Pistons still have to play hard. Monday's game is in the past and no matter how much we won by it's only one win. Indiana's goal is to get one game at the Palace and they still have a shot at it.

Well last game I finally saw a pay out after a bet for the first time since my glory days. Hopefully I can keep up my luck and the Pistons can keep up there play. I say keep up the substitution pattern, there's no harm in it, if the bench isn't producing we can always just take them right back out anyway.

Almost gametime... about 5 minutes till...

[Austin Kent]

The corn rows look good on Sheed. I forgot he used to rock those in Portland. Nice three to, Pistons on pace for a shut out. And now Hamilton cans a long duece
.

[DetBNyce]

Sheed opens with the braids and 3 pointer. Rip comes down and nails a 15 foot J.

Tinsely feeds O'neal for the layup.

Sheed hits the fadeaway. 7-2 Pistons

Well no more shut out but Pistons hit again, 3 for 3. Sheed's got 5 like 30 seconds in.

[Austin Kent]

Block by Benny on Jackson, to a dunk by Prince. The Pistons have come out of the gates looking confident and the Pacers just the opposite. Carlisle calls time out.

[DetBNyce]

We've come out great on both ends. Tay and Ben combine their defensive talents to lock down Jackson, and then Prince gets rewarded with a dunk on the other end.

Timeout Pacers.

[DetBNyce]

Prince coming out strong is a good sign.

[Austin Kent]

Tinsley wide open for a three, miscommunication somewhere. I don't like it. He missed though...but Jackson didn't on the other hand. As I type this Prince scores again.

[DetBNyce]

Chauncey with 4 assists in the first 4 minutes.

[DetBNyce]

Pacers making good on their promise to get Reggie the ball. Rip should play him to the left when put in those iso situations.

[DetBNyce]

Dale Davis in early foul trouble again.
