It just hasn't been the same since the Warrier got traded away. That old time rivalry just isn't the big deal it once was.

Although the return of Shiney-Skis is making it much better. You can always count on Shine for a real gem. Fred Jones for sixth man! Please!

On a serious note, though, the Pacers do have an amazing ability to still be competitve playing a bunch of stock boys from the local farm supply store. Gotta win the board war tonight. I am reallly sick of seeing Jeff Foster outrebound the Pistons front line.
