After a surprise win over Philadelphia, the Washington Wizards returned tonight (Saturday to Sunday) to their true capacity recently when they were defeated by Phoenix. It was the seventh loss in the team's last eight games from the capital when the Suns traveled without a problem and even led by 36 points during the game. This loss once again demonstrated how unbalanced Washington is and how explosive the situation in her locker room is.
Montreux Harrell who came to the team this summer fired in all directions in a post-match interview.
"Our bench players were not ready to fight when they came on the field. I'm tired of hearing excuses about energies. If you can not come up with energies for a basketball game - it's your job, and you get paid a lot of money for it - then I have nothing to say anymore. I'm tired of hearing "That's just a poor excuse. If you can not find the strength to play hard every night, then I'm sorry, but maybe you're in the wrong profession."
Earl added: "The situation in the locker room fucking sucks. Teams rip our asses off from start to finish. Our players have a competitive approach, they come to every game with the goal of winning, but still tear us up in every game lately. It's true no one is willing to give up, but "The locker room just sucks now. I like to win, I like to compete, and we are not in that situation right now."

"It sucks, bro. That's the mood of the team. It fucking sucks. Coming in here and teams are basically beating our ass from start to finish."

Cantabius Caldwell Pop also joined in the reviews, mostly on the defensive game.
“We’re all trying to figure out why we can’t play together,” he said.
"We have to go back to playing for each other, because right now it's not happening. Too many times we play one - on - one basketball, and that's not how a real team plays. "And it hurts us a lot on both sides of the field. We have no stability and we have no communication, and that is a difficult problem. It continues like this throughout the season."
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
