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!
