TP FLCeltsFan!
Time to end this in Game 6.
Everyone has been counting us out for a while, but we are now a win away from an ECF appearance.
GO CELTICS!!!
My gut tells me Isaiah Thomas will go OFF tomorrow (30+ points) and Bradley and Horford need great performances again.
FEED THE BALL AND RUN OFFENSE THROUGH HORFORD. That's the key!
I think Brad has finally figured out the Wizards. Brook now have to pick his poison either with IT or Horford because leaving one of them could hurt them. And there's Avery Bradley and Smart to slow down their best players.
I just hope my hunch is right and go on to face the Cavs.
time for IT to earn his Brinks Truck
time for IT to earn his Brinks Truck
Yessir, good call on that. Closing it out in 6 would hopefully quiet the media, too.
We win this game, that's 34 appearances in the Conference Finals. 6 more to catch the Lakers who have historically faced inferior competition out West.
Let's go, Celtics!
This post season, teams are 0-10 when facing elimination at home. Let's make that 0-11 tonight!!
Celtics dressing in all black, lol. This could be humiliating.

Go Celtics!!

Lol, there's no one here. Celtics just came on the court, there were some boos, but they had to play extra boos over the loudspeaker because the fans didn't boo loudly enough. Arena is maybe 10% filled as the players took the court.

It's pretty typical. They have a really inefficient security line. If you don't get here really early, you can wait 20+ minutes to enter the arena. It'll be full about halfway through the first quarter.
IT is making all his warmup shots. Bradley, not so much. I haven't seen Jerebko miss -- maybe he'all get some minutes today.

Only half full. Fans are pretty dead.
not digging the early repetition of their losing behaviors in games 3 and 4 by chucking 3's early. need to work it inside.
Does anybody remember when AB used to have trouble finishing?
No more!
Can't believe Cbs is playing our stud #3 pick. :police: :police:

Dirtiest player in the game!
No field goals the last 5 minutes. If Washington weren't also crapping on offense, we could have seen another 15+ point run.
We've shot 4/17 and are down 5. I'm okay with that.
Rozier can't finish a layup for crap lol
how is it AB can't get a foul call on that drive?
Such a frustrating few mins there. Can't make a shot but keep jacking 3s, not driving enough, poor officiating (foul on AB when he finally drives, interference by Oubre), wasting our 2nd unit advantage. Rozier and others missing bunnies.
Rozier can't finish a layup for crap lol
i have never seen so much stupid in shot selection like jae GOD AWFULSelection is fine, they are just misssing. At least 3 of those 3 pointers should have gone in.

Rozier has a serious layup problem that I don't understand.

Bradley carrying the team so far.

Smart WTH?!
This is crap. Just need to get out of this half without being down double digits.Amen to that. Then shoot better in the second half and the series is over.
hey, anyone streaming the game online? I have a firestick that keeps crashing and buffering
I really need to start drinking...I'll give it a try, ear um, for the team. Newcastle Brown Ale.

Celtics offense never travels to D.C.
I like the lineup of Horford, KO, Bradley, IT, Smart.On cue. :(
KO is looking pretty good.
terrible. wiz just stand under hoop all alone CBS needs to start telling guys go to the hoop or sit the [dang] bench
I really wish Jae crowder brought more to the table...he just takes 3s and acts like he is playing defense.
thx, not suffering by myself. wonder if there's another sourcehey, anyone streaming the game online? I have a firestick that keeps crashing and buffering
watching it on sling Tv. it is doing the same thing.
Is Isaiah ever going to get criticism for his no shows in Washington or is he off limits?
Feeling like a game 7. Celtics can't make shots in DCLots of time left.

He's being like triple teamed...
Thug Morris up to his tricks again
That's just a common foul. Nothing malicious there.
I really hate Jason Smith
Not naming names but some of the players that had big games in game 5, are really quiet.
If IT can be handcuffed like this, someone has to make them pay.
Thanks Al. I love you

Great 2nd quarter, especially the last 4-5 minutes defensively.Yeah, the first 8 minutes theysucked.
Wide open shots and bunnies. Choke, choke, choke.
Idiot!!
I think Thomas gets going in the second half.
Boston was down right bad in that half and now lead. Need to come out and take this sucker
The "Bullets" have IT well under control...somebody other than Horford needs to contribute.
Very lucky to be ahead by one at this half after the way we shot the 3 ball.
Man Jalen just needs something to go down. He is giving great effort on D and finding other ways to make a contribution. But he isn't shying away from taking the open looks, shots will start falling for him.

Agree. Far from perfect, but Jaylen has impressed the heck out of me this series.
Very excited to see his ascension.
His post the other day about playing a role on a winning team was awesome.

