28-3 (1st, 1st in Atlantic) @ 26-7 (2nd, 1st in Central) 7:00 PM EST CSN When the 28-3 Celtics meet the 26-7 Pistons, the teams will take the floor with a combined winning percentage of .844. There have been only two regular season games since the NBA adopted the shot clock for the 1954-55 season where the two teams, who have played at least a minimum of 30 games, have had better combined winning percentages than the Celtics and the Pistons will Saturday before tipoff: Jan. 9, 1972: Los Angeles Lakers (39-3) at Milwaukee Bucks (35-8) Combined winning percentage: .871 Dec. 28, 1966: Boston Celtics (25-7) at Philadelphia 76ers (33-3) Combined winning percentage: .853 Two. In the entire shot-clock era, dating all the way back to 1954. As noted earlier, those Lakers, who had their record 33-game win streak snapped that night by the Bucks, and those Sixers went on to win titles. This is exclusive company, company the Celtics and the Pistons wouldn't mind keeping. The NBA hasn't seen a regular season matchup of teams this accomplished in a decade, when the 34-4 Chicago Bulls -- who would (notice a theme?) go on to win the title -- met the 30-9 Rockets on Jan. 19, 1997.

Let Tony Allen defend Billups (the best matchup) Let Pierce run the offense..he's done it for years EDIT: Big Baby (2nd round pick) scored 15 points on Rasheed

You guys can check out my short (tired, sick) game recap by by clicking this link. What a great night.
So, we're 29-3 now. One loss on a missed last play shot by Pierce in Orlando, one in OT at the Cavs, and one in the first Piston game on Billups's FTs at the end. All of which were avenged in the next meeting with each team. Really quite amazing.

The one game we really should not have won was against the Bobcats. That was just hilarious!
