Several days have passed since it was first reported that Gilbert Arenas, star point guard for the Washington Wizards, pulled a gun on teammate Javaris Crittenton over a supposed gambling debt. Even with the passage of time, the story remains unclear and neither Arenas nor Crittenton have much to say on the matter. The report evolved over time to mention that Crittenton produced a firearm of his own, creating a showdown of ...

The year is over. The decade is over. The Wizards can put their failures behind them and build for the future starting with the '10s. But not before looking back on the multitude of mishaps and missed opportunities in the '00s. The 2000 NBA Draft is widely considered to be the worst draft class of the decade, if not the last 20 to 30 years. Kenyon Martin was the first overall pick, ...

There are no more excuses to be made for the Washington Wizards' poor start to the season. They are 10-20 and they have lost to the NBA's worst teams this season. But they're "still a playoff team" in the eyes of a few fans that are apparently watching their squad through rose-colored glasses. The worst thing the Wizards can be right now is the most talented team in the NBA on paper. ...

The Washington Wizards have started the season at a disappointing 8-17 and have failed to live up to anyone's expectations despite the overall health of all of their key players. Something needs to change in Washington, so why not some of the faces? The Wizards have reached the playoffs four times in the last five seasons, but are coming off an ugly 19-63 year. They were without Brendan Haywood and Gilbert Arenas ...

It is no secret that the Washington Wizards are not winning games the way they were expected to. Blame it on turnovers, bad shots, or a lack of fire, but the fact is that they are missing the easiest shots in the game. Free throws. Logically speaking, an undefended, stationary, mid-range shot should be a cinch for any professional basketball player. It just never turns out that way. The league average for free ...

A team is only as strong as its weakest link and the Washington Wizards are no exception to the cliche. The weakest link for the Wizards right now is DeShawn Stevenson. I doubt anyone will protest that fact either. Since arriving in Washington, Stevenson has been a hard-working, bench caliber player getting a lot of minutes with the starters. In review of the Wizards starters, the names Gilbert Arenas, Antawn Jamison, Caron ...

The Washington Wizards have proven themselves to be inconsistent in the early going of the 2009-2010 season. Despite the turmoil stemming from Gilbert Arenas' recent comments or Antawn Jamison's delayed return, Brendan Haywood has shown himself to be the heart and soul the team lacks as a whole. But for whatever reason, no one is talking about the man in the middle. Last season, Haywood was available for just six games. Before ...

The Washington Wizards were poised to mount their first three-game win streak since April of 2008. Instead, they were treated to a 12-point loss at the hands of the Charlotte Bobcats, where they scored more than 20 points in only one quarter of play. The 92-78 loss doesn't just drop the Wizards to 5-10 on the season, but highlights the broad scope of problems facing the team. On a team that has ...

The 2009-2010 NBA season is barely a month old and already the Washington Wizards are on the verge of imploding. And despite early season reports of Gilbert Arenas reforming his diva ways, he is the root of the problem. Agent Zero has returned with a vengeance. One phrase sticks out from a recent, and rare, interview with Arenas. "Hidden agendas." He (wrongly) highlighted the number of potential free agents for next season ...
