Clearly, the team's 5-10 November has a lot to do with complicated explanations that have no easy answers. But the truth is, for all of the Wizards' supposed problems, there are only two parts that...
by Nick Wass - AP View full size photo » I didn't watch this one, and can't rewatch it since it was on NBATV. I'm glad I missed it. I'm certainly not glad to read about what some of the players said to the media after this loss. In particular, Caron Butler and Gilbert Arenas' statements really bug me. That it's those two guys is very problematic, because they're the only two players on the team...
It's one thing for the Wizards (5-10) to have a losing record after the first month of the season. It's another thing that the Wizards have been hammered in almost all of their losses this season. They have lost eight games by double digits this season, with the last embarrassment coming at home against Charlotte -- a team that arrived at Verizon Center with zero road wins. But the Bobcats made themselves...

Dwyane Wade couldn't get around the defense of Nick Young [left] and center Brendan Haywood last night. The Wizards won 94-84. (AP Photo/Lynne Sladky) Wizards 94, Heat 84 : The Wizards got key contributions from Antawn Jamison and Nick Young to lead them to a ten-point win over Miami last night, their second straight after the passing of Abe Pollin. The victory broke a six-game losing streak against...
Just scrolling down the box score from Friday's game, a few things stand out. First, Nick Young had more shot attempts (23) than Antawn Jamison (20) and Dwyane Wade (19) and Gilbert Arenas and Caron Butler combined (16). Second, Wade only attempted seven free throws. And third, the Wizards had 23 assists and 12 turnovers. From those numbers, it's pretty easy to glean how the Wizards snapped a six-game...

So I apologize if this recap is a bit stale. The game happened three days ago, after all. But I have to put a final wrap on it before we move on. Yes, it's true. The Wizards almost lost on Tuesday...

While neither Gilbert Arenas nor his team, the Washington Wizards, are setting records on the basketball court, the NBA star might gain notoriety in the Twitterverse. According to The Washington Post , Arenas says he won't write his first tweet until he gets one million followers on his Twitter account . If this happens, Arenas would have more followers than any other inactive person on Twitter ....
