Not a whole lot of buzz about this one, huh?I'm amped for it this is a good game for us, athletic bigs and pg that'll be desperate for a win and be swinging. I am curious how well fare with them.
TP to FL
GO CELTS!
& Happy New Year all
I won't be there live (hours of sleep to catch up).Thing is it seems like we always have let downs against the Wizards :-X
On paper, an easy game... let's hope paper translates to reality!
TP FL and go Celtics.
Got to scramble to a bar that carries NBA TV >:(Ugh, was thinking of doing that - could do with some hangover food.
I'll say this, Chris Paul does not get that offensive rebound.Chris Paul is nothing compared to Rondo ;D
I'll say this, Chris Paul does not get that offensive rebound.Aye. Not sorry about losing out on that one now :D
Offense looks so much better with the Captain back.I think this is the key to our offense. He brings a lot to the table, and makes their D have to play honest.
Omg. Jermaine playing good.. Two straight games, we should expect this level of performance every night from now on :P
Really good performance so far.Thats just great! ROOKIE TIME!!
It doesn't look like the Wizards are going to put up much of a fight here tonight.
I wish Rondo would just get himself going like this every game!
Looking for Bradley to really disrupt the flow of Walls game.
Are we still pretending Avery Bradley can play POINT GUARD in the NBA?
I personally think Bradley's D is a bit overrated.
Their announcers: "and Wall gets his second assist"
But it's not like they're counting or anything :P
I personally think Bradley's D is a bit overrated.
I have the sneaking suspicion it is too...which is why Im zeroing in on his D on Wall right now...
Wall is fast though. Bradley should play off him a bit, since he's 27% from the field before this game. Make him shoot a bit.I personally think Bradley's D is a bit overrated.

The Stiemer!
Pretty weak defensive play by Greg on the last possession, but nice block there.
I personally think Bradley's D is a bit overrated.
EDIT: I'd say the same for Rondo though, to be fair.
would rather see moore get time behind ray. i am just finished with the bradley experienceI don't like the idea of Moore trying to defend J.Crawford, N.Young or J.Wall.

Too slow and weak defensively.

Bradley made a shot...maybe the world will come to an end in 2012.
I love Keyon Dooling..
such a smart savvy vet.
Let's see if AB has any Tony Allen in him. Like when TA used to make a jump shot then all of a sudden look like Michael Jordan for 5 minutes...Hahaha! That was actually great times! Miss Tony on this team!
Lol...dontknow what u got till its goneLet's see if AB has any Tony Allen in him. Like when TA used to make a jump shot then all of a sudden look like Michael Jordan for 5 minutes...Hahaha! That was actually great times! Miss Tony on this team!
Don't look now but Garnett with 5 rebounds already. We're such a better team when he's hitting the glass.

bradley made a hoop!!!! HOLY GODYeah, I was an atheist 5 minutes ago, if that happens again, it just might change.
Yuck.. Nick Young, Jordan Crawford and Roger Mason as SGs. I couldn't think of a combination of more erratic and trigger happy players.
bradley with his third. hit the pineShame too, looked like a good defensive stand there.

It may be the wishful part of my mind paying tricks on me, but he does seem to moving better tonight.
not really impressed with john wallVery disappointing to start to his second year.
and the Cs start letting a very bad Wiz team back in the game

Just a mini 6-0 run and a well timed TO by Doc...Celts still in control.
Time to get the Captain back in.
Reckon it's the lockout? Perhaps not enough practice during the off season?not really impressed with john wallVery disappointing to start to his second year.
I was expecting him to make some real progress this season ... but none so far.
When Pietrus gets back, Daniels can move to the SG position. Ray can get his rest, but dunno bout KGTime to get the Captain back in.
They must be limiting him as he gets re-acclimated.
I wish we had the depth to do the same for Ray and KG too.
They got a couple of rebounds. Sure we'll be back on top soon, since they looked like rubbish still.and the Cs start letting a very bad Wiz team back in the game

felt like boston was on the verge of a nice 15-20 point lead though...
Rashard Lewis is too big and too skilled for Marquis Daniels to defend in the post.
That help defense has got to get there quicker. And Daniels has got to do a better job of pushing Lewis to the help D. Looked like there was no communication on that possession (between Marquis + KG).
It sounded like Wall had been doing a lot of work during the off-season and had been playing very well in a bunch of those exhibition games.Reckon it's the lockout? Perhaps not enough practice during the off season?not really impressed with john wallVery disappointing to start to his second year.

True. We'll see what happens. Could be the team around him as well.

