Eh, I’ve been extremely pissed with Ty lately but I don’t think this was the game to be mad at him.
What I am curious about though is what the hell the team is doing during practice. Everyone knows what the issues are and they’re still there.
we didn’t have Zu on the bigs directly he was helping off of a guard for the bigs
Lebron game, Doc game. Shoulda won both of those and my tin foil Hat’s on. I would think homecourt in the second/third round is more important to us?
Tell him toughen up.
Is what he’s saying not true though? Zu literally had to be benched in the playoffs twice against the mavs cause luka kept cooking him on the switch
May sound like a funny take but this is exactly the type of game you could’ve used PJ Tucker honestly. Bobby Portis was cooking and bullying us all game. I thought our guys were just going through the motions trying to cruise to a victory but it bit em in the ass again like that Lakers game. At least when PJ is out there on the floor u know he’s gonna compete hard at all times and isn’t going to be a pushover on defense. When we play lackadaisical like that Ty Lue should try something different and see if PJ can help set a different tone at times especially if we’re gonna play small ball.
So what was his excuse for keeping coffey in over mann?
Just watching an exhausted Coffey trying to make rotations with an ample if not better replacement sitting on the bench was suspect enough. Then blaming Zu, complete BS if he wants to gift his buddy a game so be it but this is a lame excuse.
