony Discman ready, because this is so 1990s. The and are ready to play each other in a playoff series for the first time since 2013. What was a regular occurrence in the ‘90s, when these two squads faced off in six postseason series over eight years, is happening again. Advertisement This one will be fun. The Pacers, which downed the 4-2 in Round 1, are hoping to move onto the conference finals for the first time since 2014.

Despite their differences in size, all three of them attack defense the same way under Rick Carlisle in Indiana. All three players will crowd Brunson as much as possible with Nembhard and McConnell likely picking him up with full-court pressure. The Pacers spent the series against Milwaukee pressing its ballhandlers full court.
