Wizards drop 15th in a row, 103-87 to Utah Jazz - Michael Lee, Washington Post
The Wizards still went out to play a game against the Jazz, a Western Conference playoff contender, but the result was what could've been expected. They lost their 15th consecutive game, 103-87. "I told our guys, 'We're playing teams right now that have more talent than we have,' " Saunders said after the Wizards (21-51) lost their fourth game this month by at least 15 points.

The Jazz sent the Wizards to their franchise-record 15th consecutive loss, winning 103-87 at Verizon Center to bounce back following Friday's loss at Indiana and head home 2-1 from their final Eastern Conference trip of the season. "Everybody thinks these games are real easy," Jazz coach Jerry Sloan said. "These are tough games. They're playing a lot of different guys, trying to find out what they've got and you never know what you've got to deal with. To get away with a win was important to us."

After the latest loss, Saunders was asked if he’s stepped back and thought about all the team has been through. "If I did, I might not be here," Saunders said, joking. "It’s Murphy’s Law right now. All we can do is try to keep on fighting."

The only thing that's changed is now that Gilbert Arenas has been sentenced - and not to any jail time, which cements the fact that the Wizards can't and won't try to void his contract - his name isn't taboo in the locker room any more. "Picture if we had Gil," said Blatche. "Picture if we had Josh Howard on this team. It’d probably be a completely different team. We’re just missing one more piece. All the games we’re losing, it’s not like we’re going every night getting our tail whipped. We’re losing by a couple points. If we had Gil to take over in the fourth quarter, bam, that’s a different story for us. We’re just missing another piece, and once we get that other piece, I think we’ll be great."
