Indiana 35, Detroit 22 with 2:56 left in the first half.
Larry Brown is getting exposed. This'd be right up there with him screwing the pooch last year in the Olympics.
Detroit's offense the last two times down the court consisted of Ben Wallace shooting free throws.
There is something worse than 4-down . . .
i love 4 down
and 5 down
Half-Time
Pacers 42
Pistons 28
They're going to have to install new backboards before they can start the second half.
its still not a good idea to hate on detroit
i want to see detroit own miami so bad
miami is like the phoenix of the east...
I think Detroit is the team that matches up best with the Spurs. If they can get ousted, the Spurs chances increase.
Agree TIMVP, the only team that scares me is Detroit, with them gone, it would be semi smooth sailing.
Granted, the Spurs have to beat Seattle, wich looks quite a bit tougher than it used to
A Fie on it!
The only thing that comes close to scaring me is the one
the only
the Fat Daddy.
Lets give credit where credit is due...Indiana is outplaying Detroit at the moment. Foster is a beast under the boards. Hamilton is basically out of this game with a bad calf muscle. They're having to rely on Ben and Chauncy right now for their points. But it's only halftime and no need to get over confident right now.
Yes lets.Quote:

Congrats to the palace floor for screwing up Hamilton's hammy, and limiting the Piston's offensive weapons.
no give credit to the pacers who are right now dismantling the pistons.
yes let us all Credit the mighty 3 point shooting Chauncy Billups and his recently acquired 2nd team all defense status
ugh, now that i think about it, i dont like Detroit much either....mostly cuz of Chauncy
I think some of you are on the right track about Detroit, but it's foolish to say that Miami wouldn't be every bit the matchup that Detroit would be for us.
I could easily see both Nazr and Rasho becoming ineffective against Miami
And see them becoming very handy against Detroit
it all hinges upon the 2nd team all defensive prowess of chauncy
Man didn't Linsdey Hunter's block look familar? Made me think of that block on Reggie last year in the conference finals.
I think Chuck Daly wears the exact same suits he did when he coached.
Indy needs to keep up the intensity and not run out of gas
I think right off the bat I can tell you the disadvantage of having to guard Rasheed wallace is a big one.Quote:

BTW, this lead is down to 6
It's shaping up like game two last year. It's going to be an interesting four minutes.
Indiana is toast.
playing stupid, Detroit is rolling,
BTW
Reggie Miller is choking ala Brent Barry.
nope, Miller unlike Duncan hits free throws when needed. Indy is hanging on right now.
only one thing to say...Boombaby!
you dont even know who says that.
Reggie w/ The nice O Foul
Wow, Detroit played like crap in the last few minutes. I thought they were the defending champs!?!?!?
HAHA. Wow, Pistons giving a gift to a team they should kill. Detroit deserves this loss!
Yes I do stupid, "Slick" Leonard from the Pacers radio.Quote:

Det is my Finals pick (to lose to SA of course) and they will win this series, but man! They looked like a CBA team out there tonight. LOL. They will bounce back, but MY GOODNESS!!!! That was one of the worst games I've seen inm a while (minus Game one SA v. Den)!
Pacers were dead in the water until Reggie drew two fouls. Nicely done.
LOL I cant stand Reggie!!!
(would love to see him in a Spurs jersey though!!! :))
Pistons are in a dangerous hole. Next game will be pivotal, 3-1 or 2-2.
Rip Hamilton for dumbest move of the playoffs next to Glenn Robinson's shove????Quote:

What is funny Ive been to more Pacer home games than you.Quote:
Yes I do stupid,
so dont give your malarky on how hard core a fan you are.
Pacers are playing tough. What game will have the bench-clearing brawl?
38% shooting by Indy and like 35% shooting by Pistons. The problem with the Pistons is that they go on these offensive droughts (much like the Spurs). On paper though, they seem to have the best starting five outside of Pheonix.
insert Spurs in for Pistons and you would be right oo.Quote:

Yes, Indy ran out of gas as I thought they would. But what helped was Reggie's clutch free-throws, along with Fosters and not to mention that stupid foul by Rip Hamilton on Reggie late to foul out. JO basically did the same thing a few minutes earlier....Quote:

Coach Brown is complaining now about how Indiana won the game from the free throw line and how Reggie pushed off on that last minute jump shot.
Pacers should consider trading Artest next year. Clearly they can do just fine without his no-good, rapper wanna-be, thug-self.
Detroit looked confused in the fourth. Larry Brown is overrated.
yep, last night's big fuckup put a lot of pressure on the Spurs for Game4, and I'm sure the Sonics will be ready to pile it on.
pooh I thought you said your team was gonna get an a$$ kicking???
Good to be wrong??
Spurs will win!!! James made a big mistake opening up his mouth!!!!!!Quote:
