The Pacers are OVERRATED.....they've been OVERRATED for YEARS.....I have keen insight and know the game better than most. Indy's recent SWOON was in the "off'ing for quite some time....I am the ONLY person I know who predicted it.....I'd love to contact all the peeps who wagered on the Pacers to win the Larry O'Brien trophy this year......silly rabbit(s)....
Now, that's not to say they won't cover the 7-pt spread.....they just might. However, too many people are back on the Indy bandwagon since they've played well in all of THREE games!!! So what they displayed glimpses of the team that played at a "decent" level throughout the season,,,,I don't think it's such a big deal (although those peeps who despise the Heat and/or love the Pacers would beg to differ).... :o) I do know whatever Indiana "hoopla" exists is primarily driven by the Pacer-faithful...
Under NO circumstances would I EVER trust that FRAGILE Pacer team.....if there's a professional team (no matter the sport) that desperately needs a psychologist at their 'beckon call, it's Larry Bird's Indiana Pacers....
Good luck with THAT one guys!!!! :o)
