Pistons destroyed Orlando and at least beat the Celtics.

Best team the Celtics have beat is either Denver or Orlando. I don't think either team is particularly great, though both could potentially make some noise.

And we know the Spurs are great. We know Dallas is great. We know Phoenix is great. We also know that they are playoff tested and know that the regular season isn't all important.

I'm not saying they're not one of the five or so best teams in the League... but earlier this year this team was being compared to Jordan's Bull's teams and the words "best ever" were being thrown around by ESPN. They're not that. They're not the best in the League and until they prove, against SA, DAL, or PHO that they are on that level... they're not.
Winning tonight in Detroit helps their case immensely. That was a good basketball game tonight, and who would have thouhgt that Big Baby would end up being the hero. The celtics are 29-3 now, and are clearly an elite regular season team.
