The Wizards lost, and I’m annoyed — thought not because they lost. In yet another woebegone season, losing to the New York Knicks in game 81 was the best thing for the franchise and its fortunes over the next few seasons. Probably.
Sure, the Wizards weren’t exactly trying to lose, but they did sit Kristaps Porzingis and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, in addition to Bradley Beal and Kyle Kuzma, which probably increased the odds a bit.
So, what has me annoyed? The pollyannish tomfoolery that got peddled on the broadcast. I get the imperative to find something to positive to say.
