I expect Woody is the kind of coach who does it all behind closed doors, as it should be done especially with the NY media. Much prefer that way than the D'Antoni way which seemed to be all about insulting and alienating players via a quip to the media. See the Laker thread to see D'Antoni is already doing it to Gasol.
He don't throw them under the bus, but he sure has no issue to put the onus on the player...publicly.
We know who's been practicing and who hasn't because of Woodson.
JR Smith may have bricked out the joint from the field on offense, but his defensive effort was impeccable.
His plays within the last two minutes, during those critical moments when the Celtics ALWAYS make the winning plays, were critical.
Thank you for the accountability Mike Woodson.
