Tuesday night’s loss against LA’s other team hurts. We can lick our wounds and wrap the loss in the fact that a record of 5-1 over the past six is progress.
And it is.
Probably.
No! It is!
But it doesn’t stop us from lamenting over how close the Wizards were to making it six wins on the bounce. After an overtime triumph against the Los Angeles Lakers mere hours prior to Tuesday’s tipoff, our plucky Wizards began the fourth quarter against the Los Angeles Clippers down five.
At that point, the decision to stay up late and drink a few (whatever you drink) after brashly predicting a Wizards win was looking prescient.
