The Wizards Bought Low on an Aging Superstar — and That’s the Point

In keeping with decades of Wizards tradition, they made a major transaction while I was otherwise occupied. Today, it was meetings and deadlines. In previous years, I’ve been on flights, at business events, or behind the wheel on long drives. My first reaction to the Wizards trading for Anthony Davis: “This is nuts.” Then someone […]

Wizards Let the Kids Learn and the Bench Close Win vs. Kings

The Wizards swarmed defensively in the first half and built a 17-point lead, slacked off enough to give back the entire advantage, and then let the deep bench mob play the entire fourth quarter to escape with a 116-112 victory. If you’re worried about The Tank, yeah — be worried. It was Washington’s 13th win […]

Wizards Obliterated as Lakers Turn Capital One Into Lob City

The Wizards took on the Los Angeles in the hostile road environment of…well…Washington, DC, and got stomped, 142-111. If you’re a Wizards fan — and you probably are if you’re reading this — fire this game into the sun. Shoot into a memory hole. Nothing to see. There’s stuff from this one the Wizards youngsters […]

Wizards vs. Lakers final score: Washington blown out in 142-111 loss

The Washington Wizards lost to the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday night, 142-111 at Capital One Arena. One night after defeating the Milwaukee Bucks, there was certainly optimism about what Washington could do tonight against LA. However, the talent disparity showed. Luka Doncic led the Lakers with a triple double, scoring 37 points, dishing 13 […]

2026 NBA Draft Preview: AJ Dybantsa

I recently wrote that if the Washington Wizards are rewarded with the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, that they should not hesitate to take Kansas freshman guard Darryn Peterson. While I still believe that Peterson should be at the top of the Wizards’ big board, it would not be a disaster if […]

Defense, Boards, and Youth Close It Out as Wizards Beat Bucks

With a 109-99 victory over the spiraling Milwaukee Bucks, the Washington Wizards have their third two-game winning streak of the season. This one was an offensive struggle. Not in the sense that either team played well on offense — more like what the bricklaying did to my basketball sensibilities. The teams combined to miss 55 […]

Wizards vs. Bucks final score: Washington beats Milwaukee again, 109-99

The Washington Wizards scored a second straight victory on Thursday in a 109-99 win over the Milwaukee Bucks at Capital One Arena. The Wiz Kids did their thing with John Wall in attendance for his celebration night. But it wasn’t always pretty. The first quarter was a brickfest for both teams. The Bucks missed seven […]

The WNBA CBA negotiations are still ongoing and at a stalemate

Last week, the WNBA released its 2026 regular season schedule, including the Washington Mystics’. The regular season is supposed to begin in early May. But for now, I haven’t written about it because … technically … there is no 2026 WNBA season until there’s a Collective Bargaining Agreement in place. The WNBA and the WNBPA […]

Wizards Snap Losing Streak Against Avdija and Trail Blazers

The Wizards ended a nine-game losing streak by beating the Portland Trail Blazers, 115-111, in a chippy and kinda entertaining game, despite being nearly devoid of offensive competence. Some of the fun was delivered by the return of Deni Avdija, who’s much improved and might be an All-Star this season. He’s been limited a bit […]
