A Fan’s Goodbye to JaVale and NY
Friday, March 16th, 2012All things end, whether good or bad. The trade that sends Nick Young and JaVale McGee to Denver concludes the run for two of the more interesting characters to ever play pro hoops in DC.
Both of these players were homegrown, first-round picks drafted by the Wiz. I remember my reactions to each pick; in 2007 [...]

Two Very JaVale McGee Videos!
Tuesday, February 21st, 2012It’s a point of pride that we allow few JaVale McGee videos to slip past our blognet. Unfortunately for the Wizards, but fortunately for the Internet, there are lots of them, including two more today:

Two-Win Wizards Campaign For Four All-Stars (New Traditions!)
Wednesday, January 25th, 2012I was going to link to this but decided it needs its own post. Do the Wizards really think a 2-15 team deserves four All-Stars? Do the Wizards really think any of these four have played to the level of an All-Star?
I understand marketing, and engaging the fan base. I get that. BUT, I think [...]

JaVale’s ‘Unecessary Staredown’ (VIDEO)
Wednesday, December 21st, 2011You may have already seen this dunk from last night’s Wiz-76ers game on D.C. Sports Bog and The Basketball Jones. My observations:
– The new unis are still new, still excellent.
– This was Wall-to-McGee, which may occur more often than Paul-to-Griffin, meaning Washington is the real Lob City.
– The dunk was only kinda sorta on some [...]
