Time for a postgame. Look, it's your La Clippers. This is Clippers
Locker Room, brought to you by Cedars Sinai, the official health partner of
the La Clippers, and by Patschonga, official travel casino of the La Clippers.
Breaking down today's action with the pre and post game voice. If you're
La Clippers, they're locking in every game, every night. Adam Osland without
PG thirteen without Kohi Leonard. It was a valiant effort from the Clippers,
but they come up short against the Bucks one twenty four to one to seventeen
in game two of having to play two games in twenty two hours. Welcome
into your postgame show. I'm at a Oslin coming up on the Patriot A
M. Eleven fifty. We'll have Clippers stock for you eight seven seven five
to two zero eleven fifty eight seven seven five two zero eleven fifty. But
first back out to your radio voice of the Clippers and Carlo Jimenez from Crypto.
Well, I tip my cap to this Clippers team and the effort and
the heart and the hustle we saw out there today. They didn't get out
worked. They may have been out talented towards the end there with Dame Dallas
showing up big late for the Bucks. But this Clippers team continue to compete.
Carlo Yeah, I think there's just so many positives to take away from
this effort, from this intensity, from the focus of this group today.
I mean, they didn't turn the ball over much for maybe a couple late
in that game, but really four in the second half, four in the
first half, seventeen offensive rebounds was tied for the second most of this season.
They beat the Bucks by eighteen on points in the paint. They got
thirty assists, the first time they lose the game all year in which they
get thirty assists. They were an eleven to zero prior the Clippers. You
hate to dwindle it down to pure talent and that the Bucks made shots late.
Got to give credit to the Bucks for getting downhill. They outshot the
Clippers at the free throw line. They made twenty one free throws, the
Clippers just nine free throws. But the Clippers missed some open looks. And
if they shoot ten percent better like we know they do on the season,
just twenty nine percent, today we might be talking about maybe the biggest win
of the year. For the Clippers. Yeah, this Clippers team, the
numbers progressing to the mean. It never came around from the outside. There
were moments there where you thought they were going to heat up, but just
fourteen of forty seven from three. They attempted forty seven three balls in this
one. They were playing the analytics game. I thought there were some tremendous
performances across the board, starting with the Visa Zubots. He got them off
to the start. He had the first couple of buckets in the first half,
first couple of buckets in the second half. Of the Clippers. The
pick and roll was working with heat and James Harden, who played thirty six
minutes in this game after playing thirty four today. Also, we're gonna call
it it was the same day, same game day. At least James Harden
and the Visa Zubots. You know, they've worked out some of the kinks
of just the rust not having played with one another enough over the past month
or so. With Big Zoo being out, that's an encouraging sign as well.
Carlo. Yeah, one hundred percent agreed. Zubots was a well oiled
machine today. Eighteen points six rebounds, nine to eleven, but even with
him off the floor, the Clips did a fantastic job of staying in this
game. I thought Brandon Boston was aggressive. It was good to see him
get some run. A mere coffee, a big time bounced back performance.
We've talked about the last two afternoons at him because the Clippers like the Chicago
Cubs. You know that you can't play with the lights on in downtown Chicago.
Oh wait, we play indoor sport. I don't know. I'm trying
to figure out a reason why we play so many times in the middle of
the day. But a mere coffee needed this kind of performance. He need
a bounce back performance. He got it. Sixteen points, ten rebounds,
a big time block. I thought Daniel Tyst defensively was really strong in this
one on Giannis. Two blocks on him to go along with six rebounds.
Clippers outshot the Bucks by seventeen and lost. That is tough. That is
tough. I don't know how many teams at him have out shot an opponent
by seventeen this season and have not won the game. When you see that
number, you just think, man, the Clippers had this one. The
shots just did not drop, and I think that's a fair way to chock
this one up. I want to say the Clipper did it when they didn't
have an offensive rebound against the Detroit Pistons, but it is a very rare
occurrence here to your point, and the Clippers had seventeen offensive rebounds. I
mean the hustle plays, the way they scrapped the hot start they got off
to in the first quarter in a way we haven't seen from the Slippers team
in a long time, winning that first quarter thirty three to twenty nine.
They were coached up the right way, they had the right mindset. They
did everything they could. They just ran out of talent late against the stack
Milwaukee Bucks team. That let's face it, they were trying to get a
victory after dropping their last couple, and especially the one against the Lakers with
out Lebron James in that ballgame. They were a hell bent on trying to
find a way to win this one. It was Dame Dollar who was too
much for the Clippers late. The Bucks win one twenty four to one seventeen.
