Durant Blasts Teammates For "F**ked Up Attitude" After Embarrassing Loss

After the Brooklyn Nets' embarrassing 4th quarter collapse to an undermanned Los Angeles Clippers, Kevin Durant called out his teammates with a slew of expletives. 

We came in here with a f**ked up attitude to start, thinking we were just gonna walk into a W,” Durant said. “Hopefully, a loss like this sit in your brain until tomorrow. … If you ain’t feeling like s**t after this game, you gotta look yourself in the mirror.”

The Nets gave up a disastrous 71 points in the 2nd half, 40 in the 4th quarter, to choke this one away. "We’re going to continue to get our ass kicked if we don’t approach the game in a proper way,” continued KD. 

The Nets' lack of shooting (outside of Durant and Harden) was glaring in this one as well. Once Patty Mills fouled out, the Clippers took advantage.

Head coach Steve Nash tried to be a little more diplomatic about his team's effort, but his message was clear. 

“Obviously, I tell them that that can’t be us and that can’t be the level that we are gonna accept and that we have to decide what’s acceptable for us and what’s not,” said Nash.

With the loss, the Nets drop out of 1st in the Eastern Conference, with the Chicago Bulls moving one game up.
