So? They are still 30-5. I am sure the Wizards will be pounded in Boston on Monday. The Celts were due for a road loss any way after winning 10 straight on the road.
85-78
they couldn't grab the boards.
49-30 in Washington's way
just have to wait for another Boston loss tonight.

However this game shows how important it is for them to get another point guard. Rondo was out with a bad back meaning Tony Allen started. Boston had a rash of turnovers caused by sloppy ball handling and bad passing. I don't know what Ainge is waiting for when Damon Stoudemire and Sam Cassell are there for the taking.
Wizards are way better defensively and as a team without Arenas.
Agent 0 is worth little more than 0
Boston is showing signs of getting tired legs....I can see it.
Yeah but without him they have no chance of getting far in the playoffs. At best they are a second round nuisance that Detroit or Boston will take out in 5. On this game tonight I think Rivers cost them with subing KG out in the 3rd. They were up by 9 with like 3 minutes left in the 3rd. I think he should kept KG in the game to finish the quarter. When he sat out the Wizards went on a 14-6 run I believe. At least leave him in to finish the final 3 minutes of the period. He might have been able to push the lead up 10 or more.
They were bound to lose a back to back sometime. Besides you know better then that. In the playoffs there are no back to backs. BTW the Pistons get away with one tonight. They barely beat a Bobcats team with no Raymond Felton. How about thier legs?
I doubt they would have beat the Celtics tonight with Arenas, because they would have played defense.
But I agree they need one more big player to advance in the playoffs. But arenas is not the answer. they have failed again and again with Arenas.
They need to trade arenas, even for someone worth less $
Or let him walk at the end of the season and sign another star FA.
I think they will likely wait to the offseason when he is a free agent. I get the feeling we have seen the last of Agent 0 in Washington if the team keeps playing this well and makes some noise in the playoffs. Plus with him coming off the cap they can try for Luol Deng,Ben Gordon or Elton Brand.
celtics suck. give the ship to portland.
Look at the records of the other teams in the East. I bet they wish they can suck like Boston.
It happens they had a tough game last night in New Jersey and the Wizards got the lucky bounces at home. I am sure the Celts will trounce them Monday at Boston.
The Celtics were due to come back down to earth. They are still one of the best teams in the NBA, but they are not beating 72-10. Their big 3 are all over 30, the smart move by Doc would be to prepare his guys for a big push as the playoffs come near instead of wearing them out in January.
I agree with that. I think the expectations for them was out of control. I think they are a great team and will more then likely be in the Finals. I agree that Doc should limit their minutes but that depends on game situations. Besides alot of teams sort of dog it in January when the newness of the season wears off. In tonight's game you saw the effect of a b2b had on the big 3. They had a tough one last night vs the Nets and it showed tonight.
Why the is every victory over the Celtics dismissed as a bad night by them, but when other elite team has "bad" nights suddenly they have huge holes and everyone is up in arms. Why don't we just crown the Celtics now.
That's really a good point. My guess is because we really don't know what they're capable of. In my case I haven't seen them enough, nor do I run to the net to see what they've done every game like I will with the western teams. So I just shut up until I can get a read on their team.
You saw them 2 times vs the Lakers.
2 times in the regular season is enough you think?
10-0 vs West
They're good! I will say that but they seem to be playing on a higher level than the rest of the league. Could be that they're better than the rest but it could also mean that teams have not matched their intensity so far. I have to see them in the playoffs where teams can make adjustments. Then you can see what they're made of.
Yeah but in the East the only team that can test them is Detroit. Charlotte,Atlanta et cetera are not really a thought.
boston is still happy detroit gave away Nazr
i cant wait until arenas comes back and they start losing.....
That's true but their weakness, if any would be exploited in the playoffs.