They overcome a tremendous spirited effort by your Los Angeles Clippers in Game two
of a two and twenty two hour stretch by the Clippers week dime. We'll
never have to say it again, Carlo, We'll never have to say to
So now you can break down the tent or whatever you and Big Bro had.
I know the s'mores were firing last night. It was like the sandlot
there at Crypto dot Com Arena. Because when you play two games that close
together, why not just stay at the arena? Oh great, call my
friends. We'll see you at Crypto Tuesday night. Don't bring a hat at
them, see you Tuesday. Clippers fall on twenty four to one's seventeen to
the Milwaukee Bucks. You're listening to your postgame show right here on the Los
Angeles Clippers Audio Network. The LA Clippers continue their hunt for a Lariobe.
They still want to get that Lario bat. Don't miss a moment all season
long. This is the LA Clippers Audio Network. Clippers come up just short
without Kawhi, without Paul George in game two and a twenty two hour two
games stretch. They lose one twenty four to one to seventeen to the Milwaukee
Bucks. From Crypto dot Com Arena. Welcome back into your postgame show.
I'm at a Manslin, this is Clippers locker room coming up on the Patriot
AM eleven fifty. We will have Clippers talk for you. When the Dodgers
are on AM five to seventy. We will be on the Patriot AM eleven
fifty moving forward. Eight seven seven five two zero eleven fifty eight seven seven
five two zero eleven fifty is the phone number. Clippers end up losing by
seven. It was much closer throughout in this one. They were up by
three at the half. They led sixty two to fifty nine, but they
were just six of twenty two from the outside. We were hoping that would
eventually change. It never really did. But in that third quarter it was
the Bucks starting to get things going. They got out in transition a little
bit. They outscored the Clippers thirty two to twenty three in the third where
the Clippers matched their turnover total from the first half, they only had four.
They had four in the third quarter alone. The Bucks got too many
easy ones there. Giannis aDNA Kupo started to get it going. Vitza Zubats
got in a foul trouble early, picked up two fouls within the first minute
or so of that third quarter. So the Clippers were down heading into the
fourth by seven. They eventually lose by seven, but in that fourth quarter,
another special performance by the King of the Fourth Norman Powell. Norman right
angle twice right, puts it in norm all the way to the cup call
layup the blocking fowl in the finish Norman Palace keeping a minute. He had
eight of his season high twenty six points in the fourth quarter. The Clippers
absolutely battled. We saw dunk from Brandon Boston over the top of Jannis and
Kompo and Bobby Portis. I gave everything they had. They just didn't have
their two best players in this one. Understandably, you played two games in
twenty two hours, which goes against NBA policy, but I guess they don't
care in this case, and the Clippers come up short. They lose one
twenty four to one to seventeen to the Milwaukee Bucks. We'll take a quick
time out well preview Tuesday's game. It's a big one Clippers taken on the
Minnesota Timberwolves. Right back at Crypto. You're listening to the Los Angeles Clippers.
Already a Network Clipper game. All season long, they didn't stop playing
hard you're listening to the LA Clippers Audio Network streaming on the iHeartRadio Lab.
Clippers lose one twenty four to one seventeen at home to the Milwaukee Bucks in
game two at twenty two hour stretch where they played two ball games. Hasn't
happened to anybody else, hasn't happened to anybody else. Won't happen to anybody
else. Won't happen to the Clippers again once they're an into it Dome next
season. They ended up being led by Norman Palo off the bench twenty six
points and thirty one minutes, nine of twenty one, shooting just three or
fourteen from the outside. Man who was putting them up needed to. If
they had just gotten hot from the outside, they ended up just fourteen of
forty seven. Could have been a little bit different. Bones higling off the
bench with twelve points. My player to watch five of twelve, two three
pointers made, got to the basket, knocked down some threes, exactly what
I was looking for. Huge three pointer in the fourth let out that I
will scream afterwards. Awesome to see great competitor. Daniel Ties a couple of
blocks coming off the bench against Giannis Denikompo, Brandon Boston dunked on the Greek
freak, got a technical afterwards. Come on, let him play. James
Harden played thirty six minutes after we played thirty four minutes earlier. Today,
you could say thirteen points eleven assists got them off to a quick start.
