    You underestimate the $hittiness of the east. As gimmicky as the pacers are, they'll probably get to the WCFs.

    I will guarantee that they will not get to the WCFs.

    The ECFs would be good, though.

    John Wall gotta step it up. The matchup is tailor-made for him to dominate.

    While he is faster than Teague, you do not have to respect Wall's perimeter shot nearly as much, and that makes a huge difference. Plus the Wizards never have a "5-out" lineup like Atlanta did, so if he does get by his man, Hibbert or West is going to be there.

    I do not think Wall has ever had a dominant game vs. Indiana. This year in all games, regular season and postseason, he has never once shot well or scored to his averages.

    what a terrible game... both teams look awful plus Doris Burke's voice... ugh, guess it's time to switch back to the NFL draft.

    The Pacers are arguably the worst #1 seed in Eastern Conference history. If they make past ECF, the NBA is going to be a 4 game sweep... I cannot see this putrid offense and a team that can't even look like a competent team against Atlanta and Washington.

    Why specify Eastern?


    Has there been a worse Western Conference number 1?

    Why has Washington played so horribly? 54 pts with 6 min left in the game? Jeez.

    And that was against an all-time great championship quality team ... I wonder what Washington's excuse is?
