That's the biggest difference. He's holding these guys accountable and they've been responding. It's going to take time still but you can tell a difference.

lol they cut that quote out of the video on the magic site and the video tweeted out by fox sports magic.

But absolutely, that's how the team should view it. Fans on the other hand can be a little less intense as they don't actually control what happens out there... a fan pointing out a moral victory on a message board isn't going to alter how the players play next game.

Then he needs to be sitting out. No need to be in there playing hurt and not well.

I have definitely noticed that we rarely have back to back **** games. Guys still come out flat more often than I would like but when that happens we tend to fire back the following game.

I credit Cliff tearing into them for that.

Hopefully with time we won’t need a coach holding players accountable and they will do that for themselves ...

Part of me is happy that somebody actually seems to be holding players accountable.

Another part of me is sad wondering what could've been if somebody had done it earlier. I remember Oladipo saying everybody here was playing for themselves, good coaching might've changed everything.

Korkmaz would be great or even...

MARIO HEZONJA

What's mario going to do? or was that joke?

He's a better ball handler and passer than Grant or Isaac. His shot comes and goes but I'd basically take anyone over Jerian Grant right now

naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

I swear i say.... "Isn't _____ like 6'__"...Isaac is like much taller than him" at least one time at some point in every game. lol

Who cares?
His size bothered Lebron more than Durant. Durant just went at him at will.

I don't get fascination with size of players in league where half of recorded weight and size is fake.

Strange post. I was just pointing out how tall Isaac looks and used Durant as a comparison. I never said anything about him defending Lebron or Durant so I don't even know what you are on about.

So AG probably on the bench against POR? Good news is, only Zach is a certified *big* magic killer, bad news is, they have 2 all star guards while we have.... *gulp* DJ , Grant and Evan to slow them down

He is. Watching the Knicks vs Detroit right now. Hezonja isn’t the problem, his teammates are. He is the only guy going out of his way to get the other guys shots. Problem is they can’t make them. Interesting factoid is that the Knicks are last in the league in assists.

Yeah, we’re not winning that game. They have 2 Allstar PG’s directing things who we can’t touch.

Listened to a pod recently, and one of the assistant coaches said the difference lst yr and this yr is that our guys are were bought in to what clifford is preaching.
