had a bunch of really poor defensive players.
But when their focus has been on, they've drilled teams. Even in the 2nd loss they had to Atlanta they were up 26 or something like that, and then just quit playing and couldn't pick it back up after that. They won't lack for focus in the playoffs. But man they rode LeBron way too hard all season long. At some point his tank has to hit empty. I think it is really important to try to finish off the Pacers in 5 games at the most. LeBron hasn't lost a first round game since 2012, and even in the few series around that time when he didn't sweep the first round he only lost 1 game. If Indiana pushes them to 6 or 7, it can't bode well for the rest of the playoffs.
