  • The Wizards are on a bit of a roll and will look to keep it going tonight against the visiting Bobcats. [CSN Washington]
  • The Wiz will be going for their first four-game winning streak since December 2007 and a season-sweep of Memphis Charlotte. [Washington Examiner]
  • Winning five of their past seven games has the Wizards growing closer as teammates and thinking about making Jordan Crawford's goal of a 20-win season a reality. [Washington Post]
  • The final quarter against the Heat gave Wiz fans more reason to hope that John Wall and Nene can develop into a deadly pick-and-roll combo. [CSN Washington]
  • Crawford may have had an off shooting night against the Heat, but his jersey made a big contribution by dislocating Dwyane Wade's left index finger. [Washington Post]
  • As far as Dan Steinberg can tell, Saturday was just the second time the Wiz, Caps and Nats all won on the same day. [D.C. Sports Bog]
  • Some Wizards argued after Wednesday's win over the Bucks that Crawford's sprained ankle actually made him more effective. [Truth About It]
  • James Straton offers a new nickname for Kevin Seraphin given that the second-year player is 11th in the NBA in attempted hook shots and only one other player makes them at a higher rate. [Wiz of Awes]
  • So Ron Artest (I refuse to refer to him by his ridiculous "legal" name) hauled off and elbowed James Harden square in the head yesterday for absolutely no reason. Artest obviously has a reputation for being volatile on the court, but it's been awhile since he has has done anything like this. Still, his history, plus the fact that Harden is likely to miss time with a concussion, means a lengthy suspension is likely coming for Artest. [SB Nation]
