The One Game That Represents The Wizards 2011-2012 Season
It was a bad weekend for Washington sports. However while some are bummed over the Caps loss to the Bruins yesterday, at least they are hovering above .500 with a 27-21 record. It would take a miracle for the Washington Wizards to achieve such a feat.
This past weekend the Wizards lost to the Clippers in [...]

Reigning MVP Derrick Rose was in a mood.
Sunday night he blamed himself for a loss against the Miami Heat that left him angry, emotional, and determined to make it up in the next game he’d play.
Unfortunately for the Washington Wizards they were that next game. Rose looked like a madman [...]
Randy Wittman: The Coach Washington Deserves, But Not The One It Needs

“Why’s Randy coaching, Dad?”
“Because we had to fire Flip.”
“He didn’t do anything wrong.”
Flip Saunders may have not done anything wrong, but he certainly didn’t do anything right. In one way Flip will be the fall guy for another failed Wizards season, but in another way Flip was never the answer [...]
Paul Pierce Carries The Celtics To A Win Over Wizards

Celtics star Point Guard Rajon Rondo was ruled out of today’s game against the Wizards with a sprained right wrist. In the second quarter Ray Allen left the game with a jammed left ankle. Slumping and battered, the Celtics looked like a prime target for the Wizards, who have been improving their [...]
Nuggets Outrun Wizards, Boos Keep Raining On Blatche
The Wizards had a little swagger in their step as they took the court Friday night. Coming off a big win over the NBA-best Oklahoma City Thunder, the ‘zards went up against the Denver Nuggets and pummeled them in the first quarter. Washington scored a season-high 37 points and were in the game down to the end.
However [...]
Wizards Shock The Thunder As The NBA’s Worst Beats The Best
“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.”
This quote was posted inside the Wizards locker room tonight, very apropos for the game. The Wizards came in tonight as the worst team in the NBA at 1-12, [...]
Wall Puts Up Career High 38 Points, McGee Showboats In Loss To Rockets
In between the 3rd and 4th quarter of today’s Washington Wizards match against the Houston Rockets, Steve Miller Band’s “Fly Like An Eagle” filled the Verizon Center. I thought it was fitting since it is the first track on the Space Jam soundtrack and coach Flip Saunders recently commented that the team, “looked like ‘Space [...]

With the acquisition of center Tyson Chandler, the New York Knicks hoped to enter the season with their own “Big Three”: Chandler, Amar’e Stoudemire, and Carmelo Anthony. Like many other recent “dream teams” in sports, the Knicks have started off slow winning only two of their first [...]
Boston’s Big Four Puts The Hurt On Wizards
If you have been referring to Paul Pierce, Ray Allen, and Kevin Garnett as Boston’s “Big Three”- you need to think again.
Rajon Rondo is out to prove this season that it’s actually Boston’s “Big Four”. The Wizards were the latest victim to the Boston Point Guard that started the season with back-to-back double-double performances and unleashed terror [...]
Should DC Really “Shut Up” About Andray Blatche?

For most of the country the main headline coming out of the Washington Wizards’ first game of the season was the boos directed towards ex-Kardashian Kris Humphries. I feel bad for NBA fans and coaches who probably have no idea why Humphries is the most hated person [...]
Don’t Push The Panic Button On The Wizards… Yet.
Welcome back to the NBA.
Friday the Wizards opened up their two-game pre-season with a very uninspiring 103-78 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers. It wasn’t even close at any point during the night.
The media was quick to paint the Wizards as the same ol’ team:

The Wizards Post-Lockout FAQ
It is going to be a Happy Holidays for the Washington Wizards.
Not only does December 25th mark the return of NBA across the country- the Wizards will open up 2012 with a New Years Day game against the Boston Celtics in the Verizon Center- a game that maybe closer than you think considering the Wizards’ [...]
Your Wizards Draft Cheat Sheet
In case you were too busy hating on Jim Riggleman or trying to figure out Ron Artest’s crazy new name, the NBA held their draft this past Thursday and the Washington Wizards added three new players to the team. Coming into last week’s draft, many regarded the draft class as pretty bland. There weren’t any [...]

Sure Jordan Crawford and John Wall don’t look very excited in this photo, I’m sure they would rather be in the middle of an exciting NBA Playoffs that’s in full swing right now. However I am personally excited for what they are wearing- the new uniforms of the Washington Wizards.
At an unveiling this morning Wizard’s [...]
What’s next for the Wizards?
If you thought that the Wizards rebuilding job was close to being done, think again. Most of the big decisions have yet to be made, and much of the heavy lifting is still to come

My expectations for the Wizard’s final home game on Monday were sunk as soon as I saw the inactives.
“Garnett, O’Neal, Rondo”
Coming off a tough loss against the Miami Heat the night before, I was hoping to see Boston try and bounce back against the Wizards in an effort to fight for the [...]
Without Wall, Wizards fight hard, but lose to the Heat
Anyone who’s had to deal with young people knows that growing up isn’t done in a moment or a single night. It’s a gradual process, full of fits and starts and invariably frustrating.

I’ll admit that I didn’t stay up for all of the Wizard’s 119-127 double overtime loss to the Clippers last night. Those West Coast games are killer on a work night.
However I didn’t need to see the entire game to see the unfolding story of Jordan Crawford. By the time I [...]
The Blake Show Topples The Wizards

For a 122-101 loss against The Clippers, there was something about the night that made it somewhat enjoyable.
Well at least until the last quarter.
Maybe it was the energy of the sold-out crowd or my return to the Verizon Center’s blogger’s row after a lengthy absence (I was busy watching Oscar films [...]
