Coach Steve Clifford has had a consistent drum beat to his calls for his team. He has consistently said for a team like his Orlando Magic team, they have to play a certain way. They have to do things the right way within the principles the team has.
That might be a veiled way of recognizing the reality the Magic have very little margin for error. They do not have the superstar player who can take over the game and carry the team on an off night — on either end. And they do not have the depth to rely heavily on their bench.
