    2020 NBA Playoffs: (4) Indiana vs (5) Miami

    This series is a wash to me. Both teams are very erratic. It might boil down to Jimmy Butler vs TJ Warren, in which case I have to go with track record over the hot hand.

    prediction: in 6

    It wasn't about being the team everyone loved, it was about beating the teams everyone else loved.

    Another playoffs series against Miami, another loss. Rather lose to Philly or Boston.

        Erik is going to kill Nate with the second half adjustments. Hopefully we don’t play zone anymore

          I will wish for the best, but I just don't think the Pacers can handle the Heat mentally. The Pacers need a tough in your face guy like Butler. Some call Turner Softener here, but let's be honest, the whole team is soft. Sabonis is the closest we have to semi tough. I hope they surprise me, but they lack lock down defense as well.

            Any updates on Sabonis? At this point he probably won’t play cause he isn’t any sort of game shape.

              Pacers are winning two games max.

                Would suck to lose to heat without Bron Wade n Bosh. Two years in a row without our all star sucks more. This franchise has had some really bad luck the last ten years. Vic’s injury really sucks he worked his but off to turn into an all star and then has a very uncommon injury. Weird how the Reggie Smits teams even Jermaine teams hardly ever had let players get hurt around playoff time. Next year when KD and Kyrie come back the east will be 7 legit teams us included and it will be clogged at the top. Oh well

                  Hate to say it, but heat in a sweep. Five games at most. Very odd they extended Nate before this playoff series happened. Obviously intentional IMO, as the writing is on the wall for this series and would be hard to justify the extension to the fans after getting pummeled. Hope I’m wrong!

                    LOL, I expect the Pacers to win this series.
                    Go Pacers!

                          Haha..I was wondering why it was less annoying around here.

                          As far as this series I do not see how the Pacers win this. They have all their players and the Pacers do not. Heat in 5 or 6

                            Wasn't Sabonis supposed to return second round of playoffs?

                              I know it doesn't matter much but Pacers ended with the 4th seed.
