That really is a solid group of players. Hibbert not being a bitch and staying out of foul trouble is key

How were Rush and George's minutes split last year? Too lazy to look it up....

Rush played 26.2 minutes during the regular season compared to George's 20.7.

However, George played 26.6 minutes in the playoffs, while Rush only played 11.

Hibbert is the key to the Pacers. If he suddenly morphs into a Top 20 Player, which he won't with his asthma, along with George emerging as their third best player then they have a chance.

They have two legit scorers. They're going to be a great team.

The Celtics

Yeah, no they don't have a shot in hell, and its going to be a bitch of a rebuilding process. Rondo is a fantastic PG when you have talent around him, but is probably the single worst shooter in the NBA (honestly, would you take him or Dwight in the clutch at the free throw line?).

Heat will win it all. Probably win 50+ games out of 66.

The same core that played very well at the end of the season and challenged Chicago in the first round.

They're a top 4 team in the East, IMO.

relatively speaking, they'd have to win about 15 more games than they did last year to move into that spot. is David West worth 15 more wins? on a team that couldnt win on the road last year to save their life.

i dont know. 1st step should be .500

i see them as 6th or 7th best team in the east

Bulls won in 5.

They were 17-27 under O'Brien then went 20-18 under Vogel. Adding West will help if he is healthy. Gotta figure George will improve too. They would be legit if the trade for Mayo wouldn't have fallen apart.

5 games, but Indiana really could have forced it to 7. Just couldn't close out games.
