Millsap, league leader in "internal" wins, said that the series is 0-0

This is the game I predicted before the series that we run them out the gym and I still stand by that

It's 2-0 and that's a good thang.

I hope it will be a blow out win for Wiz. We don't need unneccesary "entertainment".
Sweep them and rest waiting for Bulls.

My "silent" protest about delating my good luck charm in last GT.
In my opinion It was blowed out of proportion. Girl was dressed. I saw more nudity in rap videos on MTV. But whatever...

Rondo is out indefinitely with a broken thumb. He's in a cast and will be revaluated in 7-10 days. I remember Wall coming back so it wouldn't shock me to see a rough guy like Rondo do so but a thumb is a little different. Im not looking past the Hawks and I think that I'm one of the few who still gave Boston a shot to come back but honestly I really just had my mind set that we were facing the Bulls in the next round. Rondo and Wade are playoff horses but I felt that they were far too old for Wall-Beal and we just are match up problems for them across the board. Then you add the HCA and I was feeling great.

I still think the Celtics aren't built for the playoffs but I am a Lil worried now for some reason. It's kinda weird when you have your mind set on something and it changes, not naturally but unexpectedly and we lose the HCA. Not only that but if Boston comes back from 0-2, they will be riding high and at that point they will probably be using Thomas sister as motivation. The only good thing is we still have match up advantages and we hate them so much that we will still be as intense and probably even more so than we are against the Hawks. More than likely, the Bulls win in 6 and Rondo starts game 1 vs us

Mahinmi update - not good news, but at least it's not outright bad news:

WASHINGTON -- Wizards backup center Ian Mahinmi will miss at least Games 3 and 4 of Washington's first-round playoff series against the Atlanta Hawks.

Washington coach Scott Brooks said before traveling to Atlanta on Friday that Mahinmi's strained left calf was re-evaluated and has improved, but he "definitely won't play the next few games."

Brooks is not sure how long Mahinmi could be sidelined, saying, "There's really no timetable, other than: Whenever he's ready, he's ready. There's no pressure from me or our staff."
