Alright lets put that last game behind us.

Around this time last year is when the Pistons went into Boston on a Friday night and escaped with a win on a last sec shot by Rip. That win set off a very nice winning streak for the team so lets hope for more early season magic. Hopefully not as close though.

It is Boston where the Pistons always seem to have trouble but this years Celts are in rebuilding mode so we will see.

Pistons vs. the Celts.

Find below, a picture of a Celtic fan and his mom, bless her "working girl" soul.

Posts like that could get us Celtics Trolls. That could be fun.

Strip her down and paint her green, and could call her "Celtic Pride".

1st game of our 1st back to back this season. Grizzlies are tough to beat since we are playing them tomorrow night. Therefore, we need to win this game. Hopefully, Sheed will play better knowing that he let the team down against the Bucks.

What happen to our passing game? We must average 20+ assist, not T.O's.

GO PISTONS!!!

I predict we'll have a few players in foul trouble trying to prove they can stop dribble drives... it will be a foul fest for both sides.

If we can apply backcourt pressure, their guards will fold. Telfair is incapable of directing a team. Rondo is too green and West is over at the 2 spot. If we let them do their thing, Pierce will slice us apart and perkins, jefferson and Gomes will stuff putbacks and short hooks.

The Celtic bigs have a rep of being foul prone so that should be exploited. Sheed should have a nice night at the low block unless he gets T'd or settles for the three. I'm all for Maxiel at this point. Draw fouls. Even throw in Amir. If there is a game to play Amir in, this is it.

the celtics are too small all around to seriously compete with us if we play a decent game. we can exploit mismatches all over the place.

Yeah, but WHO ARE WE? Itll take 10 games b4 we know what this team is about. Until Thanksgiving comes, Im just watching......and waiting................

One of the things I love is having a great feel on how the Pistons will play each game. What Wednesday showed is that this team has to get rid of the superiority complex and play the game hard from the start. The starters have to trust that they will not play 40 plus minutes a game so come out hard and play hard from the start.

I think this game will be the same as it was last year when these teams met for the first time with Rip hitting the winner with .08 left on the clock. Both the Celtics and Pistons looked reallly bad in the openers.

The Pistons may have it together but this is a game they can lose if Boston come to play harder than their opener, and they will be geared to play the Pistons because they were swept last year.

My Perdiction is Pistons 97 Boston 93.

Don't be surprised if its the other way there is something wierd about this team right now. GO PISTONS!!!!!
