With the return of Nene and Gary Neal to practice, things seem to be going in the right direction for the Washington Wizards…kind of.
Getting healthy as a team is never a bad thing, but the Wizards should be beyond the point of thinking health will change their fate in the conference. The verdict is in. Over their past 82 regular season games, the Washington Wizards are 38-44 — a .463 winning percentage. That is not indicative of an Eastern Conference Finals team.
Hypothetically? Sure. If the Washington Wizards core from last year and new additions to the roster ever had a sustained stretch of healthy, chemistry building basketball, they might be able to make a push in an Eastern Conference where there is Cleveland, then everybody else.
