PREVIOUSLY...the Detroit Pistons lost their fourth straight game last night, 109-86 at home against the Boston Celtics. Take your pick as to the worst thing to come out of last night's game, either Charlie Villanueva's claims as to what Kevin Garnett called him or this pair of quotes from John Kuester:
"We have to collectively someway or somehow find another voice besides my own that is going to lead us."
and Tayshaun Prince:
"He's right, but at the same time it goes both ways. We can sit here and continue to get on each other and be vocal, but like I said, the right thing has got to come from him as well as us. It goes both ways. He says we got to be more vocal, he has to do some things better, too. Obviously, we're 0-4 so it ain't just the team."
Good times.
