Rashard Lewis’ Debut in Loss to Bulls
Posted on 22 Dec 2010 by Robert Bode.
Newly acquired Wizard Rashard Lewis didn't have the best debut at the Verizon Center. Washington lost to the Bulls 87-80 and Lewis scored just 8 points on 4-of-10 shooting – including 0-of-5 from three with five fouls in 14 minutes. Overall, it was an ugly offensive game for both teams. Fitting to see Donovan McNabb sitting court-side. Even as Kirk Hinrich played one of his best games...

Wiz Finally Trade Arenas, Rebuilding Officially Begins
Posted on 19 Dec 2010 by Robert Bode.
The news was enough to cover up the embarrassing last minute loss to the Miami Heat: Gilbert Arenas had been traded. It really didn't matter what the Wizards got in return for their former superstar (Rashard Lewis was a decent return, as I'll talk about more later) but the fact that Ernie Grunfeld was able to deal Arenas at all was a victory for the franchise. Sure, the Wiz still can't win a ...

Wizards Keep Losing, and Future Looks Bleak
Posted on 15 Dec 2010 by Robert Bode.
I completely overrated this team coming into the season and right now I can't believe I actually thought this franchise was heading in the right direction. Losers in nine of their last ten games, Washington's bleak playoff hopes have been all but dashed – in December. The roster has some talent, but it doesn't seem like anyone knows what direction the team is heading. There are concerns w...

Wiz Get Burned by Suns in Phoenix, Still Winless on Road
Posted on 6 Dec 2010 by Robert Bode.
After a pathetic defensive performance against the Toronto Raptors, the Washington Wizards rebounded with a great showing on that side of the court in a 83-79 win over the Portland Trailblazers. Well, the defense was lacking again Sunday night, as the Phoenix Suns put on an offensive clinic, led by Steve Nash's 20 point, 17 assist, perfect shooting display in a 125-108 win. Flip Saunders decide...

Wizards Can’t Complete Comeback, Lose to Magic 100-99
Posted on 27 Nov 2010 by Robert Bode.
The Washington Wizards were without John Wall for the fifth time this season, this time due to a knee injury, but an inspired team performance almost saw the Wiz pull off a huge comeback victory against the Orlando Magic. An exciting fourth quarter ended with a missed Gilbert Arenas jump shot as time expired, who couldn't duplicate the heroics of Dwight Howard, who tipped in the winning basket ...

Wiz Look Like Turkeys, Lose 11th Straight Against Hawks 116-96
Posted on 26 Nov 2010 by Robert Bode.
For the first time this season, John Wall and Gilbert Arenas were in the starting lineup together. However, with Al Thornton out due to injury, Kirk Hinrich joined Wall and Arenas to make for a very small backcourt, and the Hawks took full advantage. I can't understand why Flip Saunders decided to go with Hinrich instead of Nick Young, who has been on a good run of form recently, but the move b...

Without Wall, Wiz Put on Performance of the Year Against Raptors
Posted on 16 Nov 2010 by Robert Bode.
Without their star rookie, the Washington Wizards put on a dominating performance to crush the Toronto Raptors 109-94. Rookie point guard John Wall was on the bench with a sprained left foot Tuesday night, but a great team effort by the Wiz put away the Raptors with ease. Washington outscored Toronto by 15 points in the third quarter to put the game out of reach. Gilbert Arenas looked confident...

Wizards Bench is a Huge Problem
Posted on 30 Oct 2010 by Robert Bode.
Wall's ugly shoes, almost as horrendous as the Wizards' bench. So the Wizards' season has started, and they lost two games to division rivals they were expected to lose. Game one was a white washing, but that was expected against an Orlando team opening up a new arena on national TV. Game two against Atlanta Saturday night was a close, competitive battle despite an absolutely horrid per...

Washington Wizards – Season Preview
Posted on 6 Oct 2010 by Robert Bode.
Washington Wizards – Season Preview After a disastrous 2009-2010 season, the Wizards off-season went well by officially making Ted Leonsis team owner and winning the NBA Draft lottery, where they selected Kentucky point guard John Wall with the first overall selection. The 2010-2011 season is rapidly approaching and the Wizards don't figure to be much more than a rebuilding team, but if the b...
