Series Thread: 2nd Round: Boston Celtics vs Washington Wizards

.......and here come the Iverson comparisons.

The little guy is amazing.

He's a force and a much better shooter.

But, Iverson?

Yeah, I'm gonna need a bigger sample size.

I've always liked AI, (heart of a lion as a player) but always felt that formula (score 1st PG) was not conducive to winning titles.

The funny part of this series so far...WAS actually looks like the better team but just haven't finished.

This series is a good one! I just can't with the Wizards though. I mean, you have a double digit lead in both games and then LOSE them both???? They better get their act together because if the Celts ever manage to take control of the game sooner than the 4th quarter it could be over early for Washington.

We're watching different series.

Washington is getting out-physicaled by Boston and bleeding open looks to the C's on defense.

PJ tucker would have been a much better acquisition for the Wizards than Bogdan.

Same series, but much like WAS I haven't finished them...lol.

Yeah, true but WAS played well enough to have leads in both games in the 2nd half.

Yeah... in fairness, neither team is heads-and-tails better than the other... so there is room for interpretation/opinion.

Wash's starting 5 is money and their offense can hum at times. However, their negatives (bench, defense, toughness) stand out to me in a big way this series... even when Boston has been down, I haven't had the feeling Washington has had their number... rather, I suspected Boston would be right back in it as soon as they started hitting some of the open shots that the Wiz give away like candy.

Dave McMenamin ESPN Staff Writer
LeBron James got visibly emotional when asked about Isaiah Thomas' 53-point night on his late sister Chyna's birthday: "I believe that she was just looking upon him, looking down on him and giving him everything and more. There was no way he was going to get tired last night and I just felt that – and I saw watching the game – at no point was he going to get tired. I just think she was just looking down on him and just giving him any extra motivation, any little touch, any little spring."

Bogdon last night:

Mr. Blutarsky.... ZERO POINT ZERO points. 0/2 from the field in 8 minutes. Looks like Brooks is losing confidence

BOS has held serve at home...as a 1 seed I think we should've expected that. If they take one in WAS, obviously the series will tilt hard in the Cs favor.

These games, this playoff season shows just how much heart there is in the green. There young, sometimes numb, but they are all aligned and they ball. This is playoff ball. Anger, hate, spit on your face play. The NBA badly needs this and Green will be bringing this in the years to come. Sally ball is over

this is a good series for the NBa.

These teams do not like eachother AT ALL- and its fun to watch.

2 pretty evenly matched teams--- the Wiz maybe with a lil more star power- the Celts a deeper roster with a little more experience.

Its prob. the best 2nd round series in my opinion- most entertaining.

Dude had 5 straight games in double figures. He is a role player. They have bad nights and good nights. Really not the end of the world.
