DO YOU BELIEVE IN MAGIC? WELL THE WIZARDS ARE SHOWING SOME!!!

   Well well well!! The Wizards came in and took a spot in the 2014 playoffs and in the race for the championship. The Wizards have been building and changing players to get the franchise back to the years of the 80s and 90s. I have to be honest I couldn't believe it when I googled searched the eastern conference playoffs and they were a seed in the playoff and the number 5 seed in which they finished the regular season strong to earn that seeding. A pretty good team but in my eyes not close to be a playoff team the Wizards proved me wrong in a major way with two victories against a strong Bulls team to head back to D.C. to try and continue their charge against the Bulls. Browsing through some of the online sports editorials before the two teams squared off with one another just as I did the Wizards were seen as easy prey for the Bulls to push pass to make their championship run easier than starting off with the Heat or Pacers. However, even as a former athlete myself you can't dictate victory by printed sheets of paper you actually have to play the game and prove that your the better team. 

   Home advantage starting the playoffs is an excellent position to hold, however the key to maintaining momentum is to WIN as Coach Herm Edwards say. The Wizards took their number 5 seeding on the road to a ruckus crowd and quiet the naysayers, the crowd and myself and said we are a contender and we will not lose based off what commentators think. The Wizards just as other teams in all sports that have had losing seasons prior to post season runs will ignite their city and bring the bandwagon riders to the surface and will fill seats for the rest of the playoffs and for the next season. The underdog has it easy because their expectations of winning is limited. The ability to knock off a winning team gives value to a team that doesn't have the backing of the public. So with that said I apologize for doubting the Wizards and they definitely proved me wrong and hopefully can prove others wrong by eliminating the Bulls from the playoffs early and continuing their road the championship.
