John Wall
I respect taking the blame for such a close loss. Turnovers can kill you, and really determine who wins or loses a game. But Wall has been spectacular lately, and he truly cannot be blamed at all for the terrible season Washington is having. They fell to 7-27 on the season, and theres not much Wall can do about it. Javale Mcgee is not getting it together, Nick Young is not looking like anything more than an offensive scorer,

Slam Dunk Contest has a white American guy

by

Psst. There’s a white American guy in the Slam Dunk Contest. Houston Rockets forward Chase Budinger was among the four players announced Thursday as participants in the Slam Dunk Contest that will take place on All-Star Saturday night Feb. 25. Budinger is the first white American player entered in the contest since Chris “Birdman” Andersen in 2004 and 2005. That didn’t go so well. Other white American players to participate are Bob Sura (1997), Rex Chapman (1990, 1991), Tom Chambers (1987) and of

Fantasy Spin: Monday Feb. 13

by

It’s my pleasure to be joining Team Sheridan with a daily look at fantasy hoops. The proud owner of Jeremy Lin and Nikola Pekovic in a competitive 20-team league, my specialty is picking up free agents before they get good. Statistics are useful, of course, but they are available to everyone. Other tidbits of information (injuries and rotation shuffles) can be even more valuable in making your roster decisions. The advice dispensed here is rarely going to concern superstars, or consistent

Wizards fire Flip Saunders

by

Another one bites the dust. The news broke today just before noon EST that Flip Saunders has been fired as coach of the Washington Wizards, whose 2-15 record is the NBA’s worst. That improbable victory last week over the Oklahoma City Thunder apparently bought Saunders only one extra week of job security. The news was first reported by Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports. From Woj’s breaking news story: “The Wizards have talked to assistant Randy Wittman about taking over as the interim head

Highlight Performance: Shawn Marion, DAL– With Dirk out, Marion stepped up in a big way Monday Night, posting 29 points, 4 rebounds, and even hit 4-6 shots from long range (Not to mention he has THE weirdest shot I personally have ever seen). After scoring 22 a few nights ago and scoring 14 along

Although his shot is unorthodox, Marion is still producing on a nightly basis.

with 12 rebounds on Saturday, Marion has clearly shown he is the

Bernucca: Should we take the Sixers seriously?

by

Should the Philadelphia 76ers be taken seriously? Here’s why they should: In a season where continuity counts, they have virtually the same roster as last season’s. They have terrific depth to handle a relenteless schedule. They value the basketball. And they have no individual agendas. “They’re a very underrated team,” Milwaukee Bucks center Andrew Bogut said after his team became another double-digit victim earlier this week. “They move the ball well, they’re very well-coached and they showed it.” Here’s why they shouldn’t: They

Fantasy Spin: Thursday, Jan. 12

Highlight Performances: DeMarcus Cousins, SAC– The former 5th overall pick from a year ago has been a tremendous big man as of late. He posted his 4th straight double-double Wednesday Night, and it was a huge one. He scored 21 points, and grabbed 19 boards. Cousins is shaping out to be one of the best centers in the league at a very young age, and seems to have a very bright future; [caption id="attachment_5047" align="alignleft" width="150" caption="Cousins, in just his second year,

Heisler Column: War is hell. Just ask JaVale McGee

by

By Mark Heisler Ask JaVale McGee if war isn’t hell. I’m not sure who else thinks the situation is “definitely critical,” other than the Wizards center and, of course, the press. It’s definitely not the NBA owners, who laughed their rear ends off at McGee’s, uh, candid reporting at last week’s union meeting in Beverly Hills, Calif. Cutting out an hour early, JaVale told a press throng in the lobby of the Beverly Hilton that “some guys ready to stand strong” but noted, “there were,
