Obviously, they're showing that during tonight's Indiana/Detroit playoff game. At the end of the 1st quarter, the Pacers led 17-11. We're currently starting the 4th quarter and the Pacers are leading 56-45. This is pitiful and no, it's not all because of good defense.

Atrocious, disgusting, repulsive, abhorrent, horrifying, just plain horrendous basketball.

Detroit scored 29 points in the 4th quarter after only scoring 45 points in the first 3 quarters. In the last 6 quarters before the 4th quarter, Detroit did not score more than 15 points in a quarter.

The sad thing is that Detroit almost won the game. If the Pistons can find a way to even play decent, they will easily come back and beat the Pacers. The Pacers are just awful, and sadly the Pistons are playing even worse then the Pacers.

Pistons picked the wrong time to slip into a funk.

Sunday is really the deciding game. If we lose, we won't recover from a 3-1 hole against Indiana like we did against Orlando.

I can handle losing a series to Miami or whoever wins the West. But not Indiana. I can't stand their fans. They are droning on and on about the "thugs" on the Pistons and in Detroit.

Ben Wallace, a strong athlete, pushed Ron Artest, another strong athlete. A little shoving between pro players happens all the time. No big deal.

It was the PACERS that ran into the stands and starting swinging their fists. All because a little cup of ice water. Yeah, the Detroit crowd really got into it thereafter, but that reaction would've happened in any arena where the opposing team starting charging the crowd.

I'm not defending Wallace's actions and certainly not the Pistons fans' actions. But they most be smoking something in Indiana if they don't realize that who the real thugs are. If the Pacers win, I hope the Shaq attack beats the bejeezus out of them.

Don't base your opinions on one game, or one series. If you watched the Suns-Mavs game afterwords, you saw Steve Nash put on a show. Or if you watched the Heat-Wizards game today, Dwayne Wade was sensational. The Pistons and Pacers are just playing poorly right now, they will pick it up.
