sooner or later we will win a game. Maybe not tonight, I did predict
0-7, and actually now I think it could even get worse than that. But
you never know.

At a min it is a good teaching moment to go back to back against a good team.

That way they can watch film and adjust.

We should have the better legs. And if they don't dig a hole early, they have a chance.

If I was Boston, I would bring it early and trying to put them away so they can save energy later.

Closet Wizards fan here (born in raised in Miami, lived in DC and VA past few years). I'll be watching the game tonight and hope for a win. DC is a fun team to watch, and hope they can string together a victory tonight.

Has a rookie ever missed an entire season with an injury the team won't tell the fans exists?

If by "fun", you mean excruciating, then yes, we are a lot of "fun".

I just wanna know if they were saving Cavs retread Pavolic so
his fresh legs would do us in tonight. Sasha the secret weapon.

Stop, stop, I take it all back. We're doomed. Now he'll either
go off for a HUGE game or hit the game winner after Allen
fouls out trying to guard a hot Nick Young when the ref
forgot he was paid to let BOS foul as much as necessary.

Turiaf out 5-6 weeks with a broken hand..
Maybe Seraphin will get some burn now.

now we get more Seraphin. I liked how RT was playing but he
wasn't part of our future. We know that. We don't know about
KS yet. This will presumably provide data points.

And make CCJ a happier man!

I watched the one pre-season game Ves was in to try and see where he got hurt and I didn't see anything???? Give-up some info Mike Lee.

Let me give you some advice. Stay in the closet and protect your santiy/reputation with friends.

if your friends are Heat fans, get new friends!

Only just watched the other game. That Rondo and-1 in the 3rd quarter was a clear charging foul. (I think it was) Wall was not quite stationary, but if you look at the replay his arms are straight up, he has position and it is CLEAR that Rondo initiates the contact. Wall is there at the point of collision before Rondo's shoulder arrives.

I dont know but where I come from that is either an offensive foul or a no-call.

Yeah, still nothing, it makes no sense

That's a good way to look at it. Although I was beginning to suspect Turiaf was rubbing off on McGee in a good way.

LOL wow flip is gone in 1 minute...

Shard did get splashed from the top rope on that play, though. Flip had a right to get angry. Dunno if it was necessary to get *that* worked up, however.

The refs are lettin' 'em play right now - on both ends of the court. A lot of contact, a lot of moving screens, etc.

Tommy Heinsohn just compared Steimsma to Bill Russell. Oh, Tommy.
