Good stuff from you guys, In all seriousness:

I believe the Celtics have no shot to win in Detriot tonight. NONE. This is a learning game for them. Doc and Thibadeaux needs to focus on game 4 Monday. This is not a must game. Detroit has all the momentum. It would be good for Doc to try some different bench combinations and try to get Sam Cassell going tonight. I would not overextend PGA trying to get back HCA tonight. Let us try for the momentum change on Monday and get our confidence back and try for a W - L - L - W - W - W outcome. 

Besides, the Referees will screw them tonight.

Tonight would be a bonus if they can win it.  Though they'd never come out and say they weren't trying to win the game, I'm sure Detroit had a smilar approach to Game 1 in Boston.

But who knows...As the old cliche goes "That's why they play the games"
Yup

I think they are going to try to prove they can win on the road. Their motivation will be to shut the media up!!!

I'd be surprised if we don't see the C's best road performance of the playoffs tonight.

The Celtics may play well tonight, but that doesn't mean that they will win.

  • Let's Go Celtics
Celts by 7.  KG with 25+, 15+, and 5.  Paul with 18, 7 and 7.  Ray hits four 3 pointers.  Rajon has 8 assists and 1 turnover.  PJ Brown continues his solid play.  Eddie House hits a big jumper in second half. 

Rasheed plays well at home, going for 20.  Rip goes for 25.  Billups struggles on both ends of the floor, and McDyess cools off. 
"Take this down," said O'Neal. "My name is Shaquille O'Neal and Paul Pierce is the (expletive) truth. Quote me on that and don't take nothing out. I knew he could play, but I didn't know he could play like this. Paul Pierce is the truth."

Why so down on the Celtics chances of winning tonight?

Is it just the bad road streak? Or is it Detroit?

Ugly, ugly low scoreing game tonight with the percentages reversed, 38% for the Bad guys and 49% for Yooouur Boston Celtics securing their first road win of the playoffs, I'm sure of it  8)

As it came to me in a dream~

Half hour to tipoff, pregame routines complete, check!

What's our theme tonight? The Rocky series? Teen Wolf? The Star Wars Series? The Original Degrassi Series? What? I'm Canadian.

Rasheed is THE ULTIMATE Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.bag!

Let's go!

[ps out of respect for folks with slow servers, maybe go easy on the graphics and video inserts after tipoff? or at least snip them when you respond? Thanks! TenD
