As a Wizards fan, and a basketball fan in general, I think it's safe to say I'm disappointed in my team. Our record currently stands at 4-9, last in the Southeast Division and 12th in the Eastern Conference. Something isn't right. Going into this season I expected this team to be a 7 or 8 seed, probably a first round exit. I still have faith that we can get there. Someone you can't blame for the poor record is John Wall. As of 11/23, he is averaging 23.5 PPG, a career high, and 8.9 APG. He's shooting a little bit less 3's this year, however he's making a higher percentage of them this year. Scott Brooks has been resting Wall during the second game of back-to-backs lately, and I don't like that. You just can't do that with a record as bad as ours. I think the reason to our recent decline is our defense. We currently have a defensive rating of 108.7, ranked 23rd in the league. That's just too many points. Hopefully we turn things around, as Bradley Beal is starting to come out of his shell a little bit. This will probably give us a spark.
