[Hoop District] Kyle Kuzma on if the Wizards 4th quarter offense is too predictable “A lot of times we have the ball in the 4th and it’s Brad’s ball. It’s his time in the 4th and it’s his team so we just live and die by it and it’s cool. Whatever happens you just live with it.”

lol thats some leadership
Kuz and KP have both deferred to Beal pretty openly in press conferences. At first it was clearly support for the scoring talent that is Bradley Beal.

Lately it’s starting to sound less like “He’s our leader and we’re riding with him” and more like “that’s what the team wants to do so that’s what we’re doing”.

It sounds like it’s (past) time for a change.
The percentages say to go to Beal, but with a couple rough 4th quarters recently it may be time to switch it up. Hopefully the team has some good discourse about what to do
One player cannot control and shoot every single possession in crunch time. Especially not Beal. The numbers say his percentages are good but his turnovers seem to negate all that.
Why are we supposed to be convinced he’ll re-sign here
I will never understand force feeding a player in the clutch unless it is a true superstar like KD,Dame,Giannis,Steph and others of that caliber.
Why can’t we just run smart plays in crunch time or use Beal as a decoy to get a player open? Why do we insist on force feeding Beal when he will more than likely shit the bed.
Wow, what a totally depressing and disheartening quote.
Not sure if you guys saw that, but at the end of the Detroit game Kuz was wide open top of the key and was begging for the pass, didnt get it when Brad forced a short jumper and had that “Yeah, whatever” body language until we lucked out with the Gaff putback at the buzzer.
It sounds like in order to get Beal on board with sharing the spotlight with other players, they promised that the 4th quarter would be ‘his time’.
I’ve heard Beal reference this before this season. Beal has clearly taken this to heart, and now it is an albatross. Disappointing from the Supermax.
iso brad strikes again
We’re already having these conversations and its been half a season of his new contract.
It isn’t cool though. Beal is awesome but he has a problem dealing with double teams.
