Pacers-Celtics: A Tale of Two Teams
Eastern Conference Finals Preview
Pacers Surprise, Celtics Favored
The Indiana Pacers have been the surprise team of the playoffs, upsetting the top-seeded Heat in the first round and the defending NBA champion Lakers in the second. Meanwhile, the Boston Celtics have looked like the best team in the league since acquiring Kevin Durant at the trade deadline.
The Celtics are the heavy favorites to win the Eastern Conference Finals, but the Pacers have shown that they are a dangerous team. They have a deep and talented roster, led by All-Star Domantas Sabonis and rising star Tyrese Haliburton. The addition of Pascal Siakam at the trade deadline gives them another All-Star caliber player.
The Celtics, on the other hand, have the most talented roster in the league. Jayson Tatum is a legitimate MVP candidate, and Jaylen Brown is one of the best young players in the league. The addition of Durant makes them the clear favorites to win the NBA championship.
The Eastern Conference Finals are sure to be a thrilling series. The Pacers have shown that they can compete with anyone, but the Celtics are the clear favorites. It will be interesting to see if the Pacers can pull off another upset and reach the NBA Finals.
