Since Washington is a notoriously bad defensive team boston should be able to get whatever they want. I just hope they don't forget about attacking the paint first before they kick out and shoot three points

If the there is a team in the league you could break a record on the Wizards are the one's
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

Old friend Malcolm Brogdon and forum favorite acquisition Saddiq Bey are both OUT for the Wizards.

Celtics are already running away with the first seed so they get to rest guys before the playoffs. Nothing to see here :wink:

I really liked the fluidity in Jayson's shot last night.

Of course it looks better when it goes in and your team is hitting a record number. But I thought he was assertive and the follow through looked way less clunky than last season. Even better he took a much wider array of different looks at each level.

In games like this (no disrespect Wizards - well maybe a little) that sort of consistency is what I'm really interested in.

That and watching Derrick White and Jrue Holiday give Poole/Kuzma fits!

Only natural that after I pumped up our bench from last season (X, Sam, PP), they embarrass themselves with that atrocious shooting display.

They’re the **** worst.

Smaller back? More practice with heaves? Oregon tough?

Why not?

It's Tatum vs. Tatum 2.0.

Unfortunate if Hauser can't go. Last time he was in Washington, he drilled 10 threes before getting injured...



Also, when do they do the White House visit? Are they gonna wait for a new prez? Their next visit to Washington is on Nov 22.

- I expect the Celtics to win by anywhere from 20 to 60 points. If they still had Walker, definitely closer to 60.

- Much haranguing on Sports Radio about how sustainable the Celtics 3-point offense is? Already blowback about them returning to posting up more and easing off from such voluminous outbursts.

- The Warriors just don't lose in their new re-tooled ways. Buddy Held seems to be a great addition.

- I would load manage to the Nth Degree when playing clubs like the Wizards/Detroit/Charlotte, etc. I'd give both Horford
and Holiday the day off and get the PP flowing along with King Kornet. Injuries, injuries, injuries are my biggest
concern with the Celtics repeating and they are not injuring themselves if they are not playing. Unless, they're Marcus Smart...
