Celtics (35-42) at Pistons (30-47) Game #78 4/8/15

[Chief]

Body blow, body blow!

[Celtic Fan Forever]

So when does CBS go to the hack a Drummond?

[KeepRondo]

Zeller and Bradley are killing us with their philosophy that they need to shoot the dang ball every time they touch it. Good Lord.

And Zeller is the biggest softy on defense.

Lets see Sully put some hard fouls on the big fellas. Anyone else annoyed that Monroe is playing tonight for the first time in 11 games? It seems like the Celtics never catch a break with other teams injuries/resting late in the season. I know earlier we caught Portland and Denver back to back without their best players but Denver sucks either way and Aldridge has missed a good number of games this year. Maybe I am just having a woe is me moment...

[SHAQATTACK]

Getting absolutely destroyed inside 

Of course ....I would kinda expected as much ..

Does Sullinger have a better chance of disrupting Monroe/Drummond than zeller?

It's a way for SVG to try and stick it to the C's for his whole mishandling of the Prince deal.

Probably. Zeller almost always gives away inside positioning.

Than Bass.

I don't really get how the Celtics mishandled that... Prince is a grown man. If he really didn't want to play in Detroit couldn't he have told them that himself ?

[jpotter33]

Like putting Crowder out there as a small 4. Hopefully he can get Monroe in foul trouble.

ive always thought that Bass was a decent defender....

[KeepRondo]

They aren't calling a lot of fouls. Olynyk hacked Drummond there.

I was saying SVG mishandled that.

Tough matchup for Crowder against Monroe.