I must say I think the refs have been terrible both ways. A couple of technicals are going to called in the second half because both teams are mad at them.
Also, way fewer green shirts than normal in Washington. I think DC-area Boston fans have been demoralized by the first four games we've played here this year.

He was the first one out here for warmups to start the second half. They're falling for him in shootaround at least (from the right corner.)

Quality not quantity of fandom -- represent us well, salty. And thanks for the update. Lots of info missed from watching on tv. I'm confident we will pull this out. Unless you see otherwise, we seem to be the more poised team and working harder defensively.

C's Bench: a combined 39 minutes of play -- 2 points to show for it.
no clue how they could possibly lead at the half
Lol, Wizards fan in front of me just booed Wall after that last shot.
bass could slam and hit mid range J
how many layups can one team miss?Evidently quite a few. :(
That's a game changing run. Horford is such a monster.He is playing like he's the best big man on the floor for either team, which he obviously is.
We've been garbage and we're up 5... seriously this is the time to go on a run and put them away!
So far, no big run given up!
So far, no big run given up!
long way to go. we need a big run on them
One more foul on gortat and the whizzers are hurting.

Time to end this series. Let's go!!!
i swear if we ever get a beast rebounder......that alone could give us so many more posessions a game and chances to win. this second and third chance crap is for the birds

Sweep the leg!

Feels like a very chaotic game. There's a lot of off-ball contact going on. I think there will be a skirmish sometime in the 4th.
Play defense,hustle ,make open shots= a win.
Too bad Crowder didn't box out Morris. But the Cs have a lead!
Why aren't we getting foul calls.
Can't get a [dang] call but they get everything

KO plus minus must be horrid.

Not a good start at all. Wall on the bench and the Wiz go up.
two straight non calls when we drive and now DC has momentum. thanks NBA!
Kelly is always falling.
Bumbling and stumbling.
What are the chances that the Wiz fans are also complaining on their message boards that they aren't getting calls? I'd guess about 100%.
Mike
kiss-stealing, wheelin' n' dealin'Kelly is always falling.
Bumbling and stumbling.
he fiddles and diddles
Danny get a G---mn rebounder for next season...please....
wall drives and we cant stop him but they hack us all day
Yet another game showing how bad we need an upgrade in rebounding. Getting killed on the offensive boards and second chance points once again.It's the shooting that is the proble. Get another scorer and the Celtics win easy.
Kelly Olynyk's inability to defend anything is seriously hurting us this quarter.He shouldn't be in there! Where is Amir for this matchup? I don't understand Stevens.
The officiating is embarrassingly one-sided right now.
Can we get a 3 second call!!!!!!!!!!
TONY BROTHERS
Gortat riding Horford like a horse. Giddeup- no foul on Al's drive.This is the stuff Brad needs to be publicly complaining about. He hasn't said a word and Wiz have kept it up this entire series.
Wow.
Can we get a 3 second call!!!!!!!!!!
TONY BROTHERS
I feel like you're trying to tell us something.
It's time little guy!We need him because Beal and Wall are hot

Why is consistency such a difficult concept for officiating crews to master? How can you simply not call the game the same way on both ends of the court?Because these are NBA officials and they are the worst officials in any sport at any level
Gortat can do whatever he wants and no foulJudging by that last possession, he'd make a great offensive tackle for some NFL team...
Uggghhhh, terrible possession. You can't put Smart in that position with the time running out on the shot clock.

DO U HAVE A LOUD BEAR'S SCREAM?!!!!!! THIS IS RUSSIAN CELTIC!!!!!!!!5-30 AM here
This is reviewable now?!
OMG.. I can't believe he called that an effing blocking foul!!
This is reviewable now?!
I'm thinking the same...
Good reversal
My heart won't be able to take this
ahhhh yes back to stupid shot selection againThat's a foul 82 games every season.
come on IT u cant do it forever man pass down low
a turnover when we cannot afford it ona trap
That was game. Hand it to the Wiz for keeping their composure. We had it.
Brad is making me angry by keeping Olynyk in there. He can't guard a chair.He's not supposed to guard Bradley Beal.
I'm having less problems with Horford's max contract
I swear, I thought this shot was falling a foot and a half short from that angle.Me too.
MY GOD, OUR $113M MAN!
MY GOD, OUR $113M MAN!
Under paid.
Lets see what brad Stevens can do with 3 seconds3 and a half
With a shot like that, they deserve to win.
How on Earth do two second come off the clock on a play where our guy gets fouled immediately?good point
No way that took 2 seconds.
No way that took 2 seconds.
That's what I was thinking! There's no way an inbound with a foul immediately committed took two seconds off the clock.
Theyre celebrating like they just won the SuperbowlWho can blame them? When was the last time DC won a thing in anything? This is the biggest win in the last 30 years in DC since the Redskins won the Super Bowl in the 80s
Game was lost by Isaiah's turn over.
Olynyk is useless.So was Marcus Smart tonight
Olynyk is useless.
Choke job.
This was a wasted opportunity.
Shut up Wall...jackass
Brutal loss, but C's played tough. Terrible TO when they had it in the bag. Long 3 with hand in face. What can you do?

