Fans of ‘offense only’ basketball will enjoy these Wizards. When comments emerge from the players discussing defense it’s hard to take them seriously.

Especially when it feels like the dangling carrot tossed out to every opponent is a test to see if they are interested in waging in an all-out offensive free for all. The only team to hold them under 100 points was the OKC Thunder but they lost the match by beating themselves too.
