Just get out of this game with the win somehow and then momentum is all on our side and we can regain our swagger Infront of the home crowd.

They look like they believe the Celtics are he better team. Piss poor effort

Is it just me or did the Celtics fans boo Porter when he got up from what had looked like a potential serious elbow injury?

It took you the entire season to realize that he's bad defensively, that he doesn't protect the rim, doesn't push out on the guard in the PNR, doesn't challenge shots or even put his hands up?

You just articulated exactly what I was thinking all game - Wall is the ONLY player on our team that looks like he knows we can win this game. Everyone else is playing scared.

* Morris isn't, but he isn't on the court enough.

There's been a few possessions where you could question their effort, but overall I think they're doing a good job battling and sticking with it.

Beal doing the drunk monkey there for a while really is what gave the Celtics most of their momentum but the Wizards are still ahead.

The things that went wrong for them in the 2nd quarter can be fixed.

I never said he was good defensively, I just said Wall and Beal and Porter didn't fight through screens as well.

A Boston dream, look at all those little white kids running the floor during the break, not a black face among them.

I may sound like a broken record but Jennings and Bogs don't bring nothing. Add to that Beal is playing like ass our chances to win this game seem to be very slim. How can our bench can score 5 or 7 points and gave up how many over 20?.
Olynik, Crawder and Smart are all dirty punks. I wish someone knock them out.

Yes they did. They booed Morris after he got hurt in game one too. Trash fans following a trash team.

Gortat's not exactly slouching out there either, though I see your overall point.

The bench in particular has no confidence (at least on the road).

A lot of respect to Brooks if he would just bench Jennings and play Satoransky. It CANNOT be any worse. Jennings is so useless

He went for the ball. Are you watching the replay? Flagrant 2? It's not even a flagrant.


lol if you hit them in the head it's a flagrant 1.

If you reverse this play and put IT insted of OP it would be ejection

The bench got the final kiss of death when you brought Jennings in, i dont remember him ever anywhere having a positive impact. Now i just wait for EG to bring in Beasley too :lol:

Satoransky Oubre and Mahinmi are the only players who should play off the bench. We play one of those players

They're really getting into Jennings when he's out there running things, but Beal trying to run things didn't help matters with that second unit either.

Perhaps they need to simplify their offense a bit when the backups are in there.

Get Jason Smith some touches in the box, or some shots of simple pick and pops, missed shots are better than turnovers by a mile.

Morris playing was a huge lift. Too bad he has three fouls.

The scary part about this game is Wall is in God mode and we still are not really winning.

Beal and Porter are MIA.

Brooks played Bogs long enough to cause harm to a lead.

I guess the game will come down to Morris's foul trouble and if Beal can show up.

Feeding Gortat offense got quarter one rolling. John Wall is going to have to go for near 50.

Captain Obvious says their bench is way better than ours.

I feel bad about this...
