8:00 p.m. start with both teams on a tail end of a back-to-back.
Wall had to play some unnecessarily hard minutes last night. Let's see how much left he has in the tank.

Gortat needs to feast on the boards. Celtics are one of those teams with no centers.

For better or (more likely) worse, Brooks has to give a lot more minutes to the bench tonight - considering the schedule and how many minutes the starters have played. Outside of Horford, Bahston's lacking a consistent quality big, imo - I think Amir is heading downhill. I'd go to Morris early and see if he can take advantage.

IT has got to be the biggest concern. Wall has had a lot of difficulty with him in the past.
He's a tough matchup and I don't think our typical strategy of having Wall trail him around
picks will be effective unless the wiz guarding the screener steps out and sets a hard trap.

That's right, boss. John Wall with a 40/15/8 game. Jason Smith with the game winner put back. Calling it now.

The only put back he's getting is when they put back the hair on his famous bald spot.

I heard he got that thing because he hit his head on the rim so much it rubbed the hair off.

Nah, we don't have a game until Saturday. Brooks ALWAYS plays the starters heavy minutes when there's multiple days of rest following the game. Expecting at least 40 for Gortat and Wall.

Wow, they'll get 2 whole days off. This will make 3 games in 4 days and 4 games in 6 days. Brooks would be short-sighted to play the starters heavy minutes tonight, imo.

He doesn't have to play the starters heavy minutes. Any average coach could utilize Burke, McClellan, Satoransky, Oubre and Smith to offset the reduced starter minutes. EG gave Brooks the players. Now it's up to Brooks to use them correctly. This is a win, or it's on Brooks. I love this new tangent.

Horford made the All-Star game as a center.

I think my post gave the wrong impression. I like it when Brooks overplays the starters, cause it's the only way we stay competitive. The biggest **** you to Ernie would be playing the starters 40 minutes over and over.

No, just commenting on the championship caliber but poorly utilized bench. EJ used to play his starters a lot too, despite having championship caliber bench of Etan, Songaila, Arvis, Blatchmo, ADK, etc. Jordan just didn't know how to utilize their talents, and they were nothing compared to the current Wizards bench. Used properly the current bench should put us into contender status. EG did his job. Brooks needs to do his job, properly using the bench.

Last game Brooks really dropped the ball playing Jason Smith at the 4 instead of the 5, where he is soooooo much more effective.
Gortat played only 42 minutes last night so that left a full 6 minutes that Brooks could have used Smith at center. Not fully utilizing Smith for those 6 minutes was just inexcusable.
