The Wizards are now 4-1 over their past five games, despite Caron Butler and Gilbert Arenas both being out with injuries. This is a major improvement from the early days of the Butler injury when we were losing left and right. What accounts for the difference? Well, I notice that the team has ditched Kanye's "Stronger" as opening music in favor of quasi-local Clipse's "Roc Boys" which I think is worth about 2.6 points per game all on its own.

Although I don't follow the NBA as I have lost all interest in sports which are now about nothing but money, a couple of things are of interest.
1. Back in January, I seem to recall that Mr. Yglesias wrote off the San Antonio Spurs as a championship contender. Does he now want to revisit that statement?
2. The Wizards traded the injury prone Kwame Brown for what appears to be the injury prone Caron Butler. It would seem that the Lakers make out better on the deal by trading Brown for Pau Gasol. Since then, the Lakers have been the best team in the NBA.
See, this is the type of reporting you just don't get from the regular sportswriters, who insist on telling us that the play is responsible for wins and losses. Stupid sportswriters!
But a nice little streak for the Wiz - maybe they can stay out of the dreaded 7th and 8th seeds and actually win a series...
Credit where credit is due: "Roc Boys (And the Winner Is)..." is a Jay-Z song, named #1 song of the year by Rolling Stone, off the new American Gangster album; the Clipse track is from a mixtape where they rhyme over that song's backing track.
Jaz-Z is Nets property. He ought to insist the Wiz stop using his song (including the Clipse version). I mean, if it is good for 2.6 points per game, how can Jay-Z allow a playoff competitor an edge like that???
I think that if any NBA team were to start continuously playing the ubiquitous Soulja Boy loop for all 48 minutes of the game, they'd win every single time.
Try it and prove me wrong.

Now you're just being silly.
If I owned a team, they'd come out to Madvillain's "Supavillain Theme" every single time.
The Clipse jack the 'Roc Boys' beat on We Got It For Cheap vol. 3. Don't let the 9-mil riddle your wit, smartypants.
Sorry, that should've said the Clipse version on WGIFC3 is superior. Since it is.
