If House is not hitting the three, he's worthless.

He's only shot 1.

That's because the Pistons play good defense. Pruitt would be more effective in this game because he drives the basketball.

*sigh* Do we really have to launch Free Gabe 2.0?

You can just tell the team is a little uncomfortable with playing such a close game. Rondo has been taking the shots Detroit has been giving him for the last few weeks, but not today. The bad passing too. Obviously, the defense is the reason for a lot of the bad shots that, say, Ray and KG are taking. But the other stuff seems like a symptom of our mindset.

it's really not as bad as it seems from this thread, i think we're in crunch time and the starters are pretty rested. meanwhile the pistons starters look tired.

Cavs have pulled away some. Lakers still only up a few at the half.

Ok, this is not looking good. I don't want to blame it on one player. Detriot is just playing good D & our TO's might cost us the game.

They are playing great defense, so the Celtics will probably win this one. I expect a lot of "give it to Paul Pierce and pray" as the game winds down. :-\

Perk that was a classless move. You're better than that.

I'm not entirely sure that Perk intended to get him in the head. He wasn't really looking at what he was doing.
