An opening night postgame reaction in the LA Times by Andrew Greif on Thursday on the cultural change new LA Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue is trying to implement had a quote that is ringing around in my head:
“We don’t want to be a front-running team; when things are going great, we’re cheering for one another,” Lue said. “When things are going bad, we’re going to do the same.”
Lue is trying to address both a need for his team to focus for full games, and for them to not get down when the game is not going their way.
