Wiz at Celtics Game Thread

Good ol Boston Refs

Wow.

Wall hack then Green palms the ball and charges.

Wizards get none of the calls.

The NBA should look into recording hockey-like assist as a stat, you could keep them distinct from traditional assist to keep purist happy, win-win situation. Too many great passes in this league are not rewarded with anything.

I think Wall lost his scoring rythm from sitting so long but he should be rested enough to go nearly the whole 24 in the 2nd half. Need some D though

[sfam]

I understand that John needs a rest, but must Randy completely cool him off every time he gets hot?

Yes. In fact I hope that's the plan. I agree with the Big E - lets try to win games, but lets not try all out. Tanking has its benefits. I personally want a choice between Len and Burke - this won't be possible if "those meddling kids" (John Wall) screw everything up by continuing to win.

Every single fan reaction shot in the garden is pasty and blindingly white. Also Darius Songaila would just be murder playing with John Wall right now.

Why is the last time Nene hit an outside shot ?

They need energy. Go with Kevin, Ves, Singleton. Nene just can't move. He needs to lose some weight.

Sucks we don't have this guy. Third in the league in double doubles.

I've never seen a team play so poorly on the road, no matter the opponent.

[Jimmy Recard]

The fake crowd noise is deafening

Its like they forget to pack their hearts and their brains.

Man, I hate everything about playing the Celtics. I hate Kevin Garnett's moving picks. I hate the piped in crowd noise. I hate Tommy Heinsohn. I hate (though respect) Paul Pierce's junk game.

John is going to have to take over the scoring load. We just can't make anything.

[hands11]

The fake crowd noise is deafening

It should be illegal

Its just so pathetically sad.

[hands11]

Wow. Wall just clobber Randolph. Nice.

Wall have zero FTA today.

[DANNYLANDOVER]

these refs are a joke

[Jimmy Recard]

And that idiot Tommy Heinsohn saying 'Wall needs to be decked on the other end now'

[Ruzious]

I can't blame Wall. The lack of calls he's been getting (not getting) is ridiculous. Randolph had just obviously fouled him at the other end. Boston doesn't need the officials help to win this game, but they're getting it.

[miller31time]

Seraphin might be the worst passing bigman I've ever seen.

[nate33]

The Wizards are so incredibly ice cold right now that' it's embarrassing.

[miller31time]

Wall isn't having a great game but it's due to a chain-reaction of events. No one is hitting their shots when he gets doubled off the P&R (which we run almost every time down the court). He's not going to beat the double much so he wisely kicks it out to the corners or the top of the key - where no one is making a damn thing.

Wall also isn't hitting his mid-range jumper ever since the 1st quarter which isn't exactly helping him once he comes off the pick.

And the officiating has been obviously terrible, but that goes without saying.

[hands11]

They are just a totally different team on the road.

They just have no fire. There defense just is all out of sorts.
