Key Matchups 
(http://a.espncdn.com/combiner/i?img=/i/headshots/nba/players/full/3026.png&w=250&h=184)  vs  (http://a.espncdn.com/combiner/i?img=/i/headshots/nba/players/full/6448.png&w=250&h=184)
Rajon Rondo vs Brandon Knight
Rajon Rondo has been playing MVP level basketball. He seems to keep getting better and better.  Knight has been playing well also, averaging 11.3 points, 4.3 rebounds and 7.1 assists.    This should be a good matchup. 

(http://a.espncdn.com/combiner/i?img=/i/headshots/nba/players/full/662.png&w=250&h=184)  vs  (http://a.espncdn.com/combiner/i?img=/i/headshots/nba/players/full/1724.png&w=250&h=184)
Paul Pierce vs Tayshaun Prince
This has been a great matchup over the years,  Prince's length can give Pierce problems but Pierce's strength can also give Prince problems. 

Honorable Mention

Jason Terry vs Kyle Singler
Singler is a 6'8" rookie shooting guard.  Needless to say, he's got 6 inches on JET and should be able to get his shot off over Jason easily.  He has been shooting 46% from beyond the arc and so will be a tough matchup.  Don't be surprised to see Paul Pierce, Jeff Green or Courtney Lee guarding him if he gives JET problems.   

Game Notes
The Celtics face former Celtics assistant Lawrence Frank and his Pistons for the first of 3 meetings this season.  The Pistons won the series 2-1 last season.  They have struggled this season and would love to get a win over the Celtics to boost their confidence. 

The Celtics are 3-2 on the road while the Pistons are 0-3 at home.  They have won just one game against 9 losses, getting a win over the Sixers on the road.  The Celtics are playing in the second of back to back games while the had Saturday off. 

The Pistons have struggled on offense, scoring just 93 points per game. while the Celtics are averaging 97 ppg.   The Pistons aren't much better on the boards than the Celtics, with the Pistons coming 28th with 38.8 rebounds per game and the Celtics coming in last with 37.6 rebounds per game. 

Even though the Celtics played on Sunday, it was an afternoon game and so not quite as bad as if it was a night game.   Also, since the Celtics were able to get a big lead, only Rondo played more than 30 minutes (32) and KG played only 17.  It should be an easy game for the Celtics if they come in focused and ready to take care of business.

Keys to the Game
Defense - It all begins with defense.  The Celtics have been winning with defense.  When they play lock down defense they are very hard to beat.    When they get lax on defense, they struggle all the way around. 

Rebound - The Celtics need to be aggressive on the boards.  Rebounding is effort and if the Celtics are putting the effort out to grab rebounds then that effort will translate to the other areas of their game.  They finally out-rebounded a team in their last game and hopefully that effort continues in this game. 


Focus and Aggressiveness
- It could be easy for the Celtics to let down their guard in this one.  The Pistons are just 1-8 and the Celtics are playing in the second of back to back games.  But they need to keep their focus and be aggressive.  They have to be aggressive in going to the basket and not settle for jumpers.  They have to be aggressive on defense and going for loose balls.  They have lost easy games in the past because they play down to their opponents.  They need to avoid that here. 

X-Factors
Back to Back
The Celtics are playing in the second of back to back games on the road.  Hopefully they have the focus and energy to get the win.

Drummond isn't on their roster though.

I hope they do really well and minimize PP and KG's minutes just like last game.

I tell ya , I'm loving Barbosa 's attitude and aggressive play. 

He is NOT afraid of contact, almost every time he drives into the paint something good happens for the team.

I'm all for Barbosa running the team when Rondo is sitting.

He never stands around , he is always stirring the pot on offense. ( like Bradley)

I like what Barbosa brings to this team.. when he can stay under control ...the Celtics are much better team than when Terry or Lee are playing point.

I look for Sully to turn up his game little by little , as he becomes more comfortable playing Doc's defense and adding in his own game. He is a team first player and the guys like him.

Drummond played Fri. nite with 10pts,3rebs, and 2 blks in only 15 of PT.

On another note; Pistons are a big team with only 2 guys under 6'5" and seven players 6'10" or more.  If Darko can't get into this game, Doc needs to be put on the line and asked what's up his butt about the guy!

The only way he puts Darko in the game is if Wilcox struggles badly or he decideds play KG at PF.

I wouldn't take this one for granted.
they beat a good Sixers team, and lost to OKC by 2 points.
We need a big body on Monroe, i think he is to big for KG.

Monroe always kills us, and recently the Pistons just seem to give us a hard time. I believe this is definitely a possible trap game.

I too was looking forward to Darko matching up with Greg Monroe even just for a few minutes. Greg seems too big and hefty for KG and Wilcox. Unfortunately, rotoworld lists Darko as unavailable due to personal reasons for this game.

Monroe is far to quick for Darko, he'd get burned on the other end far more than Dark would punish him on the offensive glass or offensively.

I thought Green had 2 opportunities to go to the hoop aggressively on that possession.  He is reluctant -- I think partly because he's lost the ball a few times on drives.  He's got to assert himself.

Maybe, maybe not but I'd enjoy watching it a lot more.

I don't think either player is good, but yea. I'd rather watch Gerald try to dunk from the half court line than watch Jeff be Jeff. Way more enjoyable.

I thought they brought Terry here to have another ballhandler who can play picks.  He never has the freaking ball.

