First loss in awhile not hard to accept?

"anything from Barry or Brown"

nah, what really killed us was the Spurs defense allowing 32 pts in the 4th qtr, when the Spurs needed to make up 6 pts in the 4th.

For all the Spurs offensive no-shows last night against the worst defensive team in NBA, the Spurs offense came through awfully damn well in the 4th with 27 pts, more than enough to win, but the Spurs defense disappeared. GAMEOVER.

Six of one or half-dozen of the other. Regardless of our output in the 4th, our 87pts was still 10pts below our average so if our offense had been better, we might have still won with subpar defense. This is pretty glaring especially considering the Wiz are the worst team in the league defensively.

Barry and Brown were terrible.

Washington is simply NOT the worst defensive team in the league.

They are ranked 19th in defensive points per possesion. Much better indicator than pure opponent FG% or opponent PPG.

it was just a bad night...
it might be because we really never got in any scoring mood. refs weren't calling a lot of thing.

i wasn't really disappointed i like washington a lot. especially when larry hughes was playing
