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

[tlance]

Take Gortat out please. I'm sorry but he needs to be done for the night

Yeah perhaps.

If they are going to use him, at least use him right. He is a pretty good finisher off pick and roll. He is not a guy you can throw the ball too in the post. Especially not when he is struggling.

What's with your obsession with "faggots?"

I'm gay

 

[bksballer89]

Talk about a bailout. That was a terrible possession by Washington. A lot of standing and watching. Beal saved that possession

 

[DorianRo]

IF there is one thing missing from Wall's game its that 3 ball. If he gets that thing consistent, he may be the best in the world soon.

Which can happen.. Rose was hitting the 3 ball awesome before that first knee injury.

Action really staring to pick up. This one looks like it is living up to the hype. Great game so far.

 

[WiggyRuss]

WTF kind of defense was that in the transition there? And why is dumbass Morris passing to Gortat in the paint? Gortat can't score worth a shit.

its hard to be a real contender when your starting froncourt is Morris and Gortat--- esp. when you have that kind of bench.

Porter was a nice pick - and has settled in nicely as an above average 3....

but the rest of the roster has just not been put together well. Maybe Oubre will develop----- but other than that- does anyone on this team besides Wall and Beal have any kind of value if Washington went to make a deal? Would any other team in the NBA give up any kind of real asset for anyone on the Wiz not named Beal or Wall or Porter??

 

[DorianRo]

Surprised this game is so close. Without how Washington looked on the road recently, I thought the Celtics may have taken them out of the game early.

its a great point-

if Wall ever learns to shoot- lookout.

Whats ultimately is gonna hurt Boston against Cleveland is that they just don't have a great player on that team.. They got a collection of good players. But gotta have great players in the post season. While Washington has a great player, they dont have very many good players. Complete opposite

 

[WiggyRuss]

Beal is coming up big tonight...finally found his shot on the road.

Wiz are beating Boston on the boards 31-19......thats big.

say what you will about Gortat- but he has the most boards in this game right now- and has more offensive boards than the whole Boston team.

 

[Gman]

Mahinmi is garbage. The Wiz need to sit that stiff on the bench.

You do realize Washington played one bad road game in this series right and 2 for this entire playoffs right?

They usually lose on the road but it is usually due to one bad quarter. They were only really bad in G3 vs Atlanta and G5 of this series

stars win in the posteason- absolutely right.

Cavs will prob trap IT like they trapped DeRozan- at least here and there--- if Boston's secondary players can hit 3's itll cause the CAvs to adjust--- but guys like Bradley, Olynk, Crowder etc. will have to hit their 3's if they want to keep it interesting.

Another reason I prefer to see Washington over Boston in the ECF.....Can't deal with another playoffs series of Horford getting absolutely destroyed on the glass by TT. At least Gortat can compete on the glass.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Wiz 47% from 3 in the game with a big rebounding advantage and its only tied......dont know if thats good or bad for them. lol.

 

[The Derski]

Real Deal Beal

Boston role players are much better than Toronto IMO.

 

[bksballer89]

Washington needs to regroup ASAP

 

[Gman]

Nice flurry to end the quarter there for the C's

Good stuff.
