Washington Wizards

Did you know Derrick Rose has a crystal ball? Me either. Confidence isn’t something the Chicago Bulls point guard lacks. Not out in the open at least. Through two major, ceiling-crippling, season-sacking injuries, he’s always spoke of returning to dominance. To call him upbeat would be a stretch, since he’s extremely stoic and often stone-faced.

Paul Pierce made the Brooklyn Nets look confusing. It was barely a year ago that the Nets were selling fans on a mortgaged future because it meant the arrivals of Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Jason Kidd. Two of those guys are now gone, the most noteworthy of whom is Pierce. He left for the [...]

Chill. Let’s all just chill. You, me, the person to your left, your right, the kid from your high school who used to play pocket billiards in the back of math class, the tighty-whitey-clad cowboy who plays acoustic guitar on the corner of busy streets and the guy behind me who smells of fetid cheese [...]

August and the NBA don’t together. News is typically slow this time of year, leaving fans and scribes to look for topics of interest and note. When the Kevin Love rumors aren’t flowing and the San Antonio Spurs offense isn’t running like a well-oiled, time-tested machine, that’s a ridiculously hard task. Benny Kriefall of Minnesota [...]

You would think that all signs would be pointing upwards, but instead the Washington Wizards were continuously [...]

After just playing one season for the Brooklyn Nets, Pierce is heading out to the nation’s capital and hope to be of service to John Wall and company. Last season, he a career low of [...]

After having a solid year, 6-foot-11 center Marcin Gortat will be staying with the Washington Wizards after agreeing to a five-year, $60 million contract, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports. [tweet https://twitter.com/WojYahooNBA/status/484127262766551040] The Polish center was one of the most productive big men in the league by averaging 13.2 points and 9.5 rebounds per [...]

Nothing readies NBA players for the grind of up-and-down basketball like a piping hot cup of cocoa. Said no one ever. Except Washington Wizards point guard John Wall. The 23-year-old All-Star has a weird tradition: He drinks two McDonald’s hot chocolates every day. Every day. Even in the summer? Well, duh. The Washington Post‘s Dan [...]
