I feel terrible after this loss, more so than I can recall in recent memory (Excluding the Finals). We have been exposed on our weak points, which were noticeable in previous weeks, but they are now blantant. These weaknesses are taking bad shots, settling for those bad shots, and finishing off games. Rebounding can also be addressed as a weakness, but Howard is such a monster that he masks the poor rebounding as a team. I never thought a team like the Wizards would embarrass us AGAIN, ON OUR OWN FLOOR.
Addressing these weaknesses will not change overnight as the team claims. A trade may eventually work if it is made soon, and I hope to god this loss opens Otis' eyes, but the team obviously has no shame.
BTW- Caron Butler's name has officially been added to the dreadful "Magic Killers" list. He was unconscious in the 2nd half tonight.
Don't sweat the petty stuff, and don't pet the sweaty stuff
Butler is not having his best season, but man it does hurt that he probably had his best game this year against us.

I am upset that we still put the ball on VC's hands in the last 2 minutes.

What can I say? Don't we always blow leads. Its predictable and we've been doing this since I became a fan in 03.
