Recap: We can only hope and pray that was rock bottom

PLAYERS: Rajon Rondo,  Paul Pierce,  Kevin Garnett,  Brandon Bass
TEAMS: Detroit Pistons,  Boston Celtics

If you missed tonight's 96-81 loss to the Detroit Pistons, consider yourself lucky. This was an absolute embarrassment. The Pistons dominated this game while shooting 38%. How is that possible? The Cs served up 22 turnovers and allowed 42 points in the paint. Detroit had a 46 to 15 advantage in free throws. It seems ridiculous and unjust, but I didn't think the officiating was that bad. Rajon Rondo quit on his team was ejected for ******** about a non-call and whipping the ball at the official in the 3rd quarter. He could receive a 1 game suspension for his actions. Paul Pierce (18 points, 6-11 FG) continues to play uninspired basketball. Kevin Garnett missed this game because of "personal reasons." Should we cut this team any slack for playing without Garnett and Brandon Bass? Box score

I had a feeling this face punch compilation from Road House would fit the game recap. The Mavericks beat up the Celtics tonight, 89-73. The script was the same... there's no need to rehash the lack of rebounding and second chance points. Not having anyone who could guard Dirk Nowitzki (26 points, 16 rebounds) certainly didn't help. The Celtics lost two more bigs: Jermaine...
