The Washington Wizards continue to find ways to lose games by double digits this season, getting blown out by the Charlotte Hornets on Sunday, 119-97. Following Sunday's lopsided loss, Bradley Beal expressed his frustration with yet another ugly loss.
Beal was truly fed up:
Bradley Beal after @NeilDalal96 asks where the Wizards go from here: "I don’t wanna sound like a smart ass, but we’re going to Chicago.”
Says, “We just kinda let teams walk over us, and that shit is frustrating. … So yeah, we just move onto Chicago."

Bradley Beal on the locker room: "There’s no laughter. There’s no chatter. Nobody’s happy. I guess the only positive is that it seems like we care, but we gotta carry it over to the floor."

With the latest disappointing loss to the Hornets, the Wizards are now 5-15, which ties them for the fewest wins in the entire NBA. The Detroit Pistons are the only other team in the league with five or fewer wins right now.
To make matters worse for Washington, the last seven losses have all been by 11 or more points. Also, only two of those seven losses came against teams with a winning record at the current moment.
Despite the trade rumors surrounding him, Bradley Beal has made it clear that he wants to remain in Washington. However, the Wizards aren't doing a great job convincing him he should actually want to stick around for the long haul.
In his first 19 games of the season, Beal is accounting for a league-high 33.2 points per game on an impressive 47.3 percent shooting. He's also shooting a career-best 88.2 percent from the free-throw line this season. Unfortunately, these huge numbers aren't translating to many wins.
When the Wizards acquired Russell Westbrook to pair with Beal, they believed it would help them return to the playoffs. Instead, Washington is looking like a lottery team that could upset Bradley Beal enough to force his way out sooner rather than later.
