The Washington Wizards are currently 6-6. In the past, a .500 record would’ve been good enough for fifth place in the Eastern Conference. Now that the Miami Heat, Detroit Pistons, New York Knicks and others have all made improvements, .500 might not be good enough to sneak into the playoffs.
Regardless, we all thought the Wizards would compete for a top spot in the East prior to the beginning of the season. Right now, they don’t look like a top team. In fact, they looked rather mediocre.
The star players — John Wall and Bradley Beal — haven’t shown up when the team needs them most and the big men have been bullied all season long.
