Time to open a can of worms:
Except of Reggie, none of the Pacers have played at this level. (O'Neal watched from the bench in Portland like Darko's doing now in Detroit) Most of the main players for Indy either jumped to the NBA right from high school or left college early. As a group, they are quite young, inexperienced and undisciplined. By comparison, the Pistons are a great deal more disciplined and experienced, with more big-time college and NBA playoff exposure in their resumes.
If this series were to be played next year, or even two years from now with the same personnel, things might go differently. But for this series, this year, experience seems to be trumping youth.
