Jim Coulter (@Wiz_Weekly) joins Varun to break down the Wizards loss to the Nets, looking at why the defeat led to critical comments by Coach Brian Keefe and a players-only meeting. They then go through some early-season trends and try to determine which ones are real and which aren’t.

Due to technical difficulties, Varun goes solo for this episode and gives a quick, big-picture look at the Wizards start to the season. He looks at what matters and what doesn't from the early start and for the rest of the Wizards season. He also looks at some other draft-centric rebuilds to see how they looked when they were in Washington's position.
