Wizards (13-18) at Celtics (16-17) Game #34 2/28/21

Someone care to explain why we're back to Green over Nesmith in the lineup? Seems it's an arbitrary decision each game which one plays.

Green is always thought of as being in for defensive purposes, which is weird because he's not good at defence.

He’s better than Nesmith. And Beal has been held relatively quiet shooting wise so not sure why people are clamoring to change that.

I’m sure it’s something to do with sabermetrics style statistics on matchups. I feel like that’s how Brad makes most of his lineup and substitution decisions.

otherwise known as the Magic 8 Ball

Would be better if he watched the games.

Here comes the quarter end fold

I was actually hoping Neismith would get the start with JB out.

Westbrook is probably only 75% of what he use to be but that's still pretty impressive.

If he ever learnt to play with moderation he would have been an all-time great. If his shot selection and turnovers, particularly come playoff time, had been under control he would have been unstoppable.

Still an MVP though, and headed for the Hall

Beal has 20 points and no one has to guard Green on the other end.

Half his pts are FTs. Overall, Cs doing a decent job on him.

Bertans having a Gallinari night.

[ozgod]

Let’s get some separation before halftime so we go in feeling good and they go in feeling bad

Kemba looking great

Here comes the quarter end fold

Probably not a bad thing. As we know, this team becomes way worse when they have a big lead

Don't those count as points?

24 now.

That Tatum shot was Birdesque

Kemba looking great

It could be becoming a trend.
