Would be really nice to blow'em out tonight so our guys can rest for tomorrow (gotta look good on national TV) But I honestly can’t see it realistically happen. As already said, these two teams are pretty equal and I expect it to be a close fought game till the end
I want this win bad. Also, did anyone see the rumors that Boston is talking to Houston about a Dwight trade?
Sullinger has never eaten a vegetable before
That's not true. There is lettuce on a Big Mac.
We're not beating the Celtics. We're dealing with injuries, plus were not consistent. Andre will form back to his mediocre play after committing 2 early fouls and 13 straight missed free throws
Ugh hate playing in Boston....Always seem to have a lot of calls go against the Pistons....IT alone seems to get about a dozen beneficial calls.....Watch how often he goes flying with little or no contact and gets a call.
Boston has no bigs who can handle Drummond, and no shot blocking in the paint, which is problematical against our pick and roll game. They're a good team, but I think we match up fine with them.
Rj cannot stop IT and IT cannot stop RJ. It is the supporting cast that will decide this. One thing you can expect is early and frequent hack-a-dre, so it will not be a fun game to watch. I hope Boston wears down a bit due to the 2nd night of a back to back.
With exception of Thomas, they seem very ordinary to me. But seem to give us fits.
The Celtics (who I've always hated) are actually playing well under Stevens. I think he gets the most out of their talent.
They've been winning all season for a reason. Their coach is going to be the next Popovich. He's doing all of that with a bunch of average players. Imagine if you give him a star. Boston have like the next 3 first round picks from the Nets. Boston will be one of the best teams in a few years. They're going to be very annoying. But that's what Ainge does, he's really good.
They're on a back to back but their team has consistent effort from all the players. It's what happens with that coach. Sullinger barely played last night. I expect him to get above 30 mins tonight. Thomas had a lot of mins but I think he'll come out firing.
Reggie doesn't want to play D today
It must be a day that ends with "y."
Are all of our starters drunk? Sheesh
Amir Johnson He had an extremely dirty play last time we played them.
That’s what you get for traveling Marcus Smart
It's funny Cuz you look at the Celtics, and they look like a D league team, at best, in terms of their physical statures. Very oddly shaped people.
And then you see that they have the 6th best point differential in the league and the 3rd best in the East And you think WHAT!?
Jonas drives through the entire Pistons team for a layup. That's about the level of defense they're playing lately.
One of these games their shitty attitude will get them blown out by halftime. Maybe they need that to happen before they decide it's worth their time to show up and actually try from the beginning. The effort was terrible that quarter.
I think I've heard Heinson say "caught the Pistons napping" about 12 times already.
I HATE when we play Boston. The refs favor them heavily. Most frustrating games to watch. Thank god it's the last time we see them
Was hoping to sign Amir... Surprisingly underrated on this board.
This game has hack a Dre written all over it.
Do the Celtics have a single rim protector? It blows my mind how content we are hoisting jumpers, when we are getting multiple easy buckets towards the rim.
Of course Smart looks like curry against us
Why are we the team that looks like we are on B2B
You know the difference between these teams tonight. The Celtics are actually going into the paint! Stop taking jumpers we aren't hitting them...
Our team looks exhausted. JJ Redick said a complaint of SVGs players is that shoot arounds are kneepads, scrapping D, diving for balls no offense for 1-2 hours. No shooting. If you want to shoot, do it on your own time. Wonder if that's why Reggie is getting hospitalized these days.
Marcus Smart is hitting 3s Super
Of course... F*** you Marcus Smart
Don;t worry he will do more dumb crap look at his hairdo
I'm trying to figure out why he was picked 6th
Because he punches fans
I don't blame him for that First off it was push, also the fan uttered a racial slur and was banned from future Texas Tech games.
WTF is up with Smart and 3-pointers tonight?
IDK He is usually a Josh Smith-esque 25% shooter. Maybe he got a cheat code or pushed up those sliders.
These'll be the Celtics first FTs of the game
I don't like Kelly Olynyk
I can’t stand Evan Turner
My Philly friends call him Evan Turnover.
This might have been overshadowed because we can't make a shot anyway But the refs have been screwing us in Boston again, how surprising!
OH F*** YOU BRAD STEVENS I hate this piece of shit coach with all the fibers of my body!!
The Celtics will always be mediocre
Especially after that top three pick the Nets get them. Hell, they are in fourth in the east now, such a crap team.
So Sullinger can seal off the defender from contesting the shot and it’s a foul on us? Seems legit…
Boston going for the jugular
This game is already hard to watch and their squirrel looking coach decided to hack drummound
Dre should be suspended and fined for biting on a Tyler Zeller pump fake. My god, what a terrible defender.
