Every year when the NBA playoffs roll around, we hear about “adjustments” and how important they are.
But are they?
Danny Schayes thinks so. The 18-year NBA veteran and Sheridan Hoops columnist believes that over the course of a seven-game series, even the best teams have their warts exposed and have to find ways to limit their exposure.
In this video with Cinesport’s Noah Coslov, Schayes discusses what adjustments need to be made by the Oklahoma City Thunder and Indiana Pacers, the higher-seeded teams who lost Game 1 of their conference semifinal series at home and now are facing a virtual must-win situation.
For the Thunder, they have to find a way to control Clippers All-Star guard Chris Paul, who ran wild in the opener.
For the Pacers, they have to find a way to energize Roy Hibbert and neutralize Washington’s unexpected advantage in the frontcourt.
