With just under five minutes left in the third quarter, the Wizards found themselves trailing the Suns by just six points.

Curious what a healthy Gilbert Arenas does for local interest in the Wizards? The early indications are it helps. A lot. The crowd at Wednesday night's Heat game was definitely on the late-arriving, small and quiet side, which had me once again cursing about D.C. sports. But the early-season TV ratings have been boffo. Through the first four games, the team's Comcast SportsNet broadcasts were averaging...

Dwayne Wade ran the show last night against the Wizards. (AP Photo/Nick Wass) Heat 93, Wizards 89 : It was the Dwayne Wade show at the Phone Booth last night. When Wade was on the court, he poured in 40 to lead all scorers; unfortunately for the Wizards, they couldn't transplant their very good play for the short periods of time when D-Wade was on the bench to when he was playing. Gilbert Arenas had...
"Sometimes it's just frustrating," Brendan Haywood said last week, when Caron Butler hurt his knee. "It feels like we're cursed." Well, that was last week. Then came Wednesday night's loss to the Heat, when Mike MIller went down with a sprained AC joint in his left shoulder--"Felt like it slid a little bit on me and went numb," Miller said, describing the injury. Flip...

The Washington Wizards had a number of places where they wanted to affix the blame after a disappointing loss in Cleveland. Brendan Haywood targeted the referees, who put the Wizards in a compromising position after they allowed Shaquille O'Neal to turn back the clock, clock the Wizards and send big man after big man to the bench in foul trouble. Gilbert Arenas pointed at a lack of ball movement and...
