"Deron Williams was not happy after losing to the Celtics 105-86 Wednesday. After the game Williams had dinner with a few teammates and they discussed what was wrong with the team -- selfishness.
"A lot of it's a little bit of selfishness," Williams told the Deseret News. "When we build leads, we start looking for our own shot and worrying about scoring instead of getting stops. We went to dinner last night, and a couple of us were talking. We looked at Boston, and, you know, Paul Pierce has 10 points, Kevin Garnett has 10 points (actually 18), Ray Allen has 10 points (actually 15), Rajon Rondo has 14 points, somebody else has 12 points and they're on the bench happy ... They don't care who ... gets the glory. They just want to win. Until we figure that out, we're not gonna be a good team (ESPN)."
You know Deron Williams is very jealous on Rondo. Williams is a hell of a point guard, and I think he is making a solid point here. Look at the Celtics, it doesn't matter who scores, as long as someone does. A lot of teams could learn from this. Sure there will be nights when Pierce/Allen go off, but for the most part you are going to see all of them in double figures, while role players also play a major part. If you spread the scoring and play good defense you win...and that's all there is to it.
