Disappointed Ty Lue Reacts To The Clippers 129-107 Loss To The Thunder. HoopJab NBA

See like uh first quarter you did a great job getting the ball in the paint and and scoring effectively the rest of the game it just felt like uh the paint closed off the third quarter they got tons of blocks tons of steals and kind of ran away with the game what worked

Early and and why was the team able to build off with that success yeah I think you know starting the game like you said we had some early success attack in the paint um making the right play and then the second half of that first quarter we

Turned the ball over you know which allowed him to get out in transition and get some easy baskets um we know coming into the game they give up the 29th most threes because they’re going to pack the paint they’re going to defend the paint first and they 30th and give it up

Corner threes and so um we had a lot of possessions and plays where we got in there we didn’t make the right play um so they was able to get Block shots and turnovers for the most part I thought we did a good job you know I thought we you

Know executed the game plan offensively defensively we could have been a lot better but offensively like you know we got some shots at The Rim I think we was eight for 24 at the end of the third quarter at The Rim you know just not

Finishing in the paint um zo had a few you know dunks at The Rim Russ had a few layups and just getting there and attacking and we weren able to finish and so um they played good tonight and uh we didn’t play our best game they

Shot took I think 71% from the field in the third 7 something from three was that them making shots or that just your defense not being what it needed to be a combination of both and so what needs to be done now going forward to I guess try

To get your defense back again maybe not play OKC again how about that but you don’t do you no and they had the two one tiebreaker that’s all right that’s okay yeah doesn’t mean a whole lot at this stage of things no what can what can the team uh do I

Mean saw like they were able to get those run outs and everything like what can what can the team do it’s just a matter of execution or or I mean you sound say shots that you got yeah the Run outs like you said turn the basketball over so when you turn the

Ball over it’s like a pick six you I mean you just not you’re not be going to be able to get back and challenge those and so um you know when you turn the ball over against his team they thrive in transition and when you turn the ball

Over um like I said they put you on your heels they score at a high clip so just taking care of the basketball I don’t think they got a lot of run outs just in our half court offense when we took care of the basketball and you know got the

Right shots it just more so in the turnovers when you took your starters out four them least was that conscious of you have a game tomorrow night probably not going to make this up just wasted minutes is that an easy decision for you to make it is for me I don’t

Care about them but it’s easy for me I mean you you can cut it to four or six and still lose the game and it’s wasted minutes to me so um once they scored and went up 16 you know with four and a half it was just like it’s over you know so

Get ready ready for tomorrow um we come out of the game you know healthy and get ready you know for Memphis tomorrow I think they were saying that this is at least dagos this kind of a barometer game for them did you view it the same

Way or no no I mean I thought it was a big game for our as just the tiebreaker situation but um you know like said they’ve been playing great all year you know I think you know it’s it’s been times we play you know really well it’s

Been times we won games because we you know won with Talent you know and so um like I said I don’t think it’s a barometer game I think the barometer game is when we get to the playoffs and see what happens then you know and so

You know for us we know we have to get a lot better you know especially you know clean up stuff at the defensive end you know being better with that understanding the coverages um and you know being better with our you know with our schemes at times and so um we got to

Do a better job with that let’s get ready for hoop Jab
