Judging by how bad Al got abused by Drummond last time, and how bad Al just got abused by Aldridge, Brad needs to pull something out of his bag of defensive tricks or we're going to get abused down low yet again.

Start Baynes (if his "stomach" has recovered) and play him 20+ mins on Drum. Sit Morris and save him vs. the tanking Bulls. We win. Pistons are 1-5 since they beat us, their only win against the stinking Suns. They'll want to get their **** together. Not on us! Come out with force!

Yup. If Al Horford has a good game then the Celtics win and vice versa. I would like to see Brad have Horford and Theis on the floor together more often.

Yeah. Two Big-Men 3-pt shooters.
That'll keep them more honest.

Hoping Bespectacled Brown trends in the same efficient way. He was off to a good start last night.

Theis needs to start hitting his threes, though.

Baynes revenge game 4.0

This is very likely an L imo. Tobias always kills us, Avery Bradley takes the Kyrie factor away a bit and Drummond will eat Horford alive once more. If Stevens is smart, he shows us lesson learned and sticks Baynes on Drum the entire game. Pistons have lost a bunch of games since beating us so I expect we see their full effort once again just like the game in Boston.

PS: If we let them roll over us with the pick and roll again I will lose my ****.

I Agree.
Put Baynes on Drummond.

Kyrie post game after the last Piston's game..

Watch out! Need Horford to actually score more than 2 points this game..

Pistons on a slide we don't need to play poorly to get them back in form.
Play Baynes on Drummond please!

Other than Wizards games all their losses have been by 5 points or less and they could have won many of those if some decisions went their way. They are in a slide but not really. :lol:

We need Baynes on Drummond and for Reggie Jackson to have his bad Reggie type games on offense.

Really hate the way Irving and Horford matchup on Bradley and Drummond. Probably the best counters in the league to them.

What's the news on that? He looked like he was in quite a bit of pain... I was thinking he got hit right below all of Australia myself

They're saying he got kneed in the stomach by Gasol. Probable for this game.

I was really concerned it was something like a hernia. There wasn't much contact there.

Semi versus Boban, not the best bench matchup.

Boban was amazing last game, leading the comeback, that fell short when he went to the bench. Of course, it was Boban versus David West a lot of the time.

Silly Ainge, the Celtics with an open roster spot and no real size, would have been useful against the Pistons before and also against the Spurs.

Even T Zeller, just dominating right now for the Nets.

Like the Silverdome, you just can't expect the Pistons to implode, although they do have a huge losing streak going right now.
