Tyronn Lue has led the Clippers to "yaw", how long can Ballmer endure it?

Recently, the Clippers suffered a 4-game losing streak and ranked 13th in the Western Conference with 3 wins and 6 losses. Tyronn Lue has led the Clippers to "yaw", and Ballmer should have made a decision early.

Tyronn Lue has been coaching the Clippers since 2020. In the past five seasons, he has been eliminated in the first round of the playoffs twice and failed in the second round tiebreaker. At that time, it was still the dual-core model of Leonard and George. Later, after Harden joined, several people played in and out, suffered constant injuries, and the record never improved.

This season had a bad start. Leonard played 5 games and then started to get injured. Tyronn Lue was helpless and led the Clippers to a 4-game losing streak. Judging from the remaining schedule in November, the Clippers may suffer a longer losing streak. From November 11 to 30, the Clippers played a total of 11 games against the Hawks, Nuggets, Mavericks, Celtics, 76ers, Magic, Hornets, Cavaliers, Grizzlies and Mavericks, including 4 home games and 7 away games.

If the Clippers fail to reach the playoffs this season, will Ballmer fire Tyronn Lue?

The Clippers renewed Tyronn Lue's contract in the summer of 2024. The contract is worth $70 million over five years. The contract is only in its second year.
