It’s been a wildly unfamiliar beginning to the season for Wizards fans. Forget the jarring 10-3 record and first seed in the East for a quick second. Numbers and logic don’t fully capture what this start to the year has been like.
At its core, doesn’t it just feel so utterly foreign to watch this team enter crunch time with the game close and actually expect them to win? There have just been way too many #SoWizards moments in the past for fans to ever feel completely comfortable with a lead late in games.
Sure, most middle-of-the-pack fan bases act like their teams let them down more often than they pull through.
