Tobin didn't hold back when he gave his prediction on the Heat-Pacers series in the first round.
Sweep.
"Not Gentleman's either," said Tobin. "I'm not coming out here like Jeeves being all proper. I'm coming in here like a maintenance crew, hosing it down." Tobin followed that with him making hose noise
Leroy Hoard said the Pacers are too good for it to be a sweep.
Tobin proceeded to give various reasons:
• Heat have smoked them every time.
• No All-Star Demontas Sabonis.
• TJ Warren has plantar fasciitis, which Tobin said was an "interesting way of saying Jimmy Butler exposed him."
• Victor Oladipo has been a no show in the restart.
"Matchup wise, heath wise, what makes you think the Pacers can hang with the Heat," Tobin asked.
Tobin also brought up the Pacers height concern and it's very rare for the Heat to have a rebounding advantage.
"Nobody ever wants to call sweep," said Tobin, who then said the Heat in five is the "cowards way out."
"You want to say the Heat are going to dominate, but you want to leave some wiggle room. I'll put my onions on the table. Heat in four."
