Daily Dime: Boston looking better - NBA
BOSTON -- Let's just come right out and say it: The better team won. Yes, it's time to go ahead and make that statement. The Boston Celtics are better than the Detroit Pistons . They proved it Wednesday night in ways big and small, looking fresher, hungrier, deeper and more efficient than the team they've been measuring themselves against throughout their season of rebirth. "We know this ...

Daily Dime: 'The Better Team Won'
CelticsBlogChris Sheridan points out the contrast of the two teams from last night: Wallace's composure was near the breaking point as he practically dared the officials to give him a technical foul after the outcome had been decided, and Chauncey Billups' composure was lacking, too, when he picked up a fourth-quarter technical foul (coaches always tell players that if they're going to get a tech for complaining, don't do it in the fourth quarter) for arguing a chippy reach-in call. The composure on the other side was an entirely different story, and it wasn't just coming from the ...

Boston Isn’t (Necessarily) Better, but Detroit Pistons Must Lose “Sense of Entitlement”
Empty the Bench — Wednesday night’s loss to the Boston Celtics seems to be resonating with some as an indictment of the Detroit Pistons and their quest to seal their legacy by winning a second NBA title in five years. ESPN’s Chris Sheridan — who’s harbored an obvious bias against the Pistons ever since last year’s incident with Rasheed Wallace — used this opportunity to declare that Boston is definitively the better team , no questions asked. Boston Celtics blogs were, understandably, abuzz after their team secured the regular-season series, two games to one, over ...
