Let's not overstate the change in the Washington Wizards that enabled the Wizards to pull off the first-round playoff upset and sweep the favored Toronto Raptors.
But it would perhaps be less surprising if the Republicans who control the U.S. House and Senate in Washington—who among other things have had members scream aloud "you lie" to the president and invited Israel's prime minister to speak over his objections—planned the president's party and all sang "Happy Birthday."
This Wizards first-round playoff series victory looked like meek bespectacled Clark Kent walking into that phone booth and coming out Superman.
