Good job, Chris!

Instead of what he wrote I would have thought a Detroit News writer would have written something like:

The Pistons took advantage of the Celtics "Pack The Paint" defense by getting many open three point opportunities and making 9 out of 20 compared to the Celtics making only 4 out of 14 enabling the Pistons to beat the Celtics for the 14th time in the last 15 tries

McKrapsky is a definite troll

But as far as the calls, I honestly thought we were getting screwed. Sheed's first foul was bogus. The foul they called on him when he set a normal screen was terrible. The phantom call at the end when he was guarding KG? It's like they were trying to set him off.

The worst part about most of the whistles were how late they were. We were already fast breaking half the time before they called them.

I thought we were getting screwed too. Particularly sheed guarding garnett -- it seemed as though subconsciously the refs are so used to garnett making a play (like finishing near the bucket or something) that when he doesn't there's an automatic assumption that kicks in that he must have been followed, which may also be why the calls seemed to come late. the only real break i thought we got was when rondo was trying to keep the bouncing ball away from chauncey and it seemed like chauncey sort of shoved him to be able to get a hold of the ball.

There were bad calls going both ways, I'd say neither team got the advantage on the whistles.

I agree with that. Especially since we got the last call with 0.1 sec's left. There is no way that would have been called in the old days at Boston.

Probably a no call in playoffs as well.

That play would always get called. The defender was in the air coming down backwards with his big butt right into CB's grill.

Its hard to say how that would be called because it looked a lot worse live than on the replay. It was a foul but on the replay it appeared that Billups also did a good job selling it.

Adds more fuel to the rivalry I suppose.

too late to remember my game thoughts, but this was a great regular season game. it kind of felt like a game 7, really nerve-racking from start to finish.

I've seen guys get defenders in the air and go for the foul and the foul is on the Ofense. Only once tho.
