It was a tough loss last night for our Washington Wizards. Bradley Beal put up a career high, on efficient shooting even, and still couldn’t pull out the win. It’s depressing, I can understand that Wizards fans, trust me.
But let’s calm down a moment, take a breath, and look at the facts. The Chicago Bulls are still firmly behind our Washington Wizards by a game and a half, and the Wizards are just 3.5 games from sneaking into the playoffs.
I’ve written before that there are a ton of benefits to getting this young squad into the playoffs, and it could accelerate the growth of players like Isaac Bonga, Moritz Wagner, and Troy Brown.
