Tyronn Lue crap from the ‘same s**t over and over again after the loss to the Heat
Los Angeles Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue he didn’t mince words after his team’s 120-119 home loss to the Miami Heat on Monday night, citing carelessness on the part of his ball handlers.
“Sixteen turnovers in the second half. Same s**s over and over again, man,” Lue said after the game, clearly frustrated by yet another self-inflicted setback dropped the Clippers to 3-3 on the season.
The loss is over Kawhi Leonard11-year winning streak against the Heat and spoiled another effective one the offensive performance of the Clippers. James Harden he scored 29 points with eight assists, and Leonard added 27 points, four rebounds and four assists. Despite this, Los Angeles gave the ball away 21 times, which the Heat turned into 37 points.
Miami, missing injured guard Tyler Hero, played at a fast pace and shot 54.2 percent from the field. Bam Adebayo led with 25 points and 10 rebounds, while the former Clipper Norman Powell scored 21 points in the return to Southern California.
Turnovers have plagued the Clippers all season
Harden’s late turnovers proved costly. With less than a minute left, he lost the ball twice, leading to four points by Adebayo that put the Heat in control. Harden responded with a 3-pointer to cut the deficit to one, but Leonard’s potential game-winner at the buzzer missed.
Lue said his team’s inability to adjust defensively and value possessions continues to undermine his potential.
“We have to take care of the basketball. When we don’t get shots on goal, it’s going to be a tough night for us,” he said.
The Clippers face the undefeated Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday night in the second half of a back-to-back. Lue warned that another sloppy attempt could lead to disaster. “If we turn the ball over like we did tonight, it’s not going to be close. They thrive on turning teams over and getting out in transition,” he said.
As the Clippers prepare for their toughest test yet, the message from their coach is unmistakable. Clean up the bugs or expect the same frustrating results.
