As poor as the Pacers have played this season (34-42) they still have a good chance of making the playoffs.  They are only 1 game behind the Orlando Magic for the #8 spot in the Eastern Conference and they are only 2 games behind the New Jersey Nets for the #7 slot.  The bad news for the Pacers is that they will have to do some damage on the road as they have 4 games left away from home where they are 12-25 on the season.
