Tomorrow will begin a new week of analysis, speculation, rumors and conspiracies for the NBA in the wake of the Tim Donaghy investigation. Here the Washington Post’s Wizards Insider blog discussing Donaghy’s role in several Wizards games from this past season.
Two games are called into question; a home victory against the Atlanta Hawks in March, and an April victory against the Indiana Pacers on the road. Both games of the down-to-the-final-shot variety. But there was one other game that didn’t go so well for the Wiz; an April away game at New Jersey from which one blogger characterized some of the officiating as ‘headscratching.’
Hmmm.
One would think the Wizards aren’t a big team to bet on, given their propensity to watch other teams score the ball as much as home fans enjoy Gilbert and Co. going to work offensively. The Wiz kids allowed 104 ppg last season, good enough for third worst in the league behind Golden State and Memphis.
And you thought hometown hero Kevin Durant and Greg Oden came at a good time? In the face of this controversy, their timing was absolutely great.
