Healthy Wizards Have Their Way with Cavs

“What’s going on in here?” A freshly showered Gilbert Arenas calls out to the packed home locker room, following the Wizards 17-point victory over Cleveland on Wednesday, a contest that snapped a six-game losing streak. “So many people in here,” he says, gesturing toward the horde of sound bite hungry reporters.

“There were only about four of you around when we were losing!” Tattooed torso exposed, Arenas turns to center Brendan Haywood, whose locker sits second-closest to the showers, and asks, “You ever seen so many people in here? They care now!” And with good reason.

In what had been a winless November, the Wizards dropping a half dozen straight games by an average of over 10 points each, injuries kept piling up, as did locker room frustrations. The streak appeared to have an elongated future in the second quarter as Cleveland stretched their lead into the high teens.

It’s a statement that is easy to believe. Standing just 5-foot-5 on an NBA scale that is known to add as many as two inches to any player’s height, and weighing 133 pounds, the second-smallest player in NBA history has struggled to find an NBA city to call home despite highly efficient, as well as...

Depleted Wizards Sign Boykins

In the offseason leading up to the season there was a big if with the Washington Wizards. They could contend if they avoid injury. So far, they have not and they scrambled to add help to what was once a deep position by signing guard Earl Boykins.

"Earl is a proven veteran point guard who will provide us with leadership and stability off of the bench," President Ernie Grunfeld said...