The pick and roll with Big Zoo was working. He had eighteen and six
Clippers overall out rebounded the Bucks fifty two to forty one. Played with a
great spirit out there, competed hard. PJ. Tucker was a part of
that. Three of nine, shooting just one three pointer, but he was
taking them after attempting three shots, all three pointers in his last one hundred
minutes. Today he gets up nine shots in twenty five minutes. Six of
them were threes. He faced with seven points, but the offensive rebounds.
Four of his six boards were offen the rebounds and mere coffee big time.
Another great start from him. He went four of six from the outside sixteen
points. Terrence Man had sixteen as well, two of six from three,
but six of ten overall. Had his moments, especially in that third quarter.
Fortunately Dame Dalla. He had fifteen points in the fourth. Big Three's
got fouled on one of them. Jan Has had ten points in the fourth
quarter and the Clippers lose one twenty four to one seventeen. The under man
Clippers to the Milwaukee Bucks. Their next game is against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
That'll be Tuesday night to finish off this three game homestand tip time from Cryptos
at seven versus the Wolves. Well, every pregame show starting at six.
Outside of Los Angeles, we are leaving you until then. But in La
on the Patriot AM eleven fifty, we got Clippers South next. This has
been LA Clippers basketball really good on multitude of levels. Don't miss a moment
all season long on their official hole. Join us next time on the LA

they were in attack mode, Adam Ousley. The Clippers were so close
to overcoming what what felt like was a literal scheduled loss. A second game
within twenty two hours. They come up short without Kawhi, without Paul George.
They lose one twenty four to one seventeen to the Milwaukee Bucks at home
at Crypto. Welcome in to Clipperstock. You're on the Patriot AM eleven fifty
when the Dodgers are on A five seventy. This is where we will be.
Eight seven seven five two zero eleven fifty is your new phone number?
Eight seven to seven five two zero eleven fifties the phone number when we're on
the Patriot AM eleven fifty. Coming up on the show. We'll hear from
coach Lou postgame. Will Updyke even on a loss. I think he's coming
on maybe some player Audio two. Couldn't be more proud of this team,
couldn't be more frustrated with the NBA. I don't want to harp on it
too much. I did enough of that yesterday, like not even yesterday today,
two games within twenty two hours should never happen, not supposed to happen
according to NBA protocols. I guess they just don't care. Get it in.
They messed up the schedule. They didn't realize daylight savings spring forward,
and they gave the Clippers two games to get ready for in twenty two hours.
If you think it's not a big deal, go look at what teams
records are on the second night of a back to back. Even the elite
teams lose those games often. And now they have a game that's not even
the next night, it's in the very same day. Kahi and Paul George
don't play, shouldn't have to play. There are two injury prone stars that
are already banged up. You're not gonna play them. If one of those
guys gets hurt in this game disaster, you would have could attributed it to
having to play yesterday, excessive wear and tear. No medical staff would let
that happen, so they don't play. I totally understand why, and I
don't blame the Clippers. I only wish that this game was on ABC so
the NBA would really have to feel it, is this what you want?
Games this close together? Of course teams are gonna rest guys then, makes
no sense, nonsensical. It'll never happen again. They'll be an into it.
Dome I don't think has happened before. I asked tomar Azzari pregame.
He couldn't think of an instance, even with the Clippers, who have had
these home back to back matinee games for years, but not one starting twenty
two hours after the first one. Ridiculous. But I mentioned how impressed I
was by this Clippers' effort, the heart, the hustle, the spirit they
played with aside from the opening quarter, one of their best starts to a
game in a while. They beat the Bucks with the starting lineup of PJ.
Tucker beat to Zubats, James Harden, Terrence Man and mere Coffee thirty
three to twenty nine. In that first quarter started hot, Big Zoo was
cooking. If you wonder why I belabor the point of getting a beat to
Zoo bots to the basketball and why you should be used more on offense,
it's because of games like this. He has a weapon on offense. He's
a whole nother element you can unlock to this offense, and it needs to
be done. When you have James Harden running pick and roll, Big Zoo's
the guy for that. So one of the things I'm encouraged by is Big
Zoo got shots up. It's kind of a refresher course of Oh yeah,
he's actually really good on offense too. Nine of eleven eighteen points was getting
buckets on Giannis. Maybe feed him a little bit more even when the stars
are back. He's more than capable. Clearly, he had a hook shot
and then a push shot to start the game first four of the ball game,
first four I think the second quarter two or in the second half,
had a nice spinning shot around defenders, was working Brook, Lopez and Johnston
and Kupo. The pick and roll with him and James Harden is elite.
