The NBA Playoffs have featured lots of seed upsets and new teams advancing to the final rounds. The Indiana Pacers check both boxes. Entering the playoffs, the fourth seeded Pacers faced an uphill challenge and have not flinched. They've marched through the 5th seeded Milwaukee Bucks, top seeded Cleveland Cavaliers, and 3rd seeded New York Knicks not even facing elimination. 12-4 so far with eight games on the road. This week they were led but Eastern Conference Finals MVP Pascal Siakam, who relentlessly pushed the Knicks in their two decisive wins in Games 4 and 6. Siakam netted 76 points (including 30+ in the wins) with 16 boards and ten assists. He added three blocks in decisive Game 6. The ten-year Cameroon native is a relentless best supporting player as he also won a title with the Raptors in 2019. He's the guy you want on your side and epitomizes the Pacers team play and is the Longhorndave Sportsman of the Week!
