I still want to see Luke be selfish and take some "bad" shots. He passes up good ones man, c'mon, you are one of the leagues elite snipers

Ace observation. But I just saw a stat that said only Miami and Portland play zone more than 8% of the time.

With practice time so limited, it's just not a priority.

But again, ace observation bro. :⁠-⁠)

Wall with the drive and kick hockey assist to Kennard, more of that please.

Just from a coaching perspective, every team I've taken part in coaching, when zone was being walked through, the flip side would work on learning the holes of zones.

Close game. Turnovers are part of the game but we need to minimize the silly turnovers particularly in the last 5 minutes. Turnovers like that bounce pass from PG to Powell will haunt us. Need some of that third quarter energy agajn.

Yeah here…

Wall looked so bad out there. Also, could see Luke’s frustration with him in a couple offensive sets. Luke was waving for Wall to rotate with the ball & he wouldn’t budge from the top. Ended up in a turnover.

Speaking of turnovers damn how bad can they get?? No improvement at all and that’s on the players

how do we not secure that rebound, man

at least he didn't dunk and get an and1 i guess

Dipo wasn't set....but man, lack of boxing out and turnovers

We could call random fans down from the stands every game and probably get better coaching than we're getting from Lue.

Another frustrating game. Sheesh.

When is the trade deadline again?

nickhx2 · Post #53 » by **nickhx2** » Tue Jan 3, 2023 5:53 am

you would think after a million, terrible, late game possessions where someone's forced to jack a shot because nobody's creating any space or trying to get free, that ty lue would think "hmmm! we should find a solution to this somehow and develop some plays!"

Lue needs to wait ten more games before he maybe considers experimenting with some basic plays. No promises, though. :roll:

Does the 10 game sample thing even work? Sounds like a lazy excuse.

It's worse than an excuse, it's a lie. We're about to be 40 games into the season and Lue has made zero changes. The real change that needs to be made is a coaching change.

Tough loss.

Please go away? Any dope off the street can say this when the Clippers get down by 20.

Now we're up by 2 after 3 quarters. Win or lose---Can we PLEASE enjoy our board and our team and our game threads???

Bro you are going after me because I speak the truth. Just because you have blinders on. Morris is a short armed bad rebounder and both are slow and fail to put real effort on defense.

Add in no movement on offense and over dribbling.

LamarWho · Post #59 » by **LamarWho** » Tue Jan 3, 2023 6:22 am

Seen this movie over and over again about this team. Playing one good quarter won't get you that W. I would love to ask Ty Lue what our goal is this year, just to make the playoff and call it a day?

Roscoe Sheed · Post #60 » by **Roscoe Sheed** » Tue Jan 3, 2023 6:24 am

part of their struggles are due to lack of continuity, but Lue does deserve some of the blame for not working on some of the glaring weaknesses of the team- turnovers, lack of ball movement, and poor defensive rotations.
