Mike Kahn on the Wizards

By
Because to see anyone outside the D.C. Area talk about the Wizards is rare:

Looking up, the Wiz is just three games behind the erratic Cavaliers.

Looking down, they are tied for fifth with the Raptors and just a game ahead of the red-hot Sixers.

Nonetheless, with little but mouth coming from Arenas all season, and Butler struggling since very early February with hip problems and now the hamstring, Jordan’s coaching job has to be considered one of the best in the East. Antawn Jamison has been special all season, playing in all 74 games, averaging 21.5 points and 10.2 rebounds, while Brendan Haywood and DeShaun Stevenson have been solid while averaging in double figures. In the process, Jordan has also developed a decent bench with youngsters Andray Blatche, Roger Mason, Darius Songaila and Nick Young.

In the stretch run and looking forward to the playoffs, the Wizards could be very dangerous if they somehow get healthy. It’s impossible to distinguish between fact and fiction coming from Arenas’ mouth – even the latest about how he’ll take a pay cut this summer in his new contract so Jamison can get what he deserves – so we don’t know if he’s going to play Wednesday, or not at all this season.


I know it's a sports cliche (especially in basketball) to say a team would be lethal if not for the injury bug, but in the Wizards' case, Kahn is right. Not having a healthy roster all season has been their biggest setback.

For being DC Comic's most recognizable female character, WW has been given the cinematic shaft for a long time. We've seen two incarnations of Lois Lane and countless Bat-groupies, but not one decent pitch for the Amazon in the big screen. And we're talking about a character who made armored underwear cool waaay before anyone heard of Princess Leia. So here's one humble man's suggestion for any future casting of the Wonder Woman movie. I really have three rules for casting: she has to be at least 5'10", under 45 and attractive enough to pass for a princess. Sandrine Holt - Age: 36, Height: 5'10", Relevant Movie/TV Roles: Resident Evil: Apocalypse & Mutant X Pros : She's played both a (doomed) reporter and a person with superpowers, so if she can play both, she's a shoe-in. Plus she's probably the least-known actress on this list, so they can two movies out of her cheap. Cons : While D.C. isn't as star-crazy as Marvel when it co...

5 Actresses Who Deserve a Bigger Break

Being the avid movie watcher that I am, I've noticed that more than one talented actress has been passed over for other talent. And by "talent," I mean, "sex tapes that 'accidentally' made it to the Internet." Well, here's one man's humble attempt to rectify the situation. The following ladies are not only talented, but beautiful. Hollywood: get off your ass and give these women more roles. DANIELLE FISHEL Noticeable TV/Movie Appearances: Boy Meets World; both National Lampoon's Dorm Dazes The delightful Ms. Fishel has the distinction of having the weirdest named ever associated with a smart-yet-hot character (or maybe I'm the only one who has a problem saying "Topanga!" whilst in the throes of passion) as well as participating in the death of the National Lampoon Series (I personally thought it died with Chevy Chase's career; who knew?). If you were to use her IMBD page as a reference, the only real fault people seem to hav...
