Twenty-eight other NBA teams won at least once in February &#8212; and, of course, so did the Chiefs, the winners of Super Bowl LVIII.<\/p>\n<p>The Wizards opted to kick off a full-scale rebuild this season, something that <strong>Washington<\/strong>&#8216;s 9-50 record certainly reflects. Comparing one sport to another can be rife with pitfalls, but the championship-happy Chiefs are in stark contrast to the wanting Wizards. Washington has not won the <strong>NBA Finals<\/strong> since 1978, and it last advanced past the second round of the playoffs in 1979. <\/p>\n<p>Some thought that the offseason acquisition of <strong>Golden State Warriors<\/strong> guard <strong>Jordan Poole<\/strong> would give the Wizards a star to build around, but <strong>Poole<\/strong> has been benched recently by new coach <strong>Brian Keefe<\/strong> amid Washington&#8217;s offensive struggles. The <strong>Wiz<\/strong> rank 26th in offensive rating, despite playing at the fastest pace in the NBA.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"ue-c-article__subheadline\">Could the Wizards lose 70 games?<\/h2>\n<p>It has been eight years since an NBA team lost more than 70 games in a season, an infamous mark hit by only six teams in league history. The Wizards, on pace for 69 losses, might only narrowly avoid becoming the seventh. <\/p>\n<p>Washington is one of a whopping five teams on course for at least 60 regular-season losses &#8212; a list that includes the <strong>Detroit Pistons<\/strong> (who endured a record <strong>28-game losing streak<\/strong> this season) and the <strong>Portland Trail Blazers<\/strong>, the other NBA team that went the month of February without winning a game. It&#8217;s clear that the NBA has a parity issue it needs to address, and the calls will grow even louder if the Wizards are the team that ends up reaching the undesired mark of 70 defeats from 82 games.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">(function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];if(d.getElementById(id))return;js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=\"https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/es_ES\/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.8&appId=160427764002568&status=true&cookie=true\";fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}(document,'script','facebook-jssdk'));<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marca.com\/en\/nfl\/kansas-city-chiefs\/2024\/03\/01\/65e24b9de2704e99738b45d3.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Football season is over, but the sports world is still talking about the Kansas City Chiefs.
