Support your team. If your team didn't make it to the post-season, there's the Draft to look forward to, the bottom 14 teams are bound to have higher picks for the NBA Draft this coming June. And remember, there's always next year. Just like me, I support the Wizards. With Agent Zero back in the lineup, and Coach Flip Saunders will be on the sideline calling the shots, there's no other way but up for my Wizards, who finsihed with the worst record in the Eastern Conference, at 19-63, also tying the franchise record for its worst record all-time.

God bless you guys! Stay safe! Peace out! The Wizard was here... :)
