Just don’t. They get a big win, they follow it up with one of the worst losses you could ever imagine watching. They have enough characters in which you could emotionally invest, but short of a 12-game winning streak, there are few redeemable qualities in this team that could hold your attention, let alone your [...]

Struggling knee patient. Eccentric millionaire. Alleged cuckolded fiancee’ and father.
NBA all-star.
Is it his right as an American to do so? Absolutely. But anyone whose lived the life of Gilbert Arenas – particularly the last three years – should be self-aware about what they might be prone to do with firearms at their disposal.

Earl Boykins is something the Washington Wizards could have never expected. For better and for worse.
Really, what does it say when Ernie Grunfeld has the eye to grab a diminutive journeyman point guard that can produce on a consistent basis? It says he knows what he’s doing.

As if the Wizards weren’t in a bad enough spot, ESPN is running a promotion for fans to draw up an inbounds play that the Wizards will use in a game.
Knowing their luck, here are the possible outcomes from such an exercise, in order of likelihood:

First off, props to the Truth for blowing the doors off this scandal with well-timed screen captures. Now, onto the puzzling story of D.C. Mayor Adrian Fenty attending a Wizards game in Miami on the day of Abe Pollin’s funeral.
