He's covering his ass for making an in game mistake.  They should have known McCollum had five fouls and I bet they didn't.

This offense doesn't move the ball late in games.  How exactly are you going to attack McCollum when all he has to do is not switch onto Beal to avoid having to defend at all?

Weren't we trying to post up IT to death in the playoffs last year because of his height?  What the hell is Scott talking about?

We were?  In most of that series we failed to attack IT.  We make it easy to hide a bad defender, especially in the second half.

they put IT on Otto, and Otto has zero back to the basket game so IT didnt have to work that much.

 

Otto has a high post game.  He posted up IT in at least one of those games multiple times in a row and they had to switch IT off of him.  They've used the strategy of targeting a particular defender before, Scott Brooks's excuse here smells like BS.

that was game 1 or 2

 

The rest of the series it wasnt a good.

 

They were throwing it to Otto in the low post from what I remember.

 

Brooks is just a bad coach.

I suspect Blake Griffin is going to be done for the season.  The Clippers are going to tank and Jordan has a player option for next season.  We have to call them about him.

Making the salaries work without crippling the Wizards would be difficult.

That play where Gortat fouled on a dunk, is a perfect example of the Wizards horrible defense.  Porter and Gortat trap the PnR.  The pick predictably rolls to the basket, no one rotates over.  Wolves pass to the rolling big now standing at the rim Gortat is now behind the play and can't recover.   Easy bucket.  This team does not know when to rotate or even who is supposed to rotate.  It's not just a lack of weakside footspeed, these guys simply aren't prepared.
