IMO, Rondo is the X factor. He sucked in last nights game. Ray Ray sucked too, but you know Ray will bounce back. Rondo looked lost kinda like TA earlier in the season. If Rondo bounces back, and has a good game, it will be competitive, and be close, with us having a good chance for revenge, but if Rondo plays like he did last night, it will still be competitive because of the Big Tree, but we will not win.

this game SHOULD be on national tv, but its not. boooo! the best matchup all season long will be boston-detroit. every game should be televised.
this will be a HUGE game for us. if we lose, once again we'll have to put up with everyone criticizing us, AND detroit will be even closer to us in the standings. right now, arent they 2 1/2 games back?!?!? thats crazy with our fast start.
GO CELTICS!!!!! play smart, with control and fire.

Pistons are on fire right now, and they are looking very good, so they are probably the favorites to beat the Celtics in this game. However i really don't care. This is a regular season game. The Pistons are not going to keep playing like this all year, and it looks as though they may have peaked a little too early. They are a very good basketball team, but not as good as they have been playing during their winning streak.

I hope the guys can stay calm and keep a good focus, and not get thrown off no matter what is happening. Play with passion. Play hard. Believe.
I also hope my man Rondo can gather his energies, put last night well behind him, and play at his best --- which is very impressive indeed and gives the team a real boost.
The Pistons are so cool and so tough and so united after all these years that this one is certainly the big challenge.
I believe the Celtics can win this if they're in peak form.
