Randy Whittman is what's wrong with the Wizards. His insistence on rolling with the 2nd unit while leads evaporate is infuriating. Also, he does not willingly change his rotation, which is part of what leads to my prior point. It's really sad. He needs to go.
Other than that, the team just looks lethargic. They're in the tank right now. I don't know if firing Whittman fixes everything, but I'm starting to think it can't hurt.
Adding to it, other than the first sentence this paragraph is spot on:

I don’t even have a problem with his allergy to 3s. But if he wants to play big, playing Seraphin and Humphries over Gortat is incomprehensible. An offense designed around dribble handoffs to free up 18-foot jumpers makes no sense. Neither does feeding it into post players who suck at post-ups. Run a pick-and-roll with Gortat and Wall; run high screens for Wall to drive and kick to Beal for 3-pointers; go small with Pierce at the 4 and Otto Porter at the 3. I’m not a basketball coach, and I know Grunfeld’s roster is rough, but a team with Wall at point guard should never look this bad on offense.
