Pregame notes

The Wizards continue on their relaxed tour — The Wizards started the preseason with all the opportunity in the world to show the world that all that talk about their lack of culture and motvation is just a media narrative. Well, so much for that. Their first quarter in Montreal on Sunday showed exactly what to expect from them this season, to the tune of a humiliating first quarter blow-out 16-34. The Raptors felt no more need for their starters after these first few minutes, probably garnering themselves some new fans in Montreal.

The Wizards on the other hand, as is #SoWizards, continued “to compete” for the rest of the game, keeping the game from going into any bigger blow-out in the 2nd and 3rd quarters, leaving the possibility open for a fake 4th quarter “comeback” against Toronto reserves of reserves… which of course didn’t materialize. Nothing new for Wizards fans.

Tomorrow they play the Knicks, and it’d be surprising if the script is any different. A couple minutes of Knicks starters to blow-open the game, and then the Knicks starters cheering on their end-of-rotation teammates and G-League two-way players as they pad their own stats.

But maybe I’ll be wrong. And I won’t be mad if I am.
