Should be an easy win except if the Detroit big men go off on us
2 days off until the next game so I don't mind seeing bigger minutes for the starters if necessary
105-92 is my prediction

Detroit has never been an easy opponent. I wouldnt bet on a celtics win, it might be one of those nights.

If the Celtics play down to their competition, they'll lose. They have to play each opponent like they're an elite team, I know it's probably not easy for them but that's the obvious approach they have to take.

I think the Celtics are too deep to let Detroit squeeze out a win. I'll go with a 98-91 win for Boston.

We'll probably see a game similar to the one we saw yesterday. Celtics start fast, Pistons close the gap, and then the Celtics pull away toward the end of the third quarter.

I think we'll win quite easily. I'm interested in watching Monroe/Drummond play.

Is it too early in the season to have trap games?

I could see Doc experimenting (as he needs to do for the long term, but its hard to watch short term) and Monroe killing a KG-less front line as we play small ball.

Heres hoping Frank keeps screwing over Drummond who has been awesome this year but doesn't play as many minutes as his production warrants

Detroit might as well start Monroe and Drummond just to get them both major minutes.

Rondo is my favorite player but he's being too careless with the passes.

You can still post here? Are you specifically suspended from general discussion or something?
