The Washington Wizards are on the precipice of a defining stretch in the schedule – one that could determine if this team has playoff potential or is more likely to be lottery bound.
That may sound like a strong statement for early regular season basketball, but at 1-5 and near the bottom of the Eastern Conference, this may not be the ideal time to have in order, the Boston Celtics, Cleveland Cavaliers and Chicago Bulls on the schedule.
A slow start to the season can quickly go from bad to worse if Washington isn’t careful and before Thanksgiving weekend hits, fans may be more worried about the future of this team than the present.