That is what the Clippers need to get back to and do more often,
much more often. I've been saying this for weeks when you have teams coming
back on you Layton ball games. And granted the vitz Zubas hasn't looked right
coming back with the calf injury, then the illness, had a headache against
Houston in that game. Plumbley came in, gave him great second half that
game, some solid miss in this one, also in the third. But
if you don't want to see ISO ball down the stretch of games, run
high pick and roll with one of the most devastating pick and roll players since
John Stockton in James Harden him in a big zoo working in tandem. That's
it. That's the solution. That's how you have a system and something to
fall back on when shots aren't falling. Let's say it again. Coach lu
brought this up early on when they brought in James Harden. You run picking
roll sixty times, they're probably getting fifty five good shots out of it,
So run it period. Last few games they have been Clippers have benefited greatly
from that, Thank goodness. Thirteen points and eleven assists from James, but
just five of sixteen from the field, one of six from three. Fatigue
may have contributed to that. You think he played thirty four minutes earlier in
the day in their win over the Bulls. Terrence Man had sixteen I thought
really gave him a boost. He had a bucket out of a time out.
It was in the third quarter, a layup that was the first field
goal. I think in the third off a nice pass from Pump Plumble.
Because if each Zubas picked up a couple of fouls, all of a sudden,
they were calling it tight. Because Bobby Porters Junior was trying to rip
the ball from James Harden. I think it was near the end of the
first half. There was a little bit of chirping, a little bit of
talking. Clippers were up by three twenty four minutes in. The Bucks are
trying to find themselves under Doc Rivers. I think a couple games over five
hundred at most since he came into the fold. Their defense has been better.
But they lost the game to the Lakers that really they shouldn't have lost
because Lebron James wasn't playing on Friday night. You knew they were going to
be at their best. I posted at follow out of May right afterwards.
Great, now the Bucks are gonna be angry. You know who was especially
angry Damian Lillard, who's defense in some ways costed to them the game.
I'm not sure why he's out there defensively for plays like that, and you
don't have to leave him out there late. And they had the lead,
and then Dangelo Russell was cooking, but he had fifteen of his third five
points in the fourth quarter of this one and was getting loose, was getting
three pointers. The Clippers did what they could, tried to defend it a
little bit too aggressive on one of them by a mere coffee. He fouled.
Dame went to the free throw line, hit all three of them.
Make it sixteen points in that fourth quarter from Dame. Actually Jansta Dena Koupo
in the fourth he ended up with nine. It was good. He had
a nice hook shot over Zoo, a jumper over him, obviously part of
his game he's been working on. But the Clippers are right there phones highland
energy. Plays two three pointers, twelve points, five of twelve shooting,
got to the basket, five assists, zero turnovers. Let out that scream
during that run after a big three pointer off a nice feed from James Harden.
It was hot, get it chilling. Just the Clippers overall couldn't shoot
from the outside fourteen of forty seven, that's thirty percent. That was their
path to winning the game, knocking down a few more threes that typically they
do, but they haven't been making them, strangely enough over the last fourteen
games where they're seven and seven post Grammy road trip. More on that coming
up. While we have a moment, though, let's pause ten seconds for
station identification here on the Patriot AM eleven fifty. This is LA Clippers basketball
AM eleven fifty k EiV, Los Angeles about an iHeartRadio station, proud of
the Clippers, encouraged by some things, but ultimately a loss, a game
that shouldn't even have been played at that time. Let's start things off with
I know what Shawn and Inglewood back to back days. He calls in,
Sean, what's up, hey, my man? A couple of things I
want to talk about. First. I want to back you up with everything
said about the scheduling. The one thing I had just had a thought while
you were talking. And I don't want to harp on this too much,
but when they do get the new stadium, there's going to still be teams
from the East Coast coming out to play, maybe two or three teams on
the West coast, And while they're in LA, they're probably going to give
the Lakers first choice and then go Clippers, we want you to do it
at this time, this day, but at least now that they have their
own stadium, maybe the Clippers that have some right or refusal because while they
were in crypto or whether they're now in crypto, they really have to just
take what they can get. I don't know, why in that situation the
Lakers would have any more priority than the Clippers when the Clippers at that point
would have their own arena and the Lakers are still behind the LA Kinks,
who have priority. So the Lakers will still be the glamour team for the
NBA. That's why I'm just not the harp on that. But I don't
think that's right. I don't think that's something you can put in writing,
is my point. I'm not saying it won't happen, but the Clippers could
certainly protest that. Then it's like, well, wait a second, we
built our own arena. We're number on one priority there. The Lakers are
second fiddle to the LA Kings. I don't know why you would give the
nod to the Lakers. I'm sure it will happen sometimes, but I'm I'm
already bothered by it. Apparently, HAROLDE. Yeah, they'll have more leverage
this time. So it's one of the things I want to talk about.
