If the Pacers want to take down the Cavaliers, they are going to need a total team effort. Cleveland is one of the deepest teams across the NBA, and they have the ability to give the Pacers some problems.

But Indiana is entering this series as a very confident group, and they seem ready to roll even with the challenges that come with playing Cleveland. Indiana took three of four games from the Cavaliers in the regular season, giving them even more confidence entering this series.

Two of those games were after Cleveland had clinched, but when the two teams were at full strength, they split two games. All in all, the Pacers feel very ready for this matchup, and they are looking to get back to the Eastern Conference Finals.

This series has the feel of a long one, and there will likely be ups and downs along the way. But in the end, the Pacers believe that they are the better team.
