If the Pistons and the Spurs are currently catastrophic, with 20 and 17 defeats in a row respectively, the Wizards are not doing much better. What “saves” Washington is a victory against the Pistons on November 27, because without it, Wes Unseld Jr.'s men would be on 15 losses in a row.
Because, in terms of record, with only three victories for 19 defeats since the start of the season, Washington is not doing much better than its little comrades at the bottom of the class: Detroit is at 2-21 and San Antonio also at 3-19.
And the last defeat, against the Sixers, symbolizes the difficulties of Kyle Kuzma and his teammates: a 14-0 taken in the teeth from the start, up to 47 points difference and finally 146 points conceded.
“It’s discouraging when you miss shots and feel like you’re being dominated the whole game,” summarizes the Wizards coach. “I think we showed a little resistance at certain times. It all depends on our attack. When we struggle to make open shots, we become discouraged. We have to fight and make stops. »
Let the storm pass, but until when?
After a slap against the Nets (27 points difference), it is a second slap in a row as well as a fifth defeat in a row. Frustration mounts. “We're human, it's normal to be frustrated. But how do we respond to that? That's the question. We didn’t respond well,” Judge Wes Unseld Jr. in the Washington Post.
Except perhaps the good game of Bilal Coulibaly, author of 13 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists, there is not much to save from this outing in Philadelphia. Faces were closed after the meeting.
“When you get beaten by 50 points, it’s never pleasant. And it’s recurring this season. Things must change,” announces Kyle Kuzma. “We must let the storm pass. But it's been going on a little too long. »
