Boston Celtics at Detroit Pistons, Mar 2, 2010 6:30 PM CST
For a while it looked like the Pistons just might post their first winning month since Dec. 2008. Instead, they finished their final trip out west of the season with a three-game losing streak, limping back to the Palace just in time to host the Boston Celtics tonight.
Fortunately, the Celtics are hardly tearing things up recently, as well, losing three of their last four, including Saturday to the lowly Nets, who won for just the sixth time all year.
This one could be closer than each team's respective record suggests, especially if Ben Wallace and Jason Maxiell abuse Rasheed Wallace like they did on Jan. 20, the last time these teams met, which most fans will likely agree still stands as this season's signature win for the Pistons.
Apologies for the abbreviated preview, but the ball is about to tip. Head's up for out-of-market fans -- this one is also being broadcast by NBA TV. Here's to hoping they're using the home team's feed, since tonight also coincides with the Palace's 3rd Annual Pistons Care Telethon.

Well, he usually does a slow motion pump fake and hesitates instead of just pulling the trigger. Both of his shots have looked good and aggressive.

they were both long 2's
second one was while he was standing on the 3 line.
Do we have a feed for this game somewhere?
Jonas Jerebko once killed a charging female rhinoceros in heat protecting its young with nothing more than a hook shot.
Today's LB James news made me think
By changing to #6 is he just trying to be more like ben wallace?
lol
See my problem with piston pick and rolls is this
When Ben sets a pick, players just double team the gaurd. in that situation Ben needs to roll hard to the basket and make himself a threat to score.
anyone want Sheed back?
Now I know why a lot of you guys were down on Sheed last year. He’s infuriating to root for
Yes! Behind the scenes action with weird people talking and stuff during breaks! The best kind of feed.
I don't know how this teams expects to be
competitive during the playoffs if they can’t rebound worth a damn…
Bynum
The Cs had Bynum years ago… and have been trying to find a backup PG ever since. I really like that fiesty little guy, who was Tony Allen’s HS teammate, BTW
Pitino cut Ben Wallace
after trying to make him a SF….seriously
did you know
if a player is injured while being fouled and cannot attempt free throws. The OPPOSING COACH chooses the player off of the bench to replace the injured player and take his free throws.
this is why CV shot 2 FT's with a pound and a half of gauze in in his nose
back when he was trying to seem tough
Will Bynum, making use of that height advantage
over nate robinson.
nope. 9
didn’t count the guys sitting on the bench
yeah, you got me.
i’d put the over under at 11, as long as we leave daye in there
Somehow Austin Daye is currently our scoring leader
I watched it happen and I still don’t believe it
Crazy idea putting him in.
So crazy it just might work…
Daye, thanks for steppin' up kiddo
Jerebko is taking all the fame.

Do you think Prince is happy the Pistons have Daye?
So Prince isn’t the skinniest guy on the team? When those guys stand next to each other, it looks like the number 11.
if I were prince i'd have been pissed
they drafted 3 guys to play his position. that should send a message
The message it sent
was that Joe was REALLY tired of not having a decent backup SF. How many years has it been since Taay had a decent back-up? I’d say 2004, back with Corliss. Joe just figured if he drafted enough SF, one of them had to turn out sooner or later
What can I say?
I love making light of the misfortunes of others.
he made a few hundred thousand dollars
pretty dang fortunate for a kid who slept through all his classes
Garnett actually makes a basket
and of course he starts jawing. I can’t wait for Maxiell to eat some of his babies.
Off work early, Pistons on the TV, tacos and Negra Modelo
and my DBB fam. Feeling good.
"I didn’t even know Elvis was from Memphis, I thought he was from Tennessee." — Drew Gooden.
Why are you guys so down on Charlie V?
He’s looked good against the Cs. I know they overpaid for him by 30% or so, but that s the NBA
We signed him to be a low post threat
but he has turned out to be just a Sheed clone, without the defense. And he is inconsistent as hell
No defense and no rebounding
Lazy fouls et al. He makes us crazy.
No defense and no rebounding makes Garrett something something…..

