Way!

With a 26-15 record, the Washington Wizards have surpassed its win total from ALL of last season when they went 25-57. They have the second-best record in the Eastern Conference, have won 11 of their last 13 games, and are 11 games over .500 for the first time in 26 years!

Granted, they benefit from being in the very weak Eastern Conference, and they probably couldn’t get past the Heat or the Pistons in the playoffs, but progress is progress considering their woeful history of being the Clippers East.

In addition to their improved record, it sounds as if they are a decent group of guys who are fun to watch. No more “announced” crowds of 12,000, there actually may be more fans watching the games. Players like Antawn Jamison, Gilbert Arenas, Samaki Walker, Anthony Peeler, and Michael Ruffin get to the gym early every day, work their butts off and play hard every game.

Not only that, if someone were to throw a drink on them, they would go into the stands and attack the actual person who threw the cup.
