When the Wizards entered the OT tied with the Knicks at 112 and without the servies of Miller, Thornton and Singleton, I found myself saying, “who the hell is going to score?” Boy, do I have foresight? Andray Blatche had another great game. I’m ready to declare him the real deal. Can anyone contest the fact [...]

Red psychology and true ‘double vision ‘

I did not watch the Czechs lose to Finland nor the Swedes to Slovakia. However I did watch most of the game where Russia got slaughtered by Canada. Even though it wasn’t all his fault, I’m sure Ovie is really embarassed about how things went down. He is probably devastated because he really thought Russia could [...]

The Wizards blew it last night. They had a chance to beat Memphis, who is not a bad team, but certainly not great. The Wizards sleepwalked through the first 7 minutes of the 4th period and lost a winnable game. If they are going to make a run at the playoffs, (that’s right, the playoff [...]
Focusing on the finish & Red army ‘double vision’

The Hoyas’ reacton after they beat Louisville last night, 70-60, was the same as mine – not ecstatic, not particularly joyous, just satisfied and ready to move on. I turned off the T.V. and was relieved that we had returned to our winning ways. We out-rebounded Louisville throughout the game and in the 2nd half, [...]

Josh Howard was looking for a 2nd chance when he came here. He was one of the coggs that was driving this newly energized Wizards machine. The team was able to overcome his injury last night, but now that we know he is out for the year, will the team be able to continue playing [...]

Honestly, before the trade there were some big victories, but had there been a stretch of basketball this season where the Wizards have played better than in the last four games? Andray Blatche had 25 points and 11 rebounds. That means that since the trade he is averaging 25 points and almost 11 rebounds. Damn! [...]
Placid prognostications & red ‘double vision’

The Wizards played a good game on Saturday night and when Blatche hit that beautiful fade away to make it 100-91, I was feeling pretty good about our chances. Problem was, so were the Wizards and they stopped hustling and doing the little things that not only built them that lead, but had won them [...]

So before the Wizards kicked off their season, I bought a small package of tickets to the see the Wiz play after the all-star break. My expectation was that the Wizards would be in 4th or 5th place in the East by now and would be competing for a division title. When I looked at [...]
The new face of the franchise?

So to re-cap the least important event of the day, the Wizards beat the Timberwolves 108-99 last night in downtown D.C. As a Wizards fan, it was nice to see the team play with energy. It was nice to Blatche step up and have a fantastic game. It was nice to see McGee take over [...]

Some people may feel a sense of mirth at the thought of Antawn Jamison playing with LeTravel and competing for an NBA title. Don’t count me among them. Sure Antawn is a great guy and has given us a lot as an organization. I understand all that. But am I a shallow person if I tell you [...]
