Avery Johnson criticizes Brook Lopez for his recent play

Question

Why Avery Johnson criticizes Brook Lopez for his recent play? Someone tell me

Answer 1

While Brook Lopez, the starting centre for the New Jersey Nets (4-9), played well statistically over the Nets’ recent four-game road trip, he made two critical mistakes in the dying moments of two games, potentially costing his team two wins. His mistakes prompted some public criticism from New Jersey coach Avery Johnson, who said the 7ft 0in Lopez needs to rebound better, needs to make better decisions down the stretch, and has to be a more dominant physical presence.
