Steve Nash called the loss to the Indiana Pacers a diaster.
Brooklyn is 1-5 after six games of the season.
Per ESPN, “It was a disaster,” Nets coach Steve Nash said of the loss. “How else do you say it? I didn’t see the will, didn’t see the desire, or the connectivity necessary to get stops and get rebounds. … We just got to make a bigger commitment and it’s got to mean more and we got to care more.”
“It was a s—ty night,” Nets star forward Kevin Durant said. “Excuse my language, it was a bad night. … We’re pissed. We enjoy basketball. We like to win, though, so of course when we lose the games it’s going to be a somber mood in the locker room. But it will change once we start playing some good basketball. We got a lot of basketball to be played ahead of us.”
The signs of a meeting were apparent soon after the Nets’ latest disappointing loss. Nash, who usually speaks to the media a few minutes after the game ends, was delayed getting to his news conference. The Nets’ locker room, which usually opens right after Nash finishes speaking, was closed long after Nash’s news conference was completed. Once the locker room finally opened, the mood was somber as players dressed quietly in front of their locker stalls and headed out of Barclays Center.
“It was honest,” Nets swingman Ben Simmons said of the meeting. “We had a conversation. Obviously, I’m not going to talk about, but it was honest. That’s what winning teams do. Hold each other accountable, be able to be open and talk to your teammates, and respect that and be men.”
