”We competed in the second half against Washington, competed for three quarters last night (against the Knicks) but for some reason we can’t do it for a full game,” he said.

“That’s what we’ve got to do. We’ve got to take ownership and point to ourselves. Can’t blame the coaches, can’t blame the performance staff, we’ve got to look ourselves in the mirror and we’ve got to compete at a higher level.”

“We’re getting good shots, but we can get great shots,” said the nine-year vet. “We’re taking a lot of contested three’s, a lot of contested lay-ups that we could dump off or kick out. Those same shots we were hitting early on, and now we’re not. Teams are keying in on us so now we’ve got to move the ball and make that extra pass. We’ve got to pass up good shots and get great shots.”

”Anytime that you’re not at the level in which you want to get wins, you definitely have to compete hard,” he said. “You have to be more focused, more locked in and have an attention to detail that’s obviously not there because if it were there then we’d be winning – we haven’t been making our shots at a high level for what, four or five games maybe? You could call this what you want, but at the end of the day, this is our job, we have to be better at it, and that’s what we’re looking to do.”

You can see DMC got the message and is hustling out there. Go Brooklyn!

Dinwiddie
