Game Notes
The Celtics host the Pistons for the 2nd of 4 games this season.  In the first meeting, the Pistons came away with an 87-77 win over the Celtics. 

Both teams boast a 12-14 record and both teams are 6-4 in their last 10 games.  The Celtics are 7-6 at home while the Pistons are 6-6 on the road. 

The Celtics have won their last 2 games while the Pistons are looking for their second straight victory.  The Pistons are feeling pretty good about themselves after handing the Pacers their first loss at home. 

The Celtics are coming off a win over the Timberwolves, avenging an earlier loss to them.  In this game, the Celtics will once again be looking to avenge an earlier loss. 

The Pistons are the 5th seed in the East and the Celtics are the 4th seed and if the playoffs began today, these two teams would face off in the first round. 

Key Matchups
(http://i.cdn.turner.com/nba/nba/.element/img/2.0/sect/statscube/players/large/jared_sullinger.png) vs (http://i.cdn.turner.com/nba/nba/.element/img/2.0/sect/statscube/players/large/andre_drummond.png)
Jared Sullinger vs Andre Drummond
Once again, the Celtics front line is facing a big front line on the other side.  Drummond is averaging 13.3 points and 12.6 rebounds while Sully is averaging 14 points and 7.1 rebounds.  Sully gives up a couple of inches to Drummond and so will need to muscle Drummond and keep him away from the basket. 

(http://i.cdn.turner.com/nba/nba/.element/img/2.0/sect/statscube/players/large/jeff_green.png) vs (http://i.cdn.turner.com/nba/nba/.element/img/2.0/sect/statscube/players/large/josh_smith.png)
Jeff Green vs Josh Smith
Josh Smith is averaging 15.5 points and 6.6 rebounds while Jeff Green is averaging 16.5 points and 4.5 rebounds.  This should be a good matchup between two athletic players who can hit from outside as well as get inside for strong finishes. 

Honorable Mention

Jordan Crawford vs Brandon Jennings
Jennings leads the Pistons in scoring with 17 points per game and assists with 7.8.  The Celtics are going to need to slow him down in order to have a chance to win this game.  Also, Crawford needs to be aggressive on the offensive end so that Jennings will have to work defensively. 

Keys to the Game
Run, Run, Run - The Celtics have proved that when they run and move the ball up the court quickly, good things happen. They can't lapse into walking the ball up, playing half court and depending on iso's for scoring.  When they over dribble and slow the game down, they struggle offensively and all the way around. 

Be Aggressive - The Celtics need to be aggressive in going for loose balls, rebounding and defending.  They also have to be aggressive in going to the basket and not settle for jumpers. Good things happen when they get inside.   They have to be hungry and play like the team that wants it more.

Start Strong and Play 48 Minutes
- The Celtics have been getting off to a strong start in their recent wins.  They need to start strong in this one but also play 48 minutes. They have been letting teams back into the game and they can't let up until the final buzzer starts. 

Rebound - Rebounding takes effort and desire.  The Celtics will need both in order to beat the big front line of the Pistons to the rebounds.  The guards especially need to crash the boards.   

X-Factors
Home Game and Focus
Once again, the Celtics are at home and should get a boost from the home crowd.  The Celtics must come out focused and execute their game plan.  They can't let bad calls or rough play by the Pistons deter them.

Bold Predictions: Danny Ainge closes a trade deal for Omer Asik so fast that the guy  is actually dressed to play this game. Avery Bradley makes at least one Pistons guard cry, and Gerald Wallace out scores Josh Smith.

We would love for you to join us in the CelticBlog Chat Room after the game for the CLNSRadio Post Game Podcast.

Tonight's on air hosts will be Matt Rury and Brian Langford, with Calvin Chamberlain joining us as CLNS chat host.

Jared Weiss, of the CB/CLNS "The Garden Report" will be calling in with some thoughts on the game.  (I don't know how he fits it all in, calling in the Post Game show while  putting together the post game video, "Garden Report".)  Anyway, he is knowledgable and interesting, so join us and also take a look at "The Garden Report" which should be up on the Blog, as well as on the CLNSRadio.com  YouTube station  tomorrow morning.  If you haven't already, subscribe to it.  Jared is regularly joined by CelticsBlog's Jimmy Toscano and Evans Clinchy  as co-hosts on "The Garden Report."   They also sometimes have guest hosts from other Celtics blogs.  If you haven't seen it yet, give it a try.

Would Bass be playing if he is part of Asik trade?
usually in those cases if a player is on the verge of being traded he will not pay to prevent injury.

