In this episode of 3 in the Key, we debate which Eastern Conference squad—the gritty New York Knicks or the high-powered Indiana Pacers—would’ve been the tougher matchup for the Oklahoma City Thunder. With the Pacers officially headed to the Finals, we break down the upcoming OKC vs. Indiana series: key matchups, X-factors, and which young core might make history.
Then we zoom out to tackle a bigger NBA trend—are we witnessing the end of the superteam era? Do you actually need a Big 3 anymore, or has smart roster construction and depth become the real cheat code to a title run? Tap in and weigh in.
