The Washington Wizards have seen their season, filled with great expectations slip right from under them. Their star guard's knee injury has changed the whole playoff picture for them. He's out 2-3 months, done for the season. This is truly disappointing for the Wizards. Once ahead of the Heat they now find themselves trailing in second in the division as a less favorable seed. Arenas was having another sensational year, averaging around 28 ppg with 6 apg.
No longer are the Wiz without Arenas, but also Caron Butler went on the shelf with a broken bone in his hand this month. Coach Eddie Jordan had made real good progress with this team and now look what happens? Antawn Jamison is the sole veteran leader left to salvage the remainder of the season. His performances alone won't be enough for Washington. Agent Zero as he calls himself, couldn't have caught a worse break. I guess the Wizards will have to count their losses and look forward to 2008...better luck next year.
