And while Devin Harris may not have broken anything or singled out a teammate at halftime of Wednesday night's game against the Celtics, it could be a good sign that the Nets' de facto captain finally ripped into the team during one of its most dreadful performances yet.
Maybe the Nets needed to hear it from their usually understated leader during an embarrassing 111-87 loss to the shorthanded Celtics. Maybe his message will finally wake the Nets up from a season-long slumber that has resulted in a 3-35 record.
It seemed to work a bit in the second half, as the Nets managed to outscore Boston by 12 in the final two periods after going into the break trailing by 36.
Such an inept performance - the Nets trailed by 16 after the opening quarter and were outscored by 20 in the second - prompted Harris to throw a fit in the locker room - a rare occurrence, according to teammate Chris Douglas-Roberts, who suggested that such outbursts may be exactly what the Nets need.
Yea i'm glad he threw a fit to but he better have looked in the mirror at him self to.That first half he was 0 for 5 shooting and he played no defense on Rondo.Hey i like Devin Harris but he's been part of the problem to.
