Brooklyn Nets point guard Kyrie Irving
isn’t ready to sound the alarm after the team suffered its seventh
straight loss Friday night to the Utah Jazz, but he admitted there’s
a lot of work to do for the squad to reach its potential.
Irving discussed his view of the Nets’
current situation after scoring 15 points in the 125-102 loss to the Jazz:
“It’s really just where we are,
facing reality, that we’re not winning ballgames right now. And we got to kind of get out of
that hole with just one win and then start a new streak from that
point. But no time to feel like our season is in doomsday or we need
to push the panic button at all points, but we have to face reality
that a lot of guys, a lot of my teammates, we’re still getting to
know one another, how we play, what’s our spots, offensive and
defensive tendencies.
“And then communication. Knowing
that we can get on guys and guys love to be coached. And it’s not
just from the head coach or the assistants but really just from us as
teammates. Trusting that we have the experience to win basketball
games.”
