Something Has to Give
For those who don't know me, I'm a really optimistic guy. But that optimism has been taking too many hits lately. First with the Skins, who I thought were playoff bound, then with the Caps, who seem to be a different team every day, and now with the Wizards.

Since the Wizards’ loss to the Orlando Magic on Wednesday, the team has held a players-only meeting, and there has been much discussion about why John Wall is struggling.
Will the three-game homestand, which starts tonight against the Knicks, help? Will Roger Mason Jr. feel extra motivation playing against his former team (an experience that left “a bad taste” in his mouth...

Wizards’ Roger Mason Jr. ready for reunion with New York
Believing that he would have the opportunity to compete for a starting job and help spread the floor for all-star big man Amare Stoudemire, Roger Mason Jr. took about $300,000 less — not big money by NBA standards, but enough to affect a player of his stature — to sign with New York last season.
But his experience with the Knicks fell well short of his expectations and left...

Roger Mason Jr. was ejected from a game because of a … ‘technical glitch?’
You may have missed it last Friday night, after all it was a game between the Milwaukee Bucks and the Washington Wizards and you do have your dignity to think of, but Wizards guard Roger Mason Jr.'s ejection from that Wizards loss came because of a very strange infraction.
He was kicked out, apparently, for playing basketball. Oh, the humanity. And all the people.

Roger Mason Ejected from Wizards Game Because of a Technical Glitch
Roger Mason was able to play only a few minutes against the Bucks on Friday before being pulled from the game. His limited role wasn’t the result of injury or not being up to speed with the Wizards’ offense, however. Mason was ejected from the game because a paperwork glitch resulted in his name not appearing on the team’s 15-man roster, and thus he was not eligible...

Saunders Gets Techinical For Sending In An Ineligible Player
The NBA season isn't all that old. So there might be some mistakes early in the season that you can correct so they don't bite you in the ass later in the season. With a prolonged lockout the play and mistakes on the court may look ugly at times. You just don't expect it to spill over to the coaches.
But I'm talking about the Washington Wizards and they've...
