15. Indiana Pacers

Opponent: Cleveland Cavaliers 

For the Indiana Pacers, the talent is there but they just haven’t clicked all season long. Unlike other teams where their flaws and reasons for failure can be pointed out, for this team nothing makes sense.

Coming into this season, the Pacers were believed to be the Cavaliers’ biggest threat and had title aspirations. Thanks to offseasons acquisitions Jeff Teague, Thaddeus Young and Al Jefferson, it was pretty obvious why the Pacers were the trendy pick during the summer.

Ironically, the Pacers will be seeing the Cavs in the opening round. Paul George vs LeBron James again, just like old times.
