Going to New Orleans the night before Thanksgiving, the Wizards could have stomped the sad-sack Pelicans and signaled their hot start was more than a hot streak. Instead, they got stomped, 127-102, and the beat-down they took just raised more questions.
Earlier in the day, Ron Oakes-Cunningham and I put out the latest episode of the #SoWizards Podcast where we discussed what’s missing from the Wizards offense. We identified two main issues:
- Their offense doesn’t create many open shots. They’re dead last in the league in attempting open shots.
- They’re among the league’s worst teams so far this year in converting the open shots they manage to get.
