Amar’e Stoudemire didn’t hold back on Tuesday night after the Dallas Mavericks lost by 33 points to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Amar’e had some very serious criticisms of the Mavs, including the team’s focus and the way that they conducted themselves during practices and games. It was some pretty heavy stuff, especially coming from a guy who has been in Dallas for all of a minute.
“I came here to win, and we’re (4 ½) games out of being out of the playoffs, which is unacceptable. This is something we can’t accept. We’ve got to find a way to refocus. We’ve got to key into the details of the game of basketball.
“We can’t cheat the game. We can’t screw around in games and practices and joke around all the time and figure we’re going to win games. This is the pros. It’s the highest level of basketball. We’ve got to act that way.”
It’s just unfortunate that what Amar’e had to say will most likely be overshadowed by his attire because Amar’e looked like he was late to his audition to play an extra in The Nutcracker.

If Amar’e wants the Mavs to start taking things more seriously, his choice of outfits aren’t really helping his cause.
