Q at the qtr -
Boston is hanging in with good - not great play. They have an advantage on the boards but are not at an advantage in those guard matchups. Still I am encouraged with everyone stepping up and being counted.
'Sheed still looks like he is on summer vacation for the Pistons.

Defense has shown up for the Celtics and they forced Detriot into a quick 2nd qtr timeout. This Rondo, Allen, Wally Z, Jeff, and Kandi combo is working decently.

Quinnie Point for 'Kandi for his defensive work on Rashweed. The C's are not exactly reminding me of those vintage fastbreak teams of the 60's and 70's but they are pushing the ball and getting shots they want and more of them are falling.
Boston is getting control of this affair.

Last 4 minutes have featured problems for the Celtics - careless Turnovers - sloppy board work and Rip is moving without the ball and the Pistons are going to him. As a result the Celtics have lost their momentum.

I just saw the celtics dance team. They are so bad. i mean I know we are trampling on Red's grave here but seriously, if we wer gonna have a dance team they should be hotter, better dancers, and more whorish than any other team in the L. Instead they aren't that good lookin and aren't as good a dance team as my college team AT ALL!

Boy what a tough end to a half. A missed goal tending call, and a cheap three point FG at the end has Detriot down one. Really, the story is turnovers for the Celtics and not many on the other side. I hope we win this game because I do not like our chances in Washington tomorrow.

I like Perk, he is getting called on bs fouls. Rondo adds a lot more than Bassy. Tony Allen is not a player i enjoy watching, and at this point seems to be playing his own game, and not adding anything to the team, Al J looks good. I do like this team a lot.

OK Detriot is flat out taking it to us, Telfair cannot make a simple entry pass to Jefferson- you call him a PG. Pierce has to do it for them. Szerbiak lost his cool. Doc needs the Big lineup to beat up Detriot. It takes more than Coach saying you are playing passive, DOC
