The Brooklyn Nets are in free-fall at the moment, after an 11-4 start to their season the team has lost 10 of it’s last 13 to drop to .500 following last night’s loss at Milwaukee. The body language on the players has been poor during the losing streak and veteran Gerald Wallace has had enough. He says he’s tired of the losing and called out the team – the entire team – for seemingly being content with the status quo.
“We’re a way better team than what our record is,” Gerald Wallace said. “I’m [bleeping ticked] off about us losing, and especially the way we’re losing. It’s mind-boggling that we’re in the situation we’re in. As good of a team as we are, as good as started off … you saw the potential we had as a team, and the talent we have as a team. And yet, still, instead of team, it’s more of ‘I.’
“Confidence is our problem now,” he said. “I think that’s our main problem. Guys have got too much confidence in themselves and are not trusting in the team. Our main thing is we’ve got to get back to a team concept, all for one. Offensively and defensively, when we move the ball, we execute, we take care of the ball, we make the extra pass. … We’ve got to do everything as a team instead of relying on one guy to do this and one guy to do that.”
The Nets now face Charlotte at home on Friday, and the Cavaliers on Saturday. Both games have now turned into must-wins for the struggling franchise.
