The Return Of The Grievous Point Guard

If I may, for a second, get personal, I would like to announce that I regret one particular post I published over the summer. That would be the piece in which I argued that the Wizards would rise from the injury ashes and be the league’s most improved team. We’re still early in the season, but believe me, y’all, the Wizards ain’t improved anything.

Ziller outlines the disaster in DC. I feel like Haywood gets it. I kind of want to see him get out of there. Zero on the other hand, is rapidly turning into the Gram Parsons of 00′s NBA. Moments of brilliance, tremendous potential, always on the cusp, winds up (metaphorically) having his corpse stolen from an airport and cremated at the Joshua Tree. Sounds about right.

I still look at this squad on paper and ask “How can they possibly be this bad?!” Then I watch their games and it all makes sense. They’re desperately incomplete. Everything they do, they seem to do halfway. Defense, offensive excution, running the break, spacing, everything is part way.
