Man, was that Wizards defense horrific. I haven't seen more easy and fast baskets given up in any game. Steve Nash commanded that offense having that quick dribble penetration to get himself in the paint, guys like James Jones and Leandro Barbosa roaming around and an all-around player like Shawn Marion to spare, the only way to beat this guys is to beat them at their own game, which is what the Wizards couldn't do in the first quarter. They missed the first 12 of 15 and only scored 20 points and sadly but true, that was the only bad quarter in the game.

The Wizards did have a run in the 3rd quarter led by Caron Butler, but the refs BS'ed us calling a "foul" on Caron Butler went towards James Jones on a 3 point attempt, but never came close to touching him. It stopped a 9-0 run that cut it under 20, then they called a blocking foul on Arenas, which should've been an obvious charge after setting his feet a mile outside the circle for a minute and Barbosa trying to avoid the contact. The Wizards cut the lead to as close as 13, but never got closer.


BTW, did anybody catch post game live after the game last night? They answered my email! It was the "Will, from Rockville" one. It's like the 4th time they've answered it this season.
