Whether it’s rebounding issues, defensive lapses or offensive struggles, the Wizards haven’t played up to their potential this season.

That’s a player issue. But it’s more so a coaching issue.

New pod on the 114-75 loss to OKC:

The Wizards’ 75 points in tonight’s loss marked their lowest scoring output since January 2018.

FINAL | OKC 114, WAS 75

Easily the most embarrassing loss of the season. Reminiscent of those tanking blowouts.

The Wizards were outplayed in every aspect. Couldn't make open threes. Beat on backdoor cuts. Just a brutal showing.

Three takeaways:

This is the first time this season the Wizards have looked like the tanking Wizards.

Have been non-competitive for most of the game. Getting outplayed in nearly every area. Missing open looks. Bad turnovers. Defensive lapses.

Just a really bad showing.
