.....if they can't win on the road? I will guarantee that can't beat the Pistons.

If you are a Boston fan, I don't think it is necessary to give your response; we already know it. Also, I don't want to hear that crap saying, "Well they have homecourt advantage, so they don't need to win on the road. They will just win all 4 home games." That's a bunch of bs because the Pistons can can beat them at least once on the road. I am very sure of that.

The Celtics were great throughout the regular season, and were easily the best team, best defense, and best team on the road. But there is one major difference now.....IT'S THE PLAYOFFS! The regular season can be pretty much thrown out the door when it comes to how teams will play in the playoffs. The Celtics were dominate in the regular season, but haven't been all to great in the playoffs.

I, for one, am going to guarantee a Pistons victory over the Celtics if they make it to the ECFs this year. That's if they make it because LeBron James and the Cavaliers can possibly win Game 7 still.

	No, they wont win
	Yes, they will win
	They will lose Cavs

	You can't just discard this and call me a homer either. I never guaranteed a win in the 76ers or Magic series, but I am very confident that the Pistons will win this one because of how bad the Celtics have played in the playoffs at home. The Pistons are one of the best road team, not just in the regular season but the playoffs as well.

	how bad the Celtics have played in the playoffs at home. Oops, big typo. Should say, how bad the Celtics have played in the playoffs on the road.

	You're a homer regardless, and that's not supposed to be a good thing. Thanks Hurricane, I appreciate the love.

	Thanks Big B for putting up losing to the Cavs. If Detroit plays the Celtics how they played Orlando they should win. The biggest problem with Detroit is their disinterest in a series or during a game. If Detroit stays interested in the game the whole 48 minutes they are a lethal team. If they decide to watch the other team (last year vs LeBron) they are in trouble. Plus when you look at how bad the Celtics have played on the road and even at home they look offensively challenged. I'm going to give some of that to the Cavs defense but the Detroit defense is just as good. If Detroit plays Boston or Cleveland it is going to be another defensive minded series with bad coaching.

	My answer to the question above is YES Celtics can beat the Pistons as I have noticed that they are playing same exact game they did with Atlanta, even when they were close loosing it like they with this team and I guarantee you that Celtics will win the final 7th game here at Boston Garden. I wouldn't be surprised if they continue to play like they have been with other teams they would play after Pistons taking it to the final 7 games. I also believe Celtics knows what they are doing and making us all sweat as they know they can beat any teams they play as you can see the records. I still miss my old scholl teams 'LARRY my man', PARISH and the others. Finally bought the DVD of the good times with the teams in the 80's and I can't wait to watch it. Again, I know Celtics will win this final game and again they will play another team same way again just to mess with our heads.

	Come on now Big B. Are you really gonna say we cant call you a homer AND say Celtics fans cant post? Anyway,I will give you a Laker opinion. The Boston Celtics can and will defeat the Pistons IF they play them. I am more worried about game 7 than I am about the 6games series before the Championship with LA. The Celtics havent won a road game yet, BIG DEAL. WHO HAS? Your Pistons were 0-2 against Orlando on the road untill the refs decided to give them one. It will be a great series. It will go to Detroit 1-1. Then come back to Boston 2-2. Boston wins game 5, and Peirce scores LATe to win game 6. M-V-P....M-V-P....M-V-P
