The 2nd half of the season starts now. The Wiz have established an identity of being an anti-clutch team that loses to sub .500 teams regularly but gets up for the top teams. It's been an embarassing season for the reputations of some of the players on this roster while some others have shown improvement.
Scott Brooks has not coached a good first half of the season.
John Wall's return from injury gave this team a spark that's been dimmed the last couple of nights. But he is seemingly rounding into form. Otto Porter who started hot has been underutilized by the coaching staff and his own passiveness. Beal has been the leading scorer but he isn't finishing games the way you'd expect an All-Star guy to do.
The bench has been much better with Sato's defense and ball security, Mike Scott's sharp shooting and effort on defense... and of course, 2015 1st round pick Kelly Oubre making that next step offensively.
The home stand continues with the struggling Magic who are 12-30. The last meeting between these two was a blowout by the Wiz. Will the Wiz continue the Ls to sub .500s?!
