During the off-season the Brooklyn Nets dramatically revamped their roster, but as of today they're currently just a .500 team after Wednesday's 108-93 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks, bringing them to 14-14 record for the season.
"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.' "
Wallace's comments are remenisent to comments made by point guard Deron Williams, who was very critical of the offensive strategy.
With last night's loss the Nets have now lost five of their last six games.
"Anybody can talk, but we've got to go out and execute that out on the court, and right now we're really not doing that," Wallace said. "We play a good half or we play a great quarter, and then we go back to playing selfish ball offensively and defensively, and that's not getting us anywhere.
"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."
