I still think we are one of the if not thee most talented team in the East. I think the Atlanta game was good as the final wakeup call. All I know is that heading into Cleveland, we still had one of the best records in the league against plus 500 teams. I have been to the Raps, Celtics, and 76ers board and we are the #1 team that all 3 want to avoid. It's time to move the ball, play faster in the 4th, and ball out

I think this game is pretty important. It shows what we are capable of and how well we do in fact matchup with the Celtics. Personally, I do not think we match up fairly well even without them having Kyrie. Hopefully this game tells us whether we want to play hard to rank up in the seeding to play Boston or not.

Crap. Webber is doing the TNT broadcast. They really shouldn't let him do Wizards games.

That stepback didn't hit but Otto's movement didn't even look that bad on the attempt. Like...there's no reason why he shouldn't randomly take at least two of those a game.

Did Marv Albert call him Otis Porter during the starting lineups?

Why does everyone else in the league get a ton of looks from 3 but we never do?

Typical Wiz start. Boston has nothing to play for and they are making everything and Ding up.

Gortat and Otto should have switched on the screen Otto died on.

Nothing like a Gortat drive that goes nowhere and leads to a fastbreak on the other end.

Horford is such a Wizard-killer.

That Otto/Gortat pick and roll was absolutely horrible. Otto should immediately have asked for a clearout and posted up the much smaller Terry Rozier.

On the other side, Baynes looks infinitely more athletic than Gortat right now.

Do you want to play Toronto or Boston? Does it really matter? Sure, I'd still take Boston but again, we play like this and we'll get swept by anybody in the playoffs.
