Our long Nation’s Capital nightmare is over as the Washington Wizards have defeated the Toronto Raptors 93 to 78. The Wiz were the last NBA team to get a win this season, and ended an eight game losing streak.
As bad as the Wizards are, I’m perversely jazzed at potentially getting in on the ground floor of something that will eventually be on the way up. This may arguably be the worst pro team I’ve ever tracked in my 30+ years of following the NBA. Even worse than the 1998 post-Jordan Chicago Bulls. Give Washington a few more lottery picks, dump the riff raff, and playoffs “here we come again”. The Wiz are my little side fling, to complement my mainstay this year the 2012 now-Derrick Rose Bulls.
The Tebowcracy, however, continues.
