Pregame notes

The Wizards come back home after a disappointing loss in Chicago that featured the team giving up another double digit lead. Maybe this is the growing pains of a developing team or maybe it’s all part of the larger plan to acquire talent through the draft. Either way, there were moments where it looked like the Wizards were ready to pull off one of the bigger upsets of the season. The game ultimately came down to a turnover on the Wizards’ last possession that would have given them a chance at a game-winning shot.

The matchup with the Hawks will be the Wizards’ third NBA Cup game. So far the team is 0-10 all-time in these games. They also have an active 14-game losing streak this season. Who says they’re not consistent?

The Hawks come into this game a bit banged up, but still playing solid basketball. If the Wizards intend to win this game, it won’t be easy.

Washington seems direction-less — A bunch of teams are evaluating their coaches based on performance. For the Wizards the standard has been particularly low in the Leonsis era. The Pelicans recently fired Willie Green for underperforming. But, for the Wizards losing 14 in a row and not showing effort or organization on defense is excusable. #SoWizards

Can the Wizards finally get their first NBA cup win? Can they break both their NBA Cup and overall losing streak?
