    I Think I Know How This Plays Out Now....

    ....the way the Indiana Pacers really struggled this year their last 30 games of the season and being down 14 points going into the fourth quarter against the Atlanta Hawks - if they lose game 1 of this series they most likely will be upset along with Toronto in the Eastern conference.

    There was some stat on ESPN that said teams who enter the post season in the NBA at .500 or worse in the second half of the season have only won the NBA finals once since 1950 - that was the '95 Houston Rockets.

    As a result, I expect the Chicago Bulls to take on the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals. Remember the battle tested Celtics made the eastern conference finals vs. the Heat two seasons ago as a #4 seed I believe. So this scenario isn't crazy by any stretch.


    Place your future bets now.

    Most likely won't play out this way. Any team in the NBA can have a hot shooting night (even the suck ass Hawks), Pacers losing this first game is nothing to get alarmed by. They will clamp up and still win this series. In a best of seven format, it's tough for a team like the Hawks to stay hot for more than three games.

    Pacers still win the series.

    Hawks are not good, but Pacers are what you see. Forget about November, December rand January. They are what they are right now, and it's not good. If they do get by the Hawks, the Bulls will beat them. Heat vs. Bulls looks right.

    Well how do you explain the Pacers record and lackluster play since the beginning of 2014?

    They had such a huge lead and was guaranteed to make the playoffs already. You think these guys care about what their record is at the end of the year? Hell No, they just care about making the playoffs and going for a championship.

    Mirror as in opposite. Check out the difference in records over the past few months. Pacers are a mess, don't play together and are not well-coached. Bulls are the opposite.

    Come on man don't be fooled by records. Bulls & wizards are very evenly matched and if the bulls can't find the basket then......