  I'm a little more of a Josh Smith fan than this will sound like, but he'd be just as happy winning by 10 as losing by 10 if they give him this big of a role in the offense every game.

Even though there are only a handful of legit centers in the league, you eventually have to have someone who can guard them if you ever want to contend. Lopez abused this team the other night. He won't if the Celtics get Asik.

Mike: "It's been almost sixteen years since the Celtics traded chauncey billups for... huh... *lists garbage players*"

I laughed.

Kenny Anderson was not that bad.

It wasn't even the list, really ('cause you're right, he wasn't total trash), just the five or six seconds of sad, contemplative silence that followed.

Heh... Anderson was a 27 year old PG who had played in the all-star game a couple years prior.  Kinda like Rondo, except Rondo is coming off a major injury and has yet to play.

Man bradley has been balling. 

Don't get use to these 42 point quarters... once we swap out Crawford and Bass with Rondo and Asik, we'll be playing 3 vs 5 on offense.

It's weird, but I kind of agree...  ;D

But Rondo is better, don't forget it.

I don't wanna go back to doc rivers ball letting rondo pound the ball and we barely score 80 points. no thanks.

I really wished they change that continuation rule. I don't mind it when a guy is in the air taking a shot but I hate it when they foul a guy on the ground and he takes 1-2 more steps after being fouled, then shoots and gets the continuation.

Too many stoppages for FTs + advantages for offensive player.

lol no, i've never been a fan of bass. he's physically limited, average bball iq, not worthy as a starter for a contender. call me crazy but i'd rather keep hump than him.

Sully missed FT was huge. Also Bass play was terrible. I hate losing leads like this.

no excuse for missed FT's especially in crunch time. that has always been a pet peeve of mine. 15 feet away? with nobody in your face? everybody should shoot these until they can make them with their eyes closed. no excuses.

The Celtics lost this game because they were unable to stop their opponents from scoring in the post and they didn't have anyone to create shots when they were struggling offensively.

Hopefully by the end of the month Asik and Rondo will have taken steps to correct this problem.

They were 20-22 in the game which is 91% even though that was a big one to miss can't be mad at those numbers

I probably like Brandon Jennings more than most people on this board, so it was nice to see him come away with a great game, even with his typical pickup-style shot selection.

We played well, I think this game ended up being one of those annoying what-ifs where a couple friendly bounces or a couple unfriendly bounces determined the outcome--Missed FT's on both sides, etc.

I really hope Bass's iso  was a broken play, and not something that was planned.

easy man it's called human error. no one shoots 100% so yea lets not focus on one free throw (1 single point). that free throw didn't lose us the game. we were out matched down low and jennings hit big shots. the celtics could, should of won but detroit deserves props. they came back after the first and took control of the game. poor execution in the last 10 seconds is what did the celtics in if we're going to blame a specific possession. sully missed 1 free throw big deal. think of all the put backs, boards and that nice .1 second tip in he had. look at the big picture goin on

There are a couple players I am not happy with. Bass has always been tentative when shooting but tonight might have been his biggest blunder.  I can't count the number of shots this guy has passed up when he had the opportunity.

Vitor and KO have been playing kind of weak, especially olynyk who doesn't seem to be able to get a grip on the ball in close. he constantly is losing the ball and his awkwardness has cost us too many trips by opposing teams to the free throw line.
But lately the guy that is not pulling his weight is Jordan Crawford.  last week he's player of the week, this week he can't hit nothing and is losing the ball too often bhe doesn't have his head in the game. I really hope the props he got are not going to his head. tonight he was 5/22.  way too many shots when you are not hitting. Stevens needs to reel this kid in real quick before he turns into another Nate Robinson!!!

this was a tough one to lose!!!

Asik isn't be all and end all, if the trade should happen.

Asik can easily be flipped with his expiring contract and unique skill set.

With a third team, Greg Monroe could potentially be got for Asik + something.

WOW, There are two different schools on Asik and they are so far apart I'm having a hard time figuring out if this guy is a scrub or a bona fide starter.
I have a feeling that some of you just don't like this guy and others just want a true 7.0 center on this team.
I am starting to believe this trading and picking in the draft is one big crap shoot!!!

I still don't understand the josh smith signing by Detroit. Why would you get 3 all star caliber big men ???? Smith is not a small forward. I think Monroe is a far superior big so I'm even more confused he is the one being traded, unless he told the pistons he's not happy there. They should trade smith if anyone. Maybe they wanted smith to play the 4 for a small ball lineup. Another team designed to beat the heat. Hope they match up in the playoffs

Star power. And concerns that they won't be able to resign Monroe this season.
