MY NOTE: I'm taking schadenfreude to a whole new level here. My favorites are in bold. Which are yours?

The tank rolls on

Hope the young guys show out but this is going to be a tough game.

a win here would be a serious step towards securing 11th place

We Will Win!.............................Or not.

The tank has hit a hole but I think it'll get up and moving on Sunday afternoon with a visit to Boston!

The Celtics have played arguably the best basketball in the NBA outside of Phoenix over the last 2 months. Their defense is elite and after a shaky start under rookie HC Ime Udoka, they've found an offensive rhythm led by Tatum and Brown.

The Bullets stand no chance of winning this one and that's a good thing! Let's get this L!

take a shot whenever the broadcast talks about how Tatum and Beal grew up together

C'mon we need this L for the tank.

When did KCP become our Beal

good thing we're not fighting for much huh

Well at least the Wiz kept it close for ~3 minutes

Kutcher for Brown who says no

No ball movement. Boston hustles their a**es off, so credit to them.

KCP vs Brawn is an obvious mismatch.

Dang Rui got cement shoes on today

Crazy we're only down 6 seven minutes into the game, as poorly as we've played defensively.

Marcus smart flops under you. How do you not fall elbows first towards his face.

This Celtics defense has us in he**

Celtics are smothering them.

The Celtics commentators are very good (MY NOTE: I love Mike Gorman but I prefer Drew Gooden on the Wiz broadcast over Scal)

Tatum literally surrounded by Gill, Gafford and Deni, and he went up over all 3 of them anyway.

Can't watch because I'm at work but looks like the Celtics are giving us the business huh

Deni with 3 fouls already.

Refs hate him

One thing is for sure, I will not make my kids be Wizards fans (MY NOTE: Welcome to Celtic Planet)

The referees in this league are the worst I have seen

Tatum makes it look too easy

Tatum kickout. SMFH they really just gifted him that

Tatum looking like he's entering that top 7 conversation into that Kawhi/Lebron tier. Just turned 24 this month.

The NBA refs are a joke and someone has to do something about it..2 out of 3 Deni's so called fouls were nothing. you cant play basketball like that.

Going to be a long game. When Boston is knocking their threes, they're elite.

as if Cs need any more help.. f'ing refs killed momentuem w that tatum 3 foul

Ridiculous. We let Tatum get a dunk because nobody stopped ball. SMH

These role players cannot miss for the Celtics

Ish is basically a short version of jordan

Get Ish off the court, please. (MY NOTE: You're joking, right?)

Today is one of those "you gone learn today" days for the Young Core. That's what these games are for though.

Celtics shots: wide open alley oop dunk Wizards shots: wild acrobatic layup

KP looks like a uncoordinated goof vs Celtics.

I cannot believe we’re only down 12 lol

With Beal we'd be down 20 at least.

As i can see for now, it’s Refs vs Wiz

Jalen Brown back door cut on us 2 plays in a row on KCP and then Sato. Scored both times. SMH

And we are back at KCP vs Brown mismatch.

The starters realized it was time to get back to tanking.

Deni fouls are hurting because he needs to be guarding Brown or Tatum.

Tatum honestly is a hard cover, even for Deni.

Celtics always have the homer ref crew.

Didn't feel like it in any way , shape or form but dropping 37 in the 2nd keeps this lead to only 11 at the half

That's at least twice I seen a player almost strip KP....

Yeah. By whacking KP's arms and praying that the League let it go.

He drew the foul. He might want to keep going at Tatum.

IDK, that last one looked pretty clean to me.

No idea what Deni was thinking there

He isn’t on the court

The game being this close is a testament to how much better the wizards are playing.

I know every team complains about whistles but especially that first quarter I feel like Boston set the standard that they were going to be able to play a highly physical game and foul a lot without getting called whereas the wiz were going to have to work for everything.

The Celtics are a great team but with a more even whistle you've got to believe this would be only a few point game.

the Celts are playing a physical basketball. And the League is allowing it. We should be ready. (MY NOTE: Ime has been preaching the need for more physicality all season)

Rui is apparently in the Witness Protection Program in the 1st half.

Celtics seem to have terrific spacing.

Bullets offense got going in 2nd Luckily the Celtics are getting anything they want. The tank is secured.

It was funny seeing Tatum complain about his foul on Porzingis when he got the exact same call on the other end. Nice that Zingis is still drawing Star calls!

