Teds Take: Wizards vs. Bulls
Washington travels to the windy city for a Friday night game against the Bulls. Chicago, with a 16-20 record, currently hold the 8th spot in the east, showing how top heavy the two conferences can get. What is disappointing about the Bulls is that for the past five years or more we were hearing about how the "Baby Bulls" were going to lead the franchise back on the right...

Teds Take: Wizards vs. Hawks 1-13
The Atlanta Hawks are another one of those young teams on the rise who have done it the right way. Trading for young talent and bringing in experienced veterans have worked out for the team, as they are 24-13 and one game behind the division leading Orlando Magic. Atlanta has picked up their game in the past week beating the mighty Celtics twice in the past five days.
The trade...

Teds Take: Wizards vs. Pistons
I think the question in everyone's mind these days is what went wrong with the Detroit Pistons?!
Currently on a 13 game losing streak the 11-25 Pistons who last won a game on Dec. 12th, are officially no longer a factor in the east. The team has lost many parts of their identity in the past year, due to the departures of both Chauncy Billips and Rasheed Wallace, who were valuable...

The Wizards get stung by Hornets
Chris Paul was too much for the Wizards to handle as the former ACC Star willed his New Orleans Hornets over the Wizards 115-110 this afternoon.
Bullet(s) Points:
-Despite the Wizards shooting .579 from the field, and out rebounding the Hornets 41-29, they still couldn't pull a win together at the Verizon Center. It, of course, didn't help that the Hornets also shot...

Teds Take: Wizards vs. Hornets
The New Orleans Hornets are one of the NBA's biggest mysteries, how can a team with Chris Paul, David West, and Peja Stovakovic find themselves as a bubble team in the western conference playoff race? A team that won 49 games last year and an astounding 56 the year before, are now 18-16, battling the likes of the Memphis Grizzlies and Utah Jazz for one of the final playoff spots...

Wizards beat one of the best teams in the east
Despite the absence of Gilbert Arenas, the Washington Wizards pulled out on top over the defending Eastern Conference Champion Orlando Magic tonight, 104-97.
Bullet(s) Points:

Wizards lose to the Cavs in a game few paid attention to
Even on a night where the Wizards were blown out by 23 points in Cleveland, the attention of most Wizards fans lay in the fate of their fallen star Gilbert Arenas. Arenas had been suspended indefinitely only several hours before the game, causing many to speculate on the future of the team. I personally hosted a chat for CSN Washington tonight, and very little talk had to do with...

It was a move that many expected to happen, it's implications are still unknown.

Teds Take: Wizards vs. Cavs
Coming off a nice win against Philadelphia, the Wizards travel to Cleveland to take on King James and the rest of the Cavaliers. The Cav's are one of the top teams in the league sporting a 27-9 record and one of the best players of the past decade, and possibly all time in LeBron James.
James, who changed the landscape of the NBA upon his arrival in 2003, single-handedly turned...

Thoughts from the Third Row: High School Team Out Of Line
I know that I normally write about the NBA or the NCAA but sometimes I see a story about amateur basketball that I feel very strongly about and must offer some form of comment.
When someone gives a child a basketball for the first time, they hold it, or throw it or kick it. They must be taught to dribble, to pass and to shoot.
The ones who teach the fundamentals often dream of...

New Years...what better time for the Wizards to get a fresh start, put your best foot forward, and to finally put a brutal 2009 in the books, where the team was a disappointment and longtime owner Abe Pollin died. And what better team to open up the new decade with than the San Antonio Spurs, who were the...

Thoughts from the Third Row: New Decade for NBA, Same Relative Uncertainty
In the latter part of 1999, people weren't too sure about the new year that was to come. They were going to see not only the end of the year, but of the decade, the century and the millennium.
People were rushing around panicking and stocking their basement with supplies in fear of what Y2K would bring. But as everyone watched with anticipation as the ball dropped and...

Teds Take: Wizards vs. Thunder
How can you not love the Oklahoma City Thunder? A team that won 20 games in 2007-2008, and 23 games in 2008-2009, they have turned themselves into a winner by executing a nearly flawless rebuilding era. A relocation, fantastic drafts, and a little bit of luck has turned the former Seattle SuperSonics into a force that will soon be one of the top teams in the west. Only three games...

Wizards lose to the second worst team in the league, the T-Wolves
Washington lost last night 101-89 to the worst team in the Western Conference, and the second worst team in the NBA, the Minnesota Timberwolves.
-Bullet(s) Points
-The Wizards had more turnovers than assists, 16-12, in an ugly game that the Wizards arguably just gave away. Arenas was the biggest offender as his nine assists were almost erased by his seven turnovers on the night...

Teds Take: Wizards vs. TWolves
If it weren’t for the New Jersey Nets, we would probably label the Minnesota Timberwolves as the leagues worst team.
The 6-24 Wolves have loads of young talent but have been in shambles since the departure of Kevin Garnett. Things don’t look like they are going to get any easier due to the fact that they play in a Northwest division that holds Denver, Portland, Utah, and...
