It's all good.

Four OT losses.

We need both the X's and O's plus the talent to execute.

Only 95 points in an OT game.

Thanks, Ernie Grunfeld. Nobody builds a team like you. Singleton, Vesely …

Tonight, Seraphin pulled a Jan/Fabricio Oberto: 5 fouls, 4 points, 5 rebounds.

True, that's not his strength. Have to consider the opponent. ONe of the best defensive teams in the league against one of the worst offensive teams.

Of course you do.

Yea, about that...

Very entertaining lose.

And what about BBB and BBC

Both really showed something out there tonight.

Barron need to start over Okafor who sucks as a starter. I don't mind him off the bench.

Crawford played a great PG game. Start passing a lot then picked up the points as the game went on. And 11 rebounds and only 1 turnover

Missed FTs. A couple plays by DeShawn Stevenson late. Josh Smith blocking shots -- They won because they've got players who make plays at both ends.

The Wizards had Crawford with a triple double and Barron battling, but that is not enough.

And several blown calls by the refs.

Nene was clobbered in the head.
Crawford was fouled by scored anyway. Should have been an and 1

There are 3 possible points right there.

Barron isn't better than Singleton, Okafor or Seraphin but he outhustled those guys tonight and earned minutes. I don't get Seraphin. He shows no regard for defense or the boards and it looks like he sulks when he's not scoring. He wants to be like Nene, but he's nothing like him. Singelton just looks out of his element at the 4 but he doesn't have the offensive game to play the 3. Unfortunately, looks like the ultimate tweener.

We know Crawford is capable of those games. Its just a shame no one else is except Wall.

Beal has the talent but he's a few years away from that yet.

Well, at least Seraphin cut that hair.

Great game for Crawford to improve his trade value.

The bald Seraphin isn't any good. He was having a bad year with the hair but the bald guy is terrible.

I think Brad thought he was Dwyane Wade on that dunk attempt over Josh Smith. He's not Wade and will never be Wade or Ray Allen, but he is getting better. He's geting bolder, which is so important. The first five games of the season he wanted no part of the ball. He just has to get a little bigger and stronger and just continue to work on his offensive moves.

What would be nice would be Price backing up Crawford at PG. Which is what we should have had to start the season. Those starting line ups would not have sucked like they did.

What bother me is that Crawford should have been playing back up PG all last year. He would have been so much better developed as a player if he got more PT there. He would have learned to be more efficient and would have been prepared to start this year. There would have been no Pargo to start the year. No Price as the starting PG. Total waste. Beal would have developed faster and better with a more experience Crawford PG out there. They looked really good together to start the game.

Livingston seems to have nothing left in the tank. Another game that he hasn't hit an outside shot and two lazy terrible turnovers. If Crawford was the starter with Price backing him up, they could have keep Mack as the third PG and he would be backing up Crawford right now.

Ifs and but.. right.

This lose was a great tank lose.

M1 Abrams baby!! Best tank ever!!

After Beal hit his head I think he forgot how to shoot.

bradley beal started off slow at Florida last year and then really caught on 2nd half of the season as he adjusted to new competition. He will do the same this year. Remember, he would be a Soph in college right now. i bet in 3 years...he will be a top sg in the league
