Game Tips at 8:00 EST
Detroit Pistons: 23-43 (7-25 road)
Boston Celtics: 41-24 (19-12 home)
Oppo Research
Keys for Detroit
Mind the frontcourt -- Kevin Garnett is the new Antonio McDyess, so guard him accordingly. Kendrick Perkins can do some more damage, but I think the Pistons have the bodies to nullify him a bit.
Play Rondo right -- Rondo put up solid numbers against Cleveland, but it took him 40 minutes to get 16 points, 6 assists, and 8 rebounds. He's the best player on the team, so Detroit would be happy with this stat line.
Play Daye - I'm going to cut and paste this for the rest of the season.
Question of the Game
Will 'Sheed dribble the ball off his boobs? That would be funny to see.

C'mon guys, we need to do better!
Our last showing was pathetic. Unacceptable. I know that no one expected the game against the Hawks to be competitive, but that is still no excuse for us, as an online community of fans, to only put out 32 posts in an honest-to-god game thread. We should be ashamed. Its time to put that behind us. We need to all pull together and give 110% and all that. Its time to post like we’ve never posted before, to show that the DBB community is better than what we’ve been showing recently. Anything less than 300 posts tonight will be unacceptable.
Oh, and I hope we beat the Celtics. That would be great.
Not looking good
on that 300+ goal so far

I sorry to say I haven't been helping much
I’ve spent almost all my time searching for a link that didn’t suck. I promise to do better in the second quarter
Speaking of which...
Was I the only one who watched that clip and wondered just how white-trash the photographers were? Which is worse: that they had a road kill squirrel in their house, that they had an opossum in their house, or the fact that instead of trying to remove them both they decided to videotape the whole thing?
Was there volume?
I had my computer’s volume at max and couldn’t hear anything.

Any injury is bad
but we needed Tay to prove his previous back injury was perfectly healed if we want to have any hope of trading him this summer. This might make things more difficult.
looked like
his lower back was driving into the ground and the knee to the upper back prevented it from having a clean fall …. as clean of a call as it could have been.

Besides my desire to see all human beings healthy and in good spirits…here’s my vote for Tayshaun staying out the rest of the season and Austin Daye getting Tay’s 37 minutes a game!
Depends on Tay's health
if he’s ok, I’d like to see him play the minutes that show other teams he’s still healthy and not an injury concern. Daye needs to play, but I think Tay needs to be flaunted as possible trade bait as well.

I agree with this.
Daye’s time will come. Tay was in the middle of becoming a really hot trade piece for the off-season. Now he’s … I don’t know what.

Awesome
I walk in late, immediately see a Rasheed dunk (the first since 2005 by my count) and find out Tay’s back exploded. Awesome. Angry Michigan BLANK Hating God is no longer content to smite just UofM players, but has extended his wrath east towards Detroit.

Angry Michigan BLANK Hating God
This past year for Michigan, the Tigers, Pistons, and Red Wings completely confirms his existence. It also confirms that we have all been very bad in a previous life and, lo, we must repent. REPENT.
Also, don’t laugh all you State fans, Angry Michigan BLANK Hating God causing a first round upset is completely within his wheel house.
I am saying
That Angry Michigan BLANK Hating God is totally out of control.
Side note: this might blasphemy from a Michigan alum, but I’m a big fan of what Tom Izzo does for MSU. He’s a great coach, and I love the way they play. I want to take State as a dark horse, but the vortex of suck that exists within the borders of the state makes that a difficult choice for me.
Agreed
Izzo is one of the best coaches in the country, and the best BY FAR in the Big Ten. And this is coming from a current Michigan student.

So wait...
Was Jon Barry suggesting that the Pistons NOT wait until the last 2 seconds of the clock to take a shot? How delightfully absurd!
Why, that’s as crazy as defending the pick and roll or perimeter!

Unbelievable. Boston is averaging 98 points per game, and we give up 64 in the first half. What a joke.
bynum's skills are uniquely suited for coming back from down 30
he thrives when nobody else cares and he can do whatever he wants.
Honestly..
i think this is my breaking point. This team is showing ZERO effort on defense. They’re playing selfishly on offense… there’s nothing i like about this team right now. It’s sad.

really sucks. Just really sloppy writing that is uncharacteristic from the show. There’s always a certain amount of “suspend all belief” moments in the show, but this season has taken it to a new level.

I hate Rasheed Wallace.
Now I understand the vitriol Pistons fans had for the guy last season. He’s a cancerous slug that has polluted the Celtics this season. I think he might be the worst rotation big in the entire league. Between the horrible three point shooting, the unwillingness to post up, the lousy help defense, the hacking any time anyone drives to the hoop, and the lousy attitude, there’s not a lot to like there.
Do you guys want him back? At this point, I’d take Kwame and one of Rip’s surplus face masks back for him.
I loved Sheed when he was on the Pistons
I thought I was gonna hate him on the Celtics, turns out I don’t. I love what he is doing for them.

I hope that Rasheed is deliberately sabotaging the Celtics
I feel certain that he despises those guys. Rasheed has the best BS detector of any player in the NBA. He knows the Celtics are a bunch of jerk phonies, bullies who flee as soon as anyone pushes back at them. Even if he wants to try for them, there’s no way his heart can be in it, because Rasheed is incapable of faking emotion.
He’s not one of them and he never can be. So he’s cashing his check and evidently doesn’t care whether they win. It’s the best.

Wait...
Is that THE Michael Finley? He looks like he’s 64 years old. Man, we are not good at the game of “basketball”.
This isn’t Pistons basketball. What defense …. if this was 82-80 going into the 4th, it would begin to resemble the franchise’s DNA … easy 100 pts to opponents almost every night … 2 ‘name’ FAs who don’t play defense, trading Billups for a player known to not play defense, is there something wrong with defense? I kind of like 69-73 games with 38 seconds to go in the game. Screw the rest of the country and the league.
Good. Bad. I'm the guy with the gun.

What you described is better basketball than what the 2010 squad seems to be able to offer.
As you said, I prefer it, and do not give a ratshit about TV or the rest of the country, because they have never liked us.
"I didn’t even know Elvis was from Memphis, I thought he was from Tennessee." — Drew Gooden.
Hey there Pistons fans.
Not here to rub it in.
I was here a while ago, I believe last week, when Stuckey got carried off the court in that scary moment where all we knew was that he had a seizure. That impressed me and I noted that I hoped you’d fare better in this game.
I’m sorry to see that your squad is in such dismay. I know we’re having a “bad stretch” over in Boston, but I guess we should appreciate more what we do have.
Again, I’m not here to rub it in, I just want to say I hope Prince and Stuckey will be alright asap.
Good luck out there, Detroit.

Kwame Brown is
always ready to provide a few chuckles.
Say what you will about CV
But he’s still hustling out there.
Not debating the contract
Just trying to point out that he appears to give half a crap. Which seems rare out of this team.
they're all demotivated
by his contract.
i’d half ass it too, if Joe was my GM, making these decisions.
Good. Bad. I'm the guy with the gun.
still?
As if he hustled before? He’s probably finally realizing he’s in during garbo time with rookies who will (should) be having his minutes.

if charlie wants to give back 90 percent of his contract
and we can circumvent some rules against renegotiations, fine by me, in fact, i’d encourage charlie to donate his salary to charity.

Paying him for what he’s given us is charity already

I never wish injury on another player
But if KG were to suffer another injury, I hope it’s because he pulled a Gramatica and celebrated a little too enthusiastically.
It wasn’t the Nate dunk that upset me as much as it was KG walking out to mid-court with his arms raised in triumph like a dbag.
yeah it was already known that he's a big DB
