The Winless Wizards


The Washington Wizards are the only team this season to be winless thus far. After that beating they took from Orlando this week, team leader Maurice Evans had a team only meeting..

“The sense of entitlement that’s here sometimes, I’ve never seen before,” said Evans, “We have to start earning things. Earn your way into the rotation. Earn your way onto the floor, and then you earn your minutes by being productive, and when you’re not in the rotation, you be supportive and make guys better in practice.”

The Wizards are off to their worst start in franchise history.

“The players have to take some onus as well, said Evans. “We have to look internally and find out who are our leaders. Who are we trying to go to when we need a bucket? Is it Dray, is it Nick, is it John, or Jordan etc.? Those are questions I posed to them and things that we have to know going forward if we are going to win games and more importantly compete.”

It's pretty sad that a team with this much youth and a pretty good coach can't get focused and at least be competitive.. the losses will happen but the lack of heart.. smh. Let's hope they get it together..but not tonight as they play my Knicks.
