If you ask me, having a good to great start is a key in this one. This is potentially Reggie's last game and an elimination game for the Pacers, so they should come out full of energy and adrenaline.

Should be a good battle, a rare commodity in this series. Im lookin for Sheed and Tay to come up big and for Arroyo to have another good performance off the bench.

I'd like to see signs of Rip rounding back into form. These past couple of games have been tough for him with the injury and all, but I'm hoping to see some progress in his game as well as Tayshaun.

[Austin Kent]

I'm on break from work right now but have to go back for 8 o'clock. I'm taping it!

[DetBNyce]

Taking forever to start...

[DetBNyce]

Well we haven't avoided the fast start by the Pacers. Knew this was coming...

[DetBNyce]

I'm not too worried. I mean we are down, but with the way Indiana is shooting I'm suprised we're only down 7. I don't think they'll keep up the hot shooting in the second half. In the second half it's up to us to match their intensity and keep playing ball. We're in a good position.

[Copper]

Well, get ready for game 7. Tay is having a invisible game, Rip is playing ....I guess mediocre is the best word. CNote is the only one that has shown up. Dyess off the bench seems to be playin well. Sheed is having another off game. Where is the energy? we need to get the sense of urgency back, Miller and Oneal are lightin it up tonight and rightfully so with theri backs to the wall. We need to match that intensity, and other than a 2-3 minute burst in the second quarter, we havent. On the bright side? The way they have played compared to the way we have played we shoul be down double digits.

[DetBNyce]

Down 1 off the triple. As long as we stick close I like our chances. Indy is playing a hell of a game and we're right there with them.

[thekid]

Pacers came with a lot of energy early, I see you guys taking control from here on..

[DetBNyce]

Now is not the time to have Hunter in...

[thekid]

Hmm.. the refs suck.

[DetBNyce]

Reggie triples right after Sheed. He's not quite ready yet. Big possession coming up for the Pistons. 9 on the shot clock and the lead by 3. I'm sure we'll get a good look with LB writing up a play during the timeout.
