I know this used to frustrate me too, got to get the league pass next year my friend. BTW, i feel like we have this year and the next to win a title with our young effective bench.

Personally I think living for the playoffs is what got this team in trouble in the past.

Play the games on the schedule and work your game plan. No need to shorted the rotation or treat it as a playoff game because its not a playoff game.

Win or lose this one should be pretty close and very entertaining. If there is one game you want to watch this has to be one of them.

Oh well, you can't win them all.

...heh....this team won't be winning any of them....(titles that is).

Thanks for the prediction, Mr. Gloom and Doom. I found a new avatar for you:

Tough play and tough loss. KG is certainly the difference in this game. But I don't see this as dominance, just experience for the Zoo and now we see how they will play us.

Great game.

Ugly loss at both ends, the first six minutes and the last five minutes. Down 10 halfway through the first quarter, the Pistons managed to get back to within 1 with about 5 minutes left in the game, but then a total collapse led to a 12-0 Boston run to clinch it. Bad shooting, horriffically poor officiating (both ways)...no fun to watch. A whopping 5 points off the bench was one of the reasons for the loss, as was giving up 20(!!) rebounds to Kendrick Perkins.

Celtics pretty much clinched the #1 seed with this win. They're 5 up on the Pistons in the loss column, and with the season series 2-1 in their favor, it's effectively a 6 game lead with the tiebreaker. Pistons have an easier schedule down the stretch, but making up 6 games is very far-fetched.

Humor - ha ha ha

I would not take much from this game. They are not going to have one team with 2 days rest at home facing a team who flew in on a back-back during a snow storm in the playoffs.

Pistons lost out on all the hustle plays, low FG%, lack of hops on the glass. I agree with Blaha in that you can't fault the effort just the circumstances. Plus Garnett killed us.

The #1 seed could end meaning who gets to play LeBron in the 2nd round. The Pistons might not even see Boston in the playoffs.
