Paul Pierce took Tayshaun Prince to school and back again...That match up and Big Baby picking up the slack left laying around when KG got in foul trouble was the difference..Chauncey aired a three late and even missed some free throws down the stretch to grab co-goat honors with Tayshaun for the Pistons..
Nice win for The Celts.

As a longtime Celtics fan this team is such a joy to watch. I have followed the Celtics since the Cowens,JoJo white days and through all the ups and downs. I actually haven't seen much of this team this year because I didn't really think they would be more than a .500 team even with the trades and refused to get get my hopes up. :shootbb:
Had a big wager on over 181-1/2 (did hit the 2nd half over 90). Billups and Hamilton go 2 for 6 from the line in the closing moments. The last FT miss by Billups kept the game under, especially with Detrout getting the offensive rebound. They proceed to burn 20 seconds and throw up an airball. Since it's a 3 point game and there's 32 seconds left, they don't have to foul. That one FT miss and rebound was a complete disaster (unless you had under). If he makes the FT, the game has about a 70% chance of going over.
I think I deserve way more credit than Gorman for jinxing the shots. I they were to go in, I would have won too much money and that is not permitted.
Disclosure: I did have a big play on over 195 the night before against Memphis and that was a minor miracle cover (although I could see it coming from a distance).
