More photos » by Alonzo Adams - AP Browse more photos » I've preached patience all year because, let's face it, there is an unbelievable amount of newness to this team. New coach, new superstar (essentially), two new players, new system, new injuries to overcome, a new tough schedule, etc. Without a transcendant player on the roster, and with a system that preaches ball movement and making...
Whose fault is it now? Who is going to have to take the brunt of the criticism for this 3-8 start? The Wizards had an easy target last season, placing the blame on their miserable start with a group of not-ready-for-prime-time players because Gilbert Arenas and Brendan Haywood, among others, were out with injuries. But on Friday night, the Wizards sent a veteran lineup, featuring their dream starting...

Earl Boykins man is listed at 5-foot-5, 139. His max bench press is 315 pounds. This makes him the Wizards' strongest pound-for-pound player. And a lot of people, I told him, are surprised by that number. "I think they should be," he said. "I think they should be." Teammates, too. I guess to NBA veterans and longtime observers, the 315 number is sort of legendary, but to newcomers,...
Hey, all you people who've been bugging me for more Wiz and Caps and less Redskins radio transcriptions better be happy. And better be hitting refresh. Anyhow, one of the most jarring aspects of Wednesday night's Wiz game was undoubtedly the one-armed sleeves worn by Mike Miller and Antawn Jamison. "Pretty sure the Wizards lead the league in asymmetrical undershirts," twoeightnine observed....
During an interview with the New Yorker's Avi Zenilman a few months ago, Bill Simmons, an ESPN columnist/author and a man who doubtless dashed off 3,000 words this morning before I managed to get the brown sugar and banana on my oatmeal, was asked about the paucity of great basketball books. See, when you write about the NBA, as Simmons does and I have done for many years, you are generally asked negatively...
Antawn Jamison returned to the Wizards lineup tonight against the team that put him on the shelf back in the preseason and the result was Washington’s most impressive win of the year. At first it seemed as if Jamison and Mike Miller were the only Wizards who were going to show up for this game. [...]

That...

It was a beautiful display of basketball, the kind that the Washington Wizards assumed would be a regular occurrence when Flip Saunders took over as head coach. The Washington Wizards scored 27 points in little more than seven minutes in the third quarter of their 106-103 loss to the Detroit Pistons on Saturday. The ball whipped around at a neck-snapping pace, with confidence rising as open shots fell....
More photos » by Evan Vucci - AP Browse more photos » There are so many reasons why last night's game was so frustrating. The inability to stay in front of Will Bynum , a guy that once toiled for the Wizards ' old D-League affiliate, Roanoke. The late-game foul by DeShawn Stevenson, which really was an incredible mental lapse (and he did foul Gordon - if you watch the replay, Stevenson...

The Wizards are now 2-7 with no letup anytime soon. Washington next faces Cleveland at home, then travels to Oklahoma City and San Antonio. Michael Lee lays it all out on an eventful,...
