Short term:
1. Fire Ty, name Craig or Shaw interim.
2. Buyout/bench/tell Marcus morris to stay away.
3. Start Mann and RoCo.
4. Bones 2nd unit PG, Russ Swiss Army knife to go between starters and bench. Very limited minutes if any.

Long term:
1. Trade PG. Too much money tied up in someone as inconsistent and lackadaisical as he is. He’s also lost a step on both ends and looks to be on his way to washed.
2. Consider trading kawhi depending on what you can get for him. Clear cap space and hoard draft picks for when next superstar wants out, hopefully it will be before they’re on the downside of their prime a la KL and PG.

3 games with westbrook, 3 losses. Ask any Laker fan if they think this a coincidence.

That’s the post.

No KAT ? No sweat. Lue is on the other side.
He is not the type to change his ways, no adjustments on the team turnovers game after game, playing his favorites at the expense of other deserving players who now seemed not wanting to play for Ty, and Lue’s league wide well read spray the paint and kick out resulting to deflections and turnovers, among others.
Even Fratello for me, which his game comments, like need for ball movement (not when the shoot first PG is tasked to orchestrate which Ty approved) could be an upgrade over Lue. What more of Udoka, Craig. Can’t argue with results of the Clips season to date.
Remove Lue as HC. Nowhere to go but up.
Ballmer needs to do a Doc type of Clips justice again now. There is still the play in, hopefully. The team still has a surplus of talented players for a proper coach to utilize since Lue still can’t figure them out up to now.

As one of the Twins pointed out, on Twitter, I wouldn’t be surprised if he steps down on his own at seasons end. Unless they make a real run

I was looking at Zu in that last Rudy dunk, & perhaps his & PGs awareness could’ve been better, but Kawhi was to blame here! He was back cut by Slo Mo, badly, which opened up the lane for Rudy to roll to the basket for the clinching dunk! Can’t have that from your best player & defender down 4 with 30 secs left. For as great as he’s been, he’s also had alot of defensive lapses.

Shout out PG, he had his moments defensively (though not to egregiously) but I thought he had a really good game on that end. Just thought I’d point that out since I’ve been on him tough the past 2 games. He can still be ALOT better on both ends though

If this continues, I don’t think it’s crazy to expect that Lue’s seat, which must already be uncomfortably warm, will get a whole lot hotter.

In that one moment the camera caught him yelling “Play harder!” Shades of Doc.

In that case play the important guys against the warriors then.

And the kings, rest Batum,, Kawhi and PG. make sure to play Mook the full 48 minutes so that he’ll be mentally and physically beaten so bad that he’ll have weeks to recover.

The warriors game is actually more important, they all are really. Point is, you’re not catching the Kings, gotta hold off those behind you now

You’re saying Sr closed & you watched the game though, can’t be both!

Mann was horrible today! He & EJ haven’t been the same since Russ arrived & that’s mainly cuz both played best alongside the stars. Funny how that works. Their attitudes has def changed, especially Mann! Can’t have that no matter how unhappy you currently are. Roco has had every right to be pissed off & asked to get traded or released, yet is always cheering on his guys
