When planning and writing this piece, the Wizards were bringing up the rear of the Eastern Conference standings. But now the team has won three games on the bounce, making the words written below ring (maybe somewhat) hollow. You be the judge.
Without evidence, we think someone tipped Scott Brooks to the contents of this article. And how did he respond? He colluded with the coaches for the Rockets, Celtics, and Nuggets, to let their squads race out to big leads before letting the Wizards notch heroic comeback wins.
Even last night, Brooks and Michael Malone agreed that Jamal Murray could hit a game-tying three if Malone directed one of his players to foul Bradley Beal so he could win the game at the free throw line.
