The Pistons host the new-look Indiana Pacers tonight, sans Al Harrington and Stephen Jackson but with newcomers Troy Murphy and Mike Dunleavy. Detroit is in a two-way tie for first with the Bulls (and the Cavs just a half game behind), but the fourth-place Pacers are hardly out of the picture just two games out — you have to hope that both teams come out fighting. (I mean, not literally… you know what I mean.)

‘Sheed was all over the floor before picking up his second foul. Luckily ‘Dyess is just as energetic tonight.
Webber is really working out for us… better then I expected.
Nice to see Sheed playing like a 7-footer. So far, C-Webb looks like just what the doctor ordered.
Now if only the doctor would order a nice combo guard, heavy on the playmaking skills with a side of scoring and hold the Nazr & Murray, I think we’d be officially cooking!
Prediction: In Tuesay’s rematch versus the Wiz, Flip Murray does his best agent zero, scores 91 points. Pistons lose by 1.
Well said,farlane. The Pistons need that playmaking combo guard BAD. We don’t want to see Rip or Chauncey getting burned out.
Whatever do you mean though by… “and hold the Nazr & Murray?”
