For most of the 4th quarter, he played our "death lineup": Wall, Beal, Oubre, Porter, Gortat.
The only exception was in the first 2 minutes when it was still mostly the bench (understandable). Then from 10 minutes to 8 minutes he kept Lawson on the floor instead of subbing Porter in for him. So that's two minutes of stupidity, I'll grant you that. From 8 minutes on, he basically played our death lineup as much as he could. With 4:46 to go, he brought in Morris for Oubre at a time when Oubre had already logged 12 straight minutes and needed a blow. He got Oubre right back in at the 2:58 mark, replacing Gortat who had already logged 11 straight minutes. Other than waiting 2 minutes too long to get Porter in, I don't really see why one would complain about the rotations in the 4th.
(I say this with the caveat that it's probably unreasonable to expect Brooks to sit All-Star SG Bradley Beal in crunch time, even though in reality, he should.)
Timeout, he played “the death lineup” for 3 minutes. The garbage time does NOT count. Don’t twist it. They lost the game when Morris came back in (against small ball Toronto lineup)
He went to the Scott/Morris frontcourt in the 3rd for NO REASON, after Mahinmi played well in the first half. He didn’t play Satoransky in the 2nd half, elected to play Lawson for way too long.
The lineups were AWFUL, Porter didn’t play enough. They played small for 3 minutes, don’t twist is nate
For once I would say go to bullets forever because most people there think the lineups were horrible.
Scott Brooks is not a good coach.
He is the main reason the Wizards lost yesterday.
