Earlier today, Kevin Broom wrote his “morning after”analysis of the Washington Wizards’ loss to the Indiana Pacers. And he’s sounding the alarm. Though Washington has played 12 games, there is already more than enough information to indicate that this season will be … tougher than anticipated.
In the case of the Wizards this season, they may not really be the quality of a team that wins just 14-15 games (which is what their adjusted scoring margin implies), but a) they could be, and b) it’s pretty
unlikely they’re even the quality of a 35-win team. Best case at this point is probably mid-20s in wins — better than last season, though not the major step forward many hoped.
While it’s not as early as we think, it’s getting later fast. We already have half the information needed to draw a meaningful conclusion. By game 20, it’ll be about 70%. By game 30, it’s closing in on 80%.
So as Wizards fans, are you satisfied with a 25-28 win season with an AJ Dybantsa – Anthony Davis – Trae Young trio? But more urgently, are you satisfied with the Wizards being roughly 10-20 by the time the Christmas holiday comes around?
We are just two weeks away from Thanksgiving ladies and gentlemen. And I have a poll below from the feed. If the Wizards continue stagnating at a sub .500 win pace, do you think that this warrants changes like the coaching staff and/or midseason trades? Let us know below.