Hopefully, it's just a spell of bad form to start of the season ... and he'll pick it up as the year goes on. Hopefully.
Did you hear that? We get a 4 day break? Interesting, I didn't know that.
Fun game so far
wiz look like 5 guys that are playing pick up ball...no structure or basketball IQ at all
JO with some serious lift!
Can we freeze him now and thaw him for the playoffs?
I've always hated how low and slow Pierce's release is on the 3 ball.
Don't give the man time to recover!
OT: How do you guys overseas watch these games?I personally use League Pass ;)
OT: How do you guys overseas watch these games?International League Pass. I don't mind paying a bit to get ridiculous HD quality that I can play on my TV through my laptop.
I keep waiting for Stiemsma to look like a rookie and he keeps pleasantly surprising me.Nah, on offense he still looks a bit timid some of the time. He's been great though.
I would throw in the starting lineup and see how he does.
He looks like a 10 year vet.
I'm glad there is league pass over there.
I'd imagine live streams would be hard to find sometimes.
Haha Live streams is as crappy as they come!I'm glad there is league pass over there.

TP. You said it, sport.
If I had no other choice I would definitely stream.
Nothing is worse than missing my C's games!

There is an extremely reliable stream site but I got in trouble for linking it :(.Yup, please do not post those here, otherwise us mods get in trouble. Not to mention Jeff, who'll get murdered by lawyers ;)
Well I guess its nice after that tough start, the NBA offered us Detroit and Washington twice
When does Saunders get fired? I don't think I have seen. Team so disinterested in plaing in its 4th game of the year. Wow.I don't think it's the coach's fault. It's the personnel.
Honestly, it mostly looked like we just had to get our game back.Well I guess its nice after that tough start, the NBA offered us Detroit and Washington twice
True, but we also got NO and that didn't work out so well.
This team is going to have to play well when they're tired this season.
Ray Allen will be hitting jump shots into his 50'sAnd afterward he'll be welcome to come play for our team here in Sydney ;)

Can that be accurate?

That NO game never happened.
So far we have lost to two great teams in close games, and dominated 1.5 games against bad teams. Not a bad start.
The NO game was a figment of everyones imagination.

Thanks for the update fellas. There must be glitch in the app.No prob ;)
I came in late, but it seems like everything is under control...Wizards are actually worse than the Pistons??They are worse haha.
Did that just happen? Rondo baiting someone into a mid-range-jumpshot-foul ala Billups (or PP)?
Anyone liking these wizard jerseys. Much sweeter than those awfull gold ones.
JO still a bit rusty..Paul tried to feed him and then Rondo...he'll get into a groove, eventually.

I think he's legit hurting. He's not moving around and when he cam down on that dunk, he was grimacing up the floor. Don't think his knees can take it

That's never been a requirement for him to come up lame. >:(JO still a bit rusty..Paul tried to feed him and then Rondo...he'll get into a groove, eventually.

I hope not..I haven't seen anyone touch the man..
I'd like to see Pierce or Rondo on the floor with the 2nd unit to start the 4th. Scared of turnovers & long bricks with the Wizards athleticism.
AND... JO is out. I knew I wasn't imagining things.JO goes out.. C's go on a run.
They're calling it a hammy/cramp
I hope that's all it is :-\
Sloppy. Get Rondo in!
The C's have a terrible bench
Bass' jumper looks like he's some sort of automotron or cyborg. But it's so money.He is so good that i cant remember the fat guys name that we traded for Bass.

It's not a terrible bench. Just not one that plays very well as a unit (no playmaking, weak combo of defensive bigs).

Also nice to see, Doc has done a nice job managing minutes today.Yup, and he did a decent job last game as well :)
Rondo triple double watch is in full effect. 3 more rebounds
BOOOOOSTOOOON CEEEEEELTIIIIIICS!!!!
Thoughts on no Pierce?Im sure they are just resting him ;)
Thoughts on no Pierce?Rest him a bit. All good. He was playing "hurt", right?
Thoughts on no Pierce?He sucks.

Quis moved ahead of him on the depth chart ;D
I hear that!Thoughts on no Pierce?He sucks.

True but you know i still feel like Pavlovic is our man at sf
Rondo is proof that rebounding is about HUSTLE. I wish our front court would take a cue from him.
Ugh, our third string is just... as awful as it gets
Come on Stiemsma! One block and you will lead the NBA!!He'll get his chances. He's right up there right now, so it's all good :)
Rondo is proof that rebounding is about HUSTLE. I wish our front court would take a cue from him.
They are taller but players like Barkley/Rodman basically proved this in the 80s/90s.
Someone needs to teach me a bit more about this rebounding thing. I'm good at boxing out, but somehow end up with relatively few rebounds for my height.Rondo is proof that rebounding is about HUSTLE. I wish our front court would take a cue from him.

Not that this is any real comparison, but in my old man pick-up games the only thing I can really do is rebound and I am the shortest on the court. It's not all about hustle, but hustle can go a long way.

I think little guys find it easier to be sneaky.
There's always a body on the big guys, but teams forget about the little guy, or the little guy finds a way to squirm in. Of course bigger players will always get the majority of rebounds, but I think we all know that annoying little guy who gets more than he should. It's about heading to the hoop at the right time and being sneaky.
