It’s only preseason, but Wizards find their play unsettling
Before he answered questions Monday, Wizards forward Antawn Jamison insisted a television cameraman remove his Kentucky T-shirt. When the cameraman eventually complied, Jamison, a North Carolina alum, had won a small victory and provided some levity on a day when it largely was missing.
Coming off back-to-back blowout defeats to New Orleans last week in Europe, the Wizards are preparing for their season opener in eight days against New Jersey with some anxiety.
Washington (1-4) has averaged a paltry 78.6 points per game, shot 43.7 percent, and been out-scored by an average margin of 13.2. The Wizards look to iron out the kinks Wednesday night at San Antonio.
“We’re not doing the things offensively we’ve been taught the last couple of seasons. Defensively, we’re getting beat off the dribble, not talking, not communicating,” said Jamison. “Those things you can correct. We can’t feel like we can turn the switch as soon as the season gets started.”
