It was very good road trip, after winning with Phoenix, Denver, Sacramento and Portland we lost to Minnesotta.
KAT was huge, Rubio had career night and we couldn't stoped them in first quarter. 4-1 is really good outcome but concerning is our defence which looks awful at times.
Gortat and Morris should be benched by Brooks they need wake up call. Marcin isn't probably happy that he often sit on the bench in 4th quarter, but his performances suggest he is suddenly declines or he isn't focus enough and he doesn't bring an effort.
I'm Sato hater as a backup PG but Jennings can't score too and his D is worse so maybe Brooks needs to give him another opportunity to run second unit?

After Dallas game we have at home Bulls. It should be blowout and rest for upcoming another short road tour with the most important game vs Boston.

PG Yogi Ferrell

SG Wesley Matthews

SF Harrison Barnes

PF Dirk Nowitzki

C <Who Knows?>

PG John Wall -> eastern player of the week

SG Bradley Beal

SF Otto Porter

PF Markief Morris

C Marcin Gortat

It's a welcome change to see the Wizards pick up some road wins, but if you look at the run since the All-Star break there's a fluky quality to at least six of those games that ended up in the win column.

The Wizards have played atrocious basketball on the defensive end since the break and I hope they're not losing sight of the fact that they're not nearly as good as the record might indicate.

Complacency could have Washington very quickly drop a bunch of games over the next 10 and it doesn't get any easier in April.

vs Mavs
vs Bulls
@ Hornets
@ Celtics
vs Hawks
vs Nets
@ Cavs
@ Lakers
@ Clippers
@ Jazz

All of these games are winnable, but if Washington continues to surrender points at the clip they're going I could see them losing 6 or 7 games easy.

They have to really get into it on the defensive end starting with the Mavs and perhaps forget about styling on offense so much because right now they're not looking like a team that's going to go far in the playoffs.

First 3 games vs Mavs, Bulls, Hornets and later vs Nets and Lakers should be a WIN. It's 5 of 10. We can get away with one more win and finish 6/10.
But as U said after AS break our defence drop of huge. If our guys will continue to play without effort from start to finish it's unlikely to have good record.
Cavs, Clipps are too much experiences teams to lose 20+ pts lead.

Defense has to improve to back where it was in January/February

The offense has been good, though they need to be consistent with moving the ball.