A couple years ago I suggested the Wizards look to acquire Horford and people said he was washed up with Philly. But I think he looks pretty good.

Defense is in shambles. Offense is in shambles. Celtics are playing very well. I hope we continue to fight and stay close.

Classic Wes. No change at all expecting different results.

Rui just clamped up Tatum

Good job Wes! Not sure why you expected different results from the last timeout.

fake comeback time!

I wouldn't care if WUJ got a tech, if I were in this game I'd be getting fined afterwards You can't let one team play physical and call a guard for standing there for a screen the next play

Funny how the Celtics got rid of Theis and Horford and their defense falls apart. Bring them back and they are top 10 again.

The Wizards are playing like a den of cats. They are straying all over the court doing whatever they feel like.

Unseld is a coach who gets set on a rotation no matter if its getting crushed or not.

I hope Wes is the towel boy next season

Ain't much in subs that's gonna stop the bleeding here. Seems like the whole Boston team is getting going. Boston is a legit good team.

Celtics show how basing your offense on the pick and pop instead of the pick and roll improves spacing at the rim and allows open three point shots for your bigs. Wiz should try it.

Tatum and Brown are unbelievable.

Indeed. You get them on fire by playing KCP against that duo... and now good luck to defend them with anyone.

Cs could definitely win it all

7 points to Deni, 7 to Sato, 7 to Kispert, 7 to Gill, 7 to Gafford, 17 to KCP, 17 to Porzingis LOL!

Brown got Deni right there but not much you can do when he's making those.

My hopes for a comeback are starting to fade

We're only down like 28 or something, have some faith brother

No shame losing to one of the best teams in the east, it's a good learning experience for the guys and this is still somehow less ugly than our last loss to Boston lol

D**n, Pritchard hit one in Kispert's face. Rough day but the guys will remember this and form that hate for the Celtics that you need to have to truly be a Wizards player

I don’t ever want to see people blame this teams defense on just one player ever again. We’re getting killed no matter who’s out there on the floor

They are wasting carreer nights on us

Brown throwing up any ol garbage now and it's going in. 35 point deficit

They can't miss

We let them get into a rhythm by not defending well, it's no surprise they don't miss. We're witnessing what level our team needs to get in order to really reach the playoffs.

The tank crowd should be happy.

Udoka you coward, playing regulars in the 4th. Give me Sam Hauser! I demand Malik Fitts!

WUJ is an idiot l. Really. Nothing you can do about Celtics scoring today but you can not let KP and and Rui play so many minutes. You can tell your guys to foul the shoot out of everyone coming near the basket. Double team brown. Etc, etc... It's ok to lose, especially how Boston is playing, but come on

I hope they loose by 60 points. Might the only way our useless FO will institute major changes.
They just need to be infinitely embarrassed!

What has Wes done this entire season? It feels like no one has learned anything from him.

I remember when people thought the Wiz had the better head coach hire compared to the Celtics.

Someone changed Boston Celtics shooting sliders, they keep getting greens.

It's moments like these where you realize that our commentators really have no idea wtf to talk about in these moments On one hand I don't blame them

Getting punked so hard…embarrassing

Boston's White, Pritchard, and White a combined 10-11 from 3 and we have 6 from our whole team. If you add Brown, those 4 are a combined 14-16.

Never want to see the team get spanked this hard, even when you're pro tanking.

A basketball clinic in shooting 3s,
Coordination, spacing and coaching

Star of the game Tomas Satoransky at only -13!

Slow your roll! Both Bryant and Neto were +1. If they'd played more, the Wizards would have won, right?

Who had giving up 52.3% from 3 on 44 attempts on their bingo card?

Worst part about this sorry franchise is we would rather keep Beal's buddies happy during a loss season instead of giving the young guys more opportunities to develop.

We are down 30+ points with 7 mins left in the fourth. Why do we have 4 veterans closing the game? These are valuable minutes and we have our youth on the bench— why exactly? Fire WUJ into the sun

Boston is a good team guys and did what they were supposed to do. I mean, we could argue about shot distribution or whatever but, eh...

The Celtics are a great team and we are not. Expected an L but did not expect this massacre

I didn’t even know this game was on already. And it looks like I’m glad I didn’t.

Uh.... yay Tank?

Hey guys! How'd we--*looks at score* HOLY SH**! HOW DID WE LOSE BY 42?!
