Fun Walk Down Wiz Memory Lane 

Post#1 » by W. Unseld » Tue Feb 4, 2014 10:18 pm

This author expresses my surprising, irrational, makes no sense from a basketball standpoint sentiments exactly:

The place was Washington, D.C. Gilbert Arenas had just scored 32 points to lead the Wizards to a victory over the New Jersey Nets. The players, both in the sense of the athletes taking part in the game and the actors in this historically significant American drama, included the following: Chris Douglas-Roberts, Yi Jianlian, and Rafer Alston for the Nets. The Wizards? Dressing for the Wiz that night were the aforementioned Agent Zero, JaVale McGee, Andray Blatche, Nick Young, and Randy Foye. That’s the coach-killer Beatles right there.

"There’s something happening in D.C. The Wizards are not quite a good team yet, but they’re learning how to do it. In the past 10 days they’ve beaten the Warriors, Thunder, Blazers, and should’ve beaten a Tony Parker–less Spurs team.

This is the pre-bandwagon stage, where not everyone’s caught on yet, but anyone who’s watching the Wizards can’t help but come away intrigued about where all this goes.

They still have the curses and awful management, but compare that loss last night with what happened against the Spurs last year. Compare the first month of this year with where they are in February. Good things are happening. There’s hope for the future here, and that makes the present more fun than D.C. basketball’s been in years.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve gotta go attack this Randy Wittman voodoo doll and get a face tattoo and pray to my Nene bobblehead. Wizards against the world? WIZARDS AGAINST THE WORLD
