The Indiana Pacers and the Chicago Bulls tip off the NBA playoffs this afternoon at the United Center.
If the Pacers are going to shock the NBA and sneak a W out of the UC in one of the first two games, this is the one to get. A lunch-time crowd, expecting a Bulls' blowout shouldn't be as boisterous as usual and if the Pacrs can play well that crowd should be more apt to be taken out of the game.
As usual, we're hoping the Dr. Jekyll Pacers show up and give themselves a chance to win the game in the fourth quarter.
Playoffs! Let's go!
Here's the Pacers.com preview.
