On the 16th and 17th, the Bobcats were on a back-to-back road trip against the Philadelphia 76ers and Washington Wizards. They first suffered a narrow 87-94 loss to the 76ers, ending their four-game winning streak, then vented their frustration in the back-to-back game against the Wizards with a 112-87 slaughter.
The Wizards are completely done for. The "Gun Gate" incident was indeed exposed at the end of December, but it happened on December 19. Since then, the Wizards have only won two games, going from 10 wins and 14 losses to finishing this game at 12 wins and 28 losses, posing a huge threat to the Bucks, Knicks, and Pistons.
It was reported that after "Gun Gate," before things went public, Caron Butler and Jamison had already requested trades.
Since Jordan retired in 2003, the Wizards started rebuilding by acquiring Arenas, and after six years of effort, they have paid taxes for three years, essentially for nothing, being forced into tank mode.
