Couple pregame notes:

• Rajon Rondo will not play for the Celtics today. Avery Bradley will start in his place.
• Flip Saunders was asked again about the booing of Andray Blatche. He said he told him he's in a "situation where you've lost some trust with the fans," and added that he'll get that trust back by "doing the little things."
  
• More Flip: "Sometimes, you're in quicksand where the harder you try, the more you fall. I think that's where he is a little bit. Sometimes, it's better to settle down and do the little things: play hard, rebound. As a team, we can help too. Winning cures a lot of those things."
• Saunders also said he's not going to play Blatche off the bench just because the fans are booing him. "He's a big boy. He can deal with it." Later, he added that "we're not going to make a decision on whether he starts or not based on fan reaction."

GO WIZARDS!
