“Contant communications”: Tyronn Lue reveals reason behind Los Angeles Clippers success this season

Los Angeles Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue believes that his team’s impressive form recently is down to ‘constant communication’ among its stars Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, James Harden and Russell Westbrook.

The Clippers are one of the most in-form teams in the competition as they are placed at the top of the Pacific Division with 36 wins and just 17 defeats.

Lue has been recently quoted in a report where he highlighted how constant communication has played a key role in the team’s success this season.

“It’s just constant communication,” he said. “I think those guys talking a lot, just having a lot of dialogue amongst each other, just where they want the ball, how they want to run plays, how they see different things and they all had to sacrifice.

“And, so, when you have three dynamic players like that — and then four with Russ [Westbrook] — it’s very important that they talk and communicate and understand that sacrifice is going to be important if you want to go to the next level. And I think they’ve done a good job of doing that.

“It feels good having these guys on the court. Like when PG and Kawhi are on the court, we’re a different team and we know that. So, having those guys healthy has been big for our success.

“We want to win, for sure. For us, it’s just our mentality every single night and just constantly getting better. That’s got to be our mentality. Win or lose, we got to continue to keep getting better, understand our philosophy on both sides of the ball and continue to grow as a team and we got to make sure we’re doing that.”
