Nexus Connections: G-Wiz Dances, G-Wiz Gangnam Styles

Sometimes the different DC Sports teams all come together to provide worthy (or non-worthy) fun and excitement.  Instead of just posting it a zillion times, this segment will just link you over to the main story.

You just saw G-Wiz deliver the flying clothesline to Teddy of the Nats.  Now watch as an inflatable version of the giant blue wizard thing dances to Drake, Pitbull, and of course, as all mascot bits end, to Gangnam Style.  Do we really have to keep ending our mascot bits with that?

Crazy OKC Thunder Fan Not Impressed With John Wall

Check out this Oklahoma City Thunder fan who was screaming at John Wall very audibly on the broadcast while Wall was at the free throw line.  Wall sank both foul shots and as you can see, this guy was not impressed:

Unveiling The Wizard With Martell Webster

Martell Webster threw down a two handed jam during the Wizards 96-87 victory over the New Orleans Hornets on Friday night at Verizon Center.  Martell was pumped up and he crossed his arms across the front of his jersey looking like he was doing some spinoff of the superman move that is all the rage with guys like Cam Newton and Dwayne Wade.

After Martell did it the camera cut to the bench where John Wall was loving it too.  So here it is, Martell Webster and John Wall unveiling the Wizard!

J.J. Sucks! J.J. Sucks! - Wizards Fans Chant At Redick

During the closing minutes of the Washington Wizards wednesday night 106-93 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks, J.J. Redick was fouled and headed to the line for 2 shots. With a big Wizards lead and the Verizon Center having fun for a change, the crowd was quite fired up for the occasion.

 Let's take a listen to what happened:




The fans serenaded the former Duke Blue Devil and ACC/All Basketball villain with a very loud and audible "JJ Sucks! JJ Sucks!" chant much to the delight of Martell Webster who encouraged the fans to keep up the noise.  The TV coverage panned the laughing/cheering crowd as Redick missed his first foul shot after the chant.  Chant Don't Lie!

Steve Buckhantz and Phil Chenier found it quite amusing as well.  Here's what they were saying:

Buck - "And the fans here expressing their appreciation to JJ Redick, and he misses the foul shot" 

Phil - "He doesn't miss many so they need some credit, Martell calling for the crowd to do it again"

Good times when the Wizards win!

John Wall 360 Spinning Layup

Here's a fun play from John Wall from Sunday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers:

Andray Blatche Does Some Andray Blatche Stuff In Return To Verizon

Andray Blatche returned to the Verizon Center for the second time of the season on Friday night, and didn't quite have the game he had the time before.  Andray missed several free throws, attempted and missed dunks & layups, and heard very audible chants of "Blatche You Suck" vibrating out of the stands at Verizon.

Top right is 5 bricked free throws:

Blatche couldn't believe he was bricking the shots, although he did end up sinking one at the end of the game to prevent the Verizon crowd from winning a free chicken sandwich.  He finished with 5 points on 2-9 from the field and 1-6 from the free throw line.

Kevin Seraphin enjoyed it...

Martell Webster's Whip & Skip On The 4 Point Play

Martell Webster, the 4 point play master, drained another 3 pointer with the foul on Monday night against the Kings.  After he sunk the shot, Webster celebrated with a little whip & skip move.

Ted Leonsis Slaps Trevor Ariza On Backside After Basket

The Wizards were dominating the Orlando Magic in the first half on Monday night and nobody was happier than Ted Leonsis.  The Washington owner (Ted is the second blur from the right), and someone next to him, slapped Trevor Ariza on the ass after he knocked down a jumper.

Here is a poor quality GIF of the scene because people seemed interested:

Jan Vesely & The Secret Cipher

So our favorite player Jan Vesely sent out some pretty strange tweets last night.  We thought it may have been one too many Czechvars or perhaps some pocket tweeting, but it was actually a secret code that Jan left for the KGB.

Jan has already successfully infiltrated the Washington Wizards, and is currently planted right in the midst of our nation's capital.  Watch out everyone!

And all joking and fun aside, donate some money to the Boys & Girls Club here for JANuary!

Pushing Jan Vesely

JANuary continues (you still have time to pledge or donate!) and today we have one of Jan Vesely's Wizards teammate pushing him!  Hey lay off!!!

Guess who knocked down the Thunder guy on the floor...JAN!

Siri Opens Up Thesaurus For The Wizards Latest Loss

On Sunday night the Washington Wizards lost another horrible game to the Miami Heat.  It was the Wizards 28th loss in 32 games and it ended with the Miami Heat scoring 21 straight points and the Wizards not getting a single basket in the final 7 minutes.

Since most Washingtonians were focusing their attention on the Washington Redskins playoff game, a few fans with iPhones decided to ask Siri what happened in the Wizards game.  Siri didn't answer the same way twice.  Here are some results:

Crushed, Trounced, or in a nice way Soundly Defeated.  Any way you look at it, the Wizards lost last night.

