He should be honest, we just don't have the roster...

bull, Washington has every bit as much talent as the Pacers.

Washington not being able to eclipse 70 points has nothing to do with the roster, ZIP!

Ummm, no

Their backups are better than our backups at every position.

Clear indictment of our coaching staff.

The Pacers made their adjustment in game two and Washington has yet to find an answer.

I very much doubt that's going to change in game four.

Washington is done, I have no faith that this staff will get the Wizards ready to compete.

Here is a coaching staff error: "John Wall must push the ball."

Result: Hero ball plus four spectators.

The Wizards should have played small, like Atlanta. They needed to space the floor and to keep swinging the ball on the wings. Ariza should have been the go to, not Beal. Webster for Beal and Gooden for Nene in the third would have helped.

Has that Beal/Nene high pick and roll rendered even one positive result tonight?

Absolutely embarrassing, this team was not ready for tonight.

Our total bench points: 8
That includes a mercy 3 by Garrett Temple in garbage time.

I predicted this series Pacers in 7 from the beginning... and I'm sticking with that for my prediction. I think we can still win a game or two in this series... Game 4 is obviously a must win if we want to still have a shot at the series. All in all this will most likely be a learning experience for Wall and Beal and the future. And the first of many playoff experiences to come.

Lady Gaga fans must have put a curse on the Wiz. You know they are celebrating tonight.

True. If it were any other team than the Pacers the series might as well be over already, but they've been anything but consistent. Hopefully this embarrassment doesn't give them the chip they need to shake that, but they'll need to prove it.

Thankfully they don't total the points cumulatively for the series and losing by 20 is the same as losing by 2.

Time for Wall to whip the others in shape (maybe shaving off that Tom Hanks in the Ladykiller's beard would help?) - starting with Free Throws...

The only good thing about this game is that they have been knocked back down to underdogs. You could tell they were feeling themselves and thought they were the best thing since sliced bread. Beal thought he was Wade level and we thought we were the best team. Now they have been humbled. Witt too. You know he thought he was the ish. Now he's getting outcoached like everyone predicted. Just got to regroup. 1pt or 20, its just 1 loss.

The scary thing is we suck at home all year and we tend to suck after Wall basically loses a game for us like he did last game. Hopefully Wall gets it going or we get our mojo back anyways next game

We've surpassed the pacers as the laughing stock of the playoffs. I've never been more ashamed.

Wall didn't even push the ball all that much. He forced it a few times when Washington was hopelessly behind.

The real issue is that Washington seemingly had one play in the half court all night. High pick and roll between Beal and Nene.

There was zero ball movement, no side to side passes, no kick and drive, no attempts to establish a post presence. No cuts to the basket, absolutely awful offense all around.

**** amateur hour.

I cannot wait to see how the Wizards veteran players respond. If they lay an egg like tonight in Game 4, then Ernie and his oldies can get the hell out of here. Too soft.

Okay. I will be the Candide of these boards.

Wizards in 6.

I agree with one half of this. Series isn't over. But I don't think they're favorites anymore. I could see this series going either way at this point. If they are still favorites, I'm not sure they should be. I seriously hope they aren't. And I don't want this team to feel like they are favorites. I think the best chance we have of coming back to win this is if the media says this thing is over.

This team needs a leader. For all the talk of vets, there isn't anybody who I would call "the heart and soul" of this team. This was a game where you need that kind of guy. And if you don't have that guy, it has to come from the coach but we don't have that either.

Maybe between now and Sunday somebody steps up to do that and makes sure these guys are ready to play in game four. Or at least convince them to not go out looking like little kids playing their older brother.
