Kyrie out tonight, on the 2nd night of a back-to-back... Pickings are ripe..

The fact that Boston isn't at 100 is actually more worrying to me, knowing how we like to match our opponents. Let's go Pistons prove me wrong!

INB4 Daniel Thies drops 20 on us

Luke on Hayward is actually a solid matchup for him since Hayward has lost a step.

Boston's big wings are going to kill us. Let’s just hope our bigs kill them more.

Marcus Smart is gonna end up guarding Blake or something Because without Williams and Baynes Boston really doesn’t have anyone besides Horford who can guard Blake AND Dre

Is Marcus Morris out? If not he and Theis are in the mix for guarding big men. Not to say either can "handle" Blake, but the Pistons are proficient at losing in spite of great efforts from Griffin so IDK if that's the key to the game.

Yeah, I think the Pistons will win tonight. Boston put it all out last night and they are missing Kyrie. The Celtics are the better team, but I think the intangibles favor the Pistons.

Philly made Boston work for it last night, and I think they underestimate how well we have played recently. That being said, I think it will be close and we will lose, unless somebody plays out of their minds tonight (Blake we need another 50 here, bud)

Channel the bad boys and send Tommy Heinsohn’s intoxicated a** in to overdrive   (MY NOTE:  That's 10X World Champion Mister Tom Heinsohn to you, meat)

Boston’s coming off an emotional win, this is their last game before the ASB as well, I think – you could forgive them for letting go of the rope a little bit. Pistons have to come out strong early though.

So Boston is pretty much out of bigs And they’re out their best player. I don’t know how they manage to keep Blake, Dre, Zaza and Thon all in check. All they have is Al Horford, who’s undersized for a center. And Tatum and Hayward are both undersized for PF

They will get thoroughly abused in the paint and if our shooters are on point they will have even more trouble.   Unless, of course, Marcus Smart flops obnoxiously and gets someone ejected.

Seriously, if you just read about the Celtics, it seems like they should be losing a lot more than they actually are losing.  (MY NOTE:  "Losing streak" and all we're still .638 W-L.  That's the 7th best record in the league)

Boston still missing Kyrie and just played last night on the road against Philly which was a very tough fought game. Pistons are humming right now, well rested, and will look to make a statement going into All-Star break, particularly Dre, who is presumably still salty about not being picked.

TERRY ROZIER DOUBTFUL With an illness. They are fresh out of PGs, got to go deep down the bench. I think this turns the tides in our favor. In fact, I’m starting to detect an a** whoopin

Marcus Smart seems to put on his Steph Curry mask when he plays us I dunno if that’s true, but every game he hits at least 1 three and it pisses me off since he can’t shoot

With all the Boston injuries. Have gotta win this game.

Gordon Hes been playing better lately. Reason to worry.

Hoping for a let-down game from the Celts after expending themselves from that statement they made against the East's supposed new superpower.

Honestly no Kyrie, no Rozier doesn’t help us that much. Now there is no one we can get a switch on w Blake for an easy back-down jump hook. can’t believe I didn’t think of that.

Celtics look very energized for this game. We need the bench to play a big role tonight.

We are simply outclassed by any team that’s not a basement dweller.

Boston's defense is on expert mode tonight!

Andre w/ absolutely zero effort to fight through that screen. horford wide open 3. what a disgrace he is sometimes

I hate Andre so much. 7 footer shooting floaters.

hopefully when the celtics go to their bench they suck. we just needa hold them till then

Dre forgot he needs to guard Horford at the 3 line

Celtics look like they have dead legs. Need to capitalize.

Boston’s strategy of giving it to whoever Galloway is guarding really paying off

This is completely on Casey. What a horrible coach.

What's with the garbage THREE attempts! Not going to beat Boston shooting 3’s!

Refs are blind

Pistons had a 17 - 0 run And Celtics are on a 18 – 0 run right now.

Jaylen brown just kills small guards.

Celtics announcers Complaining about not getting calls so far… On the plus side, they did say they woudn’t want to face the Pistons in the playoffs.

Oh no... Tommy Heinsohn... Kill me now

These refs are going out of their way to call nothing on the Celtics

I like all this off the ball holding Celtica are allowed to do on offense. We should try that

This must be wheel of fortune cause the Pistons cant buy a foul

Tony Brothers crew really shining in this one

We see it time and time again against the NBAs golden teams. Really not surprised.

Smothers brothers would officiate better!

Wait a second here did these guys(Celtics) play last(tired) night?

Ellington is hot trash. Who the hell was excited to sign this guy? Pistons recruited him like he was Kobe. Hope buyers remorse kicks in over the all star break and they cut his a**.

When Smart out performs our starting pg and back up guards by himself.

Protest any game officiated by Tony Brothers for the rest of the year He’s done this garbage to us so many times this year

Wow the refs are robbing us tonight!

I think Tom Heinsohn Might charge the court and go after these officials.

Damn... I've been criticizing the refs all game Yet the pistons have 20fta to the celtics’ 7

Funny just turned on the game Have the Boston stream up and the announcers are whining about how unfair the refs have been to Boston "20 free throws to 7". Read chat here and everyone is whining about the refs for Detroit. This is why I don't whine about refs.

Marcus Smart only hits 3's against us

Marcus "Curry" Smart

Right when you think we might turn the corner. They play all those crappy teams and win and get our hope's up. Then lose to a team missing key players

Why isnt Smart starting in the All Star game

We're getting beat by Marcus ****ing Smart

Embarrassing on every level. No effort. No defense. Can't shoot as usual. Completely careless. Goodnight.

Can we all just appreciate the quality of these whistles. They never wear out even after 1000s of blows tonight

At the very least, all these fouls seemed to have slowed the Celtics momentum. If the Pistons are going to get back in it it’s gotta be now

Smart really trying to put the nail in the coffin for us

So now Marcus is a sniper???

Smart turns into Steph Curry every time we play the Celtics

Celtics are doing all of this without Kyrie as well

Why do people assume Boston needs kyrie? They have gone deep into the playoffs without that bum.

Didn’t they go to the ecf without him last year?

Rosier hasn’t played too. And kyrie is a top 3 PG in the league

Celtic win probability is 99.3%. We still have a chance

Gores want to “win now” and “compete for a title” but we can’t even hang with Boston without kyrie

Boston playing dirty tonight, and getting away with it

Boston’s crowd is 99.9% white lmfao

The .1 percent is the Celtics bench

I really hope we don’t see Boston or Philly in the play offs horrible matchup for us

Oh wow, look what happens when we play a team with a pulse. Even when they’re on a back to back

We just have to get the 1 seed so we can face Charlotte in the 1st round

Reggie ran off scared rather than challenge that dunk from Theis.

A Horford 3 was possibly the worst thing that could've happened right there. I really wish Dre would stop leaving him open for 3

They got this. If T-Mac can come back down by 10 in 60 seconds we can come back down by 13 with 4 minutes

Horford 3, Blake offensive foul, Smart 3 Bye Bye come back attempt


F u Horford flagrant 2 the refs better give us 2 free throws

Could’ve gouged his eye out

Al Horford is such a loser.
