Celtics (54-26) at Wizards (42-38) Game #81 4/10/18

Take us home Jaylen Brown!

Jaylen Brown is the best Celtic on the floor, he needs to touch the ball every time down.  Every time.

Gonna be a quick series vs WAS if this score holds up

Of course a losing streak has got to end by facing the Celtics

Shameful effort the last 3 quarters by Boston against a team they are going to see again in round 1.

[jpotter33]

Yeah, I've about had my fill of Semi and Rozier. Just dumb, dumb players.

Brad deserves quite of bit of criticism for wasting Brown's big night, too. You're the coach; when you see your team not getting someone involved who is having the night that Brown is having, then you freaking do something about it. Stop sitting on your hands. It's comical that Brown went two full quarters after the 21 point outburst only shooting twice without Brad doing crap about it. 

[blink]

Rozier's head is just not in the game tonight.  He just struggles with his bbiq at times.  It is frustrating to watch.  He is really talented. 

[Chief]

Should have played Bird.

It is because the Wiz want to play Boston in round 1. They know they can beat them and might be the favorite.

[jpotter33]

Can someone please explain how Boston can avoid the Wiz in round one if they lose this game???

1: They lose tomorrow against Orlando; or

2: All three of Washington, Miami, and Milwaukee win tomorrow (though a Milwaukee win over Philly will set up a second round date with Cleveland, so.....)

After the discussion last night, I was under the impression that if MIL loses and MIA loses, but WAS wins, then WAS will end up in 6th over MIL (they apparently own the tie-breaker) and MIA will be 8th with the worst record.

Is this not correct? Does WAS not own the tie-breaker over MIL?

Ah, you're right. That is also a possibility.

Agreed, hence their obvious tank job by losing these games and trying to pick an undermanned Boston team in Round 1. These frauds will get exposed in the second round guaranteed.

[PAOBoston]

Blow out city

[jpotter33]

Just sit Rozier and Semi down. Absolutely embarrassing themselves out there.

[bknova]

why Terry why. 1 on 3? Why?
