The Wizard's are one of the few teams in years that haven't let us Washington fans down...
The Skins
The Caps
The Terps men b-ball and f-ball teams
The Wizard's started the year out pretty average but have been on a super run. They had a couple road games that they laid total eggs, but hopefully, they can pull some of those tough road games out as the 2nd half begins.
With Shaq out and the Pistons losing Ben Wallace we're heading into the All-star break as good as anyone in the East. Orlando has Howard, a great young player but Grant Hill is only a sprained ankle away from missing the rest of the year. The Bulls don't have the scoring to counteract the total liability Ben provides on the offensive end. The Pacers will take awhile to meld the new guys. The Knicks, Celtics, Nets, and 76'ers all stink.
I can't wait for the Wizard's to have their new guy on the bench too -- Songaila. I'm hoping that Jordan can find a way to get him into the rotation, without messing up the chemistry of the team, before the playoffs. Blatche is starting to show signs of being a good young player. Hayes is still getting looking for his shooting touch.
