John Wall gets Ish Smith back with an ankle breaking crossover

John Wall gets Ish Smith back with an ankle breaking crossover

Since John Wall returned from his knee injury, the Wizards are undefeated. It’s an extremely small sample size (only two games), but its something the fans can be proud of because after all, their number one pick is back. And so far, he’s doing a damn good job. In 20.5 minutes over his first two games [...]

Should Wizards fans boo Andray Blatche tonight? Trevor Booker thinks so

Should Wizards fans boo Andray Blatche tonight? Trevor Booker thinks so

There are very few instances when I would advise people to watch the Nets and Wizards play against each other, but tonight may be one of those nights that you actually decide to sit down to watch a couple of quarters. Notice how I didn’t say watch the whole game. I realise that would be asking too much [...]

Shelvin Mack dominates with 25/9/8 in a losing effort to the BayHawks

Shelvin Mack was put on the national stage during his final two years at Butler when he lead the Bulldogs to back-to-back NCAA title games. Whilst his team fell short in both appearances, he went on to declare for the 2011 NBA draft and was selected with the 34th overall pick by the Washington [...]

Emeka Okafor saves a falling Wizards fan

It’s good to know that even though Emeka Okafor is averaging career lows on a 1-12 Wizards team, he still has his wits about him because last night, he may have saved a fan from a trip to the hospital: “I was just so excited about the first win of the season that I leaned over too far,” said the fan, who declined to be named out of embarrassment [...]

Blatche: “Nobody in [the Wizards] organization tried to help me”

Blatche: “Nobody in [the Wizards] organization tried to help me”

Andray Blatche has received a lot of criticism over the past two years and deservedly so. After agreeing to a five-year $35 million extension in September 2010, Blatche faded into oblivion last season and was eventually amnestied by the Washington Wizards. But to his credit [...]

Bradley Beal says 0-11 start is “like depression”

Bradley Beal says 0-11 start is “like depression”

After their loss to the Bobcats last night, the Washington Wizards became only the 12th team in NBA history to start their season with an 0-11 record. Whilst that is not something to be proud of, it isn’t as bad as it sounds. Three of those games were decided in overtime and they are only losing by an average of 6.5 points per game. As well as that, Nene has only been back for two [...]

Jordan Crawford: ‘We don’t have a strategy right now’

Jordan Crawford: ‘We don’t have a strategy right now’

The Wizards were so close to notching their first win of the season last night, yet several mistakes down the stretch gave them nothing more than another loss. But really, what do you expect when your starters combine for 31 points on 8 – 37 shooting? The bad news is that it isn’t going to get any easier for [...]
