Look, it’s just not fair to expect the Wizards to play well in two consecutive games. They snapped their 10-game losing streak to the somnambulant Phoenix Suns, and it’s on the fans to make that joy stretch.
It’s downright unreasonable to want more from a team with only the NBA’s 12th highest payroll. If you can’t be happy with a group of battlers who can gut out 2 wins in 16 games, that’s on you.
Plus, the Wizards were missing Kristaps Porzingis, Deni Avdija and Delon Wright — AND YET THEY PUT ON THEIR UNIFORMS AND PLAYED THE GAME ANYWAY!
