‘We Have To Be Better!’ Tyronn Lue Pissed After Clippers Escape With Win Against Grizzlies

Ty before the game you talked about turnovers yet You’ still had 21 of them anything in particular seem to cause that um I thought their physicality um the way they press Us and got into us um really took us out of what we wanted to

Do offensively and um we got to be able to handle that pressure and also just double teaming you know things we go over every single day that we didn’t um do a good job of executing you know and so we got to be better with that as well

But to have you know more turnovers than you have assists you know it’s hard to win a game like that but I will give our guys credit I thought the second half we did a better job defensively of being more aggressive um um being more physical um like they did Us in the

First half so um that was good to see but just offensively just got really stagnant you know the pressure and their physicality took us out of what we wanted to do and we didn’t do a good job handling that what what did you say to them uh cuz you had a strong defensive

Finish there un like those last couple minutes hardened with the steel Kawai with the steel did you say anything to them that got them going there no just in the um in the Huddle last four or five minutes that we wanted to come in

Uh double team JJ to get the ball out of his hands um tried to save it for most of the game so they couldn’t prepare for it and I thought our guys did a good job you know just like you said executing that down the stretch um the one time

With the Luke and JJ pick and roll PG went for the steel made him pick it up early which they scored twice on early in the first half and then two double teams kawhai got a steal I think James got a steal um just executing the game playing down and stretch defensively was

It was really good and James didn’t make a shot like late in the game what did you see from James as far as his struggles and then the shot that they made yeah I thought they did a good job of just you know packing the paint he

Made the right pass every time you know we didn’t make the shot every time or sometimes we didn’t even take it but um he just did a good job just taking what the defense gave him and so um he couldn’t really get down here in the

Pick and roll they was having a man and a half and then also JJ in a deep drop so it’s hard to get to his spots but you know that’s what great players do you know um made a big three you know down the stretch which was huge for us and um

Kind of secured the win for us was terence’s big night also just kind of he took what what came his way yeah I mean they wouldn’t guarding him and T man’s a good shooter and so I he turned down a couple you know turned down one ear and

Then he turned down one late but you know he has to shoot those shots are they’re not going to guard him and he’s a good shooter um he has to take those shots and he did a good job of knocking him down tonight and making them pay uh

Do you think normal play on Sunday I’m not sure and PJ playing tonight for the first time since late November was that part of the because of Norm or did you want to see what he could do and I just want to see what he can do and we’ve

Been talking about it and then you know when Norm was out you know I was opportunity to give him a chance and I thought he did some good things defensively uh couple offensive rebounds crashed in the glass and um so just you know for a guy who hasn’t played in a

While to see him get on the floor and compete and we know he’s going to do that um you know he did a good job

  1. I'm glad you're finally getting it Ty… this was a BAD win…and you need to lay into your players, especially Paul George… And I don't want to hear about his stats tonight. HE IS NOT EFFICIENT. You cant be wanting a max extension playing bum ass ball like he playing. He can't be depended on. Neither can Westbrook..but Westbrook aint making 40-50 Million

  2. Please PJ can help this team out he can play defense and shot the 3 Coach should bench Mann yes he had a good game . One good game out of 55 games. Russ is a team killer 6-15 what are you going to do with him yes he play hard . Pull him quickly when he starts to go crazy out there I know 23 min is to long for Russ to fu the game up. PG something is wrong with him. Big Zub is playing bad all 3 of our bigs are to slow can't score at the basket, can't get rebounds just bad defense. Clippers can sign D Howard he would give us better scoring and defense right now . I'm afraid the Clippers going to get eliminated in the playoffs if they don't get it together. I blame it on coach.

  3. Execution , execution , execution is the 🗝️ key for the Clippers going forward in the remaining 27 games and Shall determine whether they win more than they'll lose , 21 Turnovers and only twenty assist , is terrible and also not going to get them where they wish to be , there's plenty room for Improvement and Time Shall Tell how much they want to be successful ! Great comeback Win good job getting rebounds tonight , T Mann stepped up big time without Norman Powell , Kawhi Leonard , solid as usual , Paul George and James Harden , need to check themselves ! Let's keep it going Clippers 💯🛐💚🔯💛☪️❤️🕉️💪💪💪💪💪🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

  4. If the clippers didn't win it all this season is because of Paul George, this guys is not effient at all the ratio of his short and not making them is much.

  5. Hope they didnt peak too early. Hope they regain that inner dog and stay locked in. Relying on talent wont get it against better teams

  6. Looking tired or old but some really dumb passes like the lobs at front of rim from half court and cross court passed

  7. Please stop playing plumlee. We were winning easy with theis even with his limitations. W theis you can explore pj minutes

  8. They been trash. Starting to think they just aren’t good enough to make it through the season. Definitely not good enough to make a deep playoff run. Too small and too old.

  9. paul george fucking sucks, not efficient at all and horrible shot selection, barely makes and defensive plays standing at 6’8.. we need to get rid of him and let him focus on his podcast. this team won’t be able to win with him and i’m a fan!
