With the exception of Tony Mejia of CBS Sportsline--and an unsigned commentary in Sports Illustrated--national basketball writers agree. The Nets will prevail over the Pacers in Round One...although say it more directly than others. The list includes: Marc Stein, Chris Sheridan, Greg Anthony and Chad Ford of ESPN, Sean Deveney of Sporting News, Kevin Loughery of NBA.com, Steve Kerr of Yahoo! and the anonymous denizens of Dime Magazine. All say the Big Three will get bigger.
