Golden State Warriors big man Marreese Speights is nothing if not willing to speak his mind, and he had plenty to say about the Washington Wizards' makeup after the Warriors cruised to a blowout home victory over John Wall and company.

According to Golden State reserve center center Marreese Speights, the Warriors believed strong defense would actually fracture the Wizards.
“We just turned up a little,” Speights said of Golden State’s defense to reporters following the win. “We knew if we hit them, if we got a couple stops they would start arguing with each other and quit. We went out there with a good mindset in the second half and we did it.” …
“It’s a troubling trend that we’ve had for the last 20, 25 games,” Wizards coach Randy Wittman said. “We play one good half and just the exact opposite, awful, one half to the other."
The Wizards have been extremely inconsistent since the All-Star Break, and although they're virtual locks to make the postseason, Washington's still trending in the wrong direction following a thrashing at the hands of the Dubs.
