Not much else to say about Thomas. He really has made the leap. Not sure how he did it.

But can we talk about the decline of Amir Johnson? 4 minutes tonight and his place as a starter is basically a formality. Even with Markieff healthy, Smart started the second half. He's always had some games where he moved like an old man, but his positioning was almost always decent. Now he can't do anything on defense and is useless on offense. We could use his size too.

Best game of the year.  Great to watch this team battle through the whole game with many players coming up big.  And no one bigger than IT. Go Celtics.

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 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

i think you may have hit on something.  Wizards played their tails off and they still lost.   they looked rattled and baffled .....like WHAT do we have to do to win. .....I think they are a bit rattled.

If he is useless can we replace him with Mickey?  At least he could give us some athletic minutes and some size.

all Cs have to do is stop spotting them leads and they should have success against this team. The deep bench of the Cs is becoming quite a positive in the playoffs.

Gortat is an OBVIOUS illegal screener....never called for it....moves both feet and uses both hands on his screens.

Amir Johnson should NEVER play for us again.
Larry Bird was Greater than you think.

and what about that Marcus Smart? That rebound he yanked from Gortat was nails, and he played some pretty stellar defense during crunch time.
