Unpredictable playoffs give scrappy Pacers hope

So why shouldn’t the Indiana Pacers believe they can beat the Bulls in Game 5 tonight at the United Center?

This season, the NBA playoffs are resembling the topsy-turvy NCAA tournament.

‘‘Yes, it does look like the NCAA tournament, where the best teams or the teams with the best record are not winning,” Pacers forward Danny Granger said. “So it’s good to see some surprises in the NBA.”

In the West, the eighth-seeded Memphis Grizzlies are up 3-1 on the San Antonio Spurs, and the seventh-seeded New Orleans Hornets are tied 2-2 with the Los Angeles Lakers.

“I always thought Memphis was an underrated team, anyway,” Pacers forward Tyler Hansbrough said. “But I’m not comparing us to any of those guys because they’ve all won a lot more games.”

The last 5 times we've played the Pacers, we've been plagued with turnover problems and poor shooting.

It would be REALLY nice if we have one effing game where we turn the ball over no more than 10-12 times and shoot close to 50%. No way in hell they beat us if that happens, because the Bulls have won the rebounding battle and played better defense. The problem is that our offense has been so bad, it's made our defense look bad (turnovers and missed shots will do that).
