Udrih said his troubles began with the unconventional jerseys that the league gave its teams for the five Christmas Day games. Udrih, who tried to roll the sleeves up, said the uniform did not fit him right.

“I’ve never actually worked out with those tight jerseys,” he said. “It bothered me on the shot. When I was going to the shot, it would kind of stop me to get my shoulder and elbow up.”

Udrih began the third quarter by making a layup, but it was his lone basket in six tries, and he essentially deferred on offense to J. R. Smith and Tim Hardaway Jr.

Udrih struggled just as much on defense. Westbrook, who finished with 14 points and 10 assists, and Westbrook’s backup, Reggie Jackson, who had 18 points, tormented Udrih with their speed.

Woodson is selectively tough with his players, at least MDA had the spine and integrity to insist on a system (agree iwth it or not), and, call out bad behavior.

Everytime Woodson quoted in press about 'being tough", "accountability', etc, he sounds foolish given the limitless patience he shows towards Smith.
