We're talkin' about The Ghosts Of Pistons Past

This is a match-up that turns people against each other, if just for one day or night. For me, it's been this entire month. Tomorrow things will get ugly. Things will get loud. There will be lots of jumping and screaming and cursing at 241 Warren.

Especially from this girl.

I haven't forgave the Celtics since they beat my Pistons in the Eastern Conference Finals last year:
They won game 1, we won game 2, they won game 3, we won game 4, they won game 5 and 6, and then I went against everything I believe in and rooted for the team I hate the most on this earth ... The fucking LAKERS. That shows you how pissed I was.

I really haven't forgiven the Celtics since ... or myself for rooting for the Lakers, but hey - I did what I had to do. They rubbed it in my face even more as they went on to win a ring.

And when it was all over, I said "Hey, I can go back to liking the Celtics again because it's over and we can't go back in time."

But then the 2008-2009 season came, and I went over the Pistons schedule and those feelings came back.
The last 2 times we've played each other since, we've lost. But the Big 3 isn't what did us in, it was their bench. We have a good bench, especially now with Rip. But I read today that Rip might not be playing Friday.

Thus proving that GOD HATES ME.

But as always, I have tremendous hope for my Pistons, and I'm not giving up.

After the Celtics, we will go on to face the Cleveland Crabaliers and then the Miami Heat. These ate the 3 teams responsible for killing our championship hopes in the last 3 seasons.

All 3 of these games are at the Palace.
We must defend our home court, Pistons. ME MUST.

It's on.
