The 2024 Olympics aren't coming to Washington D.C.

1. USOC selects Boston for 2024 Olympic bid

Thursday night, the US Olympic Committee announced Boston beat out Los Angeles, San Francisco and Washington D.C. as the city they will use in their bid to host the 2024 Summer Olympics. The decision is a tough blow for Wizards owner Ted Leonsis, who was vice-chairman of committee looking to bring the games to the nation's capital.

Dan Steinberg has more on Ted's reaction on missing out on the Olympics. Here's the statement the group released after the announcement was made:

Last year, D.C. Olympic Committee Chairman Russ Ramsey suggested a successful bid could lead to a new stadium for the Wizards and Capitals. Now that we know the Olympics aren't coming, it will be interesting to see when and how Ted Leonsis brings up Plan B for how to replace or upgrade the Verizon Center down the road.

2. Wizards get another national TV game

NBA announces Spurs-Wizards in DC Tuesday will be on NBA TV.

Hopefully it goes a little better than their first meeting this season.

3. Mike Breen excited to call tonight's Wizards-Bulls game on ESPN

It's nice to see people getting excited to cover Wizards games, but we can't help but wonder how much of Breen's excitement is about not having to cover the Knicks.

4. Wizards vs. Bulls tonight

Thanks to the Hornets taking down the Raptors in Toronto last night, the winner of tonight's Wizards-Bulls game takes sole possession of second place in the Eastern Conference. This should be a pretty exciting game, but for some reason, we get the feeling Nikola Mirotic is a bit worried.

Tip off is set for 8 p.m. at the Verizon Center. You can watch on ESPN, Comcast SportsNet or listen on 99.1 WNEW.
