The Washington Wizards are a promising team. They face a crossroads at the off-season and some important decisions have to be made. But the Wizards front office are optimistic.

OkAriza's Improvements Make for a Welcomed Return Next Season
When the Wizards traded away a sluggishly inept Rashard Lewis to New Orleans for Trevor Ariza and Emeka Okafor, they were hopeful for at least some speckle of veteran leadership and modest production in return. Like many transactions driven by Ernie Grunfeld, this one was initially considered a typical front office hiccup given the nature of the inflated incoming contracts matched...

Ex NBA player Javaris Crittenton was indicted on murder and gang charges on Tuesday. Predictably, the story spread all over the internet including the front page of Yahoo!.The only problem, as you can see above, is that the folks at Yahoo! used a photo of former Laker Trevor Ariza instead of Javaris Crittenton.[Reddit]The post Yahoo! used a picture of Trevor Ariza for its story about...

- Wall Talks Win and Martell Webster Trolls Ariza's Interview
The locker room is such a happier place for Martell Webster when his team wins. I personally love his habit of trolling his fellow teammates during their post-game interivews, just as he did with Bradley Beal a few weeks ago and again last night at the end of Trevor Ariza's piece (shown below). Ariza talked about his successful shooting night, while Wall discussed the ease of...

The Wizards never trailed and shot 50 percent as they handed the league-worst Bobcats their 10th straight loss, most of which haven't been competitive...

Wizards lose, but not according to this guy
The Washington Wizards stole a last second victory from the Detroit Pistons last month. Wizards announcer Steve Buckhantz roared out a triumphant “Dagger!” as Trevor Ariza sunk a three pointer from the corner giving Washington a nail-biting win over the Detroit Pistons.
There’s only one problem: The shot didn’t go in.
It’s not easy being a Wizards fan.

"It was the perfect storm" - Anonymous NBA announcer on this week's missed buzzer beater
Ed Note: Earlier this week Wizards play by play man Steve Buckhantz and Pistons play by play man George Blaha mistakenly called a game ending airball by Washington's Trevor Ariza as a game winning three pointer.

- Trevor Ariza Defends John Wall; Brad Beal Takes Blame For Final Play
The Wizards once again succumbed to the wrath that has become the Detroit Pistons. The night served plenty of heartache from Nene's absence to John Wall's barf-worthy performance, to Steve Buckhantz's fake-me-out dagger. The dejection transpired into the locker room as Wall had little to say in defense of his recent funk. Brad Beal expressed remorse for passing up a layup...
Wizards Announcer Calls Game Winning Airball Shot Attempt a Dagger (VIDEO)
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.
During Wednesday night’s game against the Detroit Pistons, Steve Buckhantz gave insight...
