I have a particular interest game because not only is it a big Eastern Conference matchup, but I have tickets to this game.  I'm from Virginia and I'm flying in to catch it.

With that said, I wonder if we can pull out a win against this team?  I know that the newspapers and sports reporters have said that the Celtics expect KG to miss the games against both Cleveland and Orlando!!!! What a heck of a time to get injured, huh?

But with Paul Pierce and Ray Allen (who really just had an off day against the Pistons) and Rondo playing in full...can we expect to beat them.

I will be wearing my lucky Larry Bird jersey to the game as well hahaha, but for some reason, that is not giving me enough confidence.  I keep telling myself that with all of the guys playing tough and making the big shots (Ray I'm talking to you) then we should be fine.  I mean heck, Houston managed to beat them without Tracy McGrady and the Chicago Bulls managed to beat them at home too.

I wouldn't read too much into the Spurs game because Tony Parker had a particularly bad game. Also, the Spurs really depend a lot on Duncan and Parker, but we depend on everybody and not just one or two players.  KG doesn't even score that much for us anyway.  Ray is our leading scorer and Pierce can bring it too.

Anyway, I'm just wanting some opinions from people.  I really hope we do win but I've had my doubts.

Thanks.

P.S. What the heck is it with the Pistons to get to the free-throw line 40 freaking times!!!!!!
