Today's hot Wizards reads:
- Believe it or not, the Wizards are only five games out of the playoffs in the East, which tells you everything you need to know about the state of the conference. Maybe it's no so farfetched for the Wizards to go on a run. [David Aldridge]
- John Wall grew as a player over these past two games. Now, the learning continues. [HoopSpeak]
- Steve Buckhantz says the "DAGGER" he unleashed last night was a relieved dagger. [Steinberg]
- Deron Williams was really impressed with John Wall after the game. [Brian Jackson, CSN Washington]
- A completely obvious argument that the Wizards, though they are bad, sometimes do good things. This of course means one thing: it's a Tracee Hamilton column. [Tracee Hamilton]
- On Andray Blatche's excellent game, his dream and what it means going forward, featuring video of the chase down block. [Truth About It]
- Speaking of dreams, what if every other Wizard had a dream like Blatche did the other night? [Bethlehem Shoals, Fanhouse]
- An argument that Ernie Grunfeld's time in Washington D.C. has run its course. I'm no Ernie fan, and I'm not wild about him leading this team into the future, but I think a lot of these objections are oversimplifications. [Momentum Three]
- An argument that the Wizards need to start losing for the betterment of their future. This, too, strikes me as an oversimplification. [Ben Standig]
- A hilarious Al Thornton .gif and some thoughts on the turning point in the Toronto game. [Truth About It]
- The Wizards rank 27th in Tom Ziller's power rankings. [SBNation]
- Well played, Washingtonian.
