Because the Pacers have been on a funk, I think it might take them a little longer to win the series. Pacers in 6.

Feel free to post your thoughts and series prediction here.

[rogues]

The cute little team will win in five games..

damn, Nono one of those niggas that gets Christmas shopping done early.

Regular season is pretty much over, and that's the one series that's a lock... let's get the ball rolling...

[apalisoc_9]

Indiana in 6.

[HI-FI]

Pacers in 6 sounds reasonable. East is such a clusterfuck, plus I think the league wants a Pacers-Heat ECF. It will be interesting though to see if Nets continue their late season surge, if Bobcats can shock anyone, and how Heat will do, if they're coasting or in fact on the last legs of their Biogenesis PR tour. I could see some upsets in the East.

[Gummi Clutch]

ATL in 7.

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

Indy sweeps

I could see ATL winning a game or two. Gotta have some faith in 'Bud.

[timtonymanu]

Indiana in 5.

[Bulaien999]

Indiana in 5.

[ambchang]

Indiana in 5, 6 max.

[313]

If ATL was healthy I'd pick them to win the series tbh but Pacers in 6

[urunobili]

Indiana in 7

[The Gemini Method]

I think you'll see the return to early season form by the Pacers. The playoffs will get the sand out of Hibbert and George's vajayjays and they'll come to play. Atlanta is pretty much the team that would've been 42nd in the Western Conference but by the stroke of geographical luck, they call the Eastern Conference home. Pacers take this in 5 going away.

If for no other reason than to see Media & Bird running thru Indianapolis with their hair on fire I'd love for Atlanta to step through here.
