“We gotta learn. You can use a lot of excuses. We’re young blah, blah blah, blah... this and that. Once you step on the floor, you’re playing for an NBA team and it’s been ridiculously bad. There’s no other words. But I have to be better. We gotta rally together. We gotta do it together. Yeah, everybody’s pissed. We’re pissed off. But in a good way. I’m still confident in our group. We’ve got a lot of season left.”
That is an amalgamation of quotes from Ricky Rubio after the Minnesota Timberwolves went 0-2 in their Los Angeles stop, and from Bradley Beal after the Washington Wizards fell to 0-5 on Thursday night.
