Prediction
At the end of the day, it's really hard to make a case for the Pacers to win this one. I'll give them a game but that's pretty much it. Indiana simply doesn't have the firepower needed to hang with the explosive Cavs offense. I know some might point towards the regular season to say that the Pacers stand a chance, but all 4 games were played before the big trade was made by the Cavaliers.
Trending
They're a much better team now and even have history by their side. LeBron has never been knocked out in the first round of the playoffs and he's 20-0 in his last 5 first round matchups. Expect James to run over them just like he did last season.
