On Sunday and Monday nights, Celtics fans were treated to a crisp back-to-back of games ending in the total embarrassment of a wildly inferior opponent. The first of which saw the Wizards—who have won fewer games at their home Capital One Arena this season than the NC State Wolfpack did on their way to win the ACC Tournament—trot out a squad of players so horrible that the Celtics probably could have rested half their team and come away with a comfortable victory.
Oh wait, they did do that! Celtics mainstays Derrick White, Jaylen Brown, and Kristaps Porzingis all sat out with smiles plastered on their faces as Jayson Tatum and Sam Hauser combined for 60 points in front of a “Wizards” crowd that gave the former MVP chants and the latter a standing ovation.
