Vote: Indiana Pacers vs. Detroit Pistons


The ultimate goal for each of the 16 teams in the NBA postseason is 16 wins a parade with a shiny trophy. Eight teams survived the initial best-of-seven challenge to advance to the second round. Will any of the favorites fall in the conference semifinals? We're asking SportsNation to break down each second-round series.

No. 2 Detroit vs. No. 6 Indiana: The brawl seems so long ago, yet at the same time, like it happened yesterday. The Pacers and Pistons will put their differences to rest in the second round as a Ron Artest-less Pacers team tries to extend Reggie Miller's career just a bit longer.
  • 1) Do you believe, as some writers and analysts have speculated, that the brawl in November helped the Pacers come together as a team and is a big reason they are in the playoffs?
  • 2) Do you expect any fireworks in this series?
  • 3) Who has the edge at point guard?
  • 4) Who has the edge on the wing?
  • 5) Who has the edge up front?
  • 6) Who has the edge off the bench?
  • 7) Who has the edge in coaching?
  • 8) Who would you want taking the last shot for Detroit?
  • 9) Who would you want taking the last shot for Indiana?
  • 10) Who wins the series?
