Chapter 80: It's Not Even Your Turn
Translator: 549690339
The Wizards returned to D.C. from Boston, and after a day of rest, the Golden State Warriors became the first visitors to challenge them.
Ever since the Warriors botched the Chris Webber trade, they had gone seven consecutive seasons without making the playoffs, and this season, in the wild Western Conference, there seemed to be no hope for the playoffs either.
As a team aiming for the playoffs, if the Wizards truly had the ability to make it, they should have been able to win against such non-playoff teams.
The result was laughable. The fans expected to see a big win at home to dispel the gloom from two consecutive losses; however, Jordan and Hamilton turned into the Brick Brothers, combining for 8 out of 23 in the first half.
Hamilton was also harshly embarrassed by the Warriors' 3D player Larry Hughes due to his physique.
A furious Doug Collins once yelled at Hamilton from the sideline, "Rip, you can miss shots, but you can't fail to grab rebounds!"
