The 2024-25 Washington Wizards are at a level where they’re no longer playing the team in different colored uniforms. They’re playing history.
Their latest debacle was a 137-101 drubbing by the Dallas Mavericks. It was Washington’s 16th consecutive defeat — the third time in franchise history they’ve lost that many in a row. The last time was last season.
The other time was the 2009-10 squad that featured Gilbert Arenas and Javaris Crittenton bringing guns into the locker room, followed by team president Ernie Grunfeld blowing up the team by trading off all the salable veterans.