I was tempted to use that,
but if no one got it then I’m just that crazy guy talking about himself in the third person. Jimmy doesn’t like people that talk about themselves in the third person.

He has alot of time to pontificate
since the Wolves shitcanned him.
"I didn’t even know Elvis was from Memphis, I thought he was from Tennessee." — Drew Gooden.
It’s funny how quickly all the negative things someone says about a player start to be the only thing you see after they play poorly. CV came in with labels of soft, slow, poor defender, inconsistent offense, poor rebounder for his size. And because he hasn’t been playing well for a while, all of those things just keep coming to the forefront. He needs to string together a number of good games and play defense for a change.
yeah, he’s really not so bad when he’s doing the exact opposite of what he’s been doing right now
by the89oracle on Mar 2, 2010 7:46 PM CST up reply actions 1 recs
Haha, yeah. He’s not necessarily all of those things. But he’s pretty much playing like that now. He can get better though.

Jonas Jerebko cannot be stopped, you can only hope to contain him
Where in the world is Cheikh Samb?
We all know KG is on his last...well.. leg.
Tell him to get the diaper off his leg, and then he’ll be as good as Jonas. Since he got his ring, he doesn’t have half the heart Jerebko has. Go on with that trash Celtics grabasser
Cuz he's showing off for his grandparents
I want to see them don the viking helms.
I aint never heard Garnett get a toot off no viking horn.
Just sayin.

Watching OKC be kinda awesome
makes me furious they’re not in Seattle anymore.
Yeah, that team is so awesome
Which makes it hurt even more. Plus, they’d be SO MUCH cooler with Seattle’s uniforms vs. the D-League shit they’ve got now. The Sonics (excluding the horrible mid 90’s-early 2000’s misstep) had my favorite uni’s in the NBA.

Double Agreed.
I loved their colors, logos, players.. loved that team as a kid. And I love that city too.

Absolutely
You nailed it with the D-league. Nice to see KD in the emerald green and yellow.
God, I love watching a dejected Celtics team
Their misery SUSTAINS ME.

Great third quarter,
but are we going to fall apart in the fourth as usual? I think JJ leads us to victory like the warrior he is.

Sorry I'm late
But I was looking at the box score – is this really good defense or does everybody just suck at shooting the ball?
there has to be a better way of saying "got into the paint" than penetrating
i know i have a dirty mind, but.. seriously

"I didn’t even know Elvis was from Memphis, I thought he was from Tennessee." — Drew Gooden.
Looking at the box score
You would think the difference in the game is 3-point shooting: 9-17 vs. 1-16,
Hate to say it,
but Big Baby and Nate Robinson have been the difference.
What worse...
The fact that we have been terrible from three? Or the fact that we have taken 16 shots from outside despite not having any real 3 point threats?
BG is a 3 point threat. so is daye
Tayshaun and Rip are average, usually. i mean.. for their careers. maybe not this year

Garnett got good position in the post against JJ
and JJ held his ground, so KG passed out for a sheed 3. good D JJ
Put the ball in Ben Wallace's hands.
Curse you basketball gods!

Smart play by Pierce fouling Wallace
I m surprised NBA players don;t do more of that subtle fouling of bad FT shooters in he final minute. If Wallace (or a Shaq, for example) tries to set a pick int he final minutes, why not just run into it and foul?
So now Stuckey and JJ are the only
players in our rotation who haven’t been injured (well, and max, but he almost doesn’t count)
rodney and ben are the only ones capable of playing all 82 though

sit your ass down Tony Allen
punkass bitch
only reason you’re still on the Celtics is because no one else in the league thinks your tiredass has any value
Danny Ainge: “So you’re saying you don’t want Tony Allen?”
Every other GM in the league: “You mean the guy who blew out his knee on an unnecessary 360 dunk attempt a couple years ago?”
Danny Ainge: “Yeah, but he’s a young kid. Solid defender!”
Every other GM in the league: “Fuck no, that guy can’t even dribble the basketball. and I don’t want Big Baby either”

