Sure the Pistons have seemed to right the ship since the A.I. trade, but why am I still not scared of them. When Detroit comes into town, you know that their is going to be a lot of intensity, a lot of hate, and a lot of physical play. The last time these two teams squared off the Celtics locked down Iverson, Rip Hamilton, and Rasheed Wallace. If they want to win this game they need to do the same thing. The Iverson trade was questioned up until the past few days, after beating the Cavaliers the Pistons now have momentum and revenge on their mind.
The Pistons line up is A.I., Rip Hamilton, Tayshaun Prince, Kwame Brown and Rasheed Wallace. If you look at this lineup one thing should be glaring and jumping at you; Kwame Brown. The Celtics need to take advantage of him down low, and if that is the case, it'll be a long game for the Pistons. Another big advantage the Celtics have is the size of our guards compared to the size of the Pistons guards. A lot of the time Iverson, and Hamilton will have the task of guarding Ray Allen and Paul Pierce, ouch.
I expect big games from Pierce and Allen in this victory.
Celtics: 98-81
Tommy Award: Paul Pierce
