That’s what fans and basketball pundits want to know. Are they a legitimate playoff team, or are they a result of the talent of three star players and several good players benefiting from uneven defensive focus?
Are they a contender? In the month of March, the Wizards have defeated the playoff-bound Orlando Magic, New Orleans Hornets, Toronto Raptors, Cleveland Cavaliers and Detroit Pistons; but only after a 4-10 February.
Are they built Tough Juice like Caron Butler, or are they waiting on the world to change with Gilbert Arenas’ return? For that matter, is Gilbert going to return this season? Or doth his blog entry betray us?
These are the questions that surrounds Washington’s most successful franchise of the last five years. They’ve got a stars, they’ve got playoff experience, throw in the fact that area fans’ college hoops hopes have been soundly dashed, and the Wizards suddenly take sole place as the hottest ticket in town.
But are they hot enough to believe in?

The Wizards are the result of a damn fine coaching job, that’s what they are.
