I could be wrong on this, but I don't recall too many Pistons fans complaining when Billups was flopping and getting several questionable calls his way in the first and third games vs. Boston this season. There's all kinds of complaining when it's the other way. I understand some Celtics fans are like this as well so I'm not going after one fan base. Every team board I've been on has some fans who are like this that actually has a lot of members. I just wish there was more honesty among sports fans.

I see both teams winning at home from this point and us facing Celts tired after 7-game series and all-time high 21 playoff games overall - with Lakers after only respectively 5 and 16 games. Go all home teams - but only until the Finals! :D

KG has to have a dominant mvp type performance tonight, he's just due, he's gotta have one of those signature playoff games like LBJ did last year against the pistons in game 5.

It will be interesting to see how the celtics come out and defend mcdyess.

Game time: 8:00 on ESPN

KG never takes over but gets his 22/12 on 55% shooting.

Its Pierce that can explode for 40+ and take over the game...

I watched Tayshaun play against Pierce in 3 regular season games this year in which Pierce averaged 15 pts (3rd least against any team) on 36% fg (4th worst against any team) in 39.7 mpg (4th most against any team). :wink:

In 4 playoff games, Pierce is averaging 18.8 pts (less than what he averaged against Lebrons defense), on 46%fg 25% 3pt (his worst of the playoffs) while committing 4.5 topg :o in 42 mpg. (his most of the playoffs).

I never did like how in team introductions the announcers always say "at one guard" and "at the other guard"
