Forget the 6-10 record. I am thankful for this Washington Wizards basketball team, and you should be too!
Coming into the season, nobody had any faith in the Wizards. Win projections from sportsbooks topped out around 30. No one knew who would score besides Bradley Beal. And nobody knew who would defend.
A month into the season and we still haven’t figured out who is going to be the defensive stopper on this team, but we’ve been blessed with many pleasant surprises.
As of Thanksgiving morning, the Wizards are just a half-game behind the Orlando Magic for the East’s final playoff spot.
