Washington Wizards Mailbag Monday: Breaking Down Possible First Round Match Ups
By Ben Mehic
Washington Wizards are looking to secure home court advantage in the 2017 NBA Playoffs, but certain matchups could give them trouble in the first round.
Mondays, naturally, are tough.
Most people aren’t looking forward to their 9 to 5 jobs. After removing themselves from the workplace for two days, people dread the thought of returning to their offices. They down their coffee in the morning, which as Bill Burr described it, often tastes like dirty water and burns tongues.
But life will continue, no matter the circumstances. The potential for growth will always be there.
And so will Mailbag Monday.
The NBA season is a microcosm of life. Throughout the course of 82 games, there’s ups and downs – incredible wins, depressing losses, immeasurable joy and torturous pain.
It’s been decades, but the Washington Wizards have finally done it. They’ve become a legitimate contender, beating the Cleveland Cavaliers in dominant fashion on Saturday night after embarrassing the league’s worst Brooklyn Nets the day prior.
For the Wizards, life couldn’t be better.
With just 9 games remaining in the season, John Wall and the Wizards are preparing to solidify home court advantage in the NBA Playoffs. Soon, the team will learn who they’ll face in the first round, ultimately setting the stage for the remainder of the postseason.
Who should the Wizards avoid, though? Which team could derail the Wizards’ seemingly never-ending joyride? That’s the topic of today’s Mailbag.
