Not that I believe this will be necessary but the Pacers have the tiebreak against the Pistons. All I am saying is that the Pacers will either have a better or worse record than the Pistons. I dont think they will tie but it is a good thing to have nonetheless.
This Team could contend with the West, and i just noticed how cocky Jermaine O Neal is, but i like that, He says he deserves consideration for MVP if his team makes the finals, and i think they will, they are the best in the East, and continue to prove that night in and night out.
