I don't know if it is the lagging mental effects of his injury or what but he has been really really bad at the end of games.

His concentration and focus has waned incredibly this year, it's been rather ridiculous at times.

Also, why are the Wizards so damned bad this year? They are much better on paper and they should be above .500

They just haven't been able to mesh into anything resembling a cohesive unit yet. They've also lost 6 of their last 7 games by 4 points or less (I'm not sure if that's a league record, it's certainly a team record). They could easily be 14-10 right now (or anywhere in between that and 8-16, but good teams pull out games like that, so, you know).
