There was ample reason before the season to pick the Pacers as the favorite to come out of the East. They took Heat to 7 games (game 7 on road), but have since gained a year of experience and improved their team in the off season, while the Heat lost Miller, have become complacent, are now the oldest team in the NBA, have a confirmed health risk in DWade again, and likely won’t have home court advantage.
What amazes me is how the media were rooting against the small market Pacers, by scheduling so few ESPN/TNT games, including none on ABC (the Lakers/Knicks/Bulls Network).
