Ohm Youngmisuk: Ty Lue says it’s “unfair” if Darvin Ham is receiving any criticism during Lakers struggles. He said what Ham did last year “was huge… that says a lot about what he can do as a coach.”

Key Tyronn Lue vs Lakers stat:
Clippers have won every first quarter vs Lakers under Tyronn Lue (12 games). The only time Clippers lost the game was in November, when Los Angeles Lakers had to overcome a 19-point deficit.
If nothing else, T Lue has had his team ready to play… – 8:34 PM

Lakers are an NBA-worst -133 in 3-point FG margin this season.
For perspective, Lakers were 27th in that category last year but allowed 143 more 3s than they made all season.
Lue says Clippers can’t worry about that. Wants Clippers focused on protecting possessions and paint. pic.twitter.com/JQJGed6lWP – 8:29 PM

Asked if he feels he is coaching for his job, Darvin Ham said he doesn’t feel that way. He knows he’s coaching a storied franchise and it comes with territory. – 7:54 PM

Darvin Ham said he’s expecting D’Angelo Russell to be available tonight after missing the last 3 games with a tailbone contusion.
He’ll continue to come off the bench. – 7:52 PM

Ty Lue has never had a Clippers team play this many reps together. Continuity has built a contender. A story on last night’s milestone, why the losing streak was a “blessing,” and where players say one of the league’s best lineups can still improve

The LA Clippers allow the 8th-most field goal attempts in the paint outside the restricted area.
But Only the 76ers and Nets allow a lower FG% in that area once teams get there.
Tonight, Pelicans were 5/18 (27.8%) in that area.
Here’s T. Lue on Zubac, Zion, and LA defense. pic.twitter.com/WyUS3rM3NG – 12:47 AM

Ty Lue credited Russell Westbrook’s pace and defense (those back to back steals with the Clippers trailing early) as indelible factors in the win. – 10:26 PM

Merciful timeout called by Tyronn Lue, echoing the early 2nd quarter timeout Willie Green called tonight. Both teams have combined to miss 10 of 12 shots this quarter to go with 5 combined turnovers
Obviously beignets
Clippers, who lead 95-70 with 8:21 left to play – 9:49 PM

Back-to-back Westbrook steals ends a 9-0 New Orleans run, with the first of those steals cutting New Orleans lead to 24-18.
Notable that T. Lue subbed Zubac out as soon as Williamson subbed out – 8:28 PM

Exclusive: Tyronn Lue always says that hope is stronger than fear. He has the LA Clippers thriving this year, and he just won his first Coach of the month with the team.
This week a year ago? Complete opposite.

Jovan Buha: Darvin Ham, who’s recently referred to the peaks and valleys of an NBA season, was asked how he knows if this is a valley or a cliff that he and the Lakers are facing. Ham: “I don’t know. I guess the velocity at which I hit the ground.” -via Twitter @jovanbuha / January 7, 2024
Mark Medina: Lakers coach Darvin Ham said D’Angelo Russell will be available to play tonight vs the Clippers -via Twitter @MarkG_Medina / January 7, 2024
Andrew Greif: Ty Lue said he wouldn’t let the Clippers “off the hook” from getting better despite their hot streak. That continues vs. Lakers. “No matter how bad they’re playing or how bad y’all think they’re playing, it’s going to be a tough game for us tonight. So we got to be locked in.” -via Twitter @AndrewGreif / January 7, 2024
Andrew Greif: Has Ty Lue seen the Clippers play with this much confidence during his tenure as coach? “I don’t think so,” he said. -via Twitter @AndrewGreif / January 5, 2024
