wizards should start Seraphin, they were so much better with him in the game.
TP sir! hope that we could finally start a streak
Yep, when I made the thread he was listed as out but it was a mistake because he's not on the list now.wizards should start Seraphin, they were so much better with him in the game.
Kevin Seraphin (calf) out
He's listed as out, but that's probably a mistake.
The storm is messing with my satellite and thus league pass. Internet is working though. Anyone know where I can find a live stream of this game?
Thanks!

First row sports..using it right now
Brutal and embarrassing. So glad I could not make it tonight and had to give away my tickets.
There are a lot of new bodies on this team. Its going to take a while to get in sync. Even before the season started I figured the first 10 games were gonna be mediocre and bumpy.
I'm just following the updates online. Is the effort really bad, or are they just out of sync?
i am starting to doubt my self.
is it possible that as Celtics fans we see everything in green and think our team is so awesome when it really sucks??? ???

The team doesn't suck. We've had crappy regular season effort before but we always make a run when it counts.
But we kinda suck so far this year, that's for sure.
Thank you MR Terry!!
Good to see Wilcox getting a few points on the board too.

Bumpy, yes. But without Wall and Nene, the Wizards are the worst team in the league. This type of performance is inexcusable.
Each game, the Jeff Green contract looks worse. The guy appears to be afraid of his own shadow.

So far. I'll give the guy some time off of heart surgery. Wilcox does looks ready to bang though.
I give em (some) props - no chemistry or rhythm tonight but they are absolutely scrapping and scratching right now.
Currently, this team is absolute garbage. Already sick of hearing about all the new guys excuse. Four of the starting 5 started last year.

Awesome. Scrapping to eek out a home win against the worst team in the league.
The bold is where I completely agree.Currently, this team is absolute garbage. Already sick of hearing about all the new guys excuse. Four of the starting 5 started last year.
Those 4 guys are the only rotation hold overs from last season when things were clicking. It will take time to get the chemistry right. Nonetheless, there is no excuse for not bringing the effort.
WE WANT SMITH
WE WANT SMITH
Is it just me, or does Bass look bigger and slower this year? He looked almost as slow as Sullinger on those defensive rotations just then. I don't think even Darko would have been much slower than that!
I'm starting to wonder if maybe Boston have too much talent to the point where nobody really gets what they are supposed to be doing...
Maybe we'd actually be better off if we had Terry, Green and a bunch of scrap players on our bench (Marquis, Sully, Darko). At least that way Terry and Green understand that their job is to score, and everbody else knows their job is simply to defend and rebound.
Now we have Terry, Barbosa, Green, Bass coming off the bench - all are scorers, and it seems like they are all just deferring because each of those guys knows the other is a capable scorer.
You've got to be kidding meYou know how they say on TNT games,Doc always draws good plays coming out of TO.
Nice play Doc

Maybe...I don't even know my role watching on the couch.
Why do we always make nobodies like Singleton look like All Star starters?I don't even know myself. I promise this team can make the worst team look amazing and the players no one knows about look like one of the best players in the league.
Bass is far better than green
Bass, Rondo and KG have been fairly consistent through 4 games. Can they renegotiate Green's contract?

They can renegotiate it for Josh Smith :)

What is everybody's love affair with josh smith? I'll never understand. People on this blog act like he's some kind of savior, been seeing his name for 2 years now. The guy is a tweener who relies on his athleticism and has a very undisciplined shot selection...

Defense and rebounding. He is elite at both. His offense comes and goes, but he is a 15PPG player.
the only elite about him is his salary. do you see him playing the same level as d. howard, chandler, kevin love in terms of defense and rebounding all year round? for me that is how you define elite, he is just not that consistent to be called elite. for his age still immature as a player.this. i really don't understand the great need for this player. no go to move and attempts a lot of head scratching shot. we can get the same hustle or more from chris wilcox if healthy.QuoteBut I believe they are restricted in terms of trading Green

Not a great game by Green, but I still don't get the hate. Six points and two rebounds are not a lot, but compared to Lee he was almost spectacular.
Yeah, I mean green played alright but lee is trade-worthyNot a great game by Green, but I still don't get the hate. Six points and two rebounds are not a lot, but compared to Lee he was almost spectacular.
I will agree with that part...Lee has been 100% flop, and the way he's playing now I'd stuggle to justify paying him the Vet min.
still not sold that he is an elite player both on defense and offense, if given a choice i'd pick horford over him any day.

1. Smith creates nowhere near as much mental drama as Howard does, and Howard's only offensive move is "dunk". He also doesn't average 5 fouls a game (like Dwight is for L.A. right now) which means he will actually be in the game when you need him.
2. Smith is not far off Chandler defensively - Atlanta have been a pretty solid defensive team in recent times, and if you think that's because of Joe Johnson and Teague think again. Offensively he is so much better than Chandler that it's not even funny. Chandler is a poor man's Dwight on offense - catch, dunk. That's it.
3. Kevin Love is no better offensivley than Josh Smith is and can't play defense to save his life.
Smith is an ELITE defensive player, an exceptional rebounder and one of the best passing big men in the game. He has elite athleticism. He can score inside/out and has range out to the three point line. He absolutely is not the most efficient offensive player in the NBA, but he's still a very capable scorer.
