After decisively winning the opening game of this Eastern Conference semi-final series against the Indiana Pacers, Wizards Nation rejoiced, Charles Barkley gloated, and the initial Wizards bandwagon that had warped in an entire populace of previously disinterested fans had essentially become a fleet of charter buses.

Shaq wanted to praise Marcin Gortat for having such a strong first half in Game 5 of the Washington Wizards’ Eastern Conference semifinal series against the Indiana Pacers on Tuesday, so he tried to come up with something that would touch on the center’s Polish roots. Instead of using his typical “BBQ chicken alert” to […]...

Apparently, some more perceptive (obsessive?) Washington Wizards fans have made it their responsibility to keep an eye on the condition of Marcin Gortat’s armpits, as one reader of Bullets Forever noticed that the burly center appears to on some occasions have a conspicuous lack of body hair sprouting out of them. Just had a commenter […] The post Wizards center Marcin Gortat sometimes shaves his armpits,...

Grantland’s Zach Lowe examines the bright future of the Washington Wizards. The Wiz have some contract decisions to make on two key rotation players; Trevor Ariza and Marcin Gortat. The Wiz may need to retain Bird rights on Gortat and Ariza so they can outbid suitors who would offer those players the midlevel exception. That wouldn’t preclude Washington from going under the cap. The Wiz could keep...
THE GAME TURNED WHEN… Actually, it turned several times. The Wizards took control of the game in the first half with a 29-11 second quarter that put them up by 17 at the break. However, as they have all series, the Wizards came out listless in the third quarter and lost all but one point of that lead, as the Pacers outscored Washington 33-17. But it was the domination of Paul George, who scored 28...
The Washington Wizards had the type of epic meltdown on Sunday night that typically costs a team its season.

John Wall is back to being himself in Game 4′s first half against the Indiana Pacers. To top things off, Wall took a rebound almost the length of the court with time winding down in the first half, puts the ball behind his back as he drives to the hoop and lays it in just before time expires to give the Wizards a 55-37 half time lead!

Playoff introductions aren’t supposed to be the top-down-on-the-convertible cruise that the first six games of this postseason were for Bradley Beal and John Wall. But in the past two games against the Indiana Pacers, the Washington Wizards’ back-court duo has finally been forced to go over some potholes. With their team trailing two games to one in the best-of-seven, second-round series, Beal and...
John Wall blamed his eye for his poor shooting in Game 3 The Washington Wizards have been somewhat of a Cinderella story in this year’s NBA playoffs.

However, with that said, shooting hasn’t exactly been a strong point for Wall this postseason. In fact, Wall’s shooting percentage is sitting at...

They gave it back with a historic loss at the Verizon Center on Friday night. In what coach Randy Wittman called a “clunker”, Washington were blown out 85-63 and now trail the Pacers two games to one. The 63 points were the fewest ever scored by the franchise in a game,...