That second most thing I want to talk about that you see the defense up
face to face on Damian Levary by Brandon Boston. I know the kid has
offense and I want him to get more minutes but I think he even blocked
one of Liward's shot and another time Lilyard just gave up the bowl and he
saw Brandon off. So he's quick enough and long enough to give Lillard some
problems that Lillard recognized that. I don't know if he saw that move game
within the game, Brandon Boston slowly but surely's been putting on weight. You
can see that with him his defense. It's it's not that the effort wasn't
there before, he was just so slight a frame. But I agree with
you, he had some very good possessions against Dame Dolla overall all right,
And just the third thing, which I always say, at some point it
might be a good idea to try Plumbe and Zoo in the line up at
the same time. And if Ty didn't do it in this game, he
never will because let's face that Plumbly played well, Zu played amazing. The
last two games that you played was the best two games I've seen him play
in a row. Ever, So, Sean, how's that spacing gonna look
on offense? I don't care about spacing that thir If you don't care about
spacing, you don't care about winning either. Sean, that's the point there.
If you don't care about spacing, you don't care about winning. Sorry,
I don't care about for three or four minutes. Come on, you
could. You can get cooked in three or four minutes. In this league,
you can easily lose a ball game. It is that easy. It
happens all the time. You put out a bad lineup and you aren't good
for three or four minutes, the game can be over that quickly. We
saw that, We saw it against so they should throw the game, is
what you're saying, Sean. Let me explain something to you. We just
saw it last time out against the Bucks. Early in the fourth quarter.
They had a lineup out there with three non shooters and they got outscored by
twelve points in less than three minutes. That's that was, excuse me.
Against the Lakers, that's how they lost that game. When they were up
by twenty one, they had a lineup out there with three non shooters and
they got outscored by twelve points in three minutes. So I'm giving you an
actual example of what I'm talking about. It recently just happened. It's playing
and the Clippers tried to match up with that and they got destroyed. Sean,
they got destroyed. So I appreciate the phone call, but that's what
happened. We got to take a quick time out. Clippers lose one twenty
four yeah to the Wonkee Bucks at Crypto. Second game up two, Let's
play two, says the NBA. NBA cares. Let's say, don't two
games and twenty two hours more. Clippers sock next year on the Patriot AMUL
fifteen loading Clippers fully loaded with Clippers fans. This is LA Clippers basketball.
You're listening to the La Clippers on the LA Clippers Audio Network. Clippers split
the two games in one day schedule by the NBA. They lose one twenty
four to one seventeen in game two after winning over the Bulls earlier in the
game day. Welcome back into Clippers stock. I'm out of moslind eight seven
seven five to zero. Eleven fifty is the phone number. Love how this
Clippers team played. They went hard, they gave everything they had. You
saw guys like PJ. Tucker getting run, Brandon Boston Junior. They used
Zoo Plumb and Daniel Tice as I thought they would because they're going up against
the autis Dennekompo, and they pushed the Bucks to the brink, but Damian
Lillward was too good late, big three pointers down the stretch. Clippers fall
by seven. Harold and North Hollywood. Harold, what's up here on Clipper
stock with out of Mauzon? You went to Harold? Yes something, Yeah,
Adam? Who dug out for the fans? I mean they come to
see a game. Who's looking out for the player's health, Harold, who's
looking out for the player's health. Who's looking out for the player's health,
Harold? Two games in twenty two hours, Harold, Harold, give me
one example of a team playing two games in twenty two hours. If you
can, I'll keep you on. Oh you don't have one. Oh you
don't have one, Harold. Why don't they play two games in twenty two
hours? Why don't other teams play that? Why? Okay, Adam?
My point is these people are paying top dollar to see the games, and
now you're coming out with the weather twenty two hours. Blah blah blah.
