Beating the Heat in the Finals would be the sweetest. But losing to the Pacers would be more tolerable than losing to the Sixers, Heat or Celtics.
Its at least possible and though the networks would hate it I'd love it.

No one in the east has a chance against us. The winner of the WCF will win it all.
East is bad, but Pacers aren't nearly as much of a pushover as some people think.
Gotta get through OKC first. WCF is the real NBA finals this year given the injuries to players in the east.
I agree.
Celtics, too, wouldn't be a walk in the park. We'd still win in about 6, but their D, experience and number of HOF'ers, would make it a real series.
That said, the 4 biggest threats to our le (in order) are:
1. Thunder
2. Potential Injuries
3. Potential Injuries
4. East Champion (whomever)
No thanks that would be a lame championship series. I want a healthy Boston!
The Celtics can play us pretty tough too. They're no free lunch.
But neither a mangled Heat team nor a healthy 76ers team really put much fear into my heart. The Pacers would be a quality team, but shouldn't be a match against us in a 7 game series.
Without looking past anybody, it's obvious that the winner in the west is the clear cut favorite to take the whole thing.
I've been waiting to see Spurs Vs. Boston since 08'. If we're both healthy the series would be in instant classic. They're tough, experienced and well coached. Also the match-ups our intriguing. Duncan and Garnett in particular.
For that matter, even if the Lakers were able to somehow come back, beat OKC, beat San Antonio and make it to the finals - they'd too be the clear cut favorites. And they look like .
Spur fan sets himself up for disappointment by looking past these remaining rounds.
The Celtics will make it to finals perhaps win it all too.
Yup I think a healthy Celtics will give us a run for our money.
IMO Celtics, Pacers, Heat, 76ers are the toughest to the least tough East opponents for us.
Not that any of them would be easy.
