GT#69 Wizards @ Celtics 8PM

No game thread is up yet, so here it is.

This is a must win if the Wizards want home court advantage in the playoffs. Boston's entire team is hurt. That had to scrounge up some guys from the YMCA to put on the court. But with Stevens coaching, I give them a better than 50/50 chance against our Wizards.

Keep Rozier, Tatum, and Marcus Morris each under 25, and we "should" be fine. Just don't let anyone have their career game against the good guys. How hard can that be? Then why do I have this sick feeling that the Wiz aren't going to show up?

Classic trap game. I expect us to come out completely lethargic. 10-15pt deficit in the first half. Strong comeback in the 4th quarter but too little too late.

We could've had Harden. FML.

I'm scared, a back to back vs a bunch of guys who want to prove that they belong. Could be bad.

Beal picking up where he left off last night...with a turnover.

9-2 deficit early. Boston playing with energy and focus. Wizards playing lethargic.

Absolutely shocked.

Nice start. Gortat and Kieff brought their D games tonight. :roll:

Wiz look slow so far in this game.

Boston playing a zone. Good ball movement should exploit that.

Not watching yet. Not rushing to the TV.

Sato should be on Tatum, not on Rozier

What is the point of these timeouts if you are going to leave the same f-ers in the game? Why start Gortat game after game after game when it's obvious he's a detriment on D and doesn't give much on O other than screens and passing.

The one time he was on him, they ran the high PnR with Gortat and he split both of them for a dunk. I don't think Porter can cover Morris either.

WTF Kief. Move the GD ball or drive. Otto was wide open. So he puts in Oubre for Gortat and goes small.

21-6.....15 point lead for Boston.

This team is so predictable.

Texas Southern versus North Carolina Central has NCAA implications. Let me go watch that

I feel like turning back in about a minute before halftime. They might catch up by then
