No team has ever come back to win a series after a 3-0 deficit in the NBA Playoffs.
The Washington Wizards –unless they make disastrous history– will beat the Toronto Raptors in the first round of the playoffs.
Since the days of Nick Young, JaVale McGee and Andray Blatche, my expectations for the Wizards have always been irrationally high. Year after year, I’d convince myself that team would make the postseason. Of course, it never happened.
Fast-forward a few years and the Wizards have successfully rebuilt their team through the draft, free agency and trade.
