The 1-2-2 is laughable. It probably surprised the Celts a bit, but if Detroit tries to do that again they will get carved to pieces. That's not a defense that you use for long stretches in the NBA much less against a good team.
The Pistons were smart to use it, historically the Pistons always trap hard when they are getting blown out or have to force the issue at the end of games and they are good at it, but it should not at all be some type of serious concern for the Celts.

What happened? I could of sworn I heard at least 20 times on ESPN and all the media outlets (as well as several posters on here) that the Celtics CAN'T win on the road. It simply just cannot possibly happen. They were 0-6 on the road, thus it was 100% impossible for them to ever win a road game again.
Great win by the C's to take back homecourt. KG was great, Perk was just rock solid, the D was phenominal and the role players were huge in that 1st half.

This is the Post of the Night----The Pistons play borderline dirty all the time...they push off and flop all night-----Look at that 2nd foul on KG----SHOULD have been a grabbing foul on Rip Hamilton--but NOPE,the refs call the offensive foul on KG-----Detroit knows how the idiot refs see things---and they take advantage----Celtics are TOO HONEST when they play.

No it should go to Perk. He was amazing tonight. His effort was off the charts, he was the only one to give 100% the entire game. He rebounded like a monster and when he wasn't getting the boards he was boxing out. He was almost perfect from the field. His defense was absolutely phenominal, we couldn't have won the game without Perk tonight.
