From the nation's capital all the way up to Madison Square Garden, a wretched brand of basketball was being played. In fact the Washington Wizards, Philadelphia 76ers, New Jersey Nets and New York Knicks combined for 94 wins and an astounding 234 losses. The worm may have turned for at least two of those teams on Tuesday, when the Wizards and Sixers jumped up in the NBA's annual Draft |
