Kendrick Perkins with his league leading 7th technical right before the half? I am surprised the Celtics lead the league in technical fouls this season and more shocked that Perkins leads the team. Are the Celtics getting a little too boistrous after their championship?
Winning a title might earn the right to talk a little, but they better be careful not to take it too far. As for this game against the Pistons, they have earned the right to talk a little. The Pistons are having a hard time getting shots in the paint. They are shooting a bunch of jumpers and the Celtics keep grabbing the rebounds. One and done is not a recipe for success.
I would expect this game to continue just the way it is going. The Pistons might have Allen Iverson, but they sure don't have an answer for the Celtics defense. Iverson is doing exactly what he always does: he dribbles around looking for holes. That strategy might work against bad teams, but not against a good team defense like the Celtics have.
The second half spread has the Celtics favored by one point. If I were a bettin' man, I would stay with them. The Pistons will have to get hot from the outside if they want any chance at making this a game.
