Both these posts are beautiful.
JB can spin his remarks any way he wants, he's the captain and has been at the helm for 40 + years, with tremendous success, etc. But, your highlighted remark is a perfect example of his coaching techniques in regards to players he chooses to take his frustrations out on, even if it may be unwarranted and meant for the true culprit. It's rather comical. It goes back years and years...DC would take this outside shot that JB of course didn't want him ever taking, and then pull and curse out Seikaly for not being in position for the rebound...
JB clearly feels that the drop off after Frank is substantial enough to where he feels they can't win, otherwise, Washington would get more run. 100% in agreement that Frank is safe by default, and, he knows it and is very, very fortunate that JB and co. have missed out so badly on point guards over the past few years since Ennis' departure.
The drop off from FH to HW is not that substantial at all and we may never get to see that on the court. But what we WILL find out is that FH WILL wear down if he keeps playing 40. Tyus too. Tyus needs to play 36-37 minutes, I agree with that, but not 40.
(Cue all the people saying JB has 1,000 wins and can't be questioned)
