Full credit to the Pacers: Going 3-1 against the Cavs is an impressive feat. They way they were able to pick apart Cleveland in the regular season should give fans of LeBron some pause that this series may not be super easy should it happen.

But his Cavs team has a new look. They are even more potent on offense and don’t suck any more on defense.

And they still have LeBron. He’s been to seven straight finals for a reason, and until someone finally dethrones him, he gets the benefit of the doubt. The Pacers should hope they can avoid him, and the Cavs, for as long as possible in the postseason.

Prediction: Clevland in six.
