Boston brings its 8 player 9 player (oops) team to Detroit to play tonight's game.  I expect the Celtics to play inspired, gutsy basketball.  I expect Al Jefferson and Gerald Green to bounce back with better games.  And I expect the Pistons will keep the Celtics at arms distance the whole game before throttling it up a notch in the 4th quarter.  And of course, I expect the C's to lose.

These are days for the kids to step up and show their worth.  Since we're in Detroit, here's a couple of quotes for you - first, one from Doc:

“Like I told the guys, all of you who felt you should have been playing more, well, here it is,” said Rivers. “Now’s your chance to prove me wrong.”

Next, one from Eminem:

Look, if you had one shot, one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted-One moment
Would you capture it or just let it slip?

Time to step up kids. 

Bonus link: If you missed it, Ryan Russillo (subbing for Chad Ford) had a solid interview with Wyc Grousbeck the other night.
