Los Boston Celtics are a perfect machine. The ‘Proud Greens’ live in a constant: no one matches them and victories fall by its own weight. More than triumphs, they are beatings. Each one toughens his rivals. Against the Detroit Pistons (102-129) they had another feast that leaves them on a new great streak: eight wins in a row, 19-2 in the last 21 and at 56-14 they are, clearly, the best team in the League. Direction to the ring.

The Pistons, with a 12-58 record, cannot serve as a gauge of anything. Although they competed well at the Little Caesars Arena against the Celtics who did not have Tatum. The first quarter was more than tight (34-35) and it wasn’t until halfway through the second when Boston accelerated. Jaylen Brown replaced Tatum in the role of enforcer and linked three big plays in a rowHauser hit a triple and the Pistons bled (53-69, 24′).
Brown was the best with 33 points (13/19 TC and 3/8 T3), taking that position as the lighthouse of the attack. “It is an honor to coach him when he plays like this. He sees the basketball in every possession, on both sides of the court. And he takes the shots that he knows he must take, for himself and for his teammates. He is a great player in all basketball in team and very fun to watch,” acknowledged Joe Mazzulla, their coach.

Brown tries to get strong.
“I wanted to be aggressive because we had several guys out. When Tatum is not here I have to play faster. I know it,” ‘JB’ himself confessed. They supported him with 20 points from Payton Pritchard, plus 19 from Kristaps Porzingis and Derrick White. Another victory for the leader and already classified for the Playoffs, increasing some scandalous numbers.
Because they have only lost to the Cavs (on the last possession) and the Denver Nuggets in the last 21 games. Because they are projected to have 66 wins, the best record of the century. Because they would return to their natural place: favoritism in the post-season. The ‘Green Pride’ causes panic in the NBA.
