Interesting to see if there D can hold up against the Lakers offence.

Thats not there D....it's Artest's D! Look at the players mentioned, Houston, Iverson, Anthony, Sprewell, Billups, Hamilton, Kidd, Lewis, Murray, Richardson, Magette.......all players the type and size that Artest would guard.

No bigmen in there...Indy are good defensively but it all starts with Artest.

exactly...Artest is THE MAN

...Indy have some top defenders...O'Neal, Harrington, Artest, Foster, Pollard, Anderson, etc...we've been focusing on defense so far this yr and we've kept teams to less than 80 pts for a couple of weeks now

...the Lakers are a a different story though...O'Neal, Kobe, Mailman, the glove...it'll be a tough game