I hate losing to the Celtics.
Now it’s time to watch Lost.
So our SG took 6 fewer shots than our PG, but had one more assist.
Nice stat lines for Jerebko and Prince.
Since it wasn't a blowout
I guess we gotta save Robocop for another night
"I didn’t even know Elvis was from Memphis, I thought he was from Tennessee." — Drew Gooden.
A nonfactor
with some lazy fouls because he didn’t box-out Big Baby.
despite what you hear
it was Ben Gordon’s faul we lost this game.
i only got to see the last 4 minutes of the game
but i was tuning in periodically via radio and heard cv get a couple of fouls which sounded like he got since he was playing shit d. also he shot 3 3’s in a couple of minutes during the 2nd. sounded like a crap nite for him.
Detroit had the right idea to start this game
by driving that ball at the Celtics’ defense, but they got threepoint happy once they went tot heir bench. 20 threes for the worst team in the league from there isn’t smart. The Cs outscored them by 18 points there despite taking 2 less shots.
Detroit has a weird team. There seems to be a lot of talent on the roster, but its’ going to be a difficult balancing act developing promising rookie while playing your vets. There’s a lot of duplication on the roster, and even though there’s a group of solid players at the top of the rotation, like Rip, Prince, Charlie, Gordon, Stuckey, there’s no superstar and no real PG. If Chauncey was still there, it would be a different story. He could make this mis-mash roster work.
Detroit has some talented players, but
They are missing some key skills. None of the bigs has a post offense; nobody is shooting 3-pointers well, and the team as a whole shoots FTs badly. That means scoring consists of mid-range jumpers, and one-on-one drives to the basket that are often easily defensed by clogging the middle.
Kriz, wherever you are,
I wanted to give props for your Cheikh Samb tag. I noticed it the other day and I was actually scouring the web that day to find out where in the sega genesis he went.
I was thinking about the kid the other day, and felt an impulse to ask the interwebs the question.
Where in the world is Cheikh Samb?
Well, another almost win, where a bunch of guys almost played as good as we think they should. At the end of the day, it’s just one more loss closer to an impact player in the lottery who can help us turn the franchise around … I can’t believe it’s come to that.
Oh, and if Ben Wallace’s knee is anything more than just normal soreness, this season is going to get even harder to watch than it already is.
i was thinking that too
how many times have we talked about how ben wallace is the only one playing d and what it would look like if he wasnt on the team. well, we are about to find out possibly.
The only one playing D? Don't let Jonas read this
or you shall feel his wrath.
Where in the world is Cheikh Samb?
Missed all but the last two minutes of the first half because of work...
What was tonight’s storyline?
Nate Robinson shooting deadly
Daye playing well early in the game, same great effort from Wallace.. Jerebko contesting the Celts on Defense and offense.
Rondo putting the dagger in late in the game w/free throws. DET & BOS traded leads man times.
There’s more but I’m tired.

I know you pretty much despise Ben Gordon in a Pistons uniform, Gulk

"I didn’t even know Elvis was from Memphis, I thought he was from Tennessee." — Drew Gooden.
Yeah, I don’t like Gordon, and TBH, I may never like Gordon. But I didn’t mean this comment as a gripe. Just a question about value for the dollar.
Right now Gordon is playing like garbage, so Nate is more bang for your buck.. When Gordon plays like he’s actually capable, we’ll all sing Kumbaya and be happy again.

so I was wondering if...
anyone else knew that the blind bernstein is running for attorney general in michigan?
Who is this "Bernstein" you speak of?
I’ve never heard of him. Perhaps he should be in a commercial or something…
Perhaps even fashion an entire studio
in which a man could sit and discuss the current maladies with which our fair Pistons team have been afflicted.
