Be broken and bleeding on the floor?

C - Jermaine vs McGee
PF - BBD vs Blatche - advantage Washington
SF - Green vs Mo Evans - advantage Boston
SG - V.Wafer vs Crawford - advantage Boston
PG - D.West vs J.Wall - advantage Washington

C - Krstic vs Seraphin - advantage Boston
PF - T.Murphy vs Yi - advantage Boston
SF - Pavlovic vs O.Jeffers
SG - Bradley vs L.Owens
PG - Arroyo vs M.Shakur - advantage Boston

The Celtics should win this game. Their bench isn't great but Washington's is miserable.

I think Crawford is substantially better than wafer, and shakur is somewhat better than arroyo. They might not be as familiar names, but they can both really play.

Celtics 6+ minutes without scoring and we can't even blame BBD for shooting too much.

i'm sorry, this is a joke. we are getting fouled at least 30% of the time and getting no calls whatsoever.

16-0 Wash run

geesh

By the way...in case anyone has overlooked this little fact, our bench is terrible.

[PosImpos]

JaVale McGee is such a lousy basketball player ... what a waste of physical gifts.

Hopefully, he puts it together over the next year or two because it's painful to watch him waste away his career.

Jinx?

As if I hadn't noticed over the last two months?

[YouCantHandleTheTruth!]

Is this for real?

I think Crawford is substantially better than wafer...

Yeah, agreed.  Crawford has been a bit inconsistent (which is to be expected), but when he's locked in he's significantly better than Wafer, in my opinion.

Not impressed with Crawford. A volume scorer. Highly inefficient. Shooting just 39.7% from the field, 24% from three, posting a TS% of 47.4%. He is also a very poor defensive player.

Shakur is a very poor third string PG. I liked him coming out of college but he has failed to make any progress since then. Pretty close to writing him altogether. There was a time when I thought he could be a quality third string PG / borderline backup guard but he has failed to come good on that.

Shakur is another ineffective offensive player. Shoots 37% from the field and has a TS% of about 40%. Turnovers galore. He also can't run an offense to save his life. And he is a poor defensive player.

Both Jordan Crawford and Mustafa Shakur do far more damage than good to their team.

We cannot buy a whistle.
