Just how good are the Pacers?

[brisbaneman]

I saw they took out my boys, and they are routinely taking out the West's elite...are they good enough to beat Miami or Chicago in a series?

[Pharcyde]

They're a solid team that plays hard. But no, they could not beat the Heat or Bulls in the playoffs.

I could see them upset Bulls, but no Heat. They match well Bulls.

Cant beat the Bulls but would definitely beat the Heat in a 7gm series

I have long been saying that West is one of the most impactful players in the league. Long ignored by the media. He's not putting up the stats because Collison's more worried about winning then piling up assists to the easiest catch and shoot in the league (let me explain, midrange big men shoot 47% is truely outstanding but mainly it opens up even better looks and Collison is letting people work those looks instead of just giving it to west for the easy assist if he makes it and no punishment when he misses even if it doesn't always help the team), but his impact and the way he demands attention from bigs in positions where they can't help the D has really turned this Pacers squad around. Not to mention his leadership.

David West is the best FA acquisition of the year, the Pacers record speaks volumes about how underrated he has been

Yes I think they'll get it, especially with the Hawks injury issues. Them and Philly will battle it out though.

Nope. The Bulls were struggling at the end of the year and had injury issues which caused their offense to suffer. The Pacers have gotten a lot better, but the Bulls have as well. If they meet again it will be another Chicago win decisively.

Pacers and Sixers are both playing good but I just don't see it. If the Bulls injury issues keep rounding up then who knows though. It could be a weird post season with a lot of the star players getting gassed from so many back to backs.
