Never Fear, Washington Sports Fans!
Don't cry, guys...the 'Skins are gone (and in a most brutal fashion, BTW) but the Wizards are still going strong. Keep in mind that their star player is still out (and may not be back anytime soon).
Nevertheless: Jamison is becoming synonymous with the term "double-double;" Caron Butler is slowly turning into the undisputed leader on this team; Haywood may just be one of the best ten centers in the East right now; the bench is as solid and energetic as a Wizard's bench has been in years.
They're protecting the ball and barely foul. They're cleaning the boards, getting steals and, of course, putting the ball in the bucket.
Looking at this month's schedule, there's only three teams that can beat these guy the way they're playing: Cleveland, Dallas and Boston. And when you consider that Cleveland may lose their coach, Dallas is 7-8 on the road and Boston still has a shaky PG and a coach who (up til this season) would be on the short list of "Coaches I Wouldn't Call Up for Basketball Advice."
Now I know alot of 'Skins fans who just hibernate after football is done; I know even more who would rather wear a Cowboy jersey than watch an NBA game. But please, can you give these guys a chance? You won't be disappointed. Besides, what else (sports wise) do you have to do?
