The Wizards with their new coach Scott Brooks have been playing outstanding. The Wizards coach was the NBA coach of the year in 2010. He was also selected to be a coach for the all-star game in 2012-2014. They are already better than they were last year.
They finished 41-41. On March 17,2017 they beat their record and the season wasn’t even over. They still had about 20 more games until the regular season was over. They clearly have a chance to make it to the playoffs.
Reasons Why the Wizards are Doing Better.
One of the reasons they are doing better this year is that John Wall has had an amazing year. They also acquired Bojan Bogdonavic (a.k.a Bo Buckets). He is really good at perimeter shooting. Bradley Beal is showing up and hitting all his shots. The bench has been way more productive.
They come in the game and score about 35-55 points for the Wizards. They can basically stop and pop (Stop, shoot the ball and it goes in). That helps the Wizards when they are down by a lot. They are also good at getting fast points.
Once they played a game and it had just started. Then right after the tip off the Wizards got the ball. Then the Wizards scored 13 points and the other team scored none and that was in two minutes. Not to mention the Wizards defense has been spectacular.
In a game they held the opponent to only 45 points till the third quarter ended. That game ended 119-77 and the they won by 42 points! That is crazy. That could be a NBA record. 42 points! That rarely happens. Nowadays all the teams are pretty good.
Hopefully they do good like they most likely will this year. Being 42-26 probably means you have a good season going on. But then of course you might still lose to some easy teams.
