Tyronn Lue Reacts After Clippers Lose Against Kings

Pop or just not doing the right things no we did the right things we did some good things you know outside of giving up you know 20 offensive rebounds um but you hold a high pried offense like this to before the fourth quarter before we got the subs in we play some good

Defense you know we didn’t get the rebounds like we wanted to you know had 16 turnovers what you can’t do but I thought the intent was right I thought we did some good things defensively and like I said we didn’t come up with the rebound all the time you know but I

Thought we did some good things and then we just didn’t make shots either like yeah couldn’t make any shots when we needed to sabonis obviously had the game that he did what problems did he give you guys uh specifically in the second half when he seemed to really get going in

The third um seven offensive rebounds you know put backs around the rim I thought Zoo did a good job you know the pick and roll you know when he gets that little short row to absorb the contact early and you know make him finish over

The top which he did a good job but I thought the offensive rebounds was Zoo went to help or Zoo went to go block a shot the crack backs wasn’t there you know all the time and he got some easy baskets around the rim I want to ask you about those

Offensive rebounds of course yes the mon did have seven what do you got to got to do you know try he done did this a couple times so what do you have to do no I think I think you know he’s a big body you know and so when zoo and DT

And those guys go to block shots we got to make sure our guards are physical with the crackback so Mak sure we meet them early try to hit them high to keep them off the glass and so if you look at it I think he got a lot of those when

You know our bigs were going to block shots and then you know we weren big enough to to keep them off the glass and so our backside defense wasn’t really really good you know so he took advantage of that see I think James made only one shot tonight only took three

Shots in Charlotte U are you satisfied with that level of um volume from him as a scorer or are you going to have to have a conversation about him needing to well no I mean it’s the way they played him I mean they blissed him all night

You know so in the pick and roll he couldn’t really get it you know get his shots off and um maybe I could have did a little bit more ISO for him to try to loosen him up but they just you know they show they were going to let him

Play and so in the pick and roles when they Blitz we know they going to Blitz PG you know Kawai James and so we work on it every single day so just executing the blitz you know coverages offensively um we we need to do do a better job but

I thought PG did a good job of getting off of it getting to the short row and making the play out of it but we just um with James they just said they let him play so what what needs to happen when it’s a blitz or if you can’t ISO like what

Needs to happen for the offense to execute that is it more about Blitz Blitz throw the ball to the short row is four on three on the backside I mean everybody does it everybody I mean it’s the same thing T how do how do you not let a

Night like tonight dampen uh the mood after the trip that you guys had I I mean great trip you know three and one you know coming out you know on this trip you know to go three and one I thought it was you know was a really

Good trip you know for us and like I said um we didn’t make shots you know we didn’t score the basketball at a high clip but I did like some of the things we did defensively and so just competing on that end of the floor which you know

Was really good for us and we just couldn’t make shots you guys have seven games that season what do you want to see before you guys go into the playoffs I wants to play like we have the last four games just continue to build defensively um have continue to have

That defensive mindset you know getting stops but we got to rebound the basketball better you know it’s been one of our killes Hills of taking care of the basketball and rebounding so we got to do a good job a better job with that but I like you know our intent I like um

Our competitive nature as far as Garden these last four games and um how we approach the game so just continue to keep building off that just take what the defense gives you you know but if we’re not attacking the paint getting into the paint you’re not going to get the open threes that

You can usually generate by attacking the paint so um you know without the double teams with Kawai without you know all those different things you know um we W going to be able to get a lot of Threes up but we should be able to take advantage of it more vers their Blitz

And we just didn’t um execute it you know as good as we needed to you know I think but we can’t get more threes up yeah for sure
