Indiana may sweep the Heat because they would dominate in the paint as the heat are weak up front. Don't see the Pacers sweeping the Hornets as they can play some solid inside/outside ball when they are aggresive and not lacking mentally. Also cans see Sir Baron and the Hornets winning atleast (1) at home where they have played very well of late.
i think they have a legit chance at doing it - honest. to me, though, G1 will be the toughest one for them since the pacers will have been off about 2 WEEKS between games - and their is a great chance rustiness could set in. this will be the closest game of the series i do think for that reason.
the one thing that helps them is Mia/NO are not very good teams. if NO wins - what a huge coaching mismatch - carlisle against floyd. then again - ANY coach against floyd is a mismatch.
what pushes me in favor of a sweep is the pacers know nj/det will be going at it in a long series (don't let G1 fool ya - this series goes at least 6) and the quicker the pacers dispose of Mai/NJ - the more than can rest for what will be a rough, nasty, physical series for the right to get their asses kicked by the western winne.
AT MOST the pacers will lose one game (G3 is the one) but superior talent and a desire to win one for reggie miller wins out in the long run.
pacers 4-0 with G1 and G3 being close games.

well gee, lets see, i predicted they would sweep the hapless Celtics, and they did...
I think we have a better shot to sweep Miami then New Orleans, cuz Miami just cant score.....
But we can definitely sweep either of these teams.....My only fear is being rusty that first game back, but luckily it will be at Conseco, and neither of these teams will come in and win at Conseco......

I may be the gambling fool that started all of this sweep talk with the Spurs. Yes they have the #1 seed, tons of timeoff, which is key this time of year. A better deeper roster vs a tired team, 4 or 5 seed, brutal 7 game homer series. Neither matches up with Pacers at all. Pacers very good on road. You can keep the buck. Best Wishes...OF
