Just a thought, and this could be completely off buuuut....Pop is a smart coach. Pacers are dwindling away their home court advantage. I really think whoever has home court advantage when Heat meet the Pacers in the East conf. finals will win. You think Pop and his Spurs want to meet the Heat again after last year (assuming Spurs win the west)? Could be a crazy theory but i wonder if Pop will lose this game on purpose or "rest up" as he calls it, so that Indiana can keep their grasp on the #1 seed in the East.
You're really jumping the gun here as the East is not clear cut and defined as it was prior to the all star break or new year's.
I still believe in Miami's ability to win games. But even they are extremely vulnerable... because tyey actually lost pieces from last year and teams got better while they didn't really change. Pacers looked dominant because everyone else was just shapign up and getting into form. Now the league has caught up and the Pacers usual flaws are really starting to show badly.
Toronto is a completely terrible match up for indiana and they play extremely well on the road. Chicaog knows them inside out and is not scared to play them. Pacers lack play off experience despite the fact they feel they are due for a finals appearance.... nah. Biggest dark horse.... well they're not really a dark horse anymore since they're playing to their potential and still got more room to improve is Brooklyn. Brooklyn home or away could take out Miami or Indiana.
As for tonight..... it's really hard to bet against the spurs especially knowing that obvious weaknesses in Indy's armor.
spurs beat out the grizz last year in the playoffs. And the Grizz were just as good if not better than Indy with a brutal bang you out grind you down defense. It just seems that no matter what game plan Indy has for them they'll be ready for it..... and I think they spurs are hell bent on winning a chip this year because they will they had it locked last year.... And they remembered that the pacers crushed them this year in San Antonio..... since all star break spurs have been crushing everyone including top 8 teams in the league.....
Quickly go back 2 games when they played denver at home and had a 20 point in SA. Denver rallied back in the 2nd half and San Antonion almost blew that game. After that game they played Denver in Denver.... they treated that like a revenge spot and abused denver by over 30 points.... didnt let off the pedal once.... dropped 130+ on them..... hard for me not expect that performance from them tonight even if Indy brings their A++++ game and effort. They just dont have the 4th quarter execution or scoring to hang with San Antonio IMO.

Even with the B team playing a majority of the game the line should still be -6.5 at minimum. Spurs play team ball and no matter who they have out there they still move the ball better than anybody else and get good looks at the basket.
The line might give the game away..... Gonna be looking at how the total moves closer to game time....

Easiest bet of the season I only wish I parlayed it with the under. Keep fading the Pacers they will get the 2nd seed and get knocked out by the Bobcats in the 1st round.
