Celtics (14-11) at Pistons (14-12) Game #26 12/16/15

^ Yep. Stevens doing Mensa things. Zeller's trade value is skyrocketing tonight, too. For some reason I just feel very comfortable with him being the Hack-A-Someone guy. He fits the role perfectly. Indescribable.

He's decent at offense, too, which is pretty important for the job

I wonder if someone other than Isaiah will start to pick it up. Zeller helped a lot at least.

COME ON BIG ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!

[BudweiserCeltic]

Big test for Zeller now... see if he can keep Drummond off the paint and rebound against him. Only player so far to be able to do so in our team has been Sullinger.

I feel we're about to see Kelly step up

I get sick of people saying we have no go-to scorer in close games. it's basically Thomas's most marketable skill.

thing is, much like hack-a-Drummond being used to exploit his weakness, an opposing PG can just post up IT all day long and make him a liability.  it's been done several times this year.

This game is making me love Stevens.  Some of his tactics remind me of playing video games as a kid and having that one guy who wins every game based on skill, but will resort to the dirtiest tactics to win if need be.  The players look totally done but Stevens is keeping them in it.

Wow, what an absolutely horrible charge call...

I'm assuming this has happened, but it has nothing to do with his ability to be a go-to scorer in close games.

[BudweiserCeltic]

Zeller terrible now.

[jpotter33]

THESE REFS ARE ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE!! THEY CAN'T EVEN CALL AN OBVIOUS OFFENSIVE GOALTENDING CALL!

Not to mention 27-18 fouls. Ridiculous.

[Vox_Populi]

Isaiah will have to play the entire game. He goes out, and an immediate 6-0 run occurs thanks to two turnovers.

[ImShakHeIsShaq]

AINT THIS A BENCH!

Absolutely. May be the defining characteristic of an elite Hack-A-Someone guy.
