How many want Cs to lose to get one extra game in?

From SBNation's Wizards blog comment section:

Celtics just look well prepared for what we like to do.
Coaching matters! We don’t have much.

The Celtics look prepared to play today, especially on def.  Is that Stevens?  Who knows...Probably a bit at least.

WAS bench up 18-4.
WAS TOs 10 vs 4.

Very sloppy game.

It’s playoff Marcus

Celts up just 2 points despite hitting 5 more three than the Wiz, who have hit 0 threes.

Seems like a bad sign.

I would rather us play Philly as well, but I would rather us get into a groove of playing well overall.  If that means we win this game and play well while doing it, bring on the Nets

Marcus chucking got to love it

[slamtheking]

getting 3 happy and not making them.  not a good trend for this team

[BringToughnessBack]

Those 3’s by Smart get me nauseous.

[Phantom255x]

Lol. Ish Smith with 11 points in 9 minutes.

If we played the Nets, I'm sure their BIG 3 would be mediocre but some random 4th stringer would put up 30+ on us

Keep chuckin' those threes! Smart, keep hoisting up those contested early shot clock 3s! That's the way to win this game!

We're taking the bait from the Wizards right now.

They pack the paint and dare you to shoot threes.  Which is what we're doing.

Need to get back to taking shots WE want, not shots THEY want.

Are you sure Smart doesn’t want these shots?

I want them to lose, but that's primarily because I want absolutely no part of a Celtics/Nets series. Just sounds like misery to me. As much as Philly is our rival, they're infinitely more likable than the Nets, and I think there's at least a chance we make it a good series with Philly, as I think they won't be as good in the playoffs. I don't see how we make a competitive series with the Nets given how we've played and no JB.

What an awful quarter so far.  Just winging it on offense.
