Hornets vs Cavaliers: Coach Clifford Postgame Media Availability | 3/25/2024
Yeah I I I you know to me like I thought poku played really well um and uh you know we’re only playing eight really so it’s not like it’s the guys coming off the bench it’s just you know it’s just a different combinations you know that we’ve had good success and bad
Success with so um yeah I mean we struggled offensively in the second quarter we were much better in the second half but in the SEC you know you got to be able to control Cutters in control the ball that’s how you keep the ball out of the paint and
In the second half you know we you know they did all of it you know we gave a lot of baskets up that you can’t just give up heading back home to play the same team on Wednesday what can you do differently to play a more complete Game
Well watch a film and you know and you know it’ll be the same thing they have other things that they didn’t use tonight that they’ll use Wednesday and we’ll do the same after a few quieter games from Brandon what did you see from him to be able to get it going against a
Really yeah and he get off to a good start um they were aggressive with him too but he had a good stretch in the beginning of the third quarter you know which got us going a little bit so he’s just getting so much attention you know
That uh he doesn’t get a lot of easy baskets anymore good you mentioned penetrating the paint was one of the keys in the just your thoughts on how they were able to kind of work through that I think the third quarter were five 10 after a five or 14 the
P yeah I mean well they got got a lot of cutting baskets in the second half you know on stuff that we’re actually normally pretty good at and those are mistakes I mean the uh the back cuts um you know again I think when you’re right and you’re fresh and you’re
Energetic you don’t give that stuff up but they’re they have different uh which is what you have to again for a playoff series you got to have different ways you can play offense and they have that you know they have a they have a pick and roll game uh they have cutting
Options and uh which they run all you know in this league they run a lot more than most teams do they do a lot of dribble handoffs which come off the cuts uh and then and then you know obviously when they have their whole team they
Have two guards who can ISO so you know that’s what you need you got to have different ways that you can play and just the three-point shooting how it seemed to flip the game there I think Nang had three threes in the second quarter and really got them on a run
Yeah Coral hit two in the second quarter too yeah no for for sure you know um so again we’ll watch it and uh you know try to correct things for Wednesday

Poor coach cliff it's not like he's the one putting up all the bricks you can only do so much with sloppy clay if I was him I'd be like what is really going on with lamelo and Mark they show up to every game so they can't be that injured melo practices before each game then just sits with all his bling on the bench enough is enough remember the old days where a guy would be out for 6 weeks at most melo been out 10 years it seems
