Denver's been playing pretty well as of late. Within the last week or so they beat the Clippers and the Heat. I think Seraphin should have gotten some burn in this game. I remember last year in Denver Seraphin really put a number on Faried. Washington had a great 4th quarter comeback against the Nugget's in Denver last season.

I have no idea why Wittman has parked Seraphin on the bench, when he had been playing so well pre-injury. Is he still hurt and they're not telling anyone?

Ridiculous.
The Denver loss wasn't anywhere near the worst loss of the season. Heck, I'm not even sure we were favored to win the game. Denver is always a tough home team, and they're a solid team when Lawson plays. After a quick glance at the numbers and I note that Denver is 17-10 at home when Lawson plays. They're 28-28 overall with Lawson - that's slightly better than us once you account for strength of schedule. So we just lost a road game in high altitude to a team that is slightly better than us when Lawson is healthy. This is hardly "unforgivable".
We've had about ten worse games than this. Every home loss to a sub-.500 team was worse than this. Every road loss to Milwaukee, Detroit, Cleveland, Orlando, Boston, New York or Philly was worse than this.
crazy talk. No way we should of lost to an injury ridden Denver team with nothing to play for especially after so many games where they talk about not losing to "inferior teams" anymore. After the Sacramento game....how dare they come back and do it again.
Terrible loss..worst of the season by far

For what it's worth, I had Denver favored in this one, albeit by a slim margin. The Wizards are a little better this season, but the Nuggets had home court advantage.

Vegas had the Nuggets anywhere from a 1 point to 2 point favorite.

That 75-74 loss at home to Denver was by far the worst loss I have seen in a while. That Bucks loss at home in OT was not much better.
