Competitive?

:roll: :roll: :roll:

This Indiana Pacers team might be a successful regular season team in today's era but there isn't a single player that you can pencil in 20+ points a game withoout 'Dipo. The bottom 4 seeds of the east have no chance of getting to the second round.

Meanwhile in the West, the Thunder, the team that the Nuggets face, and the 4-5 matchup has a chance of getting to the Conference Semis.

Pacers in 6

C's in 5. We'll probably give em the old gentleman's sweep and let them have a game, but this should be easy overall.

[Smoke117]

Celtics in 5. With Hayward back in form and no Dipo this should be an easy series for them.

wouldnt be surprised by a sweep

Pacers are frauds without Dipo. That defense will get them regular season wins but their offense is bout to get exposed in a full series. No chance they look anywhere close to what they looked like against the Cavs last year

Portland has been playing well, but they're of course vulnerable without Nurkic, though I see CJ is back. I'd say they're the home team (probably will be home) with the best chance of losing in the first round. Denver is tied with Milwaukee for best home record, so I don't see them losing in round 1.
