2-2

Well, so much for Celtics in 5. Let's hope Weedie is wrong about everything else.

A good win by the Pistons. If for no other reason, I'm glad they won so I will seem a little less petty when writing this:

Q. What worries a Piston fan more than Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett?
A. Danny Crawford reffing a playoff game.

Those free throws almost killed me but it's all good now.

A few notes before heading to bed:

• I'll remember that Max block on KG on the break for a very long time.
• Man, Dyess just keeps doin' it and he was the best player on the floor tonight. Last year, he took the loss to Cleveland so hard, it's just great to see him giving everything to get that ring.
• Tay, we need more from you, let's go.
• Chauncey--interesting game. You shot it like hell but made maybe the biggest shot of the night, the 3 to push it to 10 late. A decent floor game and more aggressive. Keep getting better.
• Sheed--much better, keep on comin'.
  
• Rip exposed Ray Allen late, a good sign as the series gets long.
  

Celtics had a weird game shooting so poorly, I suspect they'll be much better in Game 5. I think this is going seven.

And for those who are interested, it was another very impressive performance in downtown Detroit again tonight. I watched the Wings game first. More lock-down defense and a few great plays for goals. Pens got chippy at the end, a sign of a loser team. De-Troit Hockey-town.
