It’s crazy, right? At this point I’m just accepting that he’s a good coach that occasionally cosplays as a bad one. There’s a method to his madness that I do not understand at all, but things seem to happen with him as coach.

Ty Lue is what people (see: owners) think Doc Rivers is.

I’ve thought he was a fraud like 4 times now, and then suddenly he does shit like this

Yeah I think you can pretty easily qualify him as a solid coach / floor raiser.

Same here

He managed to strike exact balance of hands off, hands on, and LeBron mgmt when he had the cavs in ‘16 - ‘18. It was quite something to see because Mike Brown was too hands off and David Blatt was too hands on. JJ has found the same thing right now as well.

Kawhi did that not him

Why did you think Ty Lue was a fraud?

Ty Lue has outperformed for years. People have generally had him in or close to top 5 coaches in the league.

Hes the anti- Doc Rivers

i used to visit clippers sub during that time and was surprised by the doom. seemed like a rondo on mavs situation to me with mismatch of coaching staff. glad they recovered

It’s crazy CP3 was actually the problem lol

He made the All Star game amazing this year.

probably a goat level player assuming no injuries

I just learned that the stat that Tobias Harris has scored more career points than him no longer applies.

I feel like him and Bill Walton are the only two who can really say that.

Like what if he and the Clippers were held accountable “after all star break” for dodging the salary cap?

Addition by subtraction

I know this is funny but it has more to do with healthy Kawhi than anything

Remember how this sub shit on the Clippers after that

not surprising, he’s always been an overrated bum

I mean, they kept losing even after losing cp3. It wasn’t until later that they started winning.

Watch the games please

Same. In the end, all I care about is watching world class NBA players playing basketball. I don’t give af about all the fucking drama that Redditors want to lose sleep over.

He’s easily a top 5 player to watch imo but I absolutely care that he’s getting paid under the table and hope he faces repercussions.

Some people are still saying it

MITTyLue

For real the duo of Lue and JVG is legendary Im not sure who we could replace them with

The vibes were off + Kahwi health was questionsble regardless of Chris Paul’s presence.

I also genuinely believe the organization and players performed better after they were called out.

same, i expected them to be a mid tier playoff team going into the season just based on their roster. they looked like they might struggle in certain matchups against fast young teams, but they also had a ton of experience on the roster and looked pretty well balanced positionally. i was so shocked they were that bad to star the season. i’m almost less shocked by this turnaround, even though it’s obviously still surprising and impressive. this recent stretch is closer to the team i expected to see coming into the season than whatever the fuck they were doing for those first 27 games

Tell their team to try this thing called winning?

for real. fish face ass coach should have just started the season 35-17. would have been a lot smarter imo.

They were 6-21. Ty Lue said he wanted to go 35-20 or better to finish the season. After he said that they went 35-17.

I don’t know why the title is phrased like this lol

This is one of the most poorly phrased posts I’ve ever seen on this sub lol.

Both. First one, then the other.

“went” and “were” are the key words

Redditors do seem to like CP….

Still am.

A thread went up a couple of days after he said it - https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/1q22l8c/ty_lue_12_days_ago_our_main_goal_is_to_go_3520/

google is your friend, but 20-13

The banana boat was Chris Paul’s idea

Lakers do have salary cap space this summer…

Actually they’ve struggled against tanking teams. Pacers, Mavs, Bulls, Grizzlies. A lot of the wins were near-chokes or went to overtime. And they just lost to the Pels twice.

Nah, they just lost 3 games in the past 2 weeks to bad teams. 1 against the Kings and 2 times to the Pelicans.

This is partly true. This season has been insane with how many bad teams there were out there.

BUT, from december 10th to the end of February, maybe beginning of March these Clippers were legit a good team. Definitely worthy of Top6 in the West. Kawhi just started taking over, Harden played second fiddle perfectly, Kobe Sanders, Jordan Miller suddenly became useful, Mathurin was legit looking like an all-star, John Collins started hitting 45% on his threes etc..

basically this. given that 10 teams are tanking, the league is really 20 competitive teams. clippers are 19th based on their record. meaning, of the teams actually trying, they are pretty much the worst.

Something certainly changed after he was sent home.

Cope, boy.
