Tyronn Lue is off to a solid start as Clippers coach. Lue won an NBA championship with LeBron at Cleveland. And went to three NBA Finals. LA’s 2020 Playoff implosion with NBA bets sparked Lue’s hiring. Specifically, his track record is good working with superstar players. Golden State was without Stephen Curry in 2019-20. Curry’s absence made their abysmal record understandable. Curry has returned for the new season. Yet Golden State hasn’t responded with a strong start. Squares think Curry is all that the Warriors need. Sharps realize that the Warriors are a shell of their past dynasty.
