Washington Wizards go on 16-0 run against Celtics.

Normally, I'd associate this with just a bit of over-reaction on the part of a concerned fan, but this team is in serious trouble

  No, it isn't.

I agree.

This team isn't in trouble until someone has us down 3-0, 4th period, with 1 min to play and we're down by 30.

I don't get it.. There still is a little possibility we'd take back the # 2 seed if we tie miami, right? and we still have almost similar records with LA, Dallas and OKC, (i dunno how tiebreakers work with teams on the other conf.) so why is Doc blowing this game? Don't we need to win or at least try to win the last two games? Every game counts on the playoffs, i don't care what everybody else says about HCA not being important. If you want to rest the starters then don't make them go to practice and tell them to sleep til the next game!

I kind of agree with you, although it is good 'practice' for the bench, getting more minutes together. If they do win this, they really should attempt to win the last one, definitely.

Personally I wouldn't worry too much about how our deep bench performs against the Wizards... or anybody for that matter.

If Doc has any sense he'll keep the likes of Avery Bradley, Troy Murphy, Von Wafer and Sasha Pavlovic glued to the bench at all costs.
