So looks like we have a game today :P

Good little break for our guys. Last I heard Porter did practice prior to saturdays PPD game. Gooden was good to go too.

So maybe we're looking at

IT-Bradley-Crowder-Johnson-Sully
v.
Wall-Temple-Porter-Jared-Gortat

Porter's rebounding sure would help. His team defense too. Not having to play three guard sets on the bench would also help the rebounding but.... I doubt Randy does that. :noway:

-Defend the three point line
-rebound
-attack the basket
-Protect the ball (BOS gets a good amount of TOs)

8-6 seed all are within our grasp soon enough. :x

Time to start crawling up to the upper middle class of the East - join the Celts neighborhood. We have to grab the defensive boards much better than last time we played Bahston.

Probably a good idea for Wittman to focus on coaching rather than trash-talking with Crowder. And keep Isaiah Thomas in check for once.

If Randy can get Crowder and himself thrown out of the game, it'd probably greatly improve our chances :nod:
Hopefully they still will be yappin at each other.

No confidence in IT having a bad game, don't recall him ever not lighting us up. Need a cold shooting night from Olly though. He's gonna abuse Gooden otherwise >.>

honestly it's really dissapointing Wall hasn't decided to/been able to shut dude down. Given John's length, speed, height advantage...he should be taking it personal at this point

we catching an L though--team has our number. reminds me of last years raps

So Crowder won't abuse Oubre this game?

This is me and my back is killing me.

My street still isn't plowed. If I could get out, I'd try and hit this game. I bet tix are cheap on the secondary market because of the weather. I'd love to see what tix are going for on ebay, Tickemaster, and Stubhub.

Go Wizards!

It's too bad this will be another guaranteed loss. The Celtics own us. We just can't handle Isaiah Thomas surrounded by bigs who can shoot. We have no answers.

Well, last time we played we lost by two without Porter or Beal playing, so I'm not going to write this one off yet. Of course on the flip side, Wall played extremely well, so we probably can't expect the same production from him.

I have bad feelings about this game so it will be a Win ;) I am more concern when I feel confident that we win easily and at the end it is a blowout game from the opposite teams like Portland. So be prepared for celebrating :)))

Looks like Otto and Uncle Drew will be back. Plus some needed rest for Wall and Beal thanks to the snowstorm -- I'm feeling confident.

Not only do I anticipate a win But a win so stupendous, that we'll see a return of Millie to this board. Yeah, that big of a win.

Go Wizards!

Starting lineup is Wall, Temp, Otto, Nene, Gortat. Both Nene and Duds are very imperfect solutions at starting PF, but I think I prefer Nene. We are a better defensive and rebounding team with him in there and we still get the offensive punch from Duds off the bench. Obviously the downside is it is much harder to generate good 3 point shots, but that's probably the lesser of two evils.

John needs to take playing D against IT personally.

Is John trying to win or audition for the All-Star game?

Nene has been playing well since he got back from injury.
