Well, it seems that the Detroit Pistons are going to avoid a sweep
after all. On Thursday (5/2/85) night, they took advantage of 20
Celtic turnovers plus Tyler's 16 point 4th quarter to defeat the
Boston green in Joe Louis Arena.
Don't look for similar results on Sunday afternoon, or so says
Robert Parish, the Celts center. I gotta agree.
Celts take this series 4-1 and meet Philly, who are on quite
a roll. Speaking of rolls, how about the LA Lakers.
Victorious, but untested in my book.
We'll see.
Go Boston.

Detroit played an excellent game Sunday taking it right to the Celtics who looked a little exhausted in the 4th quarter (but thats no excuse!). Not even the luck of the Birdman was able to help the Celtics pull it out. He had a free 18ft. jumper with about 10 sec. left and missed it. Oh well, can't make them all the time. Seems like the Celtics just don't have it lately. They had a tough time with the Cavs and are being pushed to the limit by the Pistons and with the Sixers rested and hungry waiting down the road it could be a long summer for the boys in green. Celtics will take Detroit in 7 but get blown out by the Sixers 4-1. So let it be written; so let it be done. Joseph M. Dakes AT&T Bell Laboratories Reading, PA rduxb!jmd P.S. I can't wait to see Andrew Toney burn Danny "Cry Baby" Ainge for about 30 points a game.

The Pistons evened their playoff series with the Celtics on Sunday (5/5/85) by virtue of an incredible fourth quarter performance by third guard Vinnie Johnson, scoring 22 of Detroit's last 26 points, while Boston could manage only 12 points (three field goals) in the last 12 minutes. Four Piston non-starters scored a total of 58 (of 102) points playing 80 minutes, while four Celtic non-starters scored 13 (of 99) points playing a total of 32 minutes. Could the thin bench of Boston be catching up with them? Go Motown! -- Doug Dickerson UUCP !sdcsvax!noscvax!douglas MILNET douglas@nosc

Well, it's hard to believe that the Detroit Pistons have won
two in a row from the Celtics. The Celtics had them buried,
but let them up again.
Now I'm a bit nervous. It may go seven, much to everyone's
chagrin in and around Boston.
Even if it doesn't go 7, Boston's next opponent is the
very-well-rested Philadelphia 76ers. Gonna be tough.
Meanwhile, the LA Lakers proved they are human by losing to
Portland the other night. Just a fluke though; it's gonna
be a 4-1 series.
Go Boston!

Or does Boston open next season against the Phillies. Let's face it, the Celtics are a bunch of cry-baby weenies, and if Detroit doesn't destroy them, Philly will. Scott R.
