Via Midwest Sports Fans  |  February 07, 2012
During last night’s Wizards-Raptors game, Washington’s JaVale McGee put up a running hook shot then ran back on defense, even though his team came up with the rebound. John Wall’s reaction is the best part of the whole sequence.

The Wizards have seven players in their first or second NBA seasons on the 14-man roster, following the recent release of second-year big man Hamady Ndiaye.

Video: McGee's mental lapse sums up the Wizards' season

Via Crossover Chronicles  |  February 08, 2012
In case you don't know, the Washington Wizards are a mess. From Flip Saunders getting fired, to JaVale McGee showboating and subsequently getting benched, this team needs a complete overhaul.

Video: Javale McGee Gets Confused

Via SLAM Online  |  February 07, 2012
This is why Javale McGee is who he is. After missing a short runner, McGee hustles back on defense, lowering his head in frustration.

Ahh, the Wizards!

Wizards Update: Let’s only play the Raps and Cats

Via Pro Sports Blogging  |  February 07, 2012
The Wizards have won five out of their first twenty games.  That’s not very good.  What’s most troublesome is that four of our five wins have come against two of the leagues worst teams: the Raptors and Bobcats. Currently the Raps are 8-18 while the Bobcats are the only team in the league with a worse record than the Wiz at 3-21.  So, to recap, the Wiz have gone 4...
