ANALYSIS/OPINION:
Once again, it’s time to check off some items on my “TIDU List” — Things I don’t Understand:
Why coach Randy Wittman waited so long.
Paul Pierce played just 4 percent of his regular-season minutes at power forward, even though he was outstanding there with the Brooklyn Nets. But in Game 1 of the Wizards’ series against Toronto, Pierce spent extended portions of his 36 minutes at the four, a key to Washington’s win. He had a game-high 20 points and was 4-for-7 on 3-pointers.
Maybe Wittman’s coaching chops become sharper in the postseason.
