Pacers In the Playoffs?

The Indiana Pacers have not made an appearance in the NBA playoffs in quite some time now.  This year, they are back and they made their debut today against the number one seed in the eastern conference, the Chicago Bulls.  As heavy underdogs, the Pacers played very well the entire game except for the last five minutes or so when they blew their lead.  They ended up losing even though they led all but about two minutes of the game.  As a Pacers fan, I was extremely disappointed.  However, I was happy to see the Pacers fight hard and I look forward to seeing what they can do in other games versus the Bulls in this series.
