What a game. The Celtics forgot to bring their 'A' game, and instead brought their 'B-" game. They really didn't play well enough to win tonight, yet they somehow hung in there. I'll say this though, Chauncey Billups is the new Sam Cassell. That guy has balls the size of Volvo's. Totally unafraid to take any shot, always seems to come up big. Why can't we get guys like that? Wait, we can, except we trade them 30 games into their rookie year.
The Pistons kept the C's out of their game the entire night, not allowing them to push the ball and forcing them into a half court offense. It didn't hurt either that Detroit shot lights out from three point land. Gotta love the kahunas on Ray Allen too though, coming up huge in the last minute or so of the game with a couple of big shots. Celtics were settling for jumpers way too often, they need to take it to the rim and get to the line. The referees didn't exactly help their case tonight as it seemed that none of the calls were going our way. For a while there in the third quarter, I thought the game was going to get away from them and a scrum was going to break out.
Overall, they showed that they can hang with the best. Its only December, so I'll be curious to see what happens when these two teams play again come February/March.
Not much else going on really. Lots to do before Saturday though. Clean the house, finish shopping, clean the house, wrap presents and clean the house.

I was at the game last night- terrible execution by the Celts in the last minute. With a tie score, they should have just run down the clock for a last-second shot. Worst case scenario, they miss and it goes to OT. Instead, crappy shot, Pistons rebound, foul, Chauncey makes his free throws, game over. Boooo.
