Conference finals schedule

Here is the complete schedule and national television & radio arrangements for the Eastern Conference Finals. 

At one point this season, I thought the Pacers had what it took to win this series. They had to earn the No. 1 seed in the conference, which they accomplished.

But then they lost their edge, seemingly, toward the end of the regular season and at the beginning of the playoffs. They were darn lucky to get past Atlanta in the first round.

I'd have to say Miami is the overwhelming favorite to win this series and get to the NBA Finals for the fourth consecutive year.

I'm taking the Spurs in the West. --BF
