Following basketball as a Wizards fan can be strenuous to say the least. Enjoying it is virtually impossible. Besides the few spurts of production over the course of the season, the Wizards have been about as entertaining as Paul Walker.
Although what occurred last night may have been one of those “spurts”, it’s safe to say that the exceptional display of domination we witnessed late in the 3rd quarter was arguably the best sequence of basketball we have seen from our boys all year.
We can only hope it was invigorating enough to be the turning point in what’s been a misfortunate season for the Wizards.
Outside of their comfort zone (the road), the Wizards still managed to stay on the brink of pulling away several times against Detroit last night, but the Pistons, led by the hefty ex-Hoya Greg Monroe, kept hanging around. Despite having an excellent night on both ends of the floor, one thing JaVale McGee did realize is the significance of a weight room as Monroe muscled him for a...

Wizards’ Jan Vesely is an ‘energy guy,’ starting or off the bench
Wizards Coach Randy Wittman perhaps put Jan Vesely in the starting lineup a bit prematurely, as his can’t-measure-him-by-the-box-score contributions couldn’t compare to the actual production of Trevor Booker, who has been on a tear since replacing Vesely with the first five.

Pistons' win streak ends against Wizards
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) -- JaVale McGee had 22 points and eight rebounds, and John Wall dished out 14 assists as the Washington Wizards routed the Detroit Pistons 98-77 on Sunday night.
Detroit entered on a season-best four-game winning streak, but saw it end when the Wizards went on a 22-2 run that spanned the third and fourth quarters.

Maurice Evans on the Wizards
Veteran swingman Maurice Evans has contributed just 73 minutes and 19 points to the Wizards this season, but it sounds like he’s left a far bigger mark verbally. Evans got lots of attention after calling a players-only meeting in early January and then publicly ripping the team’s “sense of entitlement,” and his message has softened much since then.

Rashard Lewis 3rd NBA Player With 15000 Points, 5000 Boards, 1500 Threes
Rashard Lewis fought through a sore right knee (and a funny heckler in the stands) to reach a notable NBA milestone in Detroit last night. Reports the WaPo: “Rashard Lewis didn’t play in the first half of the Wizards’ 98-77 win over the Detroit Pistons and was heckled for a large portion of a game by a fan seated near the visiting team bench. During a timeout, Lewis stood...
