Seems to me there's plenty of blame to go around for this game. John Gage ofer from beyond the arc. Stefan Nastic one for six in the lane. Chasson Randle four of nine on free throws.

If those of you who were watching can't guess, we lost to a wholly inept Washington team, 64-60. Randle missed a free throw with 49.6 seconds to go, missed a short one in the lane with 18.5 seconds to go, and was called for charging while trying to feed Powell under the basket while driving the lane -- all of which occurred with Washington leading just 62-60. He also missed a running 26-footer at the buzzer, though it was a tough shot and wouldn't have affected the outcome anyway.

You forgot the two turnovers [one by Powell; one by Randle] in the last 60 or so seconds to go along with the Randle charge.

But, really, was this outcome a surprise, or was it the same old same old? 

Seems to me it was the latter, last week's game against K.al notwithstanding.  Indeed, for whatever perverse reason, the one team that we seem to have done strangely well against in the Dawkins era has been K.al...Of course, they've been to the Big Dance and we haven't, so it's kind of a hollow success story.

Once again, we managed to find a way to lose a close one -- our signature outcome...
