Blatche basically told people to get over it

The Wizards blew a 21-point lead and lost 90-84 at home vs. the Nets, then got a rant from team captain Andray Blatche that moncler jackets he was displeased with the play-calling and he should be getting the ball down low more than out on the wings. He repeated the complain on Twitter.

Tuesday on Twitter, Blatche basically told people to get over it and and he wasn't calling out coach Flip Saunders.

"Every body need to shut up I didn't call out my coach or team mates I said I had a bad game need it n the post instead of jump shots," Blatche tweeted.

Perhaps Saunders didn't get that message. Tuesday, he said Blatche isn't a captain for the season, that he plans to rotate captains for the time being. Saunders also said he was disappointed in Blatche's comments and met with the 25-year-old.

"We talked about what he said about as far as wanting to be in the post," Saunders said. "And I told him, that's something to my ears. I love hearing that. … But then he also has to understand that just because you get it at 17 feet, you don't have to shoot it, either. I'm not twisting his arm to do that."

On the other side of the court Monday, Nets forward Kris Humphries was jeered when introduced and every time he touched the ball. The Nets open at home later Tuesday against the Atlanta Hawks.

Humphries, coming off his best season as a pro with averages of 10.0 points and 10.4 rebounds, is going through a divorce from Kim Kardashian after a short-lived relationship and wedding that was chronicled on the Kardashian family's weekly reality show.

Humphries laughed off the jeers during the game and finished with 21 points and 16 rebounds to help the Nets erase a 21-point deficit.

"To me, it's motivation. People are yelling at you — you've got to perform, you've got to play hard. They might want to have a reason to say something. You want to try and give them that reason," Humphries said. "For me, it just makes it a little hostile environment — and it's kind of fun to play in that environment."

Nets coach Avery Johnson was puzzled.

"I'm trying to figure out: What did he do? I'm serious. It may be because I don't follow reality TV — I don't know all www.monclerjackets2011outlet.com the ins and outs of it. It's pretty hilarious to me," Johnson said. "I don't even know if THEY know why they're booing."
