They win one game in the ECF. That's the most that I'm gonna give them.
This is one of the strangest teams/situations I can recall from a playoff team. They are a 1 seed, but everybody on that team short of Lance and Scola have completely lost confidence. They hit the skids big time, are no longer good at home, and rumors are that there may be some infighting/infidelity.
All that said, I'm kinda sorta impressed how they've won every must-win game (or virtual must-win) so far this postseason--despite all the chaos around them. I'm starting to rethink my Heat in 4 prediction (although I still think Miami takes the EC). Anybody else willing to throw them a bone, despite their ty, outward appearance?

As Mr Gump would say, they're like a box of chocolates, imo...
They'll take the Heat to 7 if they get that far tbh. The loss at home would both be a ratings explosion and funny as .
I got a funny feeling about them when they cut Bynum. If Paul George didn't bang Hibbert's fiance, then that should help as well.
I could see them pushing Heat to 7 again.
Weird how they got rid of Bynum, who was deadweight, and now they look compe ive again..
They may make it interesting against the Heat, but thats about it. They had their chances to win but the in fighting ended it.
Bynum is a well known locker room cancer. I have no idea how that character developed, perhaps lack of going to college. However, its well known he is insane
Indiana is not going to beat the Heat scoring 85 points. Period.
Yeah..they're still a cute little team from Indiana..nothing more, nothing less..
He's still a child, tbh..he never matured..
They haven't played anyone yet. When they do I can make a better assessment.
Roguespls
Nah they suck. Too much iso ball tbh.
Fair point, and we really won't know till they play Miami (if they do), but I'm still impressed with them going 5-0 in must win games thus far, despite the avalanche of probelms theyve faced (most self induced, granted). They're a young teamsi lengthy series don't hurt them as much, and they always play the Heat tough.
What I'mgetting at is they might just be a player after all. We'll see tbh
mental midgets or playing down to their level of compe ion
if t hey approach every game like they are playin against the heat, it be interesting...too bad these are nigglets who just want to get paid doing nothin
I think they have a 50-50 shot at beating Miami. Mentally they already stronger considering they have bounced back from so many humiliating moments the last few months. Every time they should have gone down they still managed to survive. I think just as a team they have to believe things can not get any worse than what has occurred recently. They have already proven they won't go down easily. Miami has to go up 3-1 against them or else they will lose the series.
they would have got swept in round 1 if they were in the West.
Heat are a 10000000% lock to reach the finals
Heat in 5. Possibly 6.
rememba det time, Frank Vogel compared his team to the 2011 Mavs?
tee, hee
The east is so ty they will make it to the ECF, I don't know why people thought they would flake out in the 1st.
what is this 'holier than thou' revisionist history? Did you even watch that series?
The Pacers had to scratch and claw their way to a game 6 victory in Atlanta to fight off elimination. That was a game they were on the verge of losing. Not to mention Atlanta blew them the out in Indiana in game 1 and game 5.
rofl @ anyone who wants to sit here and say 'C'mon? You really thought the Pacers were gonna lose?"
Their biggest strength is they play great when their backs are against the wall. You have to step on their throats when you can. Think about it in the Hawks series they responded every time when they were in a hole. When they were down 2-1 they fought hard and got game 4 when it would have been easy to fold up. The same thing happened when they were down 3-2 they came out in the ATL with fierce determination to win game 6. They are a resilient bunch it will be hard to take them out if Miami is tied 2-2 after 4 games.
I thought there was a chance, but a small one. The magnitude of victories becomes irrelevant and Indy was the more poised to close out game 7. It does prove that they have a 0% chance against Miami though.
