Trade Deadline Looming for Wizards
Year 2 of the rebuild has not gone as smoothly as Wizards fans would have hoped but this IS a rebuild. Simply put, if the Wizards don’t want to alienate the already sparse fan base, the roster has to undergo a major transformation and increase the toughness and basketball IQ of this team.

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

Can these three bad teams find fixes?
When you're as bad as the Washington Wizards, New Orleans Hornets and Charlotte Bobcats, there are no easy fixes.
After all, getting this bad takes dedication.
The Wizards, Hornets and Bobcats are kind of like those silly beer T-shirts that proclaim, "This body was built 12 ounces at a time." In other words, the body exists and is being filled with stuff, but not...

Taking the Good with the Bad
When speaking in terms of Wizards basketball, losing has become routine just as much as traffic on K Street at 5pm on a Tuesday.
Customary with losing is the subsequent rash of fans and media spewing their opinions and reasoning for why the team fell short: pinpointing coaches and players, using injuries as an excuse, or, like in the case of last night’s defeat to the Orlando...

Win Over Wizards An Imperfect Cure
A win over the Washington Wizards is not going to impress anyone. Sorry. It just is not. This is still, despite a much more inspired level of play under new head coach Randy Wittman, one of the bottom feeders in the league.

The Wizards knew they were going against a great team in Chicago and one of the premiere defensive teams in the NBA.
