The Wizards are limping into the playoffs, their postseason prospects growing more unfavorable with each loss.
The Wizards have tumbled to sixth place in the Eastern Conference, a dreaded position because of a possible date with the Heat.
The meeting would have the air of a sentence to the Wizards, given the recent one-sided history between the teams.
This is the grim reality that was set in motion in late January, when Antawn Jamison bumped knees with DeShawn Stevenson and was sidelined for a month.
The injury to Caron Butler accelerated the team's descent.
Even the recent tweaking of Andray Blatche's knee is problematic because of the energy he was providing in the absence of Butler.
The Wizards are teetering from a creative West Coast trip, with each of the four losses serving as a taunt.
The Wizards were in position to win each of the games but either couldn't make a shot, grab a rebound or get a defensive stop at the most necessary times.
That is the propensity of a team that has lost its way, which is in contrast to the team that won three of four games on its West Coast trip in December.
The ejection of Eddie Jordan in Salt Lake City was symptomatic of the team's frustration.
