Well, after getting swept 4-0 by Bahston this season, we might as well go to Canada and get this over with. Actually, I think the Celtics have a better team than Toronto.

BOS is a bad matchup for us particularly cause of their big man depth. They have legit S5s. TOR is better then last year, and is still better then us, but they don't present that problem. However I think TOR is clearly a better team then BOS. Especially more so when Carroll comes back for em. Tor has legit depth this season.

Hard one... I think we learned something before - no changes will be made despite of playing bad. Wittman is safe EG is safe too and generally All is fine

Yesterday the Wizards looked like a team that quit. If they have any pride I'd expect them to come out with a bit of fire in their bellies, but who knows with this team, it's not like the series with Toronto has been all that competitive.

A loss here wouldn't be all that surprising.

In my experience, over time, it's always been a lot easier to push a rock down a hill than up. YMMV?

    I will watch the first half live, then the second half via delayed DVR. I want to finish some work before it gets too late. I hope it's a good game. Obviously, I'll be looking at the PG lineup, as I think most will.

    I'm glad that Kyle Lowry got in as a starter. That Kyrie was up for a starting position for so long was a complete sham. Lowry deserved it. As for John Wall -- when you are made to look foolish over and over by IT (as well as get your clock cleaned by Reggie Jackson after dissing his contract), yeah you are not an All Star starter. I'm very much a Wizards homer, but last night's game sealed it....I don't even think I'd put Wall into the All-Star game as a reserve, stats be damned.

    I hope Wall gets left off the AS team, sits at home and just burns, then uses it as fuel to rocket his dedication and work ethic for the second half of the season. Otherwise, the Wizards will be on the outside looking in come playoff time

    If the Wizards win tonight, we just need to play all our home games on the road. There's something wrong with the preparation at home. Something has to be done because this team has some really good road wins this season: Cleveland, Miami, Dallas, Chicago, Indiana

    P.S. When John plays against another top-notch PG and he thinks he has something to prove, his game gets all discombobulated and to prove everyone wrong, he tries to be a scorer -- often by jacking lots and lots of Js. Which is EXACTLY what he is not efficient at. It's as if the Wizards have no coaches or he just doesn't care to listen.

    If you see him looking to score more -- particularly jacking Js early in the shot clock to start the game, Wizards are screwed.
