SAN ANTONIO | Two road games, two dysfunctional performances and another new low for the Washington Wizards. A night after getting run out of the gym by the Oklahoma City Thunder because of a sorry excuse for a defensive showing, the Wizards rode into San Antonio and actually did a decent job defending the hosting Spurs. But an ice cold offense crippled Washington in an 106-84 loss. On Friday, the...
I've decided to take Lauri's advice and stop being such a Negative Nancy. I'm going to calm down and not panic for at least another 10 games. Here's hoping for a win. Why the change in attitude, Cap? Well, it's my prerogative to change my mind (we females are tricky like that), and it's also my duty as a sports fan to overreact and go from the depths of depression to the heights of optimism. Plus,...

No one in the Washington Wizards' locker room is calling Wednesday's 108-91 triumph over the Cleveland Cavaliers a signature win. The team is simply hoping the performance, which snapped a six-game losing streak and marked the season debut of forward Antawn Jamison, can serve as a building block for a turnaround in what has been a trying month. "Right now it's a win, but it's a win against a team...
by Susan Walsh - AP View full size photo » So what's the operative word of the day, one day after the Wizards routed the Cavaliers ? Excitement? Sure, anytime you beat Cleveland, you're excited. LeBron James bugs me more and more every time these two teams play.

One positive moment occurred with just more than a minute remaining in the third quarter. With Cleveland trailing by five points, LeBron began driving towards the basket before pausing and firing a strike to...

Jamison made season debut against LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday night at Verizon Center, and instead of showing the slightest trace of rust, the two-time All-Star put his struggling team on his back and carried...

Instead, the two-time All-Star put his struggling team on his back and carried it to a 108-91 victory in front of a sellout crowd of 20,173 fans. Jamison picked up career double-double...
