Wizards Insider: October 22, 2006 - October 28, 2006
Five days until Cleveland
You readers posted some interesting thoughts on the Etan Thomas/Brendan Haywood issue after I posted yesterday's blog. At this point, Coach Eddie Jordan still hasn't officially named a starter for Wednesday's opener at Cleveland. He'll only say that he has a decision in mind but doesn't want to fill...

Is Dwyane Wade the Best in the NBA?
I just finished reading the latest GQ with Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade on the cover (my wife is a big fan of the photo; me, not so much), the Sports Illustrated article with Wade on the cover with LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony, and another article on how Wade...

Wiz get back to work
Before I get started, has anyone else noticed the uncanny resemblence between my fellow blogger Dan Steinberg and Sam Cassell? I was pondering this today as Dan was doing his thing after practice today. On to Wiz biz. I spoke with Coach Eddie Jordan and a few of the...

Minnesota, 2007 NBA Champs?!
You know how every year at the all-star game, we talk about the players who were snubbed, how the fans often get it wrong when they elect the starters for popularity over actual production. We cry about how Yao Ming beat out Shaquille O'Neal (back when he played in Los...

Wiz look to the opener

Live from Auburn Hills
Well, I'm here in D-town and as expected, the place is crazy about those Tigers. The Palace is always the loudest venue in the NBA but the folks who run the place aren't expecting too many screaming fans tonight. Not with the Tigers and Cardinals getting underway for the...

Wiz finish preseason tonight
Ivan here in shockingly cold Atlanta. Thought I'd put together a blog entry before catching a flight to Detroit for tonight's final preseason game. The Wiz won 110-105 last night in what turned out to be one of the most entertaining preseason games I've seen in a long time....

Preseason Isn't Completely Worthless
It's that time of year when most teams still feel pretty optimistic because everybody is still officially unbeaten until next week. Bottom-feeders believe they will make the playoffs, middle-of-the-pack teams think they are championship contenders and championship contenders try to deflect the attention elsewhere. Well, it's a good thing the...
