    this game is going to be a good game, the pistons have been struggling lately but they can bounce back any given game, the pacers are the most dominant team in the east as of today...should be an very interesting game...you can post your comments on the game right here

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Once again, Indiana's defense rescued a struggling offense.

    Ron Artest scored 22 points, Jermaine O'Neal added 19 and reserve Austin Croshere had all 12 of his in the fourth quarter, as the Pacers overcame horrendous shooting and beat the Detroit Pistons 80-75 Friday night.

    "We came out overaggressive, just trying to get to the bucket," Artest said. "We were trying so hard to get back our style of play, we just couldn't find ourselves."

    For the second straight game, the Pacers shot under 40 percent, and they were well on their way to their first two-game losing streak of the season. Artest hit only seven of 20 shots and O'Neal wasn't much better at 9-of-20

    Chauncey Billups led Detroit with 13 points, while Richard Hamilton and Ben Wallace each added 12.

    The Pacers (20-7), struggling lately but still atop the Eastern Conference, seemed to come out of a recent shooting slump by hitting their first five shots for a 10-8 lead. They made only two of their next 19 attempts, however, and finished the first half with a season-low 33 points.

    Unreal..what does this team have to do? At times they look like a JV team on offense.

    Holding onto leads would be a good start.

    Dumars needs to make a trade for either a star or some kind of good role player like Shane Battier.Which I think he might do soon.As right now their offense drys up very quickly.Which gives teams chances to come back.
