Scott Brooks is taking the brunt of his players' frustrations. First John Wall berates him in practice, and then Kelly Oubre does it during a game. Things in the nation's capital are really bad right now and they could get even worse.
The Wizards are 5-11 on the season. They have the second-worst defense in the NBA, as the team is giving up a whopping 116.9 points per game. The players don't look like they want to play with each other. John Wall and Bradley Beal called out guys earlier in the year for playing selfishly.
Wizards general manager Ernie Grunfeld has to consider blowing this thing up and embarking on a rebuild. You can't have multiple players cursing out a coach. It just can't happen. It doesn't paint your franchise in a good light. Even though the Eastern Conference is wide-open now that LeBron James is out West, the Wizards haven't shown anything so far that gives off the impression they can turn it around and make a run.
Kelly Oubre is in his fourth season with the Wizards. The 22-year-old is averaging 12.6 points and 4.5 rebounds on the season while shooting 42.0 percent from the field and 28.0 percent from beyond the arc.
