The Los Angeles Clippers were defeated soundly in their season opener against the Utah Jazz on Wednesday, 129-108. After the game, Tyronn Lue spoke with the media, making one clear and definitive statement on his way out of the visiting press conference room. "I take responsibility for that bulls---," he said.
Well, that's a pretty definitive statement. Clippers reporter Justin Russo noted that this comment came as Lue was walking out of the room, so it technically wasn't said while any cameras were rolling. But that doesn't mean Ty wasn't being serious. He clearly took this loss particularly hard, and wanted it to be known that he intends to step up his work.
