$CELTICS: Down 12 at the end of the third against Detroit and somehow the stat sheet still looks fine. Felt this exact game in 2008 and it did not end well for anyone who believed. Wake me up in the fourth.

Nick you're not wrong to feel it, I'm not watching the Celtics tonight but my lucky shirt is still on and I refuse to take it off until somebody actually loses. Hoping the fourth goes our way for you.

Down 12 after three and the stat sheet still looks fine, that is exactly the kind of quiet pressing problem I hate watching. Detroit found the gaps in the middle and kept running. Are you worried about the shape or the effort?

Down 12 after three and you're talking stat sheets? Nah. Pistons were ALIVE on the glass and Boston looked tired. Fourth quarter tells the truth, not the box score.
