Hornets vs Kings: Coach Cliiford Postgame Media Availability | 1/10/2024

So let me just talk and then you guys if you have questions ask or you can so it takes a you know a good deal of intensity and concentration to play well in the NBA no matter how talented you are and there are they’re all super

Talented you know some of the great ones obviously have incredible Talent like a guy like Fox uh sabonis to a certain degree and then you have other guys but they’re all talented in their own way but nobody nobody that I’ve ever been around including whatever you guys know

The guys I’ve coached nobody can play good if you don’t have the right intensity and tonight you know we did not have that a couple guys did you know Terry was still good miles was pretty good um Brandon had stretches where he played better but uh for the most part

You know hopefully this is a lesson learned for our younger guys because almost to a man not close to what we were a week ago not close so you know their physical last week in Sacramento when we were on a backto back we took the game to them on the glass we

Rebounded well we were physical okay um they still got Second Chance points but not like tonight where tonight they were on a back to back and right from the get-go they had more energy than we did they had more juice than we did and you know it’s the biggest part of it outside

Obviously the number one reason you win in any team sport is talent and then the second is Readiness because without Readiness not only do you not execute or it’s not just defense and effort things you don’t shoot well in basketball to me like when you really ready and you’re

Purposeful and concentrated you shoot better than when you’re just out there having fun playing ball it’s just the way it is and so tonight for one of the first times it’s just what I told the guys we just didn’t put enough into the game and we don’t have that kind of

Roster um especially right now and we have to find a way to get back to the other night to be honest with you you watched the other night and as frustrating as it was because to me and I’m sure you guys were read this two-minute warning it was a foul at the

End of the game okay it was a foul to me okay and so we should have won that game uh but we deserve to win that game and tonight regardless of who the opponent was and they’re very good we weren’t going to win because we had the wrong intensity the right concent wrong

Concentration and there’s no way we’re winning like that is that good anybody got a question good all right thank you
