Here are my sleepers.
Watch out for the Pacers if they can get a certain amount of chemistry going heading into the playoffs. This team should be Conference Finals material with their current roster if healthy. Jermaine O'Neal, Peja and then you got the 2 headed monster PG duo of Jamal Tinsley and Anthony Johnson, stellar rookie play off the bench from Danny Granger and Sarunas Jasikevicius, Fred Jones off the bench who's getting 10 a game. Croshere can contribute come playoff time. And Pollard and Foster are adequate down low. This team is stacked.
Out West, I don't see any upsets in terms of series upsets. I think the Lakers will give a run for the money in the first round but fall short. Denver might do something but clearly San Antonio and Dallas are the better teams, probably Phoenix too. Phoenix's small ball and lack of Amare will be their doom in the playoffs against teams like San Antonio and Dallas. Phoenix should be able to beat everyone else. I'm a Clippers fan and I hope they win the West but again, unlikely.
