A loss here would knock the wind out of Boston. Here's hoping a Detroit W. My enemy's enemy is my friend.

Bottom line is that Detroit is a top 3 team in the league. We were right there with them at the beginning of the 4th until the bench pissed it away. Good contributions from Bargs, Bosh and Caldy but nothing from the bench
Appel:
Bargs will be an all-star while Bosh averages 10/6 in Miami

This is the kind of defense we'll need to be playing if we want to be successful in the playoffs.

Good game to watch, aside from Stuckey/Afflalo spazzing out for a few plays there.

I love the look of shock on Celtics players and coaches faces when a close call does not go their way.

Tommy Heinsohm literally put his headset down on one call so that he didn't start swearing on air. I wish that league pass had the Detroit feed.

Damn this game is awesome. I find myself cheering for the Pistons which I have never done but I just hate Boston, their fans, their commentators, their hype.

I'm glad somebody finally has the balls to stick it to KG. I have never seen KG do his Vince Carter expression after a hard foul. Pout, walk away with his head down instead of sizing the other player up or intimidating them (ala the Bonner fiasco).

What? You mean the feed on Sportsnet isn't Tommy Heinson? The guy was being bias and literally crying because the Pistons were outplaying the Celts.

The SN feed is playing Tommy H. I love listening to that guy--it's pure comedy. Would I prefer an unbiased commentator? Sure, I guess---but I can see whats going on with my own two eyes anyways

I hate everything about Boston, not only the celtics but the Patriots, Bruins, Red Sox, etc. I don't know why but even though I used to like Allen and KG...the fact they are in Boston makes me want them to feel miserably, I'm not going to lie. I hate Detroit, especially since they get away with bullying the refs all the time which in hindsight, I think it hurts the integrity of the game, but even with their antics, I hope they destroy Boston tonight, and if they meet in the playoffs, I hope they beat them as well.

Nets have outscored the Hawks 15-0 so far in the fourth.


Kidd with triple doubles on back to back nights, the guy is a machine.
