Steven Adams Offers Bradley Beal Swift Kick To The Dick And Balls

In the third quarter of tonight’s Wizards-Thunder game, Bradley Beal went up for a rebound and came down with a direct kick to the dick and balls from Steven Adams. Said kick did not exactly look like a natural act, especially not in the slo-mo replay below:...

I Guess It's Time For Our Annual "The Wizards Are Trash" Post

The Cavaliers are imploding; the Bucks fired their coach; the Rockets are tunneling into other teams’ locker rooms to make war; even the Celtics have lost three straight and seem wobbly for the first time since opening night. Stuff’s kind of weird around the NBA right now, is what I am saying....

It Is Disgusting And Unfair That Giannis Is Making Clutch Jumpers Now

Giannis Antetokounmpo put up another absurd Greek Freak line Saturday night in a Bucks road victory over the Wizards: 34 points on 17 shots, 12 rebounds, seven assists, a couple steals, and a block. That’s the third time this season he’s put up at least 34 points on better than 70 percent shooting, ...

Matthew Dellavedova Ejected After Taking Down Bradley Beal

Tonight’s Bucks-Wizards game is a tight one, but Milwaukee is finishing it out without guard Matthew Dellavedova after the Australian earned a flagrant 2 ejection for demolishing Bradley Beal. He is fortunate the official punishment is all that he suffered....

Late Clock Error Absolutely Hoses The Wizards In Los Angeles

The John Wall-less Washington Wizards took on the Blake Griffin- and Patrick Beverley-less Clippers in Los Angeles today, in a game that managed to be pretty fun even with roughly a quarter of its normal star wattage. The Clippers dominated the first half, but Bradley Beal came alive in the second h...

It's Better When Bradley Beal Just Shoots A Lot

I don’t know exactly what Bradley Beal had been trying to do in the five consecutive games the Wizards played without John Wall prior to last night’s visit to the Blazers in Portland. The Washington Post’s Candace Buckner has it that he was trying to create shots for others in the absence of one of ...

Oh Great, Now John Wall's Knee Is An Issue, This Is Just Fucking Great

The top of the NBA’s Eastern Conference is a little deeper than most observers expected it to be before the season. The Celtics are kicking everyone’s ass. The Pistons are good. The Cavs are becoming good. The Raptors are their usual good selves. Teams like the Pacers and 76ers and Heat and Bucks an...

John Wall Has The Nutmegging Of The Night

There are 11 games on tonight’s NBA schedule, several of which have yet to begin and none of which is yet even into the second half, but I still feel quite confident proclaiming this John Wall masterpiece in transition as the nutmegging of the night, because goddamn this is good:...

LeBron James Devoured The Noisy Wizards

The context for LeBron’s 57-point masterpiece last night is something I, a devoted Wizards fan, would prefer to ignore—the Wizards spent portions of the spring and an interview with ESPN’s The Jump chirping that the Cavs ducked them in last season’s playoffs, and went so far as to say that they, the...

Relax, Man

Bradley Beal And Draymond Green Avoid Suspensions For Their Firm Embrace

The NBA today announced that Bradley Beal has been fined $50,000 for his intense hugging of Draymond Green, while Green has been fined $25,000 for hugging back. Kelly Oubre was also fined, for actions related to socking his teammate right in the back of the damn head:...

Please Do Not Punch John Wall's Brain Stem Again, Kelly Oubre

The fight last night between Draymond Green and Bradley Beal was mostly two guys hugging each other very hard, first in a standing position, and later while laying on the ground. But that doesn’t mean there were no punches landed! No, indeed, here is a very strong overhand left from young Kelly Oubr...

Draymond Green, Bradley Beal Brawl [Update]

Tonight’s much-ballyhooed Wizards-Warriors matchup got pugilistic late in the first half as Draymond Green and Bradley Beal got into a mega-fight that resulted in Green walking off the court with a torn jersey and an ejection due to a second technical foul. Beal was ejected as well....

Now Lonzo Ball Has John Wall To Deal With

We’ve already seen the impact of LaVar Ball’s tryhard dad-bluster in the way his son was treated on the court by Patrick Beverley, but it seemed unfair to draw too big an inference from that. That’s because Patrick Beverley is, if you want to be nice about it, a particularly feisty brand of point gu...

Scott Brooks's Acting Helped Earn Nikola Jokic A Technical Foul<em></em>

With the Nuggets down five toward the end of last night’s game against the Wizards, Jamal Murray canned a three to make it a one-score game. As the Nuggets walked back to their bench following a Wizards timeout, Nikola Jokic grazed Scott Brooks with his elbow. Brooks immediately whirled around as if...

Marcus And Markieff Morris Found Not Guilty In Assault Trial

Marcus and Markieff Morris were acquitted of aggravated assault today, more than two years after they were first charged with helping to beat up a former acquaintance outside a high school basketball game. ...

John Wall Is Not Letting This 2K Rating Out Of His Teeth

It started with 2K Sports tweeting out screenshots from NBA 2K18 that included the overall ratings of the players depicted. Here is our man John Wall’s edition:...

Actually 2017 Is Very Good, John Wall Signed His Max Extension

Rejoice, my good friends, for the mighty John Wall, in his profound wisdom, has signed a 4-year, $170 million contract extension with the Washington Wizards. We have come through dark times indeed, but at last we are delivered to a better day. Whew! ...

Nick Young Makes Perfect Sense On The Warriors

The most whimsical and doomed NBA teams in recent memory were those Washington Wizards squads between 2008 and 2012 that featured Gilbert Arenas pooping in teammates’s shoes, JaVale McGee fucking up all over the court, and Nick Young pulling up and laying bricks about 20 times a game. Thanks to the ...

Should You Ever Feel Sorry For D.C. Sports Teams?

This was a normal spring for D.C. sports teams, with the Capitals choking away a 1-seed and the Wizards serving as early-round filler for the Eastern Conference. No D.C. sports team has made the conference/league finals in nearly two decades, and no D.C. team has won a title since 1991. But should t...
