    Now, this series belongs on NBATV.

    I'll give the Hawks a couple of games, unless Indiana suddenly finds their mojo again. Larry Bird couldn't have known he would destroy team chemistry by trading now-a-sixth-man Danny Granger, but destroy it he did.

    While the Pacers struggled down the stretch, this is a perfect team for them to regain their form against. The Hawks may be one of the worst teams to ever make the playoffs and the Pacers should exploit that. Pacers in 4.

    The Pacers win the 1st 3, Hawks players vote to forfeit game 4 but face threats to be contracted from league out of principal if they don't show up for game 4.

    The Suns take their place. The Pacers finish off the Sun Hawks in 5.

    If a major upset was to occur in the playoffs, Pacers are probably the most likely target. They haven't been playing well since the all-star break.

    I'm going to bet this will go 6 games or more.

    The Eastern playoffs are garbage. I hope Dennis Schroeder explodes. He will always be my hero for squeezing Cousins' nuts.

    That would be cool but I doubt it. I'm expecting a Pacers blowout today.

    Atlanta has 5 guys on the court capable of hitting 3s, a perfect counter to defensive oriented teams.

    As long as the Atlanta front court continues hitting open 3s, Roy Hibbert will be taken out of the game defensively.

    The media doesn't understand that this is a bad matchup for the Pacers. Even so I think Pacers will pull it off, well they should anyways.

    The way the game is going, Atlanta looks like to continue of the tread of stealing home court today.
