The Celtics can't win; it's not a Game 7. It's a law now.

The Pistons win 100-5.

The Celtics 5 points are scored when Paul Pierce trips just past mid-court, slamming the ball off his knee in the process, and it goes in for a 3-pointer. Rip Hamilton, who was near the foul line but was nevertheless on the same side of the court as Pierce, gets called for a Flagrant 2. Pierce hits both free throws.

Exactly what I thought. However, I do like it.

Hamilton is the leading scorer for the Piston, right? Without Hamilton's production, I don't like the Piston's chances to win. Boston is looking to close this series out tonight, I expect the Celtics to play fiercely. Hamilton's scoring would be sorely missed if he can't play, or isn't contributing while on the floor.

Ray Allen seems to be finding his 3-point range. He is a great shooter, glad to see him find his groove. He's had the occasional crafty move around the basket, definitely an improvement over earlier playoff performances.

Boston up 5.

Hamilton looked like he got Cassell better with that knee actually.

Stuckey says GTFO.
