    man i was gonna say what an impressive recovery by the pistons to fight off the boston run and get back up by 11, but it looks like they're going to blow the game anyway.

    Down by 6. The Celts defense has disappeared. That will be the story of the game.

    Ray Allen and Paul Pierce both blocked in last 5 minutes.

    Pistons don't need to double any of the Celtics big three. They can play straight up D and not have to worry about open shooters.

    Hamilton can stay with Allen.
    Prince can stay with Pierce.
    Wallace can hang with KG.

    Ray Allen should just quit shooting...

    Ray fails to box out Hamilton on rebound and then chokes on a 10 footer.

    Big three scoring 20+ each and detroit is beating them up on the road. Impressive.

    This is why the Celtics won't win a championship this year. They can't win on the road and lose to a decent team at home.

    Ray Allen actually needs to play defense. That makes a lot of difference.

    Rip Hamilton has said "you know" at least a good 30 times in his post game interview.

    I know I have mentioned this before but the Pistons have a really nice player in Rodney Stuckey.

    Really? KG is one of the most respectful opponents you can play against. He is very sincere in giving others their due and is a complete class act.

    If screaming gets him pumped up(and he always is)then why not? I wish Tracy would get up to play like that every game of the season........
