Will Hardy on the Wizards: “When there’s a coaching change, it’s interesting to watch how players react. I assume there are players happy with their role and players who hope this change gives them a different role. I expect to see a team that comes out and plays really hard.” – 6:13 PM

Maybe it’s just an outsider perspective… but that presser from Wizards management on why they fired Unseld seemed crazy to me.
They talked about how the team didn’t have competitiveness… guys, you gave Unseld an uncompetitive roster! – 5:57 PM

Mentioned #Celtics & #Heat players that come to mind. Kelly Olynyk, Ray Allen, Max Strus, Terry Rozier. Forgot about Crowder.
Others: Joel Anthony, Avery Bradley, Shaq, Eddie House, James Posey, PJ Brown, etc.
So many crossovers through the years: basketball-reference.com/friv/players-w…5:57 PM

New Wizards coach Brian Keefe on how they can improve their competitiveness: “I think we’ve gotta look in the mirror. We were part of the problem. I addressed that in the beginning, we’ve gotta own that first. We’ve gotta look inward and say ‘what can I do better?’“ pic.twitter.com/R8yhFNtNR25:56 PM

GM Will Dawkins on the Wizards moving forward under head coach Brian Keefe: “I think you’ll see more of a defensive mindset.”
Keefe: “Our main focus for us is we’ve gotta see growth defensively.” – 5:47 PM

After practicing with the Brooklyn Nets’ G League team this weekend, there’s optimism that Ben Simmons could return as soon as Monday vs. the Utah Jazz, sources tell ESPN. Simmons has been out with a lower back nerve impingement since November 6. pic.twitter.com/QRh7h3HcO05:39 PM

This is good by KAT — he sees that there is gap help (Poole) *and* low-man help (Gafford), so he decides not to go.
It’s not that KAT can’t get through gap help on the drive or navigate low-man help with a lob to Gobert — he’s forced it effectively many times. But because there… pic.twitter.com/Uh6OFlslNH5:14 PM
