You want a good laugh, read the comments on the Wiz blog  : http://www.bulletsforever.com/2017/5/2/15514954/wizards-at-celtics-game-2-second-half-gamethread-washington-leads-67-64

So who starts next game? We have to start one of Smart or Brown right? Hopefully Brown, because he's really stepped it up and provides more size, allowing Smart and Rozier and the bench to continue dominating their bench.

It's actually very funny reading celticsblog comments during the game and then wizards blog comments afterwards. This thread was basically 82 pages of complaining about the refs, Gortat's moving screens, and the announcers hating the celtics. When you go and read the wizards blog? Its the exact same thing. Pages of comments about Horfords moving screens, terrible calls, and the announcers infatuation with the celtics. Perception is key.

I didn't perceive any anti-Celtic bias from Greg Anthony or Ian Eagle.

Eagle is one of the best, if not the best play-by-play guys in the business.  Anthony was actually talking about how the Wizards seemed to back down and play more tentative as the game got more physical in both games 1 and 2, and correctly noticed that the C's played with more energy/seemed less fatigued in overtime.

I still am unsure how Morris was in the game after throwing Al out of bounds.

Wiz players flopped like a fish tonight

Can the league office hit him with a flagrant after the game. That was a really thuggish move by Morris.

I cracked open a brand new bottle of good bourbon because of IT's heroics.

What a sensational performance. Truly epic.

A game for the ages.

On Chyna's birthday, nobody could be prouder of Isaiah than everyone is tonight. Regardless of his detractors, the kid is special. His will, determination, character, are second to none.

There is now an empty bottle of red next to me..saved enough for one last glass..sleep not happening for awhile!

Neither did I, but there were a lot of comments about the announcers from other posters.

Now that I've cooled off a little but, some analysis. Beal looked rattled by the physicality of the game. If he's a non-factor (or even less of a factor than expected) going forward, this series is over.

IT and tito's son at the podium now!!!!!!!!!!!1

I understand this series is far from over, but all things considered, I think this may be the proudest I've ever felt to be a Celtics fan.  And I sincerely mean that.

I'm not ready to say this series is over, but this win certainly got into their head, and had to make them question themselves. They must be asking themselves, "are we equipped to beat that team"

Yeah I was here for almost the entire thread.  I never understood it really.

My only complaint was bad officiating on both teams.  But that's standard these days in the NBA.

Perfectly said! TP!

[Somebody]

Give him the 4 year super max extension this summer!

yeah far from over. we just need a split at DC but.................i think we are in their heads.  if we can limit wall better this game is not even close. we need to break out the handcuffs nexct game and make the WHIZZ doubt themselves

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

if we play smarter and limit wall to 25 instead of 40 we rout them. let that sink in. of course they may be saying that about IT! LOL
