Improvements might be on the way, but right now, the Wizards are trending downward -- even in their best areas.Whats goodWashingtons tickets still beat the average cost of an NBA game, but the cost of attendance rose 36 percent over the past year, more than that of any team other than the Golden State Warriors. The main difference between the two, of course, is that the Warriors win pretty reliably. The price hikes by the Wizards have pushed them down 33 spots in bang for the buck, but the franchise is still among the top half of the NBA and across pro sports in that category (60th overall). That said, this is a young team with good guard play, and it is still a (relatively) good buy.Whats badTheyre young, they didnt grab much talent this offseason, and they have one of their top players, John Wall, coming off surgery on both knees. That isnt a recipe for winning now, and the Wizards title track (117th) reflects that. Washington hasnt invested much in the Verizon Center recently, either, though its preparing to open a new practice facility with Events DC. The lack of innovation pushed the Wizards stadium experience rank down (103rd overall, fourth-worst in the NBA). Much like the team roster, the stadium and facilities remain stagnant. In fact, the franchise tumbled in the rankings in all but one category: coaching.Whats newTeam owner Ted Leonsis brought in former Thunder coach Scott Brooks, which led to that 11-spot bump in coaching. But fan trust in Leonsis and the rest of the front office has dipped after a disappointing 2015-16 season (down 26 spots to 77th). Whats more, not only did the team miss out on Kevin Durant -- a D.C. native who played for Brooks in Oklahoma City -- but they also werent even in the picture as his decision neared. Nabbing Durant in free agency would have pushed Washington way up the player rankings. Missing out on him, plus a lateral move in signing Utah guard Trey Burke, puts the roster back quite a bit -- 29 spots, to be exact.Next: Chicago Bulls?| Full rankings Cheap Antonio Rudiger Jersey .

Open champion Justin Rose birdied the first hole with a blind shot he hit to a foot of the pin, and he stayed in front Tuesday until he completed a 4-under 67 for a two-shot lead over Jason Dufner in PGA Grand Slam of Golf. HOUSTON -- The Houston Texans dealt with a fans hand-held laser pointed at quarterback Brock Osweilers eyes, questionable placement of the ball on two key plays and a would-be touchdown that was whistled dead in a loss to Oakland on Monday night.Sure, the Texans were unhappy with all of those things, but a day later they know that dwelling on what happened in Mexico City wont do them any good this week. The message for the Texans was clear on Tuesday: Its time to move on.They really have no other choice but to put the 27-20 defeat behind them with the San Diego Chargers heading to town in six days and Houston needing a win to remain in control of the AFC South. Houston (6-4) remains atop their division, but the loss put them within one game of the second-place Colts.The feeling in that locker room after that game is theres a lot of football left and we have a lot to build on from that game, coach Bill OBrien said. Being in first place is a good thing. The other teams in the division are playing pretty decent. So weve got to understand what is coming down the road here, but the first thing is San Diego, getting a good start on them on Wednesday.OBrien didnt want to discuss any of the calls from Monday night on Tuesday, but he did address the laser pointer after learning more about what happened since his postgame news conference. He said that running back Lamar Miller had it pointed in his face along with Osweiler.It doesnt even enter your mind that someone would bring a laser into a game and point it at one of your players ... I think thats terrible, OBrien said. I dont know what you can do about it.While dealing with the laser pointer and the questionable calls by the referees certainly werent ideal for the Texans, they cant blame the loss entirely on those things. Their defense played great for three quarters before a 75-yard touchdown reception by Jamize Olawale tied things up and Amari Cooper took a screen pass 35 yards for the winning touchdown.Houstons pass defense entered the game ranked third in the NFL and the Texans had a rush defense that was among the worst in the league. On Monday night, the Texans allowed just 30 yards rushing, but were hurt by the receiving of the Oaklands running backs, who combined for 199 yards receiving.ddddddddddddhere were some missed tackles. Give them credit, OBrien said. But on a positive note, we held them to 30 yards rushing. So in the last three games weve done a good job against the run, but last night their running backs did a good job about us in the passing game. No doubt about it.A positive to come out of Monday nights game was the continued strong play of defensive end Jadeveon Clowney , the top overall pick in the 2014 draft. Clowney, who was slowed by injuries in his first two seasons, had five tackles, including two for losses, to give him 12 tackles for losses this season.He was very disruptive in the game even when he didnt make a play, OBrien said. Hes having a good year for us and the key for him, like all of our players at this time of the year, is staying healthy. But I thought he really impacted the game last.Osweiler , who has been inconsistent in his first season in Houston, wasnt great on Monday, but OBrien believes that he is making progress. He threw for 243 yards on Monday after managing just 99 yards passing last week in a win over Jacksonville.I think he played one of his better games and I think if he can continue to keep getting more comfortable, better and better with our offense youre going to see improvement every week, OBrien said.Game notes OBrien was asked about a story J.J. Watt wrote published by the Players Tribune on Tuesday where he discussed his health and disclosed that he had a staph infection last season. Watt is out for the season after back surgery. J.J. is working very hard to be back here in 2017, OBrien said. I dont think hell be back here this year, although technically you could bring him back in January, but were not going to do that. Hell be back in 2017. Hes in the building today, in good spirits and working to be better than ever in 2017.As far of the list of injuries ... thats probably a better question to ask him.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
