Vote: Pacers and Mavericks make it interesting


The NBA playoffs may yet produce two titanic series between top seeds in the conference finals, but at least Reggie Miller and Dirk Nowitzki helped ensure fans will still be awake to watch them.

The first six games of the second round produced virtually no drama and lots of speculation about four sweeps. But that all changed Wednesday night, when Miller's Pacers and Nowitzki's Mavericks stole home-court advantage from the Pistons and Suns, respectively. Will it matter? Or will Wednesday's upsets merely postpone the inevitable? Vote on the outcome of each series.
