Kyrie Irving voiced more concern after the Boston Celtics' slow start continued with Saturday's 113-104 loss to the Dallas Mavericks.
"You're almost at that rock bottom point where the team is about to blow up," said Irving, according to Sports Illustrated's Chris Mannix. "Not saying that we're there, but for me there is no more time to waste."
It's not the first time Irving has publicly addressed his team's struggles. Earlier this season, the five-time All-Star challenged young stars Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown to get used to the pressures of performing each night.
Despite Monday's win against the New Orleans Pelicans, the Celtics are 11-10 and sit sixth in the Eastern Conference standings entering Tuesday night.
Irving leads the team in points (22.0), assists (6.4), and steals (1.90) per game.
