Horrible blowout losses in Games 3 and 4 after two "feel good wins" at home Games 1-2.

Momentum is clearly on Washington's side, but we still have home court advantage.

We're making Gortat and Morris look like prime Shaq and Duncan, and these horrid starts combined with giving up 20-0 runs and beyond simply WON'T cut it.

So are you still believing? Or are you convinced this team will choke the rest of the way?

MY PREDICTION: Celtics In 7! - I'm believing, but the C's HAVE TO win these games at home. Luckily, they've played the most physical at home against WAS the entire year, and especially this series. I truthfully doubt we're getting a single win at Washington this series either.

Count me as a believer. I was after the first two games with Chicago and I still am.  ;D

If the C's have a bad shooting game in Boston they are done. Highly disappointing to be blown out like this in Washington.

Nope.

John Wall is the best player in this series.

I'm in the boat of they are overachieving and I want them to make some pretty drastic roster moves anyway, so a competitive series is something I'm fine with.  I'd rather move on from Crowder honestly, he has a ton of trade value and he isn't quite good enough.

Unfortunately that's true.

Only way C's can take this is if their bench starts fitting full cylinders next few games.

Our bench should be better than Washington's but last few games, not the case.

Two close games at the Garden and two blowout losses at DC. Wizards got us figured out. Sad to say, but these Wizards aren't the Bulls. Celtics no intensity whatsoever.

I believe Washington will go on at least a 16-0 run in game 5. I believe that Smart and Crowder will continue to suck and I believe Washington is simply the better team and will win in 6. If I.T. doesn't have an historical game the series is 3-1 Washington right now. So unless I.T. can score 50 again in game 5 they are going to lose.

Yep, the bench just isn't scoring on open shots. These two teams have each won every single home game this season.

Lets hope it continues.  ;D

I said Wizards is Seven.  I originally thought this was a good matchup but it is clear their starting 5 is better than ours.

 I'll stick with my original prediction,  where I'm sure I wasn't alone:

Home team wins every game in the series.

yes I originally said Celtics in 7, but i really didn't expect the Wizards to blow us out two games vs our narrow victory in our home games. Going forward, I think give

Jaylen a bit more minutes
cut Marcus Smart's minutes a bit
increase Rozier's minutes a bit
cut Crowder's minutes a bit.
