Wednesday Wizards Report When your favorite NBA team is 18-37 and hasn’t made the playoffs since the 2007-2008 season, one would think that there is no hope for that particular team. Well in the Washington Wizards situation, that is not the case. Most Wiz fans had playoffs on their minds before the season opened, but injuries derailed that train. Now with all of the Wizards’ key pieces active and a 13-9 record to boot when healthy, next season can’t come soon enough for us Wizards fans (that is if Ted finally fires Ernie and Randy). But over the last two weeks a very interesting topic has come up amongst the Wizards circles.

Mr. Beal has been shouldering the scoring load for the last few games, and since the All Star break he has averaged 20.8 points a game. Beal is doing more than just scoring though, as he is averaging 6.8 rebounds and 2....

It has to be a challenging task to work as a play-by-play announcer for the Washington Wizards. The Wizards are currently 18-38 this season. I imagine the last time a Wizard announcer was able to show pure excite for their team opposed to the visiting team was when Michael Jordan played for them.

At the end of Wednesday night's Wizards-Pistons game, Washington Wizards play by play man Steve Buckhantz gave us one of the funniest announcing bloopers in the history of the microphone.

How about this confusion? As you can see from the video, the shot was just a bit short. However, it moved the net, which makes it look like the shot went in. The announcers eventually caught on, but that did not make it any less funny. In fact, it might have, had it even better. If the guys would have just looked at the players, they could have told that the shot was just a bit short...

Yes, for a guy calling a professional or for that matter any sports game on TV, there's nothing more exciting to call a "Game Winner".
And that's what makes this call so funny.

The Detroit Pistons had what seemed like a comfortable lead late in their game against the Washington Wizards Wednesday night. But, because it’s the Pistons (23-37), and because it’s the Wizards (18-38), anything can happen. Trevor Ariza hit a three pointer to bring the Wizards within three, and after a defensive stop, the Pistons committed a clear path foul, giving the home...
