The Washington Wizards play the Portland Trail Blazers today. Tip off is at 6 p.m. ET. Go Wizards.
I had a good chuckle when social media went off about Alexander Ovechkin taking his first defensive zone face-off ths season despite the Capitals having played 73 games this season. It's not like Ovechkin has ever been up for a Selke Award in his career, and I don't think anyone would put him on the ice in the dying seconds of a game while up a goal. His talents are scoring goals, not stopping them, but Elliotte Friedman's 32 Thoughts article published on Sportsnet's website yesterday got me t...

Teams in the NHL’s Eastern Conference playoff race are starting to get into single digits for remaining games this season. The race is on for the highly competitive spot above the playoff line.

The Portland Trail Blazers will look to bounce back from an ugly, costly Friday night loss to the Dallas Mavericks when another lottery-bound team visits the Moda Center Sunday afternoon. The Washington Wizards make their lone visit to Portland this season having lost 17 of their past 18 games, but don’t expect the Blazers to […]
Washington general manager Adam Peters set out to overhaul the oldest roster in the NFL this offseason – and he did a miraculous job in doing just that.

The Washington Wizards are in the midst of a really bad stretch — they lost 17 (yes, one seven) games out of their last 18… But they did just win this past week — if you like that as a silver lining — but, it was against the lowly Utah Jazz… Game Info When: Sunday, […]
If it was not already obvious, Paul Toboni is going to make a lot of moves this season. The latest one just happened, when he traded for Curtis Mead of the White Sox. Mead is an Australian infielder who split time between first base, second base and third base with the White Sox last year. […]
There was no coming back again for Luka Dončić. After already having his 16th technical foul rescinded once during the team’s recent road trip, lightning did not strike twice in the same place. On Saturday, the NBA announced a one-game suspension for Luka for receiving his 16th technical foul against the Nets on Friday night. […]

[…]
When the Wizards played the Spurs in late December, Jamir Watkins spent a bunch of time guarding Victor Wembanyma. Wemby faces physical, dogged defenders who get up under him all the time. Watkins seemed to present a new challenge. The Wizards’ second round rookie mirrored Wemby’s lanky dribble and looked ready to rocket into the […]
Go get ‘em, Cade.
After a great win on Opening Day, Blake Butera and the Nats will look to clinch a series win against the Cubs. It will be tough though, as the Cubs have had a lot of success against today’s starter Miles Mikolas. The Nats will also be without the services of one of their best players. […]
