Just how bad is the Wizards defense?

The 2019-20 Washington Wizards are an experience close to unparalleled in NBA history. Their offense is potent and entertaining. Their defense is astonishingly feeble. Even the all-offense, no defense Eddie Jordan’s teams weren’t this bad.

On October 30, Washington dumped 158 points — in regulation — on the Houston Rockets, and lost the game. They opened December by scoring 125 on the Clippers, and getting stomped, 150-125.

This season, an NBA team has allowed their opponent 140 or more points in a game 10 times. The Wizards have done it three times.
