142. All season long I’ve heard about how the Washington Wizards are dark horses in this Eastern Conference playoff race, even with the top of the standings sporting some surprisingly good teams. With the Wiz losing six of their last eight games, I’m not seeing it yet. <p>John Wall is the NBA’s best distributor, but I’m still waiting on Bradley Beal to show us the same player we saw in his breakout playoff performances last season. Washington just gave up the third seed to Chicago and if their skid continues, the Cleveland Cavaliers will quickly capitalize as well.</p>. (33-21). Previous: . Washington Wizards. 14. team
