Celtics (33-9) at Wizards (12-29) 1/22

[Who]

The lack of development from JaVale McGee has been very disappointing.

Especially on the defensive end. Poor positioning in help defense. Doesn't fight for position. Lets his opponent do whatever they want.

Timid player. Dumb player.

The Celtics are letting up in intensity with most of the starters back in. The shooting is not as sharp. The defense is still decent but not dominating. The lead has slipped to Eight causing Doc to call Time out.

C's could push the lead to 20 by halftime with a little more focus -- that and hit their FTs.

I don't think Blatche is going to make the full game. seems destined to be tossed before the end.

wizards are horrible. boston needs to stop toying with them and knock them out

completely agree that C's are the superior team and should be putting them away right now but Washington has enough shooters that if they can hang around until the end, they could pull off an upset

I dont need a big slam to let me know KG's back.  I can tell by his movement and intensity that hes fine.

not a fan of BBD in the post.  too likely to get blocked.  the one positive is that Lewis picked up his 3rd

[greg683x]

well theres a big slam anyway 

[slamtheking]

I'm hopin for that monster slam from KG that tells us he's really back

well there you go!!

How is Washington within single digits?

This has been one of the worst performances (Washington) I have seen from a team all season. Disgraceful defense, weak willed rebounding and hit and hope offensive play.

They're gifting the Celtics opening after opening after opening ... this should be a blowout.

He's not scared of contact. He'll get a foul called there more often than not.

HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE'S BACK!!!!

Finally a dunk again

[Who]

Just looking at the scores elsewhere ...

No Wade and no Bosh for Miami. They are starting LeBron at PF alongside Mike Miller, James Jones, Mario Chalmers and Big Z. They are up by 20 against the Raptors.

Fun lineup, lots of shooters for LeBron to utilize. Very difficult for a defensively challenged team like Toronto to defend against a lineup like that.

Wizards hang in there with a 10 point deficit. True that the Celtics throttled back but they are playing just well enough to maintain the 10 point lead. I can't think of anything that stands out worth mentioning - Pierce has 3 fouls and Andre Blatche lost his poise. Other than that I would say uneventful.

[greg683x]

watching KG getting into Blatches head is more entertaining than the game itself.
