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 […]
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 […]

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 […]
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 […]

The Washington Wizards scored a second straight victory on Thursday in a 109-99 win over the Milwaukee Bucks at Capital One Arena.

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 […]

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 […]

The Wizards lost again, this time to the Charlotte Hornets. It was their ninth straight defeat, and they’re back in last place.

In a classic dog days of the NBA season kind of game, the Wizards lost to the Denver Nuggets, 107-97. It was Washington’s eighth straight loss, and it was a slog to watch. Both teams seemed tired and low energy. The Nuggets had something of an excuse — they played Tuesday in Los Angeles and […]
