Tyronn Lue was crossed with his arms, his voice stable and his message clearly about his dissatisfaction about how the clippers provoked him with their recent versions and how they should all look in the mirror to solve their problems.

It was more than just the 122-97 Beatdown by the Lakers on Tuesday evening in the Intuit Dome that Lue was upset. It was the way his group played in the last three games with the Clippers coach at a rare moment to tear his players.

“And we have been good, so I can’t be, you know, completely upset,” said Lue. “But the last three games have made me really angry.”

At a certain point, the clippers fell with 31 points for the Lakers, only the latest achievement with which Lue had problems.

He also pointed to the victory of the clippers at Charlotte and their loss in Toronto.

“We just don’t get well,” said Lue. ‘So we do not lock defensively. Such as 45 points in the first quarter [for the Lakers]As if that is just way too much. And so we had to be proud of guarding.

“That is who we have been all season and now the last three games we have abandoned our guards and this is what happens. So we have to be better. We have to look at ourselves in the mirror and think about we want to win or not. That must be our mentality. And so we come in three games with no great defensive performance and it just doesn’t put enough in the game. Even the offensive end, don’t put much into the game. And so when that happens, you will be blown out as we did tonight. “

The Lakers shot 54.9% from the field and 48.6% of three -point range. This was against a stellar clippers defense that was arranged third in the NBA in the specified points (107.2) and second in defensive efficiency (106.2) that entered the game.

“Focus, eh, intensity, effort. Whatever you want to call it, “said Lue. “We don’t bring it. So we have to solve that. “

Kawhi Leonard only had 11 points on Four-11 shooting.

He was asked why effort was a problem for the clippers in recent competitions.

“I don’t know,” said Leonard. “It’s hard to say. We are all paid to play this game and leave it all on the floor. So I’m not sure. “

Leonard is still limited in his minutes. He only played 22:26. But at least he spoke with the media after the game.

James Harden left without speaking with the media. He only had seven points, missed 10 of 12 shots and was min-16 in almost 30 minutes.

The clippers came from a journey of four games in eight days, but refused to use it as an excuse.

“We must first look in the mirror and be able to come here and can do our work,” Leonard said. “That’s where it starts. I can’t look over the shoulder for help with those things about playing hard. “

With his team 25 at 6:58, Lue had seen enough. He pulled his starters. Two of the players who entered were Patty Mills and Drew Eanks, taken over from the Utah Jazz for Mo Bamba, PJ Tucker, a second round of pick and cash considerations from 2030.

Lue spoke very much about mills and eubanks.

“Two solid guys you like to have in your team,” said Lue. “Plays in the right way. Plays hard, competes. “

The NBA trading deadline is Thursday, more than enough time for the clippers to take another step. With that in mind, Lue was asked if the clippers have enough to make a deep run.

“Yes, I feel so,” said Lue. “As soon as we can get Kawhi’s minutes to where we need them, and it is 100%, which means that timing, which means that we are only conditional, we can make a run. We can beat everyone at any time. We can also lose from any team if we don’t play in the right way. So we have enough in the dressing room to win games and go deep in the play -offs. And so we just have to have the right mindset, play for each other and everything can happen. “
