It’s a reflection of the Wizards being in deconstruction mode.
The Washington Wizards have the worst regular season record in NBA this regular season. Last season, they were also among the worst. So it should be no surprise that Washington didn’t advance in the NBA Cup this season. But what may surprise you is that the Wizards didn’t win a game in the In-Season Tournament last season as well. In fact, Jeremy Brener of SI.com also added that the Wizards are the only NBA team to have still yet to win a single game.
It sounds depressing in some ways. Washington matched their franchise record for consecutive losses in consecutive years. The team sometimes looks like isn’t even trying to be competitive.
At the end of the day, the Wizards are still in “deconstruction” mode. I’m sure most of you know that the majority of the players on this team will not be on the Wizards when they start becoming competitive again. And those NBA Cup wins are coming, eventually. But for now, things are looking tough.
