Both have been selected as long-term projects, and although they have proven to have physical abilities to For valuable players in the future, they did not show it tonight. “
Washington continue to be uneasy after another loss, and at the end of the game Westbrook chose not to talk to the media. Coach Scott Brooks, who on social media is calling for his dismissal, still believes in the team: “There are many more games left this season. It is always hard to get a first win. We will continue to work hard to find solutions, I have confidence in this team.”
Wizards star Bradley Bill, who scored 28 points tonight, was asked what the team needs to change to start winning and replied: “Everyone has their own rituals, I don’t mean to change mine but I have to be better. We need to be together, get out of it together. “The atmosphere in the locker room? Everyone is angry, but in a good way.”
Washington will have the opportunity to register a premiere victory tonight (Friday to Saturday, 3:00 Israel time) when they play against Minnesota, which is in a 2: 2 balance.
