Then where's their offense gonna come from?
In the west.... Look at the avatar baby! LA all the way. I think it's gonna be a good 6 game series.

I recall you saying NJ was going to beat detroit, too. Kidd was injured, but he was just missing open looks. K-Mart wasn't that injured. He just got shut down a lot by the Wallaces. He was moving fine. Rasheed's foot was at about 60% as well, and Chauncey's back was hurting him the entire series. But he still outplayed Kidd every game.
And as for handling teams, hello? Indy struggled with Miami! Detroit had to take it to 7, but one loss was 3OT that could have gone either way, and game 7 was a blowout.

Mike James and Lindsey suck nuts. So that only leaves Chauncey and Rip at guard. The Pacers have Artest, Tinsley, Jones, Johnson, and Miller all play guard. Now, exactly how the hell is Detroit deeper and how do they outclass the Pacers at guard? Also, Rip and Chauncey put in 40 minutes a night at guard. Which doesn't leave any time for the bench to play... Why is that? Because their coach has zero faith in their week ass backups. The Pacers have 4 guards averaging over 20 minutes a game, and Johnson plays about 18. Why do these guys get more playing time than Detroit's backups? Because they're better players. Period. Pacers own the guard position, and Jermaine is the best big man on the court in this series.

Heh, I disagree about Mike James and Lindsey "sucking nuts". They both play really good D, but detroit's guards play a lot because they need to score. Jones and Johnson aren't the most solid guards either. Miller is old. Jermaine is indeed the best big man on the floor, but he's going to have both wallaces making it hell for him in the paint, assuming Rasheed's foot doesn't get worse.
It's going to be a good series, and it can go either way. Both team has weaknesses. But the one time the pacers and pistons played when the pistons had Sheed, the pacers scored 61 points. So for you to keep saying that Detroit it going to get owned, and we suck nuts, and whatever, is ignorant. Keep hating though.
