But I do have to say that "Wizards" is a pretty weak name for a DC team... Well, unless it's some sort of freemason reference, then I guess that's slightly less lame.
Anyway, I hope the Dallas Sh!tty Commute beat the hell out of the Washington Bullets tonight. |
But you have to admit it turned out to be a fitting name...even more so than Phoenix Suns, Minneapolis Lakers, New Orleans Jazz, Detroit Pistons and Indiana Pacers.
Probably not intentional though.
