Amar’e Stoudemire has barely been in Dallas a month, but he’s not playing any games. The man went there to win a championship and he’s not happy with the results so far.
After an embarrassing loss at home to the Cavs, Stoudemire called out his teammates. You love to see this from a veteran, but it will be interesting to see how his teammates react to this given he has only been there a short time.
“I came here to win, and we’re [4 ½] games out of being out of the playoffs, which is unacceptable,” Stoudemire said after the Cleveland Cavaliers cruised to a 127-94 win over the Mavs at the American Airlines Center. “This is something we can’t accept. We’ve got to find a way to refocus. We’ve got to key into the details of the game of basketball.
“We can’t cheat the game. We can’t screw around in games and practices and joke around all the time and figure we’re going to win games. This is the pros. It’s the highest level of basketball. We’ve got to act that way.”
