SPEAKING

"Don't you get the feeling like we've seen this movie before? We're like a writer with writer's block. We can get the first couple of chapters written fairly efficiently and fairly well, but getting to the ending - we just can't seem to write the correct ending." - Washington interim coach Ed Tapscott after the Wizards lost for the 12th time this season when they had a fourth-quarter lead with Monday's 97-91 setback against Milwaukee.
