Offense, turnovers, and lack of point guard

The Washington Wizards suffered a crushing 45-point defeat at home to a depleted Boston Celtics squad. In this episode, Ben Strober dives deep into the aftermath, breaking down Brian Keefe's brutally honest postgame press conference, and asking the question every fan is wondering: Where has the step forward actually been this season?

We analyze the lack of effort, questionable rotations, and concerns about developing young talent like Bub Carrington and Will Riley. Is the current rebuild stalling the growth of the Wizards’ promising core? Have veterans like C.J. McCollum and Chris Middleton really helped the team, or are they just taking up minutes?

Key topics covered include:

Full reaction to Wizards vs. Celtics blowout loss

The troubling trends in the Wizards’ rebuild

Problems with coaching, effort, and team culture

Defensive stats that highlight the team’s struggles

The usage of veteran players vs. developing young stars
