Celtics Stuff Live! Tonight-Pre game, W/Pat Gilroy @7:30, EDT.

[JB]

After the riotous post game show, following game 6 of the Cavaliers  
series, we've decided to tone things down a bit, with the sedate  
Patrick Gilroy of Celtic Pride as our guest.

Pat does the post game shows on ESPN radio. He will join Justin and my  
self for the first segment of our show and then "The Duke" will bring  
us a live report from “The Garden.”

One of the more interesting aspects of this post season has been the  
tendency of fans and writers alike to single out the occurrences from  
the last game only and ignore the series as a whole.
Yesterday's goat is today's hero and vice versa.

In that light and trying to preserve the seriousness of the occasion,  
we bring you some observations from outside the region by  Ethan and  
Amir of CollegeHumor.com.

    [quote] Amir: The Pistons look they're even boring themselves at  
this point. How can you be a real fan of this team? Flip Saunders even  
turned to one of his assistants in the third quarter and asked "Is  
there anything else on?"

     Ethan: I'm not a fan of the Pistons; they bore me, too. But the  
Celtics aren't exactly a thrill a minute, either. That Cleveland  
series was unwatchable until Game Seven. Even LeBron seemed to know  
it; he compared himself to Dominique Wilkins after the series ended.  
Shouldn't you compare yourself to someone who won a title? There's  
only limited glory in being the Tom Chambers of your generation.[/quote]

  While the Celtics appeared to play game 1 with a steadiness and  
poise not seen so far in these playoffs and Detroit seemed to be a lot  
less frightening than either the Cavaliers or the Hawks, this is a  
seven game series.

The Pistons will be out for blood tonight and of course the Celtics  
have teased us with some dominating games in those other series.

We won't find out if the road woes will continue, but we should see a  
different energy level from the  Pistons and whether the Celtics can  
string two consistent performances. My guess is that this will be a  
very rough game. Detroit does not back down.
