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

[Krusheasy]

I just remember Wall was really upset last off season.

cite your sources

 

[Krusheasy]

but they are not as good as any big 2 in the league. Not even close.

Mr Vocabulary ...

they are one win away from being ... top 4

that puts them ... "close"

 

[Krusheasy]

At first I was pissed at John Wall for being angry

i recall a story over the summer about the two of them having a "rivalry" & pushing each other

i do not recall any story discussing contract numbers tho.

Are the Celtics looking past the Wizards? Avery Bradley focused on beating Cleveland

Well, if Cleveland decided to give two shits about the regular season, you might have had to play them in the 2nd round instead of Boston. Whichever team faces Cleveland in the ECF, I wouldn't place them as the 4th best team in the league.

Proof the NBA doesn't want the Celtics to win this series...

last 2 minute report: clock error denied Celtics extra second to run final play

Dem muther fukers!

Yeah I pointed that out the morning after the game, that the foul came as the ball arrived yet they took off nearly 2 seconds. Couldn't Stevens ask for that to be reviewed?

I believe so. I've seen players/coaches request it before

I guess Stevens could have asked for a review. That was still a hellva game 6 though.

Yeah I've seen coaches and players do it before. Complain about the time and the refs will double check it at the monitor

Same here. Maybe @ the time Stevens wasn't aware of the clock issue.

Yeah most likely. I wasn't aware of it either. I saw it said 1.7 and had no issues with it

 

[WiggyRuss]

still not sure why Boston didnt play yesterday and SAS/GSW didnt play today....but whatever....

Finally we will know who has the privilege of playing LeBron next round

Obviously the Celtics had no issue w/ it. Otherwise someone on the bench would have spoken up.

The privilege of playing LeBron next year????

Yeah very stupid scheduling

 

[WiggyRuss]

*round....not year- my mistake.

Cavs have had too much rest if you ask me......this is getting ridiculous....

 

[bksballer89]

I saw that Wall is holding his opponents to 20% shooting. Very impressive

They have been resting for so long they'll forget how to play defense the next round.

And that was a brutal mistake. That additional 1.8 seconds or whatever it was would have been huge. I noticed it right away. The foul came as soon as the ball arrived, in other words right as the clock started. They got screwed but have nobody but themselves to blame for not being aware and challenging it.
