Pistons (12-6) at Celtics (18-3) Game #22 11/27/17

Imagine that...for the first time the whole starting lineup has a negative +/- but the bench is all positive

[tarheelsxxiii]

Pretty confident that Tommy has a serious drinking problem.  No judgment, just sayin.

why didn't Baynes play more than 12 minutes tonight?
it seems like Drummond was someone that Al just couldn't defend well all night

[positivitize]

We missed too many Free Throws and got out rebounded too bad to have as many turnovers as we did and still expect to come away with a win.

Glad it was as close as this was. Drummond and Bradley look like a great combination.

[BlastFromThePast]

Kyrie just couldn't buy a bucket down the stretch.  Happens some games.  Too much reliance on his inside the paint step backs and rolling to the rim?

good game despite the loss

[CelticsElite]

In a game where smart drops 20, we should be blowing out the other team.

[CelticSooner]

Detroit played great. Tip your cap. They have some good road wins.

[gouki88]

Kyrie lost us this game. Just terrible, terrible, terrible decision-making.

Yeah, definitely wasn't Al being eaten alive by Drummond or us barely shooting 50% from the line

[BringToughnessBack]

They flat out outplayed us. 

[jpotter33]

Kyrie lost us this game. Just terrible, terrible, terrible decision-making.

Kyrie did not play well. But to say he lost the game is a stretch at best. Offensive rebounds, misses free throws, 16 turnovers,  bad defense lost them the game.

Well let's just say it was mostly Kyrie's fault then. His decision-making was p----poor all night long. 6 TOs and countless bad shots really hurt us down the stretch.

Because Brad S wants to "save his minutes" to match him up against big dudes that have killed us in the past. Like Drummond. Except when he doesn't.

There's no shame in giving up 20 rebounds though. It's not like you need to rebound to win the game or anything.

[MJohnnyboy]

Hell if it weren't for Smart turning into Stephen Curry, this would have been a blow-out loss.

[Atzar]

I wasn't able to watch the game, but 26 points off of turnovers for Detroit seems like the key stat of the night to me.

I mean, he may be into the drink a lot but I don’t see the problem
