    The Pacers are such a mess. Good disappearing acts between Hibbert and Stephenson.

    HAHAHAHA Pacers are getting punked by the Heat. What are we apologizing for? Pacers barely got by sub500 Hawks and 5 seeded Wiz. Blazers would've beaten those teams. And we beat the Spurs once. Just like the Pacers have beaten the Heat ONCE. If the Pacers were contenders, so were the Blazers. You're not a true fan and I am mocking you for saying these Pacers were ever any better than the Blazers. The Rockets would've swept the Pacers.

    He's gotten many comments on this and hasn't responded to any of it. That is a prime example of... well, you know.

    Yeah, I mean we beat a 54 win team. Without HCA!! Indiana hasn't done anything remotely as impressive. I guess he refuses to see reality.

    That full court steal and dunk in the 3rd quarter was like watching a great HS senior against the JV team. I felt sorry for the Pacers and the rest of the NBA on that play.

    I only watched part of the first half. My god the Pacers are a stupid team. Great athletes. Dumb players.

    Yeah, it ALMOST makes me miss the bad boys who would've put LBJ on his ass more than a few times.

    All i know is Paul George is preparing for game 5 and LaMarcus Aldridge is hanging out at strip clubs with Dave Chappelle. Seems to me that one of those guys plays for a contender and one doesn't

    The Pacers won 2 more games than the Blazers in the East, and went to 7 games with a 38-win team. They are now getting hammered by Miami. They may be in the ECF, but they sure don't look like a contender to me.

    The Pacers were 18-12 against the West. They are a 'contender' only because they play in the weak East.

    I wonder how the Blazers would've done in the Eastern conference, and how the Pacers would've done in the Western.

    Not saying it takes away from anything you or king are talking about, but it got me thinking/wondering. The Pacers seem to be a ghost of a team now (again), but they've gone through that in each of the series so far. The only problem is, they're not playing crappy teams now, they're playing the 2 time defending champs.

    Furthermore, based on their win%'s against each conference, if the schedules were flipped, the Blazers would have been a 58-win team and a #1 seed in the east, and the Pacers would have been a 53-win #5 seed in the west.

    Someone who has more interest in doing this, should find out what the Blazers record would be in the East, based on their respective records vs the E and W.

    Maybe it won't matter (and since I don't really want to take the time to find out, rep points to whoever does!)

    The Pacers are contenders because they are in the east. They would be in the Clipper catagory if they were in the West. But that doesnt really matter since they aren't in the west.
