YOUR Washington Bullets ARE 23-18 (Really should be 30-11)! If the playoffs started today, the Wiz would be the 5th seed playing the 4th seeded HEAT..

The 2nd half of the season starts now. The Wiz have established an identity of being an anti-clutch team that loses to sub .500 teams regularly but gets up for the top teams. It's been an embarassing season for the reputations of some of the players on this roster while some others have shown improvement.

Scott Brooks has not coached a good first half of the season.

John Wall's return from injury gave this team a spark that's been dimmed the last couple of nights. But he is seemingly rounding into form. Otto Porter who started hot has been underutilized by the coaching staff and his own passiveness. Beal has been the leading scorer but he isn't finishing games the way you'd expect an All-Star guy to do.

The bench has been much better with Sato's defense and ball security, Mike Scott's sharp shooting and effort on defense... and of course, 2015 1st round pick Kelly Oubre making that next step offensively.

The home stand continues with the struggling Magic who are 12-30. The last meeting between these two was a blowout by the Wiz. Will the Wiz continue the Ls to sub .500s?!

Another team that Wall has always killed but I have said that a lot this year only for him to stink it up. The only good thing about this season so far is that it again looks like we should be a 4/5 seed and again the Cavaliers look like they will be a 2/3 seed so we wouldn't have to see them until the ecf. I still have no fear of Toronto or Boston and yes I do know that we can be bounced in the 1st round but I think we will right the ship soon. We better

Yeah, but we now have a color commentator -- Kara Lawson -- who is willing to bring up this sacred cow, speak truth to power, call him out, ask what's that all about?

She went off on a hilarious riff about his hair last time they played. She was mainly focused on pondering a question about whether or not he needed to pull down his car's sun visor when he is driving west at sunset.

The Wizards will win this. They're feeling the heat from the Utah loss and the Steven A. Smith rant. It's one thing when we complain on this board or on BulletsForever about their lack of clutchness, but Smith just called them out on ESPN in a high profile manner. They'll be nationally embarrassed if they lose again to a bad team so quickly. It'll really put the All-Star aspirations of Beal and Wall in doubt.

The only way they lose this is if Orlando is insanely hot from 3-point range and the Wizards are insanely cold.

The hair bugs me because I think it actually impacts his shooting form. The guy is willing to compromise his game just to make a statement on his individuality.

That said, Payton usually matches up with Wall very well. He could be a problem.

Yeah this dude missed a layup because his hair got in his way. John probably look at this dude and be like for real? Can't take him serious Just like the Magic were 6-2 beginning of the year.

Nice start. Moving the ball well on offense.

Of course, they're the 2nd best offense in the league in 1st quarters. The problem is that they tend to abandon the offense later in the game.

The defense is terrible so far. Orlando getting nothing but layups.

The scouting report is out on the Wizards. They don't get back in transition. Teams are pushing the pace.

The Wizards can't defend anyone.

How easy is it to get in the lane against these guys?

Orlando is 11-14 from the floor and 10-10 from the line so far. Pathetic defense. For goodness sake, back off of Payton and give him the 18 footer.
