Washington Wizards: Off to a Great Start

With nine games into the season, the Washington Wizards seemed to be prepared to pick up where they left off last season with an impressive run in the playoffs. The Wizards are currently 7-2, and have only lost to 2 of the best teams in the league so far, the Heat and the Raptors.

Part of the Wizards' success comes from having a productive off-season, and acquiring talent that will give the Wizards addition support throughout the season. Two big names that bring attention to the new roster: Paul Pierce and Kris Humphries. Humphries is a seasoned forward that has just undergone surgery in his small and ring finger after lacerating it on a game against Chicago on 10/6. Humphries has missed a few weeks from this result but will be back in action soon. Pierce on the other hand, brings a plethora of experience to the team, being that it is his 17th season in the NBA. He is edging toward the end of his career, and hopefully it will be worth the 2-year deal the Wizards made with him in July of 2014. At 37 years old, Pierce is still aiming for success in Washington, and gives the fans the privilege of seeing him finish at his best for our home team.
