Last week: 28 

After getting off to an absolutely terrible start to the season, the Washington Wizards have won three of their last four games. Still, it wasn’t all great. They should really be on a four-game winning streak but they dropped a game against the Nets a couple days ago.

If that hasn’t been a microcosm of their season, I don’t know what is. Washington is loaded with talent, but they simply continue to disappoint. Sooner or later, if they continue to fall short of expectations, something has to change.

Right?

Sadly, Scott Brooks could be on the chopping block soon. After all, short of a big blockbuster trade, the fall guy is usually the head coach.
