They were known as the Bad Boys, the late 1980s-1990s  Detroit Pistons of the NBA. They has superstars such as Isiah Thomas, Dennis Rodman, John Salley, Joe Dumars and Bill Lambeer.

It's been 6 years since the Washington Wizards made the playoffs and in the next week they will return back to playoff basketball. The Wizards have won over 40 games this year and with the leadership of John Wall, Bradley Beal and Trevor Ariza. The group seems to be playing cohesively and their playing team ball. My hope for them is to continue this throughout the playoffs. They will probably be the 5th or 6th seed in the Eastern Conference and will match up against Toronto, Brooklyn or Chicago.  The Wizards have a fighting chance against these teams, but they must win on the road , since they aren't a top seed.  It's been refreshing to watch this season and as a lifelong fan I hope they keep growing as franchise.  Don't stop Belevin' DC!
