Candace Buckner: Scott Brooks on John Wall in the last 5 minutes without Bradley Beal: “A very determined player… that was attacking. He’s a big shot maker and play maker. It was what you expect and what you want from your all-star.”
Scott Brooks Rumors
Candace Buckner: Scott Brooks didn’t like the free-throw disparity after the first quarter but felt the #Wizards did foul a lot, especially when it came on DeRozan’s drives. “18 free throws is too often but we put them on the line.”
Josh Lewenberg: Brooks on his former player, Serge Ibaka: “He’s a terrific, if not one of the best jump shooting bigs in the league. If he gets shots he’s going to score on you.”
Candace Buckner: Scott Brooks is not changing the starting lineup because “I’m confident in the group.”
Candace Buckner: Brooks explaining another reason why there’s no starting change: “We need to counter their bench attack and Mike (Scott) has been a big part of that.”
Josh Lewenberg: Brooks on DeRozan: “He’s really good. I mean, he’s really, really good… I wish he would listen to those analytics guys and not take those long-2s.”
