Key Legislature: Wizards 104 at Bulls 109 — Where the Hell is the Sense of Urgency?

Are you f*cking #Wizards-ing me? https://t.co/MHEaCAa3Rf

“Without a sense of urgency, desire loses it’s value.”This very poignant quote from Jim Rohn, a.k.a. the godfather of the personal development industry and mentor to motivational speaker tycoon Tony Robbins, has left this Wizards blogger completely vexed.

Now matter how much desire Ted Leonsis has to make the Wizards a marquee pillar of the D.C. community by investing in a state-of-the-art practice facility that will (maaaaybe) entice future free agents and enhance one of the city’s most impoverished communities…

No matter how much desire Ernie Grunfeld has to save his job, evidenced by routinely giving up future assets for a quick fix at the trade deadline…

No matter how much desire coach Randy Wittman has in in his countless #EffortTalk speeches…

None of this means a damn thing when the players have no sense of urgency against a team that looked nothing like “Da Bulls,” no matter how hard you squint.
