The back of the Wizards has just crossed the bar of 15,000 points in the NBA this night. In a complicated season for Washington, Bradley Beal even has the opportunity to break the franchise’s points record.
It shines as it can in the capital. To the Wizards, Bradley Beal crossed the 15,000 career point mark last night. This happened in a loss to the Warriors, during which he and his Latvian sidekick Kristaps Porzingis mightn’t do anything more once morest the Warriors. Beal, 33 points in this match, reached this milestone following a lay-up at the start of the 4th quarter. One more lay-up to try to carry the Wizards on his back, as he has been doing for now… over ten years. Today at the gates of the play-in, it is hard to imagine Washington hoping for something this season, if not entering the Playoffs through the back door before being insolently taken out of it by the first from the East. Basically, as usual. Indeed, during this decade the Magicians cracked the postseason five times, without however ever going further than the semi-final of conference.

Like the Lakers, whose season can be summed up for the moment by LeBron James’ points record, the two Wizards fans in France are perhaps waiting for another record to be broken: that of the number of points established by a player in Washington. Today it’s Elvin Hayes who owns this title, with 15,551 registered units. Bradley Beal, who runs at 22 career points per game, might decently go for this record by the end of the year. Or maybe these two fans are just waiting for us to finally deliver their franchise from mid-pack hell.
