Really... What are the Pacers chances?

[UK2K]

Of getting past Miami?
Of getting past whatever Western Conference team they meet if they were to beat Miami?

Now that Indy has been shown to be nothing special (as I said all season), what are they're realistic chances they make a run? I'd like to PG do well (even though he needs to destroy his electronics) and I want to see David West get a ring (cause the dude is 100% heart), but I just cant imagine them beating any team with a pulse in a seven game series.

5-7 in their last 12...

Heat are playing just as bad, so there's that.

They have been overrated since the beginning, but this is all reactionary. They are playing worse that their potential and there is no reason to think they wont turn it up in the playoffs.

They are having a shitty stretch. So is miami. Why dont you make a thread about the heat?

Shitty Heat > Shitty Pacers

Plus, I don't care about Miami making the finals nearly as much as I care about the Pacers.

They are playing bad. It happens. I doubt they will be this cold for long

Heat have actually been playing well against winning teams. The Pacers just flat out suck.

Hibbert waiting on the Heat so he can go prime Shaq on em.

Still bad basketball is bad basketball. The Heat lost to like 3 good teams in this bad stretch.

Not a big deal.

We'll find out Wednesday who is sucking more at this point.

Easiest road to the finals ever part three

The only chance pacers have is it PG sends more naked pics of himself and ends up blinding the other players on opposite teams...lol

Thank you, I have bee saying this ALL SEASON, even when they were really good, I never thought they could BEAT Miami. Good series, sure, but they simply do not have the offensive firepower to do so (and frankly its that simple).

To answer your questions. Getting past Miami? 30%. Winning it all? 5%

Championship odds (in %)

Miami - 25%
Thunder - 25%
Spurs - 20%
Clippers - 15%
Rockets - 10 %
Indiana - 5%

Wednesday night is gonna be fun. Right now, both teams are struggling, so I see Wednesday's game as huge. Whoever wins might gain a slight mental edge on the other team.

I do think that home court is more important to the Pacers than the Heat and it's the only way Indiana can beat Miami now.

[D.J.]

People are really slamming the Heat because they're a little cold now. They started hot and it was obvious they were gonna slow down at some point. Yes, home court to the Pacers is more important than the Heat. But keep in mind last year's Pacers team took Miami to 7 games. Assuming Indy has home court, they probably will beat Miami. But I wouldn't take them in a series against San Antonio or OKC, even if they do have home court.
