Sorry Washington, your contender status is revoked until further notice. I mean, if the Hawks lost six in a row with Joe Johnson, you'd have to think they'd be easy pickings without him, right? Um, wrong.
The Wizards completely flamed out after leading by eight at halftime because they were dominated in the paint by Zaza Pachulia. Yes, really. So what's going to happen when they face the likes of Shaq, Bosh, Jermaine and Rasheed in the playoffs?

Nice to see us talked about as a playoff lock, and a tough opponent as well. Kind words for a franchise that many thought would never be on the receiving end of this kind of praise so early in our rebuilding process.
I guess the great Colangelo has worked his magic again, and we are witnessing a rebuild on schedule. Thats amazing. He's like Mike Holmes, putting his work on display and keeping on time and on budget.
Nice.
