Wizards Build Vocabulary in Win Over Mavericks
Stet Sports Blog — ... DEPTH - Randy Foye and Mike Miller are going to be great additions to this team.

He shot just 6/17 and he allowed Shawn Marion to have a solid game against him, a game that, if Dallas gave Marion more touches, would have been better. More importantly, he didn’t play in crunch time when the Wizards really extended their lead, which I’m sure wasn’t exactly what Butler had in mind (or anyone else). Butler certainly ...
