Disgraceful showing by the Clippers, who need to make a strong statement by firing Ty Lue. In a way that's deeply disrespectful and unprofessional. I'd even cap it by publicly daring him to take a job with the Lakers. Goad him all the way to El Segundo. That would show fans! AK

Bad job reading the room. Yes, the season is a marathon, but the Lakers also didn’t just get a 10-game winning streak snapped. They’re regressing. And saying “I’m tired of people living and dying with every game we play” is essentially chiding passion, intentionally or not. AK
