John Wall Redemption Tour Hits Next Stop
Thursday, April 11th, 2013Once he returned from injury, John Wall has made many believers this season. His scoring is up, his ridiculous-catch-them-from-behind blocks are up, and he looks like he could really become the star we all hoped for when Wall was drafted No. 1 in 2010.

Thursday, April 4th, 2013Last night, the Wizards blew an 11-point halftime lead to the lowly Raptors and were eliminated from playoff contention for the fifth straight year. Also, Randy Wittman made this face (via @wzzntzz):

I’m In Love With The Wizards’ New Dunk Celebration
Wednesday, March 20th, 2013I’ll totally break this out next time I hit a jumper in a pickup game, even if it breaks all the rules.
