Great job by the Celts hanging in there. The Pistons are playing the best ball they've played ALL season and are only up 4 at home?...not good for the Pistons.

Lol! KG has lost some too..do you not want any part of him... and he had to balance it on the baseline as well...

Lets hope they don't lose by one.

Considering how poorly they played, they have to feel pretty confident to only be down 4.

Ok pros and cons of that half
Pro
We played good D and they made tough shots, if we keep it up they might start missing.

Con,
we shot horribly, hopefully we heat up. KG let himself get frustrated we did not have good ball movment and the passes we made tended to be lazy

Pro. Perk Played great

Con Perk is in real foul trouble

Pro Allen had a couple of nice moments towards the end

Con, none of them was a jumpshot, what we really need to do

Pro, Doc put in eddie house at the end of the quarter

Con, Sam cassell played the rest of the game, if Hunter is not in it needs to be eddie not sam.

Pro we are down by just 4

Con we played horrible

This game might come down to how its officiated, which normally doesnt bode well for us.

Only 4 points down at the half. Good job hanging in! Just come out focused and with energy in the second and we will win this game!

Perkins gets my first half cigar.

He played like a crazy man the last five minutes.

The energy was contagious.

Why didn't they count Rondo's free throw? It seemed like they blew the whistle as the ball was bouncing in...isn't it the refs job to stop the play before he shots?

I hope you are right. The big three can't play any worse, so things should perk up. Speaking of Perk, Doc buries Perk in the second half. I hope Perk gets some run.

37% shooting and 11 turnovers and the Big 3 have made 3 shots and only down 4. Detroit has to be worried.

we need energy at the start of the 2nd half if we have a chance to win. I wouldn't mind seeing Tony on the floor just for the first three minutes or so just to help set a tone

If we don't raise the energy level drastically, this game is lost. We need to take them right out of the game in the first minutes of the second half.

Wow, it's a freakin' miracle we are down 4 points. That was just a pitiful half, at least for the majority of it (nice little run to end the quarter). Considering how awful we shot, how often we turned it over and really how badly we played...I can't complain about being down 4 at all. We have a chance to steal this game if we can just get our **** together in the 2nd half.

We need the offense out of KG. He can't just become a passer because he missed a couple of shots he usually hits, keep attacking and keep taking your shots. You'll hit them eventually.

Well, people say if we play good, we can win. But if Detroit plays better than good, we just can't win. We also have to hope that Detroit lets up again.

We definitely need to come out swinging in the 3rd or it's going to be a long 2nd half.

Rondo had an open lane to the basket but he pulled back and went to a corner and got trapped. That's just DUMB!
