Boston comes out firing on all cylinders from the start to finish, routing Washington  123-101 in Game 5. It was clear from early in the game Washington’s game plan was to focus on Isaiah Thomas and not let him get in rhythm. For the most part they did just that. Thomas finished the game scoring only 18 points on 5... Read More

The hate both teams have for each other was put on display as Washington routs Boston in game three 116-89. Washington had their moments in the first two games of this series that could have turned the whole narrative. Being up 16-0 in Game 1, before ultimately being outscored the rest of the game 99–73 is one thing. Being up by 14... Read More

After trailing 16-0 to start the game, Boston used hot shooting from beyond the arc to defeat Washington 123-111. Due to his sisters funeral, no one would blame Isaiah Thomas if he did not have the best game seeming as the game had a early tip time (1 pm). Not only did Thomas come to play for his team, he led...

The Washington Wizards finished last year with a record of 41-41,  fourth in their division. This season they hope to turn that around and possibly be one of the frontrunners coming out of the Southeast division. They fell short of making the playoffs last year, but as always health is a key in terms of what they may or hope... Read More

But in their place comes Andrew Nicholson, Tomas Satoransky, Ian Mahinmi, Jason Smith and Trey Burke. No, that’s not a murderers row of talent by any standpoint, but it’ll do. For Washington, this was supposed to be the summer of Durant.... Read More
