Atlanta blew away Indiana recently, so this could be way more interesting than I expected the 1/8 to be in the East a month ago

Pacers in 6, I see Indy stumbling just a bit then bouncing back and owning ATL.

I've given my reasoning a few times on this forum but I will do it one more time. My guess is Hawks in 6. The Hawks took the Pacers to 6 last year and they have improved this year. They should have went to 7 games last year but the Hawks couldnt throw the ball in the ocean in game 6. Pero owns Hibbert and Teague will own Hill ifhe is aggressive. The Hawks and Pacers have faced off twice this year with their current starting 5's and the Hawks won by 10 and 19. Coach Bud will outcoach Vogel in this series. The two key factors will be if Teague stays as aggressive as he has been throughout April and if we hit our 3's. If we do both of those, we advance,

If I have to be honest, Pacers in 4

If this was a one game series...I'd give the Hawks a legit shot. They match up pretty nicely with the Pacers. But in a 7 game series, I can't see the Hawks being as consistent as the Pacers, even with the Pacers' recent struggles. Pacers in 5.

I'm going with the Pacers in 5 as well. If Horford was healthy I'd really consider picking the upset.

Bingo. I expect the Pacers to bounce back to their bread and butter in this series
