Yeah you're right.
I just looked at it, we are like 2 games out of 5th?
Looks very nice to me.
I hope we face Cleveland or Washington instead of Boston , since those teams don't have much playoff experience.

The East is really close now. A winning streak could move us up to 4 or 5, while a losing streak could knock us out of the playoffs.

I can't imagine facing Boston without Artest. There is no way anyone on our team could stop Pierce and Walker.

Yeah Jax can contain pierce somewhat, but walker would be hell for our pfs.

Jax is a good defender, but I don't think he's quick enough or smart enough to guard Pierce. If we do end up facing Boston, watch Austin Croshere start.

Yeah, I was going to say the SAME thing....Croshere will definitely be playing defense on walker.

Okay with the way Miami is playing right now, I wouldn't want to be 8th either.
If we could somehow get into 5, I'd be delighted, but if not, I'd be happy to play Detroit.

I guess we can finally say that there is only one team out of the playoffs right now that actually has a chance to make it, and that's Philly.
New York, New Jersey and Toronto are too far behind right now, and I don't see them being able to make enough ground by the time this season is over.

[daschysta31]

hopefully orlando will drop itself out of the race and give us some breathing room same goes for philly especially since we have semi tough schedule coming up.

[RP McMurphy]

The Pacers blew an opportunity to make up some ground on our opponents on a night when Philadelphia, Orlando, Chicago, and Washington all lost. With upcoming games against San Antonio, Detroit, Miami, and Chicago, we should have won this game. Fortunately, Philadelphia's schedule at the end of March is almost as tough as ours, so we should be able to hang on to the 8th seed.

And I'm definitely not ready to count out teams like New York and New Jersey that are less than five games out of the playoffs. It's unlikely that any of those teams gets in, but stranger things have happened.