Our PGs are not moving the ball, and when the ball is finding Pierce, he's not moving the ball much either. It's been a big problem early in the season. We can be amazed at the assist feast Rondo is doing, but I'd rather he started moving the ball a bit more earlier in the shot clock. Terry, Green, and Lee have been largely affected by this. Our bigs are getting touches though.

That's a good quality half against a horrendous basketball team, and what I expected after the day I had. My son's lacrosse team went 0-3-1 in a tournament, UMass basketball lost by 14 to Tennessee, and UMass hockey is losing 7-1 to UMass Lowell.  Thank God the Bruins are on strike and The Patriots blew out Indy.

Not bad for the 4th game in 5 night, with it also being a road game. I get the feeling that we are saving some energy for the 2nd half to put these guys away. I really like the confidence Rondo is showing with his outside shooting, particularly from the 3 pt line. Sullinger is having a rough night so far.

Finally, Tommy said something. You can't have Rondo dribble the ball for 15 seconds nearly every possession because everyone just stands around.  Who designs an offense like this?  I'm sick of Doc as a coach.  It's been three and half long years of this offense and he does nothing to change.  Wouldn't just being bored out of his mind watching his team compel him to change things up?

I'm so glad KG got a ton of rest yesterday so he can be energized to play against the Pistons.  Oh what?  Doc pulls him after 4 1/2 minutes into a quarter because he is somehow the most fragile athlete in the NBA?  Yep, Doc's doing his ol' brilliant coaching thing.

Nobody tries a substitution pattern like Doc.  Unless Doc is the smartest guy in the NBA, just stop messing around and just play KG regular minutes.

They would get blown out by the 1-9 Pistons.
They need to stop the jumpshooting and REBOUND.
Also Rondo needs to just hang the streak up and move on.

terrible coaching. sorry. I like DOC but you have 4 guys who can drive and get easy high% baskets. why are we not doing it? If we do not have anybody who can post up then get on the phone and start lining up a trade NOW. enough is enough. Our jump shooting is terrible and yet we keep doing it forcing low % shots.
I don't understand that at all.
If you know your jump shot isn't falling then why not...oh I don't know... drive. I bet if they did that it would help alot more and stop forcing up shots.

Might as well just let the bench play the 4th quarter. Rondo doesn't deserve to pursue his streak. He's been too sloppy as a leader of the offense. He's been forcing bad passes, when he should be in attack mode as a scorer.

I cannot even say that with a straight face. Who cares about this streak? I would like to see them win, not chase meaningless records. There is no excuse for this loss. I don't care how tired they might be - the Pistons SUCK. Losing in a blowout to this team is just ridiculous.

The 1 thing that really bugs me about Green is that he plays the game in slow motion. I want to see hard quick cuts to the basket. His best attribute is that he is long for a 3, and fast as a 3 or 4. But... he doesn't use that speed very often.

I really hope he gets it and locks in. Otherwise, this is going to be painful.

Well, I didn't expect this result, to be honest.
But I'm not going to read too much into this, really. We lacked effort and just totaled 12 assists (2 by the players not named Rondo, none by any other starter). Clearly, things weren't working out.
But there is no need to hit the panic button with a loss against the Pistons, as it's crystal clear that the result isn't something normal and the overall basketball played wasn't what you normally get out of this Celtics core.

what seems obvious is we have too many average jump shooters who are NOT getting it done right now. how about trading some for a post up big? who can score? and rebound? guess it does not matter if doc keeps telling them to take the jump shot instead of driving or posting up for a high % shot. SMH

But there is no need to hit the panic button with a loss against the Pistons, as it's crystal clear that the result isn't something normal and the overall basketball played wasn't what you normally get out of this Celtics core.

what seems obvious is we have too many average jump shooters who are NOT getting it done right now. how about trading some for a post up big? who can score? and rebound? guess it does not matter if doc keeps telling them to take the jump shot instead of driving or posting up for a high % shot. SMH
how many of those are in da league let alone da tradin block tho? lls

we can rebound now when we put our minds to it on the defensive side. KG does not post up enough. Some help is better than none right?

I honestly lost interest in the game when the Seattle Sounders cranked up toward the end of the third quarter. I just knew this was not the Celtics night and they have a lot of trouble matching up to the agressive style of Detriot. The Pistons wanted this game a lot more than we did and it showed up big time in the 3rd qtr. Hopefully Sullenger left the building with much more confidence in his game and that would be the only positive.

There will be lots of excuses made tonight in the quotes on the front page game story thread, but there is nothing that justifies this crap. Trades need to be made. The style needs to be changed.

Glad you're not a GM.

One game.

Step away from the edge.

This.

Funny, I couldn't find vinnie when the "9 million dollar man" played great the last 2 games and yet here he is again when everything seems to go downhill for one game.

I'll give him props though, he was right about changing styles, screw the small ball. But he's the biggest complainer in this forum, by far.

The $9 million man has played two good games out of 11 and I praised him after both. He stinks.

He was getting it together until this game, where everyone seemed to stunk up. Can it be that the reason he stinks tonight was because of that?

And you just said it. 11 games. 11 games of roster experiments and people still don't know their roles yet. You're calling this way to early.

11 turns to 22 then 44..where does it end?

On a few occasions with KG & co. it ends in the playoffs when they turn it up several notches.

Almost:

It ends in the finals, where we snatch the trophy from any would-be's.
