Finally the Celtics seem to back into winning form. 3-0 for the week (as predicted by the infallible Jp) and KG is looking good going 17 for 18 in the past two Celtics victories.
The Pistons are a mess!
They are banged up.
Their TV crew is going up in flames.
But more importantly, they on on a winning streak!
Be sure to give us your input for our new weekly won/loss wagers.

Jp is still despondent about the Celtics so he calls them out.
Dave is discouraged, yet hopeful, about the Pistons current slump. If nothing else, he has Ben Gordon’s selflessness to cling to.
Which teams are the best on offense and defense?
Surely there is more to put here, but Jp just found some solace in the bottom of his whiskey bottle and needs to rest now.
Last week was brutal for us all. A somber podcast is in the can, currently being edited by a team of highly trained hobos. (We pass the savings on to you, the listener.)
Be on the lookout!
The Knicks gave the Celtics all they could handle before going down 107-105 in OT.
In the spirit of equal time, here you go. Nothing more to say here.
In our constant desire to give more to you, the NBA fan, we look to experiment with the occasional update in addition to our widely acclaimed podcast. Here, Dave the Pistons Fan gives you a recap of last night’s Celtics loss. Enjoy!
Here go trying to get back on our weekly schedule.
Listen in as Jp sighs nearly constantly and is generally exasperated by poor Celtics play.
Things look promising for the Pistons, while Jp has serious doubts about the heart of the Celtics.
Rough road ahead this week for the Pistons. (At the time of this posting, they have dropped two in a row to start out a very difficult west coast trip) But the Celtics seem to be benefiting from a secret arrangement between Palace/Garden and David Stern.
Here is a comment I left over on RedsArmy after tonight’s debacle.
When does it become far enough into the season where we don’t say, “It’s too early to pass judgement”? 20 games?
I say now.
This is not the same team that destroyed Charlotte. This is not the same team that put an offensive clinic on for Utah. Sure the players names are the same. And the talent is still there. But the effort and commitment clearly is not there.
I don’t pretend to know why our team looks the way they do. I know it isn’t the refs. It isn’t fatigue (better not be anyway after all the talk of off season preparation for this year). And it sure isn’t KG’s knee.
The losses don’t really matter. The way they lose does. Last night it was guys going one on one and giving up the offensive rebound. So then tonight we get beat by team ball. 31 assists on 40 FG?!(that is not the stat of a team which is playing against any even mediocre level of defense)
Maybe the team thinks too much of themselves. Maybe they’ll be humiliated after these two losses. I hope they are. Someone in the organization has to step up and demand each and every player is committed every night. KG? Doc? Captain Pierce? Where is the emerging leader Rondo?
This is a great team. They just are not playing like one these days. Here’s to seeing them kick some ass in the coming days.
The second part of our extended discussion on the season to date.
Sweeping the nation, the highlight reel of one Mr. Bynum!
