Is Cliff starting to loose the locker room?

1) For anyone thinking the players have "checked out" or quit on Clifford, I'd like to hear specifically which players you believe have quit on him. Lets hear some names.

2) The Pacers loss looked to me like a team that really missed Batum on offense and a team that also realizes their home losses over to the Pelicans and Bulls probably killed their remaining hopes of making the playoffs. There is a difference between a vet group of players lacking energy and determination because they realize their season is over and a team quitting on a coach.

I voted No. I think "not even close" is a year or more of job security, almost regardless of performance, and at this point I don't think Cliff has that anymore.

There's no mutiny, everyone really wants to buy in, and they're gonna try their best to fix it next year, which is great to see as a fan. But if we don't turn it around next season he's toast, and the locker room would let it happen.

IMO the last two games prove that "not even close" was the correct answer.

Yep, I have never doubted that the team still likes Cliff and wants to win games. They just weren't very good without Zeller. Unfortunately, I think they would be better off losing games right now but I don't see that happening much. They really are one of the better teams when healthy and just need to get a good combo G (aka a Lin type) to be top 4 East team.