I really hate playing Bos. There is always something with that team that just makes me detest them
It's that players 1-13 know their role and play with effort. We aren't used to that here.
More so full of p* like Smart, IT, Poop and Sullinger who flop like mofo's. Amir plays hard but reckless and scrub players act like they are stars.
Crowder is REALLY good. Hate his hair but he's solid.
Boston plays the way every young team should play. Coincidentally we don't play the same way.
We need a KG type player to put the fear of god into our guys. Very content with whatever way the game goes. Win or Loss.
I’m wondering what happens when one team’s building is the cause for a player to get injured? Is there any kind of compensation involved?
I would accept the Brooklyn pick as compensation
Olynyk pushes every f***ing time. What a dirty f***ing player. Why don’t you try to rip off Kevin Love’s arm again you piece of sh**?
After a brief ray of hope We only picked up 2 points in that quarter. At that rate, we’ll need 9 more quarters just to tie.
How I miss Jonas's awkward drives to the hoop
Celtics are just better than us right now that’s the bad news. The good news is that the Celtics are the 4th best team in the eastern conf, so . . . We should still make the playoffs.
ON NO LEVEL IS BOSTON BETTER THAN DETROIT Any GM would pick Detroit’s roster. Yet they have a better record and are destroying the Pistons tonight. The Pistons have NO focus on offense. None. Marcus morris comes out chucking with no accountability. Sit yo ass down is what I would say…but nah. We need him to keep chuckin. We have NO bread and butter offense. Stale ass pick and roll with broke ass Reggie Jackson. Its coaching people. Forget Kevin Love. Let’s trade Stan for Brad Stevens.
Brad Stevens is a great coach. Wait til he has an actual all-star instead of having multiple ok-ish starters.
The fans deserve better effort than the Pistons are giving tonight man. The Celtics are on a back 2 back!
Conscious effort to push the ball. Boston's legs catching up
This is why I can't stand Boston, they fall and it has to be a foul!!!
Why don't we just, like, get better players?
Yeah lets go call the cavs I'm sure they would be wiling to give us lebron
Avery Bradley is thinking "I hate everyone and I will make them pay!!!!" Our guys, "I hope Chipotle doesn't E. Coli anymore"
You have to be impressed with Boston though, they've managed to assemble a hard working squad and they've got all the picks in the world coming to them. I'm jealous really
I am not unless they do something with those picks. If they plan on drafting core players, then its going to be a while before they are legit contenders. Unless that someone is Simmons. I think Bos is looking to win soon.
Well they've got a 28(29)-22 record, and sit 4th in the East. Which in itself is impressive enough.
And they've got this coming:
2016 draft
1st round: Boston, Brooklyn, Minnesota, Dallas
2nd round: Philadelphia, Minnesota, Miami, Cleveland, Dallas
2017 draft
1st round: Boston, Memphis
2nd round: Boston, Cleveland, Minnesota, Clippers
You must be a hard man to please.
Boston reaches so much, I am surprised they don't get more foul calls.
Dre for Zeller, Avery Bradley and a lotto protected first... Trade overrated for effort
SVG you f* tard, illy guarding crowder!? That ain't going to be good
Detroits game plan should be to let Smart handle the ball. Not exactly high IQ player
Andre can't use a off hand to score, yet IT can!?
Scrubs on that team. Guys nobody wanted except Thomas and Bradley. Cmon we gave away Jerebko. Jae Crowder? Stop it. NBA players but not rich in talent. But Brad Stevens came up in that system that knows how to get the best out of talent.
I would trade Marcus Morris for Jae Crowder in a heartbeat. You are seriously underestimating the Celtics. Depth is very valuable, and Boston is proving that, they are better.
Ilya totally fouled that guy on the last three, no call Love it when we catch a break from the refs.
How did crowder survive that? Wow That could’ve been ugly
That dude has had some pretty nice hustle this game, too
Not impressed with Smart
Forget what I said
Hits another 3 right on cue.
Marcus Smart is a TERRIBLE 3-pt shooter. He has somehow made 4/7 on mostly tough looks.
Smart’s not terrible, he’s been shooting much better since returning from injury.
Tank tank tank tank tank tank tank tank
Celtics play hard with swag. We have swag during warmups and try once we're down 20. SVG has to be worried about a core that plays this way. It starts with Dre
I can't stand Evan Turner or Marcus Smart.
No reason we should have lost this game. Chalk it up to our team being our team
Celtics on a B2B and we have fresh legs. Yes there's no reason we should lose to a team we have a advantage over and we've beat before
