"Sometimes it's just frustrating," Brendan Haywood said last week, when Caron Butler hurt his knee. "It feels like we're cursed." Well, that was last week. Then came Wednesday night's loss to the Heat, when Mike MIller went down with a sprained AC joint in his left shoulder--"Felt like it slid a little bit on me and went numb," Miller said, describing the injury. Flip Saunders said he'll likely be gone 7-to-10 days.

The Basketball Gods Strike: Heat Burn Wiz 93-89

Wiz TV ratings up 93 percent
Curious what a healthy Gilbert Arenas does for local interest in the Wizards? The early indications are it helps. A lot. The crowd at Wednesday night's Heat game was definitely on the late-arriving, small and quiet side, which had me once again cursing about D.C. sports. But the early-season TV ratings have been boffo. Through the first four games, the team's Comcast SportsNet broadcasts...
What is THIS all about?
Last night I noticed something a little bit disturbing. No it wasn't the Wizards terrible play, although to be honest that did make me feel quite ill. No this was much more disturbing indeed.

Caron will have his work cut out for him in trying to guard Danny Granger tonight. And the best way to combat a guy averaging 23 points per game (tied for 16th in the NBA)? Attack, attack, and attack him on offense.
Granger has been mad lately. He evidently stormed off without talking to the media [...]
