Ugly end to preseason
Does the way a team end the preseason matter? I guess we'll all find out Wednesday night when the Wizards open the regular season in Indianapolis because they got smashed tonight by a Toronto Raptors team that was playing on back-to-back nights but still managed to play with more...

Arenas out, Pesh to play tonight in Toronto
Checking in from one of my favorite cities on the NBA circuit. If you haven't checked out Toronto before, do so. I love the place. Really nice scenery. For the Wizards, tonight is really simple: don't get anyone hurt. Gilbert Arenas will sit out to get an extra day...

Taylor and Massenburg
In a move that wasn't the least bit surprising, the Wizards released guard Donell Taylor and forward-center Tony Massenburg today, leaving the team with 14 players. Taylor, who has been with the team since 2005, played well in the Dallas game but otherwise struggled while Massenburg didn't see much...
