There was a time when people feared the Washington Wizards. That 23 year period from 1974-1997 when they were called the bullets. At least that's what they told as kids when they wanted to change the name to the Wizards. The only real excitement from a Wizards game was knowing that waiting beneath the court, there was a hockey rink wanting so desperately to be played on. I like to think that basketball courts are there to massage the ice for hockey rinks, since I've personified everything since "Toy Story" came out.
As is to be expected from the Wizards, they have opened the season to two underwhelming losses. One came against a Lebronless Cavaliers squad and the other came against an aged Celtics team, guys who probably remember playing with actual baskets attached to walls. There was a time when I thought the Wizards would be worth my five second attention span (long enough for me to call that foul). During the time of Gilbert Arenas, I can actually admit to watching pro basketball. The only other time was when John Wall was going to lead us into the next generation of Wizards winning streaks, only to break down when he realized he was playing in DC.
I've turned my efforts into trying to turn the Wizards into a hockey affiliate called the Washington Blizzards. They would comarket with any and all local Dairy Queens.Gary Bettman is all on board with me turning a basketball market into a hockey one.
Keep up the good work, Wizards. You are at least providing us with something no other team can. Consistency.
