Pacer/Pistons game 1:
Harrington's energy saved Indy in the first half. Nobody could cover Billups or Hamilton and Ben owned the inside. As expected, Artest was too strong for Prince, but missed a few bunnies.
Turnovers, and Billups total disappearing act in the second half cooked the Pistons. Jermaine played strong, while Rasheed didn't show up at all. (Weak move by 'Sheed when he "guaranteed" a win in game 2. He's been doing a good job of staying quiet and letting his game speak. Just shut up and play!)
Foster stepped up huge when it counted, and Reggie pulled off another "Reggie moment" to seal the deal.
Outside of Harrington's first half, neither bench impressed, although Johnson played Billups rather well. The role players on both sides are going to have to play better for their teams to move on.
The Pacers need to keep pounding in the paint, forcing the Wallaces to make plays, while the Pistons need to keep making Artest and Miller chase skinny pussies all over the court.
Game 2 outta be great!
