Game Preview
The Celtics are coming off a home win against the Rockets 102-82.
LaFrentz made seven 3-pointers (7-of-9) and scored 32 points. Sheed will have to stay up tight on the perimiter.

In the last meeting on Nov. 4th the Pistons pulled out a 82-81 win with .8 seconds on a shot by Rip.

Billups took almost half his shots from less than 10 feet the first time the teams met, and about 20% of his shots on the season are from close range.

Rasheed made this comment after the game "That's one of the mottos we go by: 'Winners find a way to win,' "

The game stats were close on almost all categories… Rip was the high scorer with 26 and Paul Pierce had 28

Nov 4th Box score

Bulletin board material from Paul Pierce: ''Even Tayshaun Prince. I don't think he plays great defense. He has two of the best shot blockers in the game [Ben Wallace and Rasheed Wallace]. If a guy blows by you, then the shot blockers block the shot and you call that great defense."
