The Pacers are the sleeping giant of the NBA. Artest and JO are scary good and I'm sure our favorite psychopath will be on his best behavior this year. They stole Granger in the draft and the Euro guard is on of the most dangerous pure shooters on the planet. Even without arguably their most important player, they were no easy mark in the playoffs last year. I think they have a very real chance at winning it all next year and the Pistons will need to either sign Finley or have one of their three young hopes step up in a big way (Darko and Dos Los) to beat them next year. That, or Mount Ronny could erupt again. That would work.
