The tape never lies. No matter who is playing and no matter what the Orlando Magic, do they will always reveal themselves to their coach and to the world on the tape.
Even coach Steve Clifford knows this. He relies on it.
He may have an initial gut reaction to a game. And sometimes that gut reaction will lead to an impassioned plea to the media or a scathing rebuke. But the real answers lie in the tape.
Clifford said after each game he will jot down a few reactions and notes on an index card, noting things he wants to watch closer on tape.
