Joe Johnson isn’t satisfied with his team’s efforts so far this season.
The Brooklyn Nets are 4-2, but their inability to move the ball efficiently is a cause for concern, according to the 13-year veteran shooting guard.
“I just think guys kind of exhaust their options and then when there’s nothing else for them, then they’ll pass it when they have to,” Johnson told reporters, via the New York Post. “For the most part, we’ve been very selfish. Four and two, I mean, it’s pretty good, but I wouldn’t say it’s where we want to be right now against teams that aren’t playoff teams.”
Johnson, usually soft-spoken, mentioned he wouldn’t say anything if he didn’t believe it was a major issue.
“I don’t really say much,” he said. “If I’m speaking on something or saying something, then obviously it has to be something. So I’m not just talking for my health. I’m doing it or trying to do it for the betterment of the team.
“If I looked down the roster and saw that we didn’t have a championship-caliber team, then, nah, I wouldn’t say nothing.”
The Nets have earned their early-season victories against the Detroit Pistons, Oklahoma City Thunder, New York Knicks and Orlando Magic, all of whom possess losing records up to this point.
