The Cleibers coach, Tirion Louis, torn off his team after losing to Lakers
Tyronn Lue He sat with his arms, crossed his voice, and his message is clear about his dissatisfaction with how Cleibers It raised it with their last performance and how they all have to look at the mirror to fix their problems.
It was more than just 122-97 Beatdown by Lakers Tuesday night in the Intuit Dome that bothered. This was the way his group played in the last three matches that Cleibers coach was in a rare moment of his players.
“We were good, so I can’t be, as you know, along the way,” Louis said. “But the last three matches have really angered me.”
Clippers fell 31 points to Lakers at one point, just the latest performance of a problem.

He also pointed to Cleibers’s victory over Charlotte and his loss in Toronto.
“We do not go to a good start,” Louis said. “Therefore, we are not holding defensively. Like 45 points in the first quarter [for the Lakers]Like this just a lot. Thus we got pride in guarding.
“This is what we were throughout the season, and now the last three games, we have left our guards and this is what is happening. Therefore, we must be better. We have to look at ourselves in the mirror and think about whether we want to win or not. Our mentality must be. Thus, three consecutive games We did not come out with a great defensive performance, and it is not put in the game.
Lakers launched 54.9 % of the field and 48.6 % of the three -point range. This was against the Cleibers Star Defense, which ranked third in the American Professional League in points that were abandoned (107.2) and the second in defensive efficiency (106.2) that enter the game.
“Focus, mother, distress, effort. All you want to call.” “We do not bring it. Therefore, we have to fix it.”
Kawahi Leonard was only 11 points in the fourth quarter against 11.
He was asked why the voltage was a problem for Cleibers in the last games.
“I don’t know,” Leonard said. “It is difficult to say. We all get to play this game and leave everything on the ground. So, I’m not sure.”
Leonard is still limited in its minutes. Play only 22:26. But at least he spoke to the media after the match.
James Harden left without speaking to the media. He had only seven points, missed 10 out of 12 rounds and was minus 16 in about 30 minutes.
Clippers was starting from a four -day trip for a journey over eight days, but they refused to use this as an excuse.
“We must look at ourselves in the mirror first and be able to go out here and do our work,” Leonard said. “This is where it begins. We cannot look at the shoulder for help in those things from serious play.”
With his team below 25 with 6:58 left, Loui saw enough. Beginning of his beginners. Two of the players who entered Patty Mills and Dero Iyoubanks, on Saturday from Utah Jazz in favor of MOBA, PJ Tucker, draft the second round of the second round and cash considerations.
LUE talked very about the mills and EUBANKS.
“Two of the hard players you love in your team,” Louis said. “He plays the right path. He plays hard, competes.”
The deadline for trade in the American Professional League is Thursday, more than enough time for Klibers to take another step. Time in mind, LUE was asked whether the Clippers have enough to make a deep race.
“Yes, I feel this way,” Louis said. “Once we can get Kawhi minutes to where we need to get it, which is 100 %, this means timing, and this means just a case, we can run. We can overcome anyone, at any time. We also, if we do not play the way Correct, we may lose any team. So we have enough in the cabinet room to win the matches and the liquidation in the qualifiers.
