Wizards Are Bad, But They’re Not Boring

At the halfway point of this truncated NBA campaign, the Washington Wizards have seven wins in 33 games, giving them a lower winning percentage than every team except Charlotte — which is 0-2 against the Wizards.
Thank goodness for Bobcats chairman Michael Jordan, whose excellence as a player is rivaled only by his failure as an executive.
In hindsight, Washington might have been better off if the lockout wiped out the entire season instead of one-fifth. Does the new deal allow teams to bypass the second half and proceed directly to the lottery?
But the Wizards deserve some credit. If a team can’t be great, the least it can do is be interesting, and there’s been no shortage of attention-grabbing moments when Washington plays. The Wizards seem to be mentioned on TNT almost as much as the Miami Heat, even if its flattery versus buffoonery.
Washington doesn’t have any All-Stars on the roster, but it could dominate balloting for an All-Enigma team.
