NBA 2021-22 will see Washington Wizards facing off against OKC on Wednesday, 12 January 2022 at 05:30 AM IST
Washington has been following a chain-win, loss, win, loss. It means that the team is unable to put together a winning streak.
Well, there have been some encouraging signs though. Beal, although, he is not scoring at last season’s rate has been scoring 25+, Kuzma has dramatically increased his scoring range by 7-8 points or even more while being a force on rebounds, Gafford has been holding the fort in the middle and Dinwiddie, after a terrible time offensively in December, may have gotten to his 15+ points scoring ways.
However, the bench has been underwhelming all season long and doesn’t give much production, which makes it harder to sustain the rhythm especially against teams that are deep and can deploy effective bench players, that is why, except Montrezl Harrell, who has been in and out of the lineup recently, Washington has struggled to find consistent production from their back-up players.
That is one area that the Wizards may address through trades, yet, I feel with Hachimura returning, the frontline can be bolstered.
The young Thunder team has battled on the defensive end, holding oppositions to 100 or below in many games this season.
Their defense has been one of the best recently and it is true that the team has some high-quality two-way players.
The lineup lacks experience and there is a significant shortage of offensive options, especially at the big Forward and Center position.
And recently, the team has lost its zip on offense even further with both Shai and Dort, the top two scorers struggling to shoot efficiently, just jacking up shots with little results.
Giddey has been a revelation in his rookie season, pulling off all-around statistics and showcasing tremendous promise.
Jeremiah Robinson-Earl(whose name I like a lot) has been playing some athletic basketball but yes, he is a work in progress right now.
Thunder has some decent players who at least battle it out on the defensive end and if they could fix their rebounding a bit more, the team can win more.
