The Brooklyn Nets had a lot of hype surrounding them coming into this season, and unlike their New York counterpart Knicks, they have not quite lived up to it. With a deep roster and star power, the Nets were expected to be one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference. Their frustrations were summed up by swing man Gerald Wallace, who called out his teammates for their complacency amongst a bad streak. Always enjoy talking to Gerald because he gets it. He has no problem saying what’s on his mind & he brought the heat during a postgame chat — Rod Boone (@rodboone) December 27, 2012 Gerald: “Guys are content with the situation we are in & I’m f—— pissed off about us losing, especially losing the way we are losing.” — Rod Boone (@rodboone) December 27, 2012 This is coming off of a game where the Nets looked very bad against another struggling team, the Boston Celtics, on Christmas day. It is still early in the season, but not early enough where bad losses can just be shrugged off. The Nets need to live up to their expectations. The time is now, and “Crash” knows it. -Mark Evans, Assistant Manager/Editor of Content Follow us on Twitter The post Gerald Wallace Calls Out His Teammates appeared first on Pass The Pill.

When the Nets dramatically overhauled their roster this summer, the plan wasn’t to put together a .500 team. But that’s exactly what they are after last night’s 108-93 loss to the Bucks dropped them to 14-14 this 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...

Nets: Should Deron Williams Continue to Start in Brooklyn?
The Brooklyn Nets will continue to start disgruntled point guard Deron Williams, for the moment. Williams should not be on the floor for the Nets if he doesn’t plan on giving an all-star effort.
Is this a top tier point guard or selfish brat?
Williams is quitting on his teammates not himself like Mark Sanchez, the other New York nemesis. If the Nets star doesn’t change his attitude...
