In the KFAN interview, Wittman mentioned McCants again, but did it in an interesting way. He said he was frustrated with McCants always shooting three's, because he was one of the few people on the team that can break people down and get to the basket, and the team needs that. I suppose you can say thats "calling someone out," but I think that the bar should be higher for players with more talent.
People may say that's not fair, and they may be right. But framed like that, half of it is a compliment, and the bottom line is that Wittman wants McCants to develop for the team, and for himself, and he believes he has that kind of ability in him. I don't think saying it like that is bad -- simply challenging a player that he compliments as talented.
Is McCants primarily to blame for 4th quarter collapses?

Good call. Like RC said, he is an emotional player.
When Shad is pissed he drives, I really like that aspect of his game.
