Wizards Start Worst in Team History
All of the preseason talk about possibly being a playoff team and reversing the direction of a franchise that has been mired in misery and off-court shenanigans over the past four seasons had been quelled. All of the excuses about being without John Wall and Nene had gone mute.

After a 96-89 loss on Monday to the Indiana Pacers at Verizon Center, the Wizards are a franchise-worst 0-9, breaking the previous mark for futility set last season, when they lost eight in a row.
