Magical Pixels, Wizards vs. Celtics: At a loss? So is Randy Wittman.

They Wizards botched another (ANOTHER!!) chance at a winning record against the Celtics. Is Washington just building up to the most elaborate April Fools trick ever or something?

Alright, seriously, what's going on? They have got to be messing with us, right? Right??

Yeesh, what a way to reach the halfway mark of the season, eh? The Washington Wizards laid a stinker at home Wednesday, losing 113-111 to a Boston Celtics team missing Avery Bradley and resting Rajon Rondo, blowing their fourth chance at eclipsing .500 this season. John Wall notched his second career triple-double, but he also had six turnovers and missed 20 shots, so whatever. Randy Wittman said after the game he was "at a loss." Welcome to the club, coach. Ugh.

Now at 20-21. the Wizards face a four-game West Coast swing that includes stops against the Warriors and Clippers, before they come home to face the Thunder, Trailblazers and Spurs in consecutive games.

But first up are the Suns on Friday night. I mean, how good could the Suns be anyway?...oh god.