How The Washington Wizards Crush My Soul

On Friday night the Washington Wizards were up 8 points with only 1:27 left to go in the game.  It looked as if the Wizards were in control for their 5th win of the season.  But...it was the Wizards, and as the Wizards do, they crushed everyone.

The season has been awful for games and the crowds have been sparce.  However, there was a bit of a special feeling in the air at Verizon as the game with the Nets went on.  Maybe it was Andray Blatche or maybe it was just a fun friday night, but the crowd was emotionally invested in the game like they have been few times this season.

This is video of a fan reaction to the overtime collapse, and the emotions that run through Wizards fans every game.  We say we are giving up, but we just can't...they drag us back in...then slap us in the face:



And seriously Jordan Crawford.  Pass the freaking ball...

Jan Vesely Records First Ever "Jan Trick"

One of my favorite parts of basketball is the triple double.  It is a really cool accomplishment, although it is often tainted by idiots trying to rack up stats.  (And by idiots I mean this Wizards player and this Wizards player)

I kind of like hockey's "hat-trick" better because it is hard to "rack up" goals in a cheap way (although many are achieved on an empty net).

Well last night Jan Vesely just accomplished a "triple-hat-trick".  Jan had a hat trick in points, a hat trick in fouls and a hat trick in missed foul shots!  The Jan-Trick!!!

Jan accomplished this feat in just 13 minutes of playing time!  What a performance!

Sadly the Jan-Trick was wasted as the Wizards fell to the Nets 115-113 in double overtime.

And if you aren't aware about JANuary, we are raising money for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Washington.  Whenever Jan Scores, the Charity scores!  Go here to pledge  (it is fast, easy, and you can use a credit card) and remember to cheer loud for Jan Vesely all January long! (and beyond).

Pacers Fans Bored To Sleep By Wizards Basketball

Indiana lead from the first basket Thursday night and really had no trouble rolling over the Wizards 89-81 for their ninth straight win.  Randy Wittman looks like his soul is now gone, commenting about not having enough timeouts to fix all the problems.

"I'm gonna call [David] Stern tomorrow and see if maybe I can buy some, I'd pay a lot for a couple more extra timeouts" - Wittman

Paul George lead the Pacers with 29 points he also snagged 14 rebounds. George added his name to a long list of players that have feasted on Washington's lackluster defense.

The Wizards fought back from another defecit, this one 17 points.  They even trailed by just two in the fourth, proof that effort is not the problem with this team. Having a lack of talent on the other hand, is a clear disadvantage.

Here are three Bros in the crowd that aren't into the Wiz talent.  As you can tell they are more than thrilled to be watching their Pacers play the bottom-feeding #Wizards.

Jordan Crawford once again lead Washington in scoring with 20. Crawford has come off the bench in the last two games but it's clear for this Wizards team to win, they need as much Jordan Crawford as possible, he's the only consistent scorer on the team. (He also shot this airball)

The Eastern Conference rookie of the month, Bradley Beal had 14. And yes he did win that award, we are currently checking the archives to see if there is in fact, another rookie in the Eastern Conference.

Chris Singleton saw action tonight after not playing a minute in the previous three games. He had just four points. Combining that with Jan Vesely's zero points that means the 2011 first round picks for the Wizards had a whopping four points in just 19 minutes of play.

Other than Crawford, Nene is the only other player Wizards fans can rely on night in and night out. Nene had 15 points and six rebounds for a Wizards team that desperately needs more help in the post.

Andray Blatche returns to Verizon on Friday...

Jordan Crawford Does The Most Jordan Crawford Thing Ever

Here is Jordan Crawford shooting a wacky airball on an 8 foot "shot", catching the ball in the air, and scoring the basket on the self-alleyoop in Wednesday night's game against the Indiana Pacers.  You have to watch it below.  It was the most Jordan Crawford play ever.  Mostly because it was an airball travelling and didn't count.  Pure Steez.

Steve Buckhantz has a wonderful reaction to the play.

Steve Buckhantz:  "If anyone is allowed to do that it is Jordan Crawford"

Phil Chenier (actually puzzled): "Why is that"

Steve Buckhantz: "Because he is a circus player and he made another circus shot"

Later in the game, Buck repeated that the refs "took away a basket" from Crawford...lol.

Here is a GIF of the play:

Pacer Misses Dunk Badly, Crashes To Floor

Here is, shockingly, not the Washington Wizards missing a dunk attempt and falling on the ground!  It is Lance Stephenson of the Indiana Pacers, and he may have been pushed a bit.  He gets rejected by the rim and almost hurts himself:  GIF:

I wasted like 30 minutes on my life with this, so now I am subjecting you to the pain:

Lakers Guy Celebrates

Here is a guy on the end of the Lakers bench doing a fun leg kick celebration after a Dwight Howard rebound & dunk.  Is that Robert Sacre? I have no clue.  I need a bigger TV.

Here is a cool little bang on the drums celebration that Bradley Beal showed after hitting a bucket and getting fouled.
