[DButz65]

Guess i'm the only one watching this one tonight here :laugh:

Halftime score 37-35 Celtics

Wiz are shooting better from 3 point range than 2 point range so far :insane:

[BayouBrave86]

Ugly, ugly game. Only two players in double figures..

[the burgundy and gold]

wow, this place is dead tonight.

[DemSkinz]

Wow nice dunk Caron!!

[mojobo]

EJ needs a new jacket, I keep thinking he's a player out there.

[the burgundy and gold]

now that we're in the bonus, we need to attack the basket hard.

[Sticksboi05]

Pathetic.

Manufactured noise....pathetic...

[KDawg]

Manufactured noise? Where? I've been there. I've never heard manufactured noise at the Garden.

[the burgundy and gold]

my god how many lay ups are we gonna miss tonight?

[HEavyJumbo85]

Pathetic.

Manufactured noise....pathetic...

bush league.

[DButz65]

Wife mad me change some door knobs around the house, i just got done, yeeeesh wtf happened :laugh:

[HEavyJumbo85]

[DButz65]

Ut oh, bucket here and it could get interesting

[DButz65]

[DButz65]

Tie Game!!!! omg over the back

[DButz65]

Buuuuutttllllllllller! We take the lead, w00t!

[mojobo]

if we can overcome all those flops against this celtics team then we really have a team that can be verrrrryyy dangerous

[DButz65]

I hope Butler gets the last word on Peirce

D FENSE!!
D FENSE!!

[DButz65]

[mojobo]

WOOOOO BACK TO BACK Ws AGAINST BOSTON!!!

[BayouBrave86]

We were down 15 I think, 78-63..HELL YEAH! WHAT A WIN BABY!

[TheREALJBird]

Wow, what a game, I am ECSTATIC right now. Butler is a straight baller!!!

[Sticksboi05]

Wow this team has so much potential. We can now play defense when it matters! We have two clutch players in Arenas/Butler and Jamison ain't that bad. We got great bench players. Now we can just hope we can keep it up and hope Arenas is healthy come playoff time.

[ATCRedskin82]

GO WIZ!!!!!!!!!!!


Awesome I just tuned in a few minutes ago and saw we were down 7. I didnt know it was 15!!!!

[KDawg]

Congratulations Wizards fans. Two in a row on us. Very nice! Dangerous team!

[skinfan2k]

Hell you guys look great. Eddie Jordan's defense is working. They are buying into his defense mantra.

[HEavyJumbo85]

Butler is a stud...absolutely doesn't get enough credit...He's a Beast!

[skinfan2k]

this is what the playoffs are about. the wiz should be a dangerous team if they continue to play like this

[Sticksboi05]

Hey!

Nobody forget Stevenson. He has hit countless big 3's. His shot was the one that started it all. He is such an upgrade over Jarvis Hayes. He and Butler did it tonight.


And this guy is freakin' SIXTH in Forward voting....

I'm sorry but fan voting has got to go...in all sports...it is a joke.

[BayouBrave86]

This is exactly like the Capitals beating the best team in the east, Ottawa back to back. Hell yeah!

[ACW]

Whoa, they were down by like 7, I watch wrestling, turn back, they've won 88-83!!! :yikes:

Two straight over Boston :notworthy:

[KDawg]

We need a PG and a Center. Kinda sick of seeing Rondo and Perkins struggle through. Hopefully Webber signs with us. We need him. Travis Best wouldn't hurt either.

[Warhead36]

Caron Butler is my baby daddy.

[skinfan2k]

Boston Three Party- haha

This team is full of choke jobs

['Skins_&_'Stons]

Whoa, they were down by like 7, I watch wrestling, turn back, they've won 88-83!!! :yikes:

Two straight over Boston :notworthy:

:laugh: I did the same thing! I thought it was over, switched over to Family Guy, switched back and we WON! GO 'ZARDS!!!!!!!

[spjunkies]

LOL this room is packed.

[conkev12]

Me 15 minutes ago: Zzzzzzz...this is the SLOWEST game ever. And we're falling apart in the fourth as usual. ****.

Who would've thought things would have come down to the last seconds? It's good to be on the other side of these types of games for once.

Oh, and **** Boston and their artificial crowd noise.

[909997]

meast................

[KDawg]

Still don't know what artificial crowd noise you're referring to. As I said, I've been there and there was no such thing.

Oh well. Good game guys. The Wizards are a very dangerous squad.

[909997]

pierce got pwned by butler

[DButz65]

LOL this room is packed.

