I'm not trying to exaggerate this, I just honestly believe that Pacers are around the toughest team we will play in the East. Yea, Wizards are perhaps a bit better. But Wiz, Bucks, Raptors, Hawks, and Celtics are all around the same level imo.
Not to say we won't have lapses and drop games here or there, but if we sweep the Pacers, we are in really good shape. We will probably see the Wizards, but I don't believe any of those teams are much better than the Pacers. The West is a different story. But if we can get a lot of rest, it could give us a big advantage.
