\"Ain't No Luck\"
The Washington Wizards have had a terrific stretch of games recently — this is their best stretch of the last couple seasons, with both offense and defense clicking—most of the time. Not in their last game against the hot Timberwolves where the old and defense-less Wizards showed their ugly face again. Can they turn things […]
The Washington Wizards have had a terrific stretch of games recently — this is their best stretch of the last couple seasons, with both offense and defense clicking. They even just had a couple winning streaks! Sure, they’re just two-win streaks, but, after sporting the worst record in the league just a few weeks ago, […]
Early in the Wizards’ win over the Brooklyn Nets, a thought popped to mind for the first time this season (and probably last season too): The Wizards are better than these guys. It surely helped that Michael Porter Jr. — the Nets best offensive player — and Nic Claxton — their best defender — were […]
Going into this one, the Wizards were riding one of their best stretches of the past several seasons. They had just beat the Bucks in Milwaukee with a CJ McCollum buzzer-beater, they’ve won four of their last seven, and three of their last four games. With a 119-99 win over the Brooklyn Nets, make that […]

After opening the season with a 3-20 record for the third straight year, the Washington Wizards are playing their best basketball of this rebuild. The Wizards are 5-4 over their last nine games, with wins over the Milwaukee Bucks, Memphis Grizzlies, Indiana Pacers and Toronto Raptors — three of which coming on the road. Before […]
Happy New Year! The Washington Wizards closed out 2025 with a fun and somewhat unexpected road win against Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks. They squeaked out the 114-113 win despite going nearly six minutes of the fourth quarter without scoring a field goal, and despite Antetokounmpo getting a decent look on a buzzer beater […]
IT IS MIDNIGHT IN WASHINGTON! HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE, AND WELCOME TO 2026! First, I hope that all of you are enjoying a safe and happy start to a new year. Don’t worry about setting all the New Year’s Resolutions just yet. That’s something you can worry about next week when you are back at […]
The Washington Wizards closed out 2025 with a bang in a 114-113 thriller victory over the Milwaukee Bucks at Fiserv Forum. CJ McCollum capped off what was one of the most enjoyable team-wide performances of the year. The Wizards needed a stop trailing 113-112 with under 30 seconds left in the ballgame. After Alex Sarr […]

Before the Christmas holiday began in full earnest, TrillBroDude, SB Nation’s feed administrator, wrote a quick post for you all to chime in on. The Feed post was inspired by a piece Shams Charania of ESPN wrote. NBA teams were discuss in various proposal to modify the draft. The lesser extremes included limiting “protected draft […]

Yesterday, I wrote a list of things I would like to see the Washington Wizards accomplish in 2026. Today, I will do the same thing, but for the Washington Mystics. Here are some of the things I would like to see the team do: What accomplishments would you like to see the Mystics make in […]
The Wizards’ defensive game plan against the Phoenix Suns was straightforward: make life tough for Devin Booker, and make Someone Else generate offense. The plan worked — Booker needed 23 shots to score 22 points and produced an offensive rating (individual points produced per possession used x 100) of just 97 (league average is 115.8). […]
The Washington Wizards came into this one riding their first win streak (two straight victories) in more than nine months. The Suns were having one of their better weeks of the season, with three straight wins (against the Lakers, and then twice against the Pelicans). So something had to give. Here were the starting fives […]

Happy Monday everyone! It is Dec.. 29, 2025 and we have just three more days left until we ring in 2026. With that in mind, let’s talk about how this could relate to the Washington Wizards specifically. I’ll have a different post for the Mystics. Calendar years don’t perfectly align with NBA seasons. After all, […]
In one of the more persistent Wizards trends of the past few decades, the team did something fun, interesting or meaningful when I was otherwise occupied and unable to watch or respond. Over the years, the Wizards have made signs, trades, or other major personnel moves (front office and coaching staff included) when I’ve been […]
The Washington Wizards have had a a good couple games recently — this is truly their best stretch of the season, with both offense and defense clicking. They even just had their first winning streak! Well, just 2 consecutive wins, but, hey, after sporting the worst record in the league just a short week or […]
The Washington Wizards played another solid game at home, and have now for the first time this season won in consecutive games! Even better, they have won four of their last seven. They now have seven wins for the season, and things are looking much better than just a fortnight ago. Above everything, the Wizards […]

Yesterday, we talked about one theme that stood apart with the Washington Wizards, specifically roster turnover. Today, we’ll do the same with the Washington Mystics. The Mystics, like the Wizards, ultimately have the same superboss, Monumental Basketball President Michael Winger. Winger was brought on in May 2023 to lead the organization, but primarily handled the […]
Hard to believe, but the Washington Wizards Are no longer the worst team in the league, at least record-wise. They now sit at 14th in the East, with 6 wins! That means they have doubled their W total in the last 2 weeks or so, winning 3 of their last 6 games! And, they have […]
The year 2025 is coming to a close in less than a week. And yesterday’s Washington Wizards win got me thinking for a second because they beat the Toronto Raptors soundly, 138-117 with Kyshawn George having a big night. Back on Jan. 1, 2025, the Washington Wizards hosted the Chicago Bulls and won, 125-107. It […]
The Washington Wizards played a true team game and blew open a close game with a fourth quarter onslaught to beat the Toronto Raptors, 138-117, and earn their sixth win of the season. The Wizards rode red hot offense and not completely bad defense to an 11-point lead at halftime. The Raptors sliced the lead […]
