It doesn't work like that, there's no tiebreaker for teams that are tied in record. They simply split the ping pong balls.

I do find it interesting that they are going to bring Ben and Rodney back off the bench, when Prince and Hamilton came back (with much longer periods of absence) right away and started.

Maybe it's because back then they still felt they had a chance of getting into the playoffs.

Pistons down by 17 in the first. Pacers on pace to score 120+, the Pistons on pace to score less than 70.

This is pretty much unwatchable so far.

Both teams may end up shooting 30% and below in FG, may also end having most turnovers in NBA history (what's the record anyway). Maybe a very ugly game...

We are taynking big time down 21 at the half....Joe is smiling on the inside...

Pistons must think he is not playing either as he is scoring at will as if he was invisible to the Piston defenders >>>21 pts now 8 mins left in the third and the Pacers up 20......yep with out him, this game would be a neck to neck taynk to the end.

Looks like the Pistons has taken the Taynking to another level - ripping!

1 point game.

Summers has played pretty well in his time out there, running out for easy baskets.
