Nets’ Joe Johnson rips teammates for ‘selfish’ play

A frustrated Joe Johnson warned that if the Brooklyn Nets don't stop playing selfishly, they'll be in trouble on their daunting three-game Western road swing.

Before taking off to fly to Phoenix, the normally reserved and quiet Johnson voiced very strong concerns about the Nets playing "very selfish."

"Defensively we help from time to time," Johnson said after Tuesday's practice. "Offensively, I think guys kind of exhaust their options and then when there is nothing else for them, then they'll pass it when they have to. For the most part, we have been very selfish."
