The drama surrounding the Philadelphia 76ers and the Los Angeles Clippers took another turn on Monday when Clippers coach Ty Lue took exception to Philadelphia president Daryl Morey’s comments in response to Lue.
This all started when Lue seemed to take a shot at Sixers stars Joel Embiid and James Harden for taking too many free throws which caused some issues for the Sixers. Morey then took to Twitter and responded to Lue by calling out the Clippers’ offense if it wasn’t for free throws.
On Monday, Lue explained his comments while also responding to Morey:
They took out of context. It was said like if we continue to foul those guys, they can score 50. We want him making field goals and not free throws because they’re crafty getting to the line, but in response to Daryl Morey, should he really be tweeting anything right now? The last time he tweeted he cost the NBA a billion dollars so I don’t think he should be doing too much tweeting. Just worry about his own team.
“They took it out of context…. It don’t bug me. In response to Daryl Morey, should he really be tweeting anything? Last time he tweeted, he cost the NBA a billion dollars so I don’t think he should be doing too much tweeting. Worry about his own team.”

Lue, of course, was referring to Morey’s tweets about China while he was with the Houston Rockets. The saga between these teams seems to have reached its peak as they both look to move on.
