Is it really true the Nets-Hawks game only had 8 and 4 points at the end of 1?

[ChampionRed]

I noticed that too...I turned it on and the pre-game show was just ending...That's weird though.

Lol the Nets/Hawks game hasn't even started yet the boxscores show that the first quarter is over. At first I thought the game had started until I saw the Nets starting line up of:

M.Williams
Kidd
Nachbar
Malik
Boone

[Trilogy]

That box score knows something we don't...

[G35]

So what does it mean in the Celtics-Pistons game;

If the Celtics win it could be spun that it was the 2nd half of a back to back

If the Pistons win then they have the Celtics number

If the Celtics win then each other will have won on the others homecourt

If the Pistons win do the Celtics need to make a trade to address their mismatch at PG.........

The back-to-back part. Pistons played last night too.

NBA League Pass sucks.

Why the hell isn't Celts/Pistons being broadcast in HD?

[triplet1984]

Pistons/Celtics not being on nationwide is a travesty. Their contests are pretty much the ONLY East Conf regular season games that mean a damn. Most of the other teams are so mediocre, orlando excepted.

Yep.

This is a game both teams would really LOVE to have, but I think the Celts probably feel like they have a bit more to prove.

The Pistons have been in every situation imagineable and while they'd certainly like to win a loss isn't gonna really phase em.

[G35]

Looks like the Pistons are back to their old tricks of getting the other team into the penalty early.

KG with 2 fouls, we'll get to see if Pierce and Allen can hold the Celts together........

[Train Wreck]

17-0 run by the Pistons

Boston scores 12 in the first quarter.

Ever since Maxiell came in the defense has been beastly.

Maxiell drawing those 2 quick fouls on KG certainly helped.

But that's what you get with an active body like his. I love it.

[semi-sentient]

Celtics held scoreless for 8 straight minutes in the 1st... crazy.
