Chauncey is not 100%, he said so himself. He gave his all last night and his stats showed and they won. He will NOT be able to perform like that again unless he wants to tear his hamstring. The only way they will be able to pull out the series win is if Stuckey steps his game up against rondo when chauncey is on the bench. The Celtics have an advantage with the Big 3, just in my opinion on the match-ups the only one who is better is Hamilton over Allen. Hamilton is the most consistent player on the Pistons, and Allen is just streaky. But when Allen is hot, he will light up the pistons for 20+ in any given quarter.

The Pistons just have to have bench production and find a way to run the floor when Chauncey is not playing. He played well last night, and it was a CLOSE game. Game 1 he didn't produce, and neither did Stuckey. As long as those 2 combined can get 20+ points and 10+ assists, then they can pull it out. If not, then detroits gonna go another year ending their season in the eastern conference finals.

This is the most absurd post I have ever seen. Talk about not knowing a single thing about basketball especially the Pistons.

After the cheap shot that Hamilton had on Garnett in the face last night... there is no way he should be playing tomorrow.. but if the pistons want to take shots like that.. just ask Atlanta and Cleveland.. Boston can play to..

Cheap shot, his elbow didn't even touch him from the angles I saw and if it did, it barely got him. Rip Hamilton is no where near a dirty player.

Boston won't win a game in Detroit knowing that Detroit will finally get some calls their way being their homecourt. They also have the best and loudest crowds in the NBA especially during the playoffs. Detroit has been getting the raw end of the stick foul wise getting reached in on and no calls and then Boston getting such cheap calls. I think Detroit makes a statement tomorrow with a big win. Expect Stuckey and Hunter to be big factors off the bench with Maxiell as well.

Guys/Gals I personally think it is to early to count them out and no I am not a Celtics fan at all, I was personally going for the Cav's. However, they have to find a way to win on the road or they can forget about it. Daniel.