Exactly. If they got blown out I'd be worried about game 7. They'll take it at home, garden will be pumped.
Gortat MVP. Has been shoving people on screens.
when IT was doubled and had a turnover, they ahouldve called a timeout before.
Up 2 with 7 secs, you dont give up a three. Players should defend closer than that.

not sure why he gave him so much cushion. Doesn't make sense.
Dang, they had a 5-point lead with a minute to play, couldn't even get to the foul line for some freebies to pad the lead.
Now we've gotta hear all about how great the Wiz are for two days.
I just rewatched the Oubre foul. Whistle blew a full second before the clock stopped.duh

No guarantees in game 7 especially when you're a team that relies on the 3 like the C's do. But this is why you try to get home court advantage throughout. If they lose this series they blew it up 5 with the ball and a minute + to go.

Yeah, as I've been saying, the refs impacted this outcome. From mid-third quarter on they got almost all the calls, especially the no-calls inside. In a close game against a good team a couple points can make all the difference.
We did well to come as close as we did.

He's a 32% 3PT shooter and he was wayyyy behind the line. Press up and he'll drive on you and possibly kickout to Beal, a 40% 3PT shooter.

Hindsight is 20/20, but that loss hurt. I hope the team can get up for game 7.
awful officiating for us tonight. I don't usually get too upset by refs but they stole this one from us tonight.
Just some horrible calls at crucial stages.
I know Horford ended up making the shot, but should the Celtics have played for the last shot on that possession? The game was tied, and I believe the shot clock was turned off. The worst case scenario is overtime.
Bench was brutal... Another reason why celts lostYeah they were awful Hopefully it's the Wiz bench's turn to suck again in Game 7
Game 7 celts will win. No worries.

It was a terrible pass and they had a foul to give.
The defensive breakdown against Beal is on him though.

This. We played by the numbers, and John Wall, by the numbers, isn't really a reliable 3 point shooter, and logically its the correct thing to do.
No one could account the amount of intestinal fortitude of John Wall to take that shot. That's literally a "we win or lose, but it will be because of me" kind of a shot.
We got beat by a big time shot, by a player who was willing to risk it all. While I'm very disappointed in the outcome, I can't really be mad at that.
Well, I can be mad at the IT TO when no one helped him as he got trapped, leading to a Beal 3. But that's about it.
Please stop blaming officiating... It happens both ways and usually evens out
Now we get to see if the Cavs handing us the #1 seed matters. #homecourtadvantage #moralvictorychamps
I know Horford ended up making the shot, but should the Celtics have played for the last shot on that possession? The game was tied, and I believe the shot clock was turned off. The worst case scenario is overtime.
Awful late game execution on both ends made that game winner possible.
not sure why he gave him so much cushion. Doesn't make sense.
Brad had GREAT plays down the stretch. And Bradley did the right thing, you don't press up on John Wall.
The hell you don't. In that situation press up all the way on him.
He's a 32% 3PT shooter and he was wayyyy behind the line. Press up and he'll drive on you and possibly kickout to Beal, a 40% 3PT shooter.
Hindsight is 20/20, but that loss hurt. I hope the team can get up for game 7.
Yep we got beat by one great shot. We'll be back.

Unfortunately no, the clock was not turned off, the Wizards would have had time left on the clock either way.
The 5 point lead we had at the end, when it looked like we had a win... wasn't handled very well.
Starting at the trap of IT leading to the turn over...
Game 7 in Boston should be "the jungle"
We've been the better team the last 2 games, which is a nice shift from the previous couple.
We have game 7 at home where the NBA can't extend the series for TV $ any longer.
We are in good shape.

nah, there was like a 5 second difference
Was not a fan of smart tonight.
Game 7 is going to be a blowout either way. I do not see a close game.
Wall: "Don't come to my city wearing all black."
Lol. Wall is a clown that's far more interested in his image than winning basketball games. He got gifted on a bad shot. He should be thinking about how he could've gotten a higher %age shot rather than beating his own chest.

No chance is there an available kickout to Beal. You don't help off of him.
If you need to help on a drive, you come off of Gortat (who can't shoot threes) or Morris (36% from three). Beal and Porter you cover like glue.

