TEAMS: Washington Wizards
Playoffs? We’re talking about Playoffs?   It has been well documented that the Washington Wizards started the season for lack of a better word, poorly. The Wizards lost their first 12 games and through December were 4-24. But 2013 rolled in, and the Wizards appear to be a new team, one that may be able to score points and compete with the rest of the NBA night in and night out.

After tonight’s home game vs. the Timberwolves, the Wizards will have played 41 games, also known as the halfway point of the season for NBA teams. We have gathered some of the best blogs and fans covering the Wizards out there to get some predictions for the Wizards’ 2nd half of the season and whether or not the playoffs could be a...

The Washington Wizards have found some stability since John Wall returned from injury. Getting Ricky Rubio back hasn't had that effect for the injury-plagued Minnesota Timberwolves.
