Booker - 18 points (7-9 FG) 17 rebounds (8 offensive)
Seraphin - 14 points (7-8) 9 rebounds
Keep in mind, these are Washington's second string Bigs. Yes I love Kobe and yes, I also love this team, but enough with the false diagnosis. This was an epic players and coaching staff fail if I ever saw one. You guys expressing concern over who was and wasn't getting enough touches is ridiculous. One player does do not blow his teams 20 point lead within 5 minutes because the rest weren't getting theirs.
This was a mental collapse from top to bottom. Washington's bench went off and everyone just stood around and watched it unfold.
minor correction from a Wiz fan who was at the game last night.
Book has been a starter since earlier in the season, replacing Blatche.
This is something Wiz fans have rejoiced over ever since then. Wiz fans
would stage a full scale revolt if Blatche became the starter again, barring
a revelatory change by Blatche of biblical proportions, something that
no one is predicting.
All that said, it was mostly the bench and Booker who turned the
game around for the Wizards although Nick has been a starter for
most of the past couple years.
Carry on.
