Victory. I always predict victory, BUT this time I have a reason: I think finally winning one on the road opened the floodgates for the Cs. Did you see how loose, yet poised they played in game 3? I think now that they know they can play like that on the road against a quality opponent, they will. A tough victory, but a victory nonetheless.

...but Detroit still scares me.

Not sure if anyone has noticed this, but I have, and it is a little silly, which I'm wondering why I actually have noticed it. We all know the Daily Dime on ESPN right? Well, I've noticed that the day after every Celtics/Pistons game, they have a WCF update within the Dime, usually like around #5. Now, for the 3rd straight time, after a Lakers/Spurs game, no mention about the Cs/Pistons series. I know it is stupid, but it bothers me to some degree. Oh, and I realize that ESPN sucks.

I predict a C's victory, overcoming the Pissed-Ons and the refs.
I think Detroit is going to come out with their typical overconfidence and arrogance, overlooking the C's, and we'll take it to them similar to game 3. We go back home up 3-1 and end it in 5.
It's still 17 to 11!!!!

End them.


I agree with this post, if the Celtics win tonight, I believe they'll win game 5 in Boston, which will lead to big changes for the pistons as we know them.

This is the farthest KG has ever gotten in the playoffs (2 wins away from the NBA Finals). I believe he will have a monster game tonight, to get the Celtics 1 win away from the ultimate round. I think he realizes the importance of tonights game, and will put the team on his back, he's been the most consistent player (some say the best) on the Celtics, and tonight, he will deliver a MVP performance.

This is more important than anyone having a big game. The refs have handed the other team wins in half our road losses so this is all we can really ask for. Refs, if you're reading, don't **** us over tonight. kthxbye.

Detroit will be desperate...Expect lots of dirty play=Holding,Flopping,Elbowing--you know,like the Pistons always play when in trouble....Our Celtics team really doesn't have a killer instinct---They'll probably be satisfied with the game 3 victory now that they have home court advantage back....We'll lose a close game and I'll be blaming the refs again.

It would be nice to see the Celtics come out strong and destroy these guys,but if things go the way they have been so far--I still think this is going 7 games.....hope I'm wrong.

Also...don't be surprised to see Detroit try to get one of our guys into a fight...you know,pull a Robert Horry and hope for a suspension....Desperate times call for Desperate measures...I hope Doc makes our guys aware of this.
