I know a lot of people think the Pistons are the heavy favorite in this series. I am not one of them. I think this thing is about 50/50, and will most likely go 7 games. All 3 of the games these teams played in the regular season were great battles. This should be a very entertaining series.

Boston 87
Detroit 86

The short turnaroud period is tough for the Celtics, but maybe Detroit will be a bit rust after 8 days without a game. And it's still to be determined if CB will be 100%. I'll take the C's in a close one. They are still undefeated at home.

I hate lime koolaid

Detroit 105
Boston 90

C's win in 7! They will be 12-9 recordwise, after this series is over (hahaha!!!)


C's 91
Pistons 89

People forget how much match-ups matter. Detroit had a tough time with a hard nosed 76ers team. Outside of maybe a 1 game hot shooting night I don't see the Piston's getting much more than 90 points in any of these games.

If either of these teams gets real hot shooting they will win, but I'm guessing it will be a defensive struggle with the odds going to the home team and the luck of the bounces

87 - C's
79 - Pistons

From Detroit's schedule
Wed, Dec 19 @ Boston W 87-85
Wed, Mar 5 @ Boston L 78-90

Celtics 93
Piston 87

Allen goes 0 - 14.

Rip counters with 2 - 16.

That was a nice game 7...should be an instant classis...Pierce really carried the C's and funny how they looked to PJ Brown down the stretch...

Piston 90 - C' 85

Pistons in 5

I honestly had no problem with this team before they needed 7 games to finish off the Hawks(8th seed) and the Cavs. They walked into the playoffs with the best record in the NBA and needed 14 games in order to get to the ECF. They don't deserve to win anything if they cannot win on the road. People constantly mention that they are undefeated at home in the playoffs. Well, in order to win it all, you cannot depend on winning every game at home. Last time I checked they were still ofer on the road.

Also, none of the big three have won anything yet. You all say that players need to prove themselves by winning, hence the Parker/Duncan argument and all of their rings, and then you turn around and bow to the big three who haven't proved squat in the playoffs.

LOL......keep looking through those shades. Should we talk about hypocritical statements again? Until they learn to win on the road, imo, they cannot win it all. Unfortunately for all their fans, I highly doubt that they will learn that playing in the ECF against Detroit or in the finals if they continue to win all of their home games. I can pretty much guarantee that Boston will lose a home game in either the ECF or the finals. If not, I am sure there is a record for the most home games won while losing all road games on the road to the championship.

Exactly...

I am going to surprise some people probably...but even if the Celtics lose all the road games and win all the home games, that would equal a championship...hence making KG a true champion...
