If the Cs are complete and healthy, trap games don't apply.

Isn't Detroit one game away from having the all time longest losing streak?

Yes, and I think they are going to beat the Nets tonight. Then, we'll start their whole losing streak all over again. :nod:

This matchup has got to be up there in terms of having the biggest win percentage disparity, post-Christmas (or with each team having played 25+ games apiece).

Celtics (23-6) vs. Pistons (2-27) --> win % difference of .724

When the Warriors (43-4) and Sixers (7-41) clashed in January 2016, they had a win % difference of .7691.
When the Bulls (32-3) and Sixers (7-27) met in January 1996, they had a win % difference of .7084.

End the streak

I understand that it's the holidays, but I still find it wild that the get-in price for a game like this is still near 200ish. Cmon Boston, why you doing this to me

I'm glad we're not the ones facing them when they have that motivation.

Top guy to worry about is White. The others either don't have kids, or had their kids with them for Christmas in LA, or have the experience level of Al Horford.

Perhaps also the coaches. I doubt there will be a lot of game-planning for Detroit.

Cs will win, it remains to be seen if they take the game seriously and win by 25 or 5.

Whoever wins takes home Alec Burks. It's in the new CBA.

Cade had the game of his life and they couldn't beat a mediocre Nets team at home. This game should not be remotely close

The Celtics have an opportunity to do something funny.

UPDATE:
Celtics: 23-6
Pistons: 2-28

Win Percentage Difference of 0.7264

IINM, this is the first time this season when the team w/ the best record faces the team w/ the worst record.

Don't you dare, Boston...

This would be the most Celtics loss of all time. Please don’t let it be us.
