The Wizards lost because the Spurs are a better team. Period.
I think Booker and Temple could have been used in spot minutes just to get guys rest. Once dunan was gone there was no reason to have gortat. He showed all game long he couldn't finish in traffic. He's a soft euro, and that is the cold reality.
Beal being on minute limits still is the real killed. Webster, sans one 3 pointer did very little out there in the 4th and beyond. We were shooting 60+% in the 1st half...was 44% by the end of the game....thats inexcusable. Randy didn't do well in getting the guys motivated in the 3rd and he didn't do a good job in setting up any competent offense at the end of the 4th. He's got them playing good defense, but you can't go very far with a one minded coach.

Come on, TGW, don't you know that the players get all the credit for wins and the coach gets all the blame for losses???
You want to know why the Wiz lost the game? Gambling on D. Wall was freelancing all night and let Mills get wide open threes in regulation. Webster was horrible on D and provided absolutely zilch on offense. People want to look at the overtime periods, but the Wizards would have won it in regulation if they just played tough D instead of gambling all night.
It didn't help that Beal couldn't play in OT. I think we would have won if he was in instead of Webster.
And TGW is right. Spurs is a damn good team, even their scrubs. I have watched plenty games over the last two years when their scrubs have beaten good teams when resting Duncan, Parker and Ginobli.

Nene and Gortat are a good 6-8 years younger and looked like pansies!
Nene esp with his lack of aggression and getting dominated tonight. Just unacceptable.
Wittman had a horrible coaching night. Booker had it going and didn't get minutes down the stretch. He sat Wall too long.
Just an unbelievable game.
I had the Spurs winning the title before the season started and Danny Green and Splitter are big factors.
As long as they avoid OKC, they can win the West.

So far, in this millennium, Duncan has faced the Wizards 27 times. He has won 25 of them, including the last 16 in a row. My guess is that this level of domination is unprecedented. I wonder if any single player in the history of the NBA has beaten another team 16 games in a row and 25 out of 27.

Nivek wrote:One more thought on Duncan and DPOY voting. In 2000 and 2002, Duncan didn't receive a single vote for the award despite anchoring the league's 2nd ranked defense both years. Others getting votes those years: Bo Outlaw, Anthony Mason, and Kendall Gill. For his career, Duncan got about 7% of the possible DPOY voting "points". Duncan never finished higher than third in DPOY voting (he did it twice). According to his ranks in DPOY voting, he's approximately the 8th best defender in the league during his career.
Over the last five years, the following players have received more votes for the award in given seasons: Battier, Bowen, Kobe, Josh Smith, Chris Andersen, Gerald Wallace, Sefalosha, Varejao, Grant Hill, Greg Monroe and Iman Shumpert.

Last time I checked, Pierre Jackson had dropped 40 points or more in several D-League games. That kind of scoring could have helped in a 2 OT game.

I'm glad you said this. Because I can RARELY sell my tickets even if they are listed below market value.
It's ok to complain about the fans where you are there, but if you are not even at the game...shut up!

"That's one of the finest wins i've ever been associated with, and i'm saying that truthfully....I thought Washington was great, they were physical, they executed well, and I thought we were on our heels.
"The Wizards have gone through some tough times and had some battles, but they've gotten it together. Their defense I think is so much better than the past. Sharing the basketball. John Wall being agressive and involving all his teammates. They've come a long damn way and that's why they beat OKC and Portland, and we were fortunate...but they've done a great job and I couldn't be happier for the coaches and those players".
