After suffering one of the worst losing records in the franchise history and slipping to as big as 50/1 just to win their division the Washington Wizards not only look like a beaten team in the NBA but are now without a leader.

The club, who have a record of one and 10, have parted company with coach Eddie Jordan with not even a month played in the new season.

The writing was on the wall for Jordan when he watched his under performing and quite frankly poor looking side slump t the New York Knicks. In itself that would not normally be a particularly bad result for a team low on confidence but the side from ‘the big apple’ only had seven players available after a big day for them trading the previous Friday and still racked up 122 points on the wizards.

This exasperated a situation, which has seen Washington become bottom in every league and stats table. They are ranked 20th or worst in every key area including falling to 27th in points allowed and 24th in points scored and it doesn’t take a mathematical genius to work out that’s bad.

Some may feel sorry for the departing coach who, to a large extent, was a victim of circumstance. Jordan had to do without his superstar starting centre and, top two guys off the bench from last term and although coaches should be able to adapt that was a big handicap to start from.

The Wizards can now be backed at 150/1 to win the NBA title but on the evidence so far don’t waste your money.
