I had Indiana and Boston playing in the eastern finals.  Boston went down then I had Indiana picked to win the east. 

OKC I agree is the favorites.  I won't be one bit surprised if Indiana gives them a run for their money.  I've been very impressed with Indy since the first time I watched them in the playoffs.  I'm very high on this Indy team. Idk what it is, just been impressed with them.  I'd kinda like to see Indy win the thing  ;)

I haven't seen tons of Pacers games, but I'm just hoping for a good series with some close games after most of what we've suffered through so far. 40 point blowouts by teams who eventually lose the series (i.e., Timerwolves vs. Thunder) aren't good for the game. Neither is three games in a seven game series being decided by 25+ (see also: Timberwolves vs. Thunder).

Just worry that the Pacers won't be able to score enough to win. I know that they score a lot of points, but that doesn't always mean running great offense or winning lots of games. Will be interesting to see if Siakam is able to score off of non-set or broken plays; they aren't going to run offense through him, but if he can clean the glass and do his best modern day Rodman, then Indiana has a much better chance.
