Wizards-Bulls (postgame)

A very shaky game throughout for the Wizards. Arenas carried the team, but his teammates didn't provide any help for Washington to sustain the attack by the Bulls. Luol Deng had a great game and the Bulls pulled away in the 4th quarter to win by 15. Duhon was ejected in a controversial loose ball that he and Gilbert both dove for. A controversial no basket by Caron Butler right before the half (the ball appeared to have left his hand before the red light came on).

Washington: 31-22
Chicago: 32-25

Kings-Wizards (postgame)

The Wizards almost blew a 17 point lead to barely win by 3 in a controversial finish. Brad Miller made a great pass 80 feet to John Salmons, whom caught it, turned 180, stepped back, and drained the 3. However, after official review, the basket was waived off because Salmons didn't get it off in 0.7 seconds. The game boiled down to Arenas vs. Artest in first half (Gilbert had 30 by halftime) and Butler/Stevenson vs. Bibby in the second half.

Sacramento: 23-30
Washington: 31-21

Timberwolves-Wizards (postgame)

First game since the All-Star break. Most of the Wizard players look refreshed. Arenas found his shooting back (not his 3 point shooting though) against the TWolves. Blatche had a career high 12 rebounds against KG. KG did his thing, but didn't do enough to help his team win. Stevenson had a good game to help Gilbert.

Minnesota: 25-28
Washington: 30-21

All-Star Wrap Up (Wiz-related)

It is the 3rd quarter of the main game and the West is dominating 105-74 (4:42 to go). The East doesn't have anything tonight. The West shot the ball well early and then just did dunk after dunk to embarrass the East.

Very average shooting game from Arenas. All but 1 shot he took were 3's. I think he made 2 of them. Caron Butler missed all his shots, like 3 or 4 of them.

More Arenas news - he got 2nd again in the 3 point contest. This time he lost to Kapono but ahead of Dirk in the finals.

Mike O'Koran coached the Rookies and they got blown out too. Not a good coaching show by the Wizards on any front.

Wizards-76ers (postgame)

A sloppy game from both sides. Bad shooting from Arenas and Butler. Usually that spells trouble (as evidenced since Jamison's injury), but Iguodala and Andre Miller shot poorly as well. The Wizards bench shockingly came up big for Washington. A double double for Blatche.

Washington: 29-21
Philadelphia: 17-36


Trailblazers-Wizards (postgame)

I missed this game completely. I heard on the radio that it was the Wizards worst game of the season (thus far). Arenas came up 41 points short of his 50 point prediction. I guess the only fan consolation prize are the Wiz Wigs.

Portland: 22-30
Washington: 28-21
