Washington Wizards players train ahead of game against Orlando (from Washington's Twitter)

Something bad is happening to Washington.

Admittedly already three times this season the Wizards have lost twice in a row and responded with a win, but this time it seems a little more worrying, given the fact that Washington was defeated twice in a row, after opening the game in a very bad way and nervously.

In the defeat to Cleveland they were already 36 points behind, tonight in the loss to Toronto they were 25 points behind, and in both games Washington lost the game too quickly, and too easily.



On Friday the Wizards allowed Cleveland to record a 0:19 run in the second quarter.

Against the Toronto Wizards they scored only 12 points in the first quarter (negative record) and in the second quarter conceded 40 points.

Tonight they will meet Indiana in a back-to-back game, night after night.

"There's a challenge when things are not going well," coach Wes Ansald Jr. said, "what we are and who we are, only time will tell."

Indeed, that is a question. Washington with a reasonable balance of 10:14, close to Miami at the top of the Southeastern House, is only 2.5 games away from Brooklyn at the top of the East, and has already proven this season that it knows how to come back from behind, with some impressive comebacks. On the other hand, it has lost three of its last four games and 7 of its last 11, and more than that - the slack in the last two games should worry Washington, which opened the season with a balance of 3:10. "At the start of the season we knew how to get out of those stumbles," Anseld says, "so now it's a test, and we have to get out of it together, find the way."



Washington's instability is also felt in Danny Abdia, who in front of Toronto finished without points.

Precisely after the Israeli enjoyed a season-high 16 points in a loss to Cleveland and finished with 6 of 10 from the field, against the Raptors he threw to the basket only once in 16 minutes.

Tonight his plus-minus balance was minus 17, the second lowest on the team (only Davis Bartens had a lower, minus 19).

In his 7 minutes in the first half he touched the ball a few times and was not involved in the attack at all.

And of course Abdia is not alone. The data show that in the last 11 games, the Wizards are only in 23rd place in the league in the offensive ranking and 26th in the defensive ranking. Cantabius Caldwell Pop, who scored 26 points against Toronto, claims something went wrong in the team chemistry. "It's a lazy mentality," Coldwell Pop said of his friends' bad opener, "there are games we go up to like it's already ours .... "We have to trust each other, and trust each other. We must not fall just because one person comes with the wrong attitude. We are together. We lose together, we win together."



NBC wrote that "it's not clear what Caldwell Pop meant when he said 'one person with the wrong attitude', it can be interpreted in some ways, but he insists everything is fine in the locker room. However, it's clear the players are not coordinated at the moment. From the way they react to the situation. "
