Washington at San Antonio.

Wizards looking for their first win over San Antonio since 2005. A stretch of 11 games.

I don't know if I've ever seen such poor P&R defense as the Wizards are playing today so far. And that's saying something.

Look at Blatche taking it to the hole now that the Wiz are on the road and no one cares enough to boo him.

The Spurs know how to take advantage of dumb teams. This won't be pretty.

Dray has been playing the p&r defense way better than any of our bigs. He just forced Parker way out when McGee was letting him do whatever he wanted.

Witt started off by going inside but Book struggled and isnt a great pure scorer. I would like to see Dray now get some of those same touches, espically on the road

Blatche can't clear a DC phone book.

Dray settling for the J when he has red head one on one on the block. Then why are we by far the worst team in the league at taking away people's strong hands? Just letting Ginobli go left at well. No permiter D at all and the bigs are too slow or dumb to come over to help.

Years & Years of watchign the same crap. Even when we were solid with the big 3, we still were like this on defense. How can pros be like that

Can the Spurs fans start booing Blatche? It'd be really nice if he stopped taking contested shots and looked to pass more everywhere, not just at the Verizon Center.

When they review the tape, they should just watch the Spurs on a loop.

An utterly ridiculous quarter of basketball. Everyone on the Wizards, save Blatche, has looked JV playing the Varsity.

TWENTY SIX POINTS IN THE PAINT IN ONE QUARTER. I think the 50 year old assistant coaches who provide jogging, token resistance in practice drills play the pick and roll better than that.

Blatche has been pretty good so far. Other than that, a compete joke all the way around. John Wall should stop giving interviews about how tough it is to play with such awful teammates. Tony Parker is taking his manhood so far tonight.

Dray was never an athelete but he looks so fat, slow, out of shape, and pathetic. No way you can reach your max potential in that type of shape. Normaly I would give a guy the benefit of doubt just coming back from a long injury but this is 2 years straight he's been in that shape. Pitiful. No pride

Time to turn this off. 80% of the Spurs points in the point, absurd.

I don't know what Blatche you're watching but he's being abused in the paint on defense and so far is 0/3 shooting the ball with a +/- of -16 (ie: worst on the team).

110pts to the Blazers, 41 in the 1st quarter against GS, and 51 now with more than 7min left in the 2nd vs SA. How can your D be that bad? Its impossible. Have some pride
