"It seems like guys are content with the situation that we are in, and I'm f------ pissed off about us losing, especially losing the way we are losing," Wallace said in the post-game without naming names. "We’re a way better team than what our record is."
"We play a good half or a great quarter and then we go back to playing selfish ball ... that’s not getting us anywhere."
"It’s mind-boggling that we’re in the situation we’re in," Wallace continued. "As good of a team as we are, as good as started off ... you saw the potential we had as a team, and the talent we have as a team. And yet, still, instead of team, it’s more of ‘I.’ "
"Confidence is our problem now," he said. "I think that’s our main problem. Guys have got too much confidence in themselves and are not trusting in the team.
"Our main thing is we’ve got to get back to a team concept, all for one. Offensively and defensively, when we move the ball, we execute, we take care of the ball, we make the extra pass. ... We’ve got to do everything as a team instead of relying on one guy to do this and one guy to do that."

I know this was mentioned in the Bucks game thread but I think it deserves its own topic.
What does this mean, big picture? Crash has obviously taken the role of leader on this team since Deron can't seem to get his **** together. And I really like him as a player and really appreciate what he means to this team. He doesn't need to be the #1-4 option in any given lineup, his presence is felt all over the floor, he doesn't give up when the team is down by 20, and he's just a great glue guy and defender who's always willing to give up his body.
Does Crash calling his teammates selfish has a more subtle meaning too....? as in ISO plays are not working?
Or is he referring to certain people? I can't really seem to figure who he might be talking about... Blatche would be the first guy that comes to mind.
I'm just sick of watching this team implode every game. They definitely have the talent, and I think they're really 1-2 role players away from getting the the ECF if they're playing to all of their strengths.
I just think Avery's play calling and rotations are completely mind boggling. I think he's lost the team. His team was embarassed on Christmas day, and then lost again to a team they haven't beat in 4 years. He's really got to go.
What do you guys take from Wallace's comments?
