Watch the Wiz Lose a 23-Point Lead

For the record, these games don't count until all the injured guys come back. This is just something we'll all look back and chuckle about after the victory parade down Pennsylvania Avenue.

Once was enough.

I'm really ready to cry at this point. This losing streak has lasted almost 1/10th of the season!

Gilbert says he feels ready to roll in 5...4...3...2...

Did anyone else wonder why Antawn barely touched the ball down the stretch? And why each possession in the last five minutes was a one on one move?

izards lost their W inning W ays.

On a boggier note, an employee at the VC Chipotle looks like Caron Butler. He's been there as long at CB3. He has the same hairstyle and headshape as Caron. I always tell myself he's the "Spanish Caron". I'm always honored when "Spanish Caron" asks if I want mild, medium, or hot.

I am soooo glad I went to sleep after the third quarter. Honestly, I don't want to know.

I loved how they played the first three quarters.

You know, because, as DanB said, our bench now resembles a MASH unit, you have to reason that our rookies and AJ are getting pretty tired. We're getting a lot of tired legs in the fourth quarter and taking a lot of fourth quarter dives.

Wow, it's so cool that we were that far ahead for a while, though. It was pretty play, what I saw. DeShawn! He was great. Mason! Nick! McGuire!

I died a little bit last night.

I hope I never have to see Stephen Jackson again...What an A-hat.

That was tough. Really tough. I thought some of the non-calls were bad, but the Wiz need to find/take better shots on those last few possessions.

Some of those long offensive rebounds grabbed by Golden State were just bad luck.

Songaila just does not look right.

Other things aside, Darius keeps shooting from a couple of feet outside of his range. He's deadly from about 18-19 feet, but anything beyond that, he virtually never makes (and usually it's not even close).

That kind of play sure brings out the most of teams and the warriors play. Win or lose, guys seem to hit their stride against the dubs early while seemingly having fun playing freedom filled ball. Then their eastern conference legs kick in.

I'm trying to figure out why down the stretch when we needed a closer was Nick Young with the ball. Why was Songalia in there as well and what is wrong with this guy. Here lately he has become a liability to the team. All he does is make stupid fouls and misses most or all of his shots. He was under the basket and could not make a lay up. Haywood should have been in the game at the end. When EJ takes Haywood out in the fourth, we lose. What is up with that?? And every time Nick Young loses the ball, he should be fined. He takes off down court before he even has a handle on the ball. To the poster above, I should have done as you did and went to bed at the start of the fourth quarter. Those last two or three games played were all winnable games and were lost by inefficient coaching and sloppy play by the Wiz.
