Former Wolves coach Randy Wittman has the Wizards into the second round in this year's NBA playoffs, with a 1-0 lead on Indiana. His squad is 4-0 on the road, which is crazy. What's even crazier is that Wittman apparently told his players that if the Wiz defeated the Bulls in round 1, he would attempt a dunk. What's craziest is that apparently he hasn't come through -- yet. "Now he's trying to get out of that. He says he's going to touch the rim," center Marcin Gortat said. "That's what he said which is kind of weird because we said dunk."

Bradley Beal is calling out his coach, too.

"Witt got to be a man of his word," he said. "He was supposed to do it last round. He had up until the first game (vs. Indiana) to dunk. You know Witt, he needs a couple days to get stretched out. Hopefully he'll do it. I think he can do it. Maybe."
