Pistons (2-28) at Celtics (23-6) Game #30 12/28/23

[Phantom255x]

Do not lose this game C's, I swear...

The TRAP game of all trap places.

[A Future of Stevens]

I expect the few talented players on DET to go ALL out to start the game. As a professional, I can't imagine any of the Pistons DONT care about tying the worst streak of all time.

Tatum in tonight
Brown is out

[Celtics2021]

Tatum in tonight
Brown is out

Presumably one of Al and KP as well, given that it’s the first night of a back-to-back and a 3-in-4 stretch.

Neither are on the injury report. I'm guessing Horford sits tomorrow, Porzingis on Sunday.

Think both Al and KP start tonight with Al sitting tomorrow.

[SHAQATTACK]

Think I ll sit for a while tonight myself  …have a beer or three

I could use a little load mgmt therapy

I am not going to be surprised when the Celtics mess around and lose this game.  They play down to the level of their competition and this has a loss written all over it.

This doesn't make any sense. The Celtics have the highest net rating (+10.3) in the league besides the Sixers.
They have obliterated 15 teams (in 29 games) by at least 10. The last three games average margin: 24.3

Staring at the 2-28 really is something. I can't fathom how it'd feel to root for a team like that. And with the draft in the lottery format it still doesn't even guarantee the #1 pick. Depressing.

Bobcats had the worst season at 7-59 and even that was in the lockout year with 16 fewer games. Will the Pistons even reach 7 wins lol

Spurs get #1, right?

The Top-3 teams have a 14% chance each to get it. It's based on ping pong balls. Even the 14th team has a tiny chance lol

[Donoghus]

The Celtics are giving 17 right now on Draftkings

In the past the Celtics have played down in games like this. See the Brooklyn game last year where the nets had nobody. Celtics lost.

Would be nice to see them take care of business and not give Detroit any hope

Reminds me of a great song Bachman-Turner Overdrive sang 50 years ago...."Taking Care of Business"
