ECF Game 1 Pistons at Celtics 5/20 8:30 PM ESPN

Ah a green colored sun is shining on our world today.  I felt good about this one from the beginning and they really made it look easy out there.  

-Billups is still hurt.

-Rasheed hurts the Pistons as much as he helps them.

-Our team defense stood up and played well against their team offense.

-KG is set to have a monster series.  Paul is in a nice groove right now and who knows maybe Ray will get his jumper back and win a game for us.


All of these things are subject to change.  Especially if the Pistons come back and take home court advantage with a Game 2 win.  However that was a good start to the series.

i met a guy in college years ago who could imitate the scene when mickey died and rocky was mumbling a bunch of stuff over his corpse...it was classic and always made us laugh.  he was so intense, when he got finished his face was red and he usually needed a tylenol. 

I have a similar story. A good friend of mine can do the final seen of First Blood with Rambo and Col. Trautman.

nothibing is OvEr!!! nothibing!!!
u can just turf it off!!
it wasnmt my warr!
You ask mee i didddnt askk u!!

Apollo gives tonights effort a thumbs up



Pistons took it on the chin like Apollo did against:

Crap, if we're Drago . . . does that mean we meet Rocky next round?

Yeh, I did think that through and was going to go on a bit with it but then it would have gotten all confusing and Tommy Morrison would have entered the picture and none of us would have any idea how he fit into the picture so we'd have to wait 15 years for Rocky to give us one last bout and I wouldn't be able to keep straight which team metaphored which boxer...and well...I left it at Dolph

My prediction for game 2 for the Pistons:

PAIN

I was never a big whiskey drinker, but one night in college became one with a bottle of Jack and spent the rest of the night enjoying the hell out of doing a Don Corleon impression.

If anything we're Rocky and the Piston/Spurs and Lakers are Drago. All of them represent evil empires imho.

Ain't done Nothing yet, just a game, one game 

Maybe if we're Lucky again possibly win on our floor again next game, maybe...

But, not having a bench and not winning on the road is all that's left for these underdogs to prove, anything to the outsiders...

Hmmm, nice start though with the "D" effort tonight, for the spectators...

Gooo UNDERDOGs!!!!!

[Celtic]

OK, I'll break it down.

The Celtics are Rocky.



Apollo is our friend, thus he is a good luck charm.



The Pistons are Thunderlips, all hype, but not as likable as the Hulkster.



The final opponent, be it the Lakers or the Spurs, is Drago, the unbeatable force that can only be stopped with pure heart.



When the Celtics/Rocky finally win the championship, we will celebrate with our friends, however we see fit, don't judge us.

Thanks Celtic...that clears things up!

Just as long as they stop playing like this on the road.

[Andy Jick]

thank you, Celtic!  the world suddenly makes sense to me now...i never realized all those rocky movies were really teaching something deeper.

[RebusRankin]

Celtic's explanation was pure genius.

[Celtic]

Just as long as they stop playing like this on the road.

I think the next road game, with a hobbled Billups, we see something like this.

Stallone is indeed a true Bard, there is so much to learn from his work.

[RebusRankin]

Where does Rambo 3 fit?

[Redz]

The Pistons are a disease and the Celtics are the cure
