Questions
The Indiana Pacers look to advance to The Finals over the defending champs Miami Heat and finally exorcise their lackadaisical demons that seem to creep in at the wrong time. This team was built to take on the boys from South Beach, but you just never know what team will show up. Will we see Roy Hibbert play like a 7-footer or a 5-footer? Will Paul George return to MVP-form that he displayed from earlier in the season?The Miami Heat have coasted throughout the playoffs. It is hard to gauge a team that has not faced any challenges in an under-performing conference. LeBron James has carried this team in similar fashion as his old Cleveland Cavalier teams. Those teams could not get it done in The Finals when it counted. The Pacers will be the best team they have faced this postseason by far with their size and talent and fans should not overlook their impressive road record this postseason. Can LeBron continue to rally his team to victory? Will Dewayne Wade be able to hold-up in a physical series?
