Brutal loss tonight for our home town Wizards.
It was like a Greek tragedy: the guy with the triple double, Gilbert Arenas, missed two free throws - for the second game in a row - that could have won the game. Missed free throws and turnovers really hurt Washington.
And this team still stinks on defense. The Wizards only have one real defender, Brendan Haywood. He had 5 blocks and is the only guy who rotates. Jamison and Blatche and Butler need to keep their men from driving to the rack with regularity.
It was fun to watch Hansbrough. He finished with 19 points in 25 minutes, and played the entire fourth quarter. Down the stretch it was like a Carolina game as Hansbrough scored 11 points in the final stanza, and 7 of the Pacers' last 11 points in the final 3 minutes.
And they were running plays for him, too, plays that resulted in 2 lay-ups and one dunk. Finally, in the last 3 minutes there were two classic Psycho T plays were he simply wanted the ball - once on an offensive rebound, and once on a lose ball - more than the other 9 guys on the floor.
This game was Hansbrough's third straight with double-figures. He's coming on.

Deshawn Stevenson is awful. The Wizards have good pieces that just don't fit together; they need either a true PG who can defend and distribute (easier said than done), or a 2 who can fill it up, so that they just try to out-score people. Stevenson is a waste of tattoos and space. Foye or Young need to just split his minutes. And Arenas is a classic good player for bad teams who can't carry a good team. A great player makes FTs with games on the line, he's failed in two straight games like that. Washington has some tweaks to make if it wants to make the playoffs.
To paraphrase Tim Hardaway: he doesn't got skills.
I don't know why Stevenson started - over Nick Young, who had a nice second half - or was guarding the taller Mike Dunleavy on the last play of the game.
