Let's go undefeated in 2012.

Win, because we can't be as bad as the Wizards.

[OilCanCoulter]

Heading downtown in a bit for some drinks prior to tip off. Any other DC SOSHers heading to the phonebooth for this one?

[Lazy vs Crazy]

New Wiz unis are mad swank.

They just need to change the team name.

[Nomar813]

Lewis and Young might be the most individually one-dimensional swingman pair in the league.

[Sprowl]

Rondo has a fine two-man game with each of Pierce and Garnett, and he makes them better players. It's great to watch a playmaker whose instincts really are to pass first.

[ishmael]

Rebounding looking better early on tonight.

[Sprowl]

The Avery Bradley train wreck grinds on.

[Greenwell982]

I thought I read Bradley was losing his minutes to Moore?

[Nomar813]

Stiemsma looks good again.

[Mike in CT]

Another block for Steimsma.

Yes, A. Sherrod tweeted that Doc said Moore had moved past Bradley. Maybe this is his one last chance. If so, he's already blown it.

[Lazy vs Crazy]

Bradley needs to be cut.

Sign Gilbert Arenas. At least it will be entertaining.

[Nomar813]

Nice box out by Bass.

[bloodysox]

Hey look Bradley actually hit a shot

[ishmael]

Three quick fouls for Bradley, although the refs bailed out Wall on that last one.

[Nomar813]

Jermaine has actually been fairly effective working in the post offensively.

[ishmael]

Absolutely brutal call against O'Neal. The ref (who was blocked) assumed that he was pushing off with his right arm. Cost the C's two FTs.

[Sheets]

Rondo is just fun to watch.

Too bad JO couldnt finish that play w/o a foul.

[ishmael]

And JO immediately picks up his third foul. Ugh.

[JakeRae]

That was a hilariously ugly sequence of events. Steimsma's block looked pretty clean to me though.

[ishmael]

Wizards offense looks like it's run by Avery Bradley.

Steimsma again providing the weakside D. That block/foul was big time.

[Nomar813]

Oy vey Bass, gotta have better ball awareness than that.

And Stiemsma's block looked clean on replay.

[JakeRae]

Steimsma is a beast.

[Mike in CT]

Dunk by Steimsma.
Block by Steimsma.

The guy is going to carve out a nice little career in this league.

[ishmael]

When Rondo is not on the floor, the offense is an absolute mess. This should be a 20 point lead right now.

[Nomar813]

We haven't seen enough of Stiemsma to suss out the suck, but I'm not understanding why he hasn't gotten a legitimate chance before. He's a seven-footer who can block shots, looks competent defensively, and is active on both ends of the floor. Meanwhile, Shelden Williams keeps getting work.

He knocked on the door with a couple cup-of-coffee contracts before.

Then he signed with a team in Turkey for 2 years, which I assume meant he had to stay there.

This year he had a great Pan-Am games, was free from Turkey, and has now found a place in the league (presumably) longer term.

He's simply a better player now than the last time NBA teams had access to him.

[JakeRae]

Not gonna see Rondo posting up too often but he looked good on that shot.

[Sprowl]

Jermaine has no spring left in his legs. He's getting out-jumped, stuffed, and generally left behind in gravity's embrace.

[Nomar813]

Paul's fatigue is starting to show. They need to get him a breather here.

[Sprowl]

Is Chris Wilcox injured? Dead? Or just hopelessly bad?

[Greg29fan]

Injured, he bruised his shoulder in the Miami game and didn't make the trip.

[deconstruction]

Beautiful look-away by Rondo on that break.

[Nomar813]

Worth repeating.

[Sprowl]

Thanks -- Stiemsma has been a pleasant surprise, but it would have been a pity to think that the offseason's primary big man signing had fallen off the depth chart faster than Avery Bradley.

He's probably going to come back tomorrow.

[Sprowl]

It's a Trap










Defense.

[Nomar813]

Stiemsma with 18-foot range!

[Rudy Pemberton]

thought moore was getting bradley's minutes?

[Sprowl]

Stiemsma's release is smooth, but he forgot to stand up and jump on that jump shot.

[JakeRae]

Time to get Rondo back out there.

[Nomar813]

If the Celtics were the Sandra Bullock bus, taking Rondo out of the game would result in immediate explosive carnage.

[Sprowl]

Dazzling Rondo!

[JakeRae]

Rondo is +24 on the day.

[JakeRae]

That's a foul. Losing possession prior to the foul doesn't mean he didn't get fouled.

[Greg29fan]

Boston Globetrotters

[Nomar813]

Fun off-topic NBA fact: Steve Francis was DeMarcus Cousins' favorite player. It takes some pretty hefty balls to demand a trade 85 games into your career while receiving playing time.

[JakeRae]

Rondo trip-dub!

[Greg29fan]

triple double for Rajon

[FelixMantilla]

Rondo has been amazing. Keeps getting better each year.
