Every year around this time my college basketball hangover swells to it's peak and I'm desperate enough to watch a few NBA games. During the regular season I'm nowhere to be found but by the time the conference finals arrive I'm usually starved for competition and the players are actually playing some defense. Growing up in Indiana I saw scores of Pacer games. I watched Michael, Magic, Larry, Ewing, even Shaq as a rookie. So to see the Pacers in the hunt is nostalgic for me. Chances are I'll be tuning in tonight to see if they can take a 2 game lead over the villainous Heat.
