          Report: Wizards Fire Eddie Jordan, Hire Wesley Cheeks



          Last season, even without "Agent 0", Gilbert Arenas, the Wizards were able to reach the playoffs with a 43-39 record. This year is completely the opposite. With a healthy Arenas and plethora of young talent, the Wizards have shown a complete lack of heart and desire to compete. The Wizards currently sit at five wins and seventeen losses, good enough for last place in the Eastern Conference.

          The Wizards showed promise earlier this season starting off with a four and four record but since then have struggled miserably only winning one of their last fourteen games, losing their last ten meetings, all but two of them being against below .500 teams.

          As a result, Eddie Jordan has been fired and replaced by Wesley Cheeks. Cheeks is a very defensive minded coach and believes all offenses run through the pressure put on the opposing teams offense. Cheeks likes to push the ball on the break more often that Jordan which is more suitable for a smaller team in the Washington Wizards. With Arenas, Young, Butler, and Jamison all in top condition, the fast break should be able to open up the floor and cause the opposing team to lack on their offensive rebounds in order to get back for the awaiting break.

          Cheeks is only 35 years old making him one of the youngest coaches in the NBA today. Only time will tell how Cheeks will do with this young Wizards team but in all fairness, he can't do any worse.

              Nuggets Blow Out Rockets By 30 At Home

              Quote of the Night:
              "That was simply embarrassing. We were within ten points with six minutes to go and we just gave up. How do you let a lead grow by 20 in a matter of six minutes? The Nuggets are a good team, don't get me wrong, but we are better than that. We need to get a solid few days of practice in before we meet the Kings on the 19th." - Rick Adelman

                        Wafer Challenges Brooks for Starting Job



                        Houston, Texas - In a scrimmage earlier this week in practice, Kyle Lowry sat out with a sprained wrist. Lowry would be okay for their next game but struggled with his quickness and agility. Without a back-up point guard to play against Aaron Brooks, Von Wafer stepped up to challenge. In what seemed like a mismatch in quickness and ball handling skills, Wafer proved the coaches wrong and had his way with Brooks.

                        The 6'5" guard out of Florida State used his height advantage to shoot over Brooks and it also allowed him to see the entire floor while blocking Brooks passing vision. Along with the height advantage came the blocks. Wafer has great drive defense and was able to block countless shots near the rim while Brooks seemed to be getting frustrated.

                        When asked about the possibility of Von Wafer playing point guard for the Houston Rockets, Rick Adelman said although he doesn't plan to make a change in the very near future, he would not take it out as a possibility. He also stated he has been very impressed with Luther Head's game since the Brent Barry injury and plans to use him more in the game.

                        With Brooks struggling and Head playing well at shooting guard, it is a very possible opportunity for Wafer to become a starter on this Rockets team. Brooks' shooting percentage has been in the low 30's the past few weeks and struggles on the defensive end, while Wafer has been a killer shooting the ball so far this year and has played well defensively. Although Wafers stats and play is hard to compare to Brooks' because of the difference in positions and the fact that Wafer plays against second units most of the time, this is a move that really can't hurt Houston and can only help them. Stay tuned to see if Rick Adelman makes the switch anytime soon.

                            Could be happening sooner that I would have hoped. I just like having him on my bench to have a solid scorer on the 2nd unit.
