The Nets are actually on a two game winning streak.
The 4-2 Nets are playing well, but that still didn’t stop Joe Johnson from blasting his teammates for their “selfish” play. Johnson voiced his frustration to the media after Monday’s practice according to Andy Vasquez of The Record in New Jersey.
The Nets have won four-of-five and this is the most frustrated I've seen Joe Johnson as a Net. Only time it was close was early last season.

“We haven’t played anybody.”
“I just didn’t think as individuals, as players, that we all have each other’s back out there,” he said. “Offensively guys kind of exhaust their options and then when there’s nothing else for them they’re passing. When they have to.”
Damn, Joe Johnson erupts on Nets after practice. Calls team "selfish." Must be bad, mild mannered Johnson an unlikely candidate to blow up.

The Nets 20.2 assist a game ranks in the bottom half of the league. Johnson pointed to upcoming games against the Warriors, Blazers and Suns and tough test that they’ll have to be prepared for.
“There’s no way you can play like we’ve played,” he said. “You can’t go out on the road like that…Those will be double-digit losses.”
Johnson is averaging 19.8 points, 5.8 rebounds and 3.8 assists this season.
