"Tell them … tell the team to bear down"

The Wizards are currently 3-9 after getting destroyed by the San Antonio Spurs Saturday night 106-84. After the game, Gilbert Arenas sounded off on his teammates saying they had “hidden agendas,” noting that eight players on the team are free agents following the season.

“I guess when you start losing everyone wants to start pointing fingers everywhere else,” Arenas said. “I converted my game to try to get people involved, but at the end of the day, to be honest, this is the same team since three years ago. We added a couple of pieces, but everybody else is basically the same player.

“I’m sitting here thinking ‘Do I have to go in attack mode like I was two years ago to get us over this hump?’ I hope not. I hope we’re strong enough mentally that we can get over this.”
