Four giveaways after the Wizards (2-6) made their first five shots and got a Gilbert Arenas dagger from six-feet behind the three-point line at the end of the first quarter but blew a 49-41 halftime lead in Miami and extended their current losing streak to five with a 90-76 loss to the Heat (6-1):
If Arenas had shown the same kind of focus and intensity that he had arguing calls with referee Dan Crawford after the game had already been decided – enough to earn himself a dumb technical foul – back during his 7-turnover third period, perhaps he might not have rung up the most dubious of double-doubles: 21 points, a career-high 12 turnovers. Even with eight assists, that A-to-T ratio ended in negative land.
