Great game!
My first impulse was to write a gloating post about last night's Pistons/Celtics game. In the light of the morning, though, I realize that the best story is how good and intense that game was. My friend Andy turned to me after Chauncey sank the two free throws and said, "I'd watch six more games of that." Agreed. The Celtics are very good and could be great and the Pistons aren't quite done yet. Almost felt like old times--I felt the bile rise up once more for the leprechauns. On to the next!

Flash - I was expecting exactly the gloating post you didn't write, and I was kicking myself that I haven't written my own self-justifying "here's why i don't feel bad switching the type of laundry I root for" post ahead of time.
Agreed that that was the kind of game I'd like to see more of. I know LeBron, and maybe even Dwight, are going to have something to say about it, but Pistons/Celtics is the Eastern Conference Finals all of (especially Kevin McHale) deserve.

Agreed -- great to see The Butler serving it up!
I was watching the score all night on the LCD boards in the Target Center, and saw highlights when I got home. I was reminded of the time that Chauncey and the Pistons came to town 4 or 5 years ago and he got an offensive foul called on him on the last play of the game, and lose to KG and the Wolves. But this time he no doubt deserved the call.
So fun to watch all those former Wolves players and Flip do so well elsewhere, while the local squad plays 3 good quarters on cue, and sucked ass so bad one quarter that it cost them the game. Wolves in yesterday's 3rd? 17-37.
Hopefully we will see more good Celtics games when their schedule gets a little tougher...

I loved the game-outcome aside. Great comp. For the Celtics to be great, they must be tested. . . not pass every test. That is what Game 7's are for, and this being December, we are far away from the games that count.
Plus, the Pistons have found their post Wallace groove with McDyess stepping up and the outstanding energy play of Maxiell and a strong bench.
Sheed-KG, Pierce-Prince, Ray-Hamilton. man oh man. Chauncey versus the rook. Bench vs. bench.
7 game series stuff.
Let's hope.
p.s. how about Ray Ray's dunk?
