You are correct, if they win this series, it will be bench that does it for them. When starters are on the floor, they will have trouble getting shots, as Pistons have too much size down low to allow Oneal to go wild, especially with Foster in the game as a non-offensive factor in the frontcourt allowing help galore.
Unless Pacers find someone who can create his own shot (hello Ron Artest) with the ball, they will not be able to score when it counts.
Bottom line, they are very lucky they are not down 2-0. When a team struggles that mightily on their home court in a playoff series, it usually spells big trouble.
You are certainly one of the best cappers here, however, so my opinion really means nothing. But in this matchup, you might be a wee bit biased.
