NBA Preview: Wizards look to beat the Bulls again

The Washington Wizards just had their 13th consecutive loss last night in Canada.

They sit at the bottom of the NBA, at 1-14, with 13 of those L all in a row. They have not won in a MONTH.

Tonight they face the Chicago Bulls, who are enjoying a solid start to their season compared to previous years. The Bulls are 8-6, and 5-1 at home.

When: Saturday, Nov. 22 at 8 p.m. ET

Where: United Center, Chicago

Wizards: Marvin Bagley III, AJ Johnson, Alex Sarr (Out)

Bulls: Coby White, Zach Collins (Out)

Defense, please? — The Wizards are defending poorly on the perimeter. Last night they allowed 14-29 from downtown to the Raptors.

They also defend poorly in the paint, allowing 39 free throws last night.

It’s OK not to have a lot of talent, and to struggle with scoring. But defense is about effort, organization, and coaching. And being so consistently bad on that end, raises questions about these factors.

Flashback: The Wizards beat the Bulls on opening week some years ago…

The Beal Era… Or the Beal & Kuzma Era? Nostalgia. Well, some years ago, Beal hit a game-winning shot with about 8 seconds left in regulation to give the Wizards the win against the Bulls. Enjoy!
