Tyronn Lue made it a point to say that James Harden and Kawhi Leonard are going to get minutes with the second unit

Which would decrease all-bench lineups and 10-man rotations

So I asked T. Lue about having more all-bench lineups considering the quality of the players they have

Tyronn Lue on 1st half: "I just thought we went through the motions. I didn't think we really locked in and had that defensive mindset to start the game. They ran around too free, got whatever shot they wanted. We didn't really take them serious."

Kawhi Leonard on Clippers defense: "It went well. These games are always tough. You don't know who you're guarding… just got to keep building for it"

Added that "it's still preseason, it's practice" when I asked about areas of improvement for next preseason game Sunday.

Kawhi Leonard: "I've been an Unc for a long time. Since I was 16 years old. So, nothing new. I started on a team with a lot of veterans. It's nothing new to me."

Kawhi on San Diego: "Just the city itself, you know, it's chill. Everybody shows love. It's not a lot of high profile stuff going on. Everybody's pretty much chill. No matter who you are. Let you live a little bit. And that's great."
