The Washington Wizards silenced a few critics with a big win over the Cleveland Cavaliers in their second meeting of the season. The honeymoon didn't last long as the Wizards lost by 19 points a mere 48 hours later. So much for Antawn Jamison's return making all the difference. The win over the Cavs was, by any other name, an apparition. Cleveland was without Shaquille O'Neal and Anderson Varejao, or 18 points ...

The Washington Wizards are set to "welcome" LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers to the Verizon Center for their second meeting of the season. The outcome will not be as one-sided as the first, as Antawn Jamison makes his season debut against the Cavs. With LeBron coming to town now, and his impending free agency next summer, it is difficult to overlook the potential impact on the Wizards. á The Fact James and the ...

In the long list of things missing from the Washington Wizards this season, Antawn Jamison is at the top. Come Wednesday, he will be scratched off that list. Coach Flip Saunders said Jamison will make his season debut against the Cleveland Cavaliers in a must-win situation for the Wizards. It isn't a must-win because time is short on the season, but because the Wizards need something to end the six game ...

The 2009-2010 NBA season is barely two weeks old, but the 2010 free agency class is a hot topic for fans and experts alike. The list of players is nothing short of impressive, and would make any owner salivate at the very thought of signing one of the many superstars that figure to be available come next summer. At the top of that list is the king himself, LeBron James. It is ...

The Washington Wizards are in the midst of a four-game losing streak amid a flood of seemingly minor injuries to major players. Randy Foye is making the most of the increased minutes those injuries have afforded him. His statistics don't jump off the page, but there is a certain quality that is apparent upon inspection. When Foye sees 30 or more minutes on the floor, he averages 15.4 points, 3.6 rebounds and ...

The Washington Wizards were supposed to be the surprise team of the NBA this season, but after double-digit losses against the Cavaliers, Hawks, and Pacers, there is no surprise left. Injuries are once again the biggest obstacle the Wizards have had to overcome. The veteran presence and excellent production of Antawn Jamison has been sorely missed, and the recent injuries to Mike Miller and Caron Butler have complicated the starting ...

In their victories, the Wizards have looked impressive. In their losses, the Wizards have looked lost. Same old Wizards, but just a few new faces. Perhaps I am selling the Wizards a bit short so early in the season, but their play hasn't left much room for unbridled joy. After their season-opening win on the road against a formidable Mavericks team, the Wizards have failed to follow up with another quality ...

The blog has gone silent, the bold predictions have not been made, the echoes of "Hibachi" and "Quality Shot" do not resonate in the Verizon Center anymore. The Wizard formerly known as Agent Zero has been silenced. The Washington Wizards haven't been the same since losing Gilbert Arenas at the end of the 2006-2007 season and for most of the last two seasons. Now Arenas is back in action, the Wizards ...

Coming into the 2009-2010 season, it was said that the success of the Washington Wizards would be dependent on depth and the health of their key players. Depth isn't an issue thus far, but two games into the season, injuries are slowly piling up. Antawn Jamison suffered a shoulder injury in a preseason game and will be out until late November. The Wizards made due without him against the Mavericks, leaving Dallas ...

Since joining the Washington Wizards in 2005, Andray Blatche has been consistently inconsistent both on and off the court. If it isn't his poor work ethic that bothers fans, it is his inability to stay out of legal trouble. With all of his critics front and center for the start of the NBA season, Blatche summarily silenced them by showing up big against the Mavericks. Whenever Blatche's name showed up in a ...
