The celtics lack of physicality from their front court is just as big of an issue as Detroit’s lack of 3pt shooting. Duren, Stewart and Reed will bully Vuc

The Celtics are a THREAT TO THEMSELVES! You can tell the story of the Celtics in the Mazzulla-era by the 3pt %. They took themselves out of the series withlast year vs. Knicks by deciding to jack up a total of 112 three-point shots in Games 1 & 2 (60 & 52, respectively). That means you would have to hit over 22+ and keep your defense in check.

Not the truth Stephen A. The Piston dont think that hard about the Knicks. That’s you adding the extra to it. The Pistons are thinking “next team up”

People forget Miles Bridges almost made the East All Star team before his controversy.. He was in consideration as an All Star a few years ago..

First of all, the question should be who is the biggest threat to the PISTONS In the east, and it should’ve been JAYLEN .BROWN’S photo on the thumbnail, not Jayson Tatum…….

Eastern Conference teams are built around jump shooting. Pistons are the best perimeter defenders in the League and no one can answer Duren.

Everyone is so high on the Celtics like Tatum isn’t shooting 41% since he returned and they don’t have a history of their offense stagnating in the playoffs.
