A popular preseason pick to play for their first NBA championship, the Clippers (22-24) have lost nine of their past 11 games and play nine of their next 10 on the road.
The prevailing mood in the Clippers’ locker room lately has been upbeat, optimistic that there was time to turn around their rollercoaster season which has gone more down than up. Just flip the switch.
“It’s now,” Paul George said after the team’s loss to Philadelphia on Wednesday. “We’ve just been behind the ball in terms of injuries and lineups and guys being in and out. Urgency starts now. We’ve got to start playing with some desperation.” Rose said the problem isn’t Coach Tyronn Lue because he’s “one of the best coaches in the entire league.” Instead, he called the Clippers a JV squad in their market .
“Just getting guys healthy has been a big thing for us when guys miss five or six games and now you take their offensive package out and you bring them back and guys like ‘Oh.’ They don’t really know what their spots are or where they’re going to, so it’s just kind of hard,” Lue said.
