Wizards' Nene: 'Our young guys must take their heads out their butts'

The Wizards are 2-6 for a third consecutive season. 

Frustration is inevitably high as many thought Washington could be fighting for a playoff spot this year. And following a 92-79 loss to the Spurs on Wednesday, Wizards big man Nene had some harsh words for his teammates.

Per the Washington Post:

“They kicked our butts in the most classy way — playing the right way,” Nene said, fuming following the clinical destruction of the Wizards by the selfless Spurs. “It’s crazy, that’s what makes me mad. Our young guys think they’re so smart. But if I was young, I would watch video of that game for one week to see if I could learn something, because the way they play is how you’re supposed to play.

“They not talented as us,” Nene continued. “They have great players, a great team, but the way they execute things, the way they cut, the way they exploit weaknesses, swing the ball. They don’t think about stats. We still think about stats. Our young guys must take their heads out their butts and play the right way, because I’m getting tired of this.”

As a reminder, Nene had four points and two rebounds on 2-of-6 shooting against the Spurs, so it's not like he was spectacular himself or anything.
