Lue demands Harden attack the rim more

The Los Angeles Clippers have not triumphed in a match since trading for James Harden, and manager Ty Lue made it clear what he demands from his new player.

“Harden is being too polite,” Lue claimed.

In the Beard 1^st home match with his new organization, Los Angeles suffered their 5^th consecutive defeat with a 105-101 vs. the Memphis Grizzlies.

With James in the lineup, the franchise is 0-4 and still trying to make it work with their new Big 4 of James, Kawhi, George, and Westbrook.

George notched 26 points, but Leonard finished with only 14 points and not a single one in the 4^th quarter. James Harden 6 of his 7 shots beyond the arc and finished with 11 points.

Clips boss also added that he told James and his teammates at training that the Beard has “free rein” to play his style vs. Grizzlies.

Ty Lue rarely allows his emotions to get the best of him, and he rarely chastises his team in public.

But after the Clippers lost their fifth straight game, he was frustrated enough to have a curse word slip out while speaking.