Watch the replay. Beal already slid backdoor and was going to cut towards the baseline. Anyway that was one great shot, we'll see what the team is made of in a couple of days.
Big choke job by the C's. BIG. They had this. It's what they get for wearing the stupid black suits.
5 up at that time ...you want to get a good shot. Team did not come back to help IT when he was trapped at mid-court.

Boston should have known that Washington was going to go for the win. And Wall was going to take the shot. He stepped right into it. Get on his hip...let him drive...foul if you have to. He was not giving the ball up

Exactly this. I can't tell you how dumb this type of move is. It's complete arrogance and a lack of respect for the opponent. All it did was motivate them. I just really hate the character and BBIQ of this particular team at times.
Wizards fans are celebrating like they won the title. Seriously, I'm ready for a parade on Monday.
Also, I'm still 0-for-my-lifetime in attending Celtics playoff games. It was probably my karma that did it. Sorry everyone.

Why are you made?
Take those goggles off
He said nothing wrong. IT would have said the same thing.
Wall has a right to tell them off, he beat them on that shot and kicked them out of Washington back to Boston.
I got respect for Wall, and he was a true warrior today.
Blame the dumb Celtics for trying something stupid.
Last time i checked IT Crowder and company were saying it was foolishness and they would never do something like that. Months later and they pull this off, at least Washington backed it up and sliced them back when they did it. Celtics looked like losers tonight.

I actually agree with this. Like I said before the game: you can posture all you want, but you'd better be able to back it up when the game starts. We didn't back it up, and now we look like fools. Can't be butthurt that Wall called us on it.
I hope the team is livid right now. They should be celebrating and looking forward to Cleveland. Instead they're in for another fistfight.
Next week will be very good. We will win game 7 on Monday, then lock in Fultz in the draft lottery tuesday

Thanks for giving us the updates early on. On TV, it looked like the Celtics were the better team for the majority of the game. Their over-celebration speaks well to our hold on the series, imo -- I'm confident for game 7. Is that how it looked live?
Please stop blaming officiating... It happens both ways and usually evens out
NO! if u think the NBA has COMPETENT OFFICIATING and is fair and always equals out i really do not know what to say
I don't understand how crowder has gone from one of my favorite players to an absolute bum.. he may have the worst shot selection in nba history. Smart was trash tonight and also threw up some of the dumbest shots if you can even call them that..

Cmon... Every team feels they were robbed
Why dont th Celts fans then blame the refs if the opponents lose due to "bad" officiating?

I like Crowder, but he has been choking a lot of 3pt shots in this series.
He needs to drive to the rim more to get himself going.

I feel he's been missing on his drives too. I won't be at all surprised to hear that he's gotten a procedure done on his ankles at the end of the season.
Totally upset...please give me a reason the Cs should win on Monday; because right now, I am not feeling it. The Cs went into this game ready to give their best and it wasn't enough. We could be in for a big let down (and the 1st home loss between the teams) in game 7.
Brown and smart strictly became defensive players tonight
Zero offensive production.... So tired of smart missing FTs... 81 percent ft shooter... Act like it in the playoffs
Olynyk passing up shots... That was foolish

11 playoff elimination games have ended on the road this season. I don't like our chances on Monday at all. Tonight was the best this Celtics team could put in. Wizards have the hot hand in Game 7.
If I'm remembering correctly he's only been called once for an illegal screen this series, but is constantly moving and pushing people after he engages the screen. If the patriots had guards that pulled like gortat james white would run for 2000 yards.. I really don't get it.Please stop blaming officiating... It happens both ways and usually evens out

Gortat shouldve fouled out earlier. He was literally shoving people on screens. It wasnt the usual moving screens that most people set.
What is Kelly Olynyk doing in the game on key defensive possession in the 4th quarter ?We may never know.. seriously tho I don't think I've ever seen a more uncoordinated player on the court ever. He must have fell at least 3 time just this game with little to no contact. He's like a newborn deer out there. I really wish jerebko would get that bums minutes because he gives 100 percent effort all the time and actually plays defense.
He got beat off the dribble over and over. Jaylen Brown, with Olynyk's minutes would score just as well while rebounding and defending much better.
What is Steven's love affair with Olynyk ?

That blown goal tend call by Oubre came back to bite us, that two points they should not have got made all the difference in the end.QuoteWhat is Steven's love affair with Olynyk ?
You are aware he had 8 boards last night.

When you don' t a great bench or they are not playing well, you have to choose the lesser or evils. Amir looks shot from time to time. Kelly is all over the place in terms of play, some nights good other nights bad. But we could sorely use a reliable four that would limit the amount we have to rely on the invisible men on our team, who sometimes vanish in games.
Even a 4 that is on Markieff Morris' level would make a huge difference for this team.
