My biggest issue with him is off-ball movement and play calling

He was a great coach with Cleveland because LeBron’s gravity suited his coaching style perfectly. Not saying he won there only because of LeBron but if you have a guy like him on your team you don’t really need that much off-ball movement. You just need players to perform well at spots they were assigned because sooner or later opps are going to double/tripple LeBron and you just need him to make a smart pass.

Same happened here in our best season - the season we went to WCF PG was on another level and there wasn’t much coaching there after all. PG was doing all the work trying to get doubled and kick the ball to an open teammate.

But suddenly we have 4 guys who need the ball in their hand, non of which is in their prime so no one has the right to say “Ball is mine” every play, and look at this team… just staying in their spots waiting to see what the one with the ball does. The only guys on our team who actually move without the ball are younger guys who never had the pleasure of being a #1 option. That one Norman Powell play today where he went from bottom left corner to right elbow for an open splash three just by making one smart pass and running?? - whoof! But after the trade there’s only two of them playing now haha… It’s just TMann and Norm - rest is so old that even if they wanted to move they can’t no more - looking at you PJ…

I believe this is as much on Ty Lue as on the stars, they are not filling their roles. But it’s coaches job to create clear game plan where everyone knows their movements and places on the floor.

I’m so tired of this ISO ball. I’m tired of crunch time plays ending up with Kawhi dribbling the ball into crowd and making a rushed decision. I’m tired of getting outplayed by younger teams that know moving off-ball and sharing is a recipe for success.

We’re in a bad place now. Season has just started and it’s already looking like we are not going to be able to be anything more than a play-in team. And that’s after 4 years of this era already…

I’m a die hard Clippers fan so nothing left for me than to watch these games hoping something changes. But this season? Nothing will change. This team needs a breath of fresh air and I believe that’ll require trading at least some of the stars and maybe even changing a coach for someone who’s biggest strength isn’t “managing personalities” but rather actually creating game plans that lead to domination and stability.

We cannot live and die by our stars…
