Ty Lue repeatedly talking about pace not being good enough… really, nothing being good enough right now.
Says he’s not sure why PG has started slow, but not concerned about him turning it around.
Adds that he has to be better. But also says team has to play harder. – 5:37 PM

Ty Lue on the 2-4 Clippers: “We’re not a very good basketball team right now.” – 5:34 PM
Andrew Greif @AndrewGreif
Ty Lue’s takeaway from today’s offense, or lack of it: Not enough pace, guys moving slow and making it harder to score.
His recipe for a turnaround:
“Make some shots, that’s one way, two play with more pace and physicality, and three, player harder.” – 5:33 PM

With back-to-back tomorrow night at home, Ty Lue pulls the starters with more than 4 minutes left. Pels going to get a quality road win. – 5:04 PM

Ty Lue calls a timeout only 49 seconds into the fourth quarter, down 14. – 4:43 PM
Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Zubac in for Jackson, but not after a possession that ended in a bad missed 3 from Jackson. Lue was not pleased with that at all – 4:37 PM
Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Pelicans are on 10-0 run, lead 62-54, and it’s an early Tyronn Lue timeout.
The start of this game was a long time ago. Clippers back to playing like soulless strangers and it’s going to be another uphill battle from here.
Expect to see some better efforts to drive/touch paint – 4:21 PM
Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Clippers took a 36-25 lead after Powell went off. But then Pelicans scored on 4 of 6 possessions. Tyronn Lue was already waiting to get George and Morris back in the game, so their minutes are going to look a little low by halftime.
LA up 41-35, 4:56 left in 1st half. – 3:50 PM

Clippers coach Ty Lue on the state of the team:”Getting healthy is going to take some time, a couple of months to get up to speed offensively and with what we want to do with minutes restrictions and being in and out of games.” – 2:12 PM

Ty Lue says Kawhi Leonard is feeling “better” but is out both Sunday (Pelicans) and Monday (Rockets). Says it will be day-to-day with him going forward. – 1:43 PM
Andrew Greif @AndrewGreif
Ty Lue says Kawhi’s status will be likely a game to game determination, and adds Leonard won’t play tomorrow on the second day of a back to back. – 1:35 PM

Ty Lue said Kawhi Leonard is out tomorrow and that he continues to rehab to get the stiffness out of his knee but that he’s feeling better which is a “great sign.” He called Leonard’s status a day to day thing. – 1:33 PM
Mark Medina @MarkG_Medina
Kawhi Leonard also will be out today vs the Pelicans. Clippers coach Ty Lue said last season’s issues with injuries were different because they knew Kawhi and Paul George would be out for significant chunks of time. This season has been more day-to-day. – 1:32 PM

Ty Lue says “no” when asked whether Kawhi Leonard took part in practice yesterday. – 1:29 PM

More on this storyline

 

Lue joined former Sixers guard JJ Redick on his “Old Man and the Three” podcast as he recalled the play: It’s crazy because I’ll say, first of all, just growing up, and he’s only like two years older than me, but I still idolized him. Just coming into league, he was already in the league two or three years before me. It was Jordan then it was AI. That’s who I looked up to. 6-foot, braids, fast, so I don’t think I’ve ever said that, but I looked up to him. So having an opportunity, a chance to play against him in the finals, and he made the move and step over, but it wasn’t really a big deal. Like, people go crazy. He crossed me over, I fell down, then he shot, and he stepped. I mean, he snatched it back, I contested it, I fell and he stepped over me. I fell when I contested it. I fell into his foot, like, I rolled my ankle a little bit, fell down, he made a shot, and stepped over me like ‘Oh! That’s a step over!’ I’m like, ‘Okay, well, I mean, it’s AI’. That’s my guy, but like it’s not—he crossed me over, I fell, rolled over, he shot it, stepped over me. I mean, but no, it is what it is, but I think Doug Collins put a lot on it too though. Like ‘Oh! He stepped over him!’ and that add an extra to it and it became more and more but you know, it is what it is. You play hard, you’re gonna get dunked on, you’re gonna get crossed over, you’re gonna get a lot of things. And then guess what? I’ll always be in NBA history. They’re gonna show it all the time. So I’m always gonna be relevant no matter what happens! -via Sixers Wire / October 30, 2022
