Brooks "Outraged" at Danny Abdia's Defense: "You Can't Do So Many Offenses"
The Washington coach implicitly criticized the Israeli rookie after the loss to Boston and on the other hand praised Isaac Bonga who "stole" the minutes of the loss, in what seemed like the beginning of a trend.

Danny Abdia continues to lose height in his rookie season.
After opening the season impressively, earning his place in the top five and scoring high percentages outside the arc, the 20-year-old Israeli's status continues to decline, and accordingly his number of minutes in Washington drops significantly.
Tonight (Sunday to Monday) came a low point: Abdia set a negative record this season as a partner for only 7 minutes in a 111: 110 loss to Boston, and did not play at all in the second half.
Abdia came in late in the first quarter and continued his obscene habit of accumulating offenses quickly.
He suffered three fouls, went down to the bench and did not return, with Isaac Bonga barely playing this season taking his place in the second half and getting a few double-digit minutes for the first time since February 5th.
Bonga did not score and finished his 16 minutes with 0 of 5 from the three, but helped the Wizards on defense, which Abdia failed to do.
"It's a tough league and sometimes there are games like that," Washington coach Scott Brooks explained of Abdia's bench.
"The next game against Memphis could be his game, but today we needed someone to give us a defensive presence without committing so many fouls. Anyway, his three fouls in the second quarter didn't lose us the game, but we had to move on to the next player in rotation."

According to NBC, Brooks is "outraged" at Abdia's defensive performance.
He even had a hard time hiding his disappointment from losing her when asked about the minutes he gave Bonga.
"We need good guards who can save from fouls. For that we have a squad of 15 players, everyone has to be ready. No one gets minutes just like that, without earning them. When you enter the pitch, you have to save. You can not make fouls all the time. "Can not help the opponent make basket and offense moves and send them to penalties."
Brooks hinted that the trend may continue in the coming games as well, and that Bonga will continue to get credit from him despite the minimal contribution on offense.
"Isaac is going to improve his shooting from three. I think at the end of the day, if we had won, his minutes would have won our game. He is one who works hard before and after games, and does everything to earn his chances. And today he was ready for the challenge, should give He has credit. "
not calm.

Regardless of the loss, Washington were very disappointed with the final minutes of the loss.
The Wizards were already leading by 8 points with three minutes left and were in a winning position with a 5-point lead with just over half a minute left for the buzzer, but Jason Taitum took matters into his own hands with 8 quick points, and Bradley lost one ball and missed in the final second.
"It's one of the most sloppy endings I've ever seen in my life," said the angry Bradley Bill, who finished with 46 points that were not enough to win either.
"We let Jason Taitum get to three lay-ups at the end, and that makes me angry. We had to win this game," he said.
Brooks blamed himself for the loss, after the drill he drew for Bradley Bill in the penultimate offense led to a loss.
"I had to call a timeout. I regret it, and feel I have a big part in the loss," said Brooks, who did not respond to Bill's entanglement on the outside line, which led to the decisive loss.
