Morning brew, weekend edition

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 12:55:39 +0000

There was plenty of offense Friday night on both sides (69 combined points for the Wizards' big three; 35 points by District native Kevin Durant). But that doesn't make up for how poor the Wizards looked on defense. Just when it seems like the offense is showing signs of life and Gilbert Arenas is taking better care of the ball (only 5 turnovers total the last two games), the defense allows a season high for points while the Thunder shoots 52.4 percent from three and 53 percent overall. Michael Lee delves into all this in his late-night postgame thoughts. The Wizards have to shake it off quickly because they have to play at San Antonio on Saturday. Mike Jones of The Washington Times was also on hand. We wonder if the headline writer had this little Garth Brooks ditty on the brain when piecing that together. Here's the recap from

Thunder 127, Wizards 108

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 05:22:22 +0000

Whose fault is it now? Who is going to have to take the brunt of the criticism for this 3-8 start? The Wizards had an easy target last season, placing the blame on their miserable start with a group of not-ready-for-prime-time players because Gilbert Arenas and Brendan Haywood, among others, were out with injuries. But on Friday night, the Wizards sent a veteran lineup, featuring their dream starting five of Arenas, Haywood, Antawn Jamison, Caron Butler and Mike Miller, on the court against the Oklahoma City Thunder and got completely outplayed and outworked. The young guys --- JaVale McGee, Nick Young and Dominic McGuire -- sat for all but the final minute of an embarrassing 127-108 loss. The Wizards never led at any point in the game and allowed three players on the Thunder to score 25 or more points, including Kevin Durant, the local kid who scored a

Wizards (3-7) at Thunder (6-6)

Wizards starters: Gilbert Arenas, Mike Miller, Caron Butler, Antawn Jamison, Brendan Haywood Thunder: Russell Westbrook, Thabo Sefolosha, Kevin Durant, Jeff Green, Nenad Krstic Line: Thunder by 4. The Wizards are 0-for-Oklahoma City. They've never won at Ford Center, losing to the Thunder, 88-83, last season and twice against the New Orleans Hornets, who spent two seasons in Oklahoma following Hurricane Katrina. And, I know it doesn't count, but they also lost a preseason game against the Los Angeles Lakers here in 2005 in which Eddie Jordan was ejected. Etan Thomas and Brendan Haywood certainly had their history together, but Haywood might want to give Thomas a hug for what he did this summer. Thomas was the only possible holdup on the Wizards' deal with Minnesota last June. By declaring that he wouldn't opt out of the final year of his contract, Thomas cleared the way for Mike Miller and Randy

The Other Side: Oklahoma City Thunder

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:07:51 +0000

The Oklahoma City Thunder had the makings of a disaster at the start of last season, when it won just three of its first 32 games. But the Thunder was a second-half surprise under Coach Scott Brooks, going 20-30 the rest of the way -- including an 88-83 win over the Wizards last March -- and has continued to improve. The Thunder is already 6-6, with wins over Orlando, Miami and San Antonio and it is coming off a 108-94 loss in Orlando on Wednesday. Here's what else you need to know about the Thunder: We don't stink anymore! (AP Photo/J Pat Carter) 1. Folks in Washington already know that Kevin Durant is a budding but low-key star, but few realize that he is also in pursuit of his college degree -- so are Russell Westbrook and fellow D.C. area native Jeff Green.

Can the Wizards be the new Mavericks?

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 20:31:06 +0000

The Washington Wizards are 2-7 and Flip Saunder points out that the Dallas Mavericks had a similar record last season, but turned it around, finished the season with 50 wins and advanced to the second round of the playoffs. After starting last season 2-7, the Mavericks won their next five games against New York, Charlotte, Houston, Memphis and Indiana. The Wizards' next five games are against Cleveland, Oklahoma City, San Antonio, Philadelphia and Miami. So, there isn't any let-up. But they did get some encouraging signs as Randy Foye returned to practice on Tuesday, joining Antawn Jamison, who practiced for the second time this season. The Wizards' core group is finally intact for the first time since the regular season began. "Ooh, it felt good," Foye said of the mood in practice. "You could see the bounce and the pep in everybody¹s step, like, 'Here we go. Everybody's healthy. Let's

Was it really only two weeks ago that the Wizards were 2-1? Yes, yes it was. The losing streak reached six Saturday night as the Wizards were unable to hold off the Pistons down the stretch, falling 106-103 at Verizon Center. The Wizards are now 2-7 with no letup anytime soon. Washington next faces Cleveland at home, then travels to Oklahoma City and San Antonio. Michael Lee lays it all out on an eventful, though ultimately frustrating, night for the Wizards in his postgame thoughts.
