Real GM: New York Daily News - It looks like some of the Knick veterans are fed up as well. After losing their ninth straight game, during a post game meeting which included coach Larry Brown, Quentin Richardson and Malik Rose, like Brown earlier, accused some Knicks of not caring and not competing.
"I played for the Clippers and we were bad, but I don't remember being around anything like this," Richardson said. "I never lost games like this. It seems like we don't care."
The team fell behind by 31 to the Wizards early in the fourth quarter and finished the game with 28 turnovers and 30 field goals.
Rose, who won two championships with the San Antonio Spurs , couldn't let another dreadful performance pass without saying something.
"Will it make a difference, I don't know," Rose said. "My gut is, I doubt it to be honest. It's at the point where I have to say something. If it falls on deaf ears so be it."
When asked why his message would fall on deaf ears, Rose added: "Maybe some guys don't want to hear it, some guys don't want to do it. At this point I don't really care. I'm going to do what I can to make this team better. I can't control people's attitudes at this point in the year. They're so set in what we've been doing. If you want to do it that way, do it."
