Whichever team wins must be prepared to dress in all black for the post-series press conference.

Celtics in 7.

home court ends up deciding this series. Both teams win a road game, but game 7 goes to Boston.

Celtics in 6. I think both teams will defend their homecourt and we'll just manage to get a win in Washington at some point and then close it out at the Garden.

Celtics lose Games 1, 2, and 3.
Celtics win Games 4, 5, and 6 to reclaim home-court advantage.
Celtics win Game 7 in an OT thriller.

Wall Chokes,
Bradley shuts down Beal

Wall starts a fight with Crowder, and gets beat up,
Horford goes into beast mode

Cs in 6 with the Wiz only winning their 2 home games

I went Cs in 5, but only because I feel like they are on such a roll and there is no way they can lose...right?

I don't see the C's winning this one. John Wall is putting up 30-4-10 on 52% shooting from the field and 47% from 3. if Rondo could go 2-0 on the C's with an inferior supporting cast, i dont see how the C's don't get swept.

I voted Celtics in 7.

This is going to be a tough series.  Wiz are a very good team, despite finishing below Boston in the standings.  With the addition of Bogdanovic at the deadline gave them a good scorer off the bench.  Wall and Beal are going to be tough to stop, but I think the C's are playing some of their best ball right now so I took them in seven.

Honestly, wouldn't be surprised if we drop this one.  Washington could be a top team for the next few years and I don't think we've seen their best ball yet.

This series could get chippy!  Playoff basketball, baby!

Let's go Celtics!

let me plagerize the bejeezus out of SoSH and add some info to this thread. SoSH started a C vs W series thread and posted info on their regular season games. I thought it might be of interest to folks here. Enjoy, and if you really like it, go thank Smastroyin.

_________

11/9: Wizards win 118-93. Celtics without Crowder or Horford. Porter and Gortat combine for 47 points on 20/28 shooting. Celtics only score 8 points in the first quarter, after that it's basically a run and gun game, Celtics never make it interesting, Wizards stopped playing defense. Beal hardly played but Trey Burke subbed in and hit for 18 on 7/9 shooting. Without Horford or Crowder, Stevens played a lot of guards - AB, IT, and Smart were all 35 minutes+, Rozier played 14, and even Demetrius Jackson got some run.

1/11: Celtics win 117-108. No Bradley, Amir, Brown (Jordan Mickey with the start!). This was a king of the 4th game, IT with 20 of his 38 in the 4th. Porter was efficient again, with 20 points on 9/12 shooting. Bradley Beal had 35. Marcus Smart kept Wall in check (9 pts on 4/21) but the effort kept himself in check (9 pts on 3/11, 0/5 from 3). The Celtics played small in the 4th to open space for IT and it worked.

1/24. Wizards win 123-108. C's without Bradley, and Amir could only play 4 minutes on his sore ankle. Beal and Wall go off for 58 on 23/38. Going small didn't help, the C's guards all shot terribly (IT 7/19, Smart 4/13, Rozier 1/6). Markioff Morris somehow ended up with 19 points.

3/20. Celtics win 110-102. Game wasn't this close, Wizards were down 17 for much of the 4th then hit some 3's to go on a 10-2 run, the game largely stayed Celtics +10 the rest of the way. This was the only game where everyone was healthy, so that's good news for the C's, but since it was in Boston you can't take too much out of it. IT was leading scorer with 25 but was 2/10 from 3. Avery Bradley had 20.

On the season, the Wizards were 30-11 at home, 19-22 on the road.

I'm going to say C's in 7.

I don't like that they are starting tomorrow when other teams get several days off. Hopefully Stevens has been watching tape all night. (would be shocked if he didn't)

 But IT is going to be spent. Not only physically from travel, but his emotions are going to flip around, it might be like game one and two of the Chi series. Hopefully the guy sleeps well on planes. Luckily the team stepped up last night and got him some rest and he could leave a few minutes early. They're going to have to do the same again in Sunday.

yes, these might be areas of concern. but at least washington is in a similar situation, clinched last night and plays again on sunday.

does washington have as deep a bench as boston? that might help the celtics if they do not. plus, the celtics deep bench at least got a few minutes of playing time last night. i hope that will knock off some of the rust from sitting.

should be a good series. i predict boston in 6.
