Fight or fold. That’s the choice Jacque Vaughn has put in front of his Nets.
The humiliating loss Friday in Chicago was the worst beating the Nets have taken in almost two decades. And they get less“How are we going to react after this? Are we going to fold? Or are we going to get ready for the next one and be better?” Mikal Bridges said of Vaughn’s message. “I think everyone in that locker room is not going to fold, and we’re all going to be better.
“And it’s got to be unconditional, too. It’s not, ‘If I play this amount of minutes, if I get this amount of shots.’ You have to be an unconditional teammate at this time of year, because teams are playing for position, teams are playing to get into the playoffs. So you cannot have nights like [Friday] where we play this bad.”
“It’s going to be a true test. And not only the basketball piece, but the character piece of helping your teammate out and leaning into being a great teammate,” Vaughn said. “So that challenge of pulling for the guy that’s next to you — you might not be getting minutes, and he might be getting minutes more than you — that’s where we’re at as a group.
“Yeah, the effort has to be there,” Nic Claxton said. “We know we have to play extremely hard. We’re not going to be the most talented team on the court every night, so we have to surpass the other team’s effort. And we didn’t do that. All around it was just a terrible game.”