Where they been the whole game tho :D It was like 3-4 max until after the game hehehe I cant catch every game but when i can i usually hang here while watching it.

[jtyler42]

Man I'm at work and missed the whole game do they replay the games anymore or is it onDemand or something? I wanna see this!

[CurseReversed]

awesome game, hope this is the start of a huge tear for them!

Go wiz!

[TheREALJBird]

Steve Buchantz and Phil Chenier reported it on CSN while the game was on, I don't think they'd be lying about it

[skinfan2k]

Boston Choke Party!!!!!!!

[skins0128]

Down big in the fourth and rally to win. Great finish by Butler, took the challenge from Pierce and took it to him. Wiz are fun to watch this year.

Glad they have decided to get serious about playing defense. This team is dangerous right now.

[mad4comp]

Hell you guys look great. Eddie Jordan's defense is working. They are buying into his defense mantra.

I somehow doubt that....

if EJ's defensive schemes were implemented tonight, Boston would have scored 120+ points.

But I have to say, I'm really digging this ayers guy.. Great defensive schemes, they are finally covering the perimeter. There was one point in the game, where Allen was wide open and Stevenson was across the court, noticing this, he runs to the other side of the court to cover Allen before Rondo could get the ball to him.. Wiz of old would have just sat there and let Allen take a wide open shot..

well the HC gets credit for bringing him in then. Back to back performances of under 90s to the best team in the east is no easy task.

You realize we WON tonight right??

[LightAgent]

and no fluke either

[JuicyJ]

GO WIZARDS!

25-6 run to seal the deal....Butler is a beast~

[mad4comp]

You realize we WON tonight right??

lemme guess, you stopped reading after the first two lines....right?

:rolleyes:

[abdcskins]

These two games are an excellent sign for the team. Butler is a f****** WARRIOR. Those two drives at the end of the game were spectacular. :yikes:


A sort of non sequitor, I wonder if we would've won these two games with Arenas? I wonder...

Let's keep this going!

I wish I had gone to the sports bar instead of watching the Hoyas at home. I'll definitley make the short trip for the Knicks game tommorow.

[method man]

This is why Caron has become my favorite player over Gil. He gives the team anything it needs.

[GOSKINS_08]

Great win!! Wow, im kind of surprised we beat them 2 times in 3 days!! Go Wizards!!!!

[DoGood28]

We are 76 of 84 from the FT line in the last 3 games.:yikes:

That is 90% over a 3 game span. Sweet. Thanks Dave Hoopla and Brendan Haywood.:notworthy

[TheREALJBird]

lemme guess, you stopped reading after the first two lines....right?

:rolleyes:

Naw read the whole thing, just enjoy the win...instead of taking a jab at EJ or the wizards of old as you say

[RedskinsNation]

mad4comp...change your sig. Wizards are done sucking :)

[Shilsu]

:laugh: I did the same thing! I thought it was over, switched over to Family Guy, switched back and we WON! GO 'ZARDS!!!!!!!

Here's my story.

"Oh man, it'd be nice if the Wizards could win this too. They're down by nine. Sucks."

*knock, knock*

"Pizza's here."

*gets pizza, napkins, and drink*

"What the hell? Wizards are up by one?"

[DraftChrisLong]

and of course the media dosen't give the Wiz any credit, its all about the Celtics arent playing good right now and blah blah blah

[FedexFieldInsider]

That game was ridiculous! I too switched it off when we were down by like 12, flipped it back 3 minutes later and we were only down by like 3 or 4. What an awesome comeback in the 4th.

[Rocky21]

Ok I admit it, I gave up on this one too. I was estatic when the Wiz won here but to take it up there and beat them two games in a row, that is fantastic.

Check this out, from the Boston Globe.
http://www.boston.com/sports/basketball/celtics/articles/2008/01/15/slump_has_caught_them_off_guard/

Ray Allen was 4 of 15 from the field last night and is shooting a career-worst 41.2 percent from the field. The usually reliable Garnett missed five of six shots in the fourth quarter, including a short turnaround with the Celtics trailing by a point late in the game. They blew a 14-point lead in the final 6:22, managing just 6 points the rest of the way, 4 on free throws and the other 2 on a third-chance tip by Garnett.

[RedskinsNation]

Last nights win felt like the win at PHX last year....i dont know just something about it.

It all will be forgotten if we dont win tonight against the NY Bricks. Back to back road games are very difficult to win....regardless who the opponent is. (See PHX vs. us and then PHX vs. Minny back in November).