It's against the NBA's own protocol for a reason, Harold, And yet they
let it happen, Harold, are what are teams wreckers on the second hand
of back to back? Are they good, Adam or are they bad?
Are those games easier or are those games harder? All right, I appreciate
the phone call. I tried give me an example. So we move on,
We move Jose and Downey Jose. What's up here on Clipperstock Well about
him? Yeah, totally agree with you, man. As much as I
like to, I want these guys to play tonight, today was not a
day for them to play. If Kohire, Paul George get hurt because you're
pushing a game in the regular season, you're pushing them to play two games
in twenty two hours. I mean people would be getting let go. That
would be gross negligence. That's what that would be. They're both injury prone
and they're both already banged up. What do you want, right? So
how about not taking them play two games in one day? NBA? That
is the solution, that is it? Yeah? Exactly agree man, I
I it's a good call by the staff. You don't let him play.
This is the healthiest we've ever had them in the five years, and I
want to see what happens in the end. So no, it's the right
call. In terms of the game, love the energy, like you said,
love all the energy. You see good stuff there obviously would a hold
for the win, but you know it didn't go that way. But there
was a lot of positive to build up of. I'm glad that a lot
of the younger guys got running time, building confidence, even in PJ.
Tucker Bones. And hopefully it comes it comes big for us later on.
You know, we're gonna need to dig down sometimes and sometimes it's just we
have off nights, and hopefully these guys are ready to run like the show
today and two and who did awesome? I don't even know what to say
he did. He did really good play big rebound, scored and then Tyler
too man to see him play all three big men, I mean that was
awesome. The way he figured it out for today was a great a testament
to his coaching ability. Yeah, and and it was just it was great
to see the rotations and everything. I mean, the legs, the tired
legs in Pale and Harden showed up in the end. And what do you
expect two games in twenty two hours? Yeah, I mean we talk about
the miss threes, Well, what do you think that is? Fourteen or
forty seven tired legs. Why do you think Norton Powell was three or fourteen?
He just played. This is what happens. It's that an excuse,
it's an explanation. But you mentioned coach Lou getting this team ready despite not
having two to one three, I can't say enough two he is. Guys
play for him. He's not just I think the best in game strategist,
he's a player's coach. Let's hear from Coach Lou post game after the Clippers
fall one twenty four to one to seventeen at home to the Mockey Bucks in
the second or two games one day. It's on the minutes that you were
able to get from like bones and uh Brandon there. Yeah, I thought
they did a good job just their pace, their activity, playing hard,
scrapping and competing. I thought they did a really good job. You know,
all of our guys coming off the bench, you know, did a
really good job of just you know, being in a fight, you know,
scrapping and competing. And you'd love to see that, right, Well,
you don't have Kawhi and PG and they have Dame and John is paying
like that? How difficult is that? For your team to overcome. No,
those two guys, I mean, they're great players, and you know
we understand that. And you know they had they had a good game.
You know, I thought Dame said the tone early, you know, scoring
the basketball a couple of threes, and then took over the game late.
And so you know, once he got going, it's hard to stop him.
We try to blitz, we try to fire, tried do some different
things, but he had to go in to make some big shots. And
coach, you took bones out with about seven minutes left, didn't come back
with him till late. Was there a specific reason why you didn't come back
with him in that seven minute stretch when he was playing so well? Hit
a big shot, put you guys up to Yeah. I brought James in,
okay, and what's that? James? Okay? And we were small
on the floor, so I had to get bigger. Yeah, I'm curious
too. He played well, okay, and as and as far as the
Dame, the Dame, the Giannis pick and roll when he when he's hitting
shots like that, he had sixteen of his thirty five in the fourth.
What what what went into that? You wanted? Where you're trying to blitz
him when he came off, because it seemed like he came off it was
nobody in front of him. Yeah, we wanted to blitz, and then
they had the moving into the action, which was kind of hard for you
to, you know, try to get to him. But we try to
blitz, we try to be able to touch, and they beat us with
both coverages. So they played well. Yes, they did. Johannist and
Dame first duo in NBA history to have twenty plus points and ten plus assists
in back to back games, both of them. Yeah, I don't think
you can critique coach lou for taking out Boldens Highland for James Harden James Harden
and also the size issue there. Quick time out we'll hear from Will Updyke.
After the Clippers lose one twenty four to one seventeen to the Bucks.
Steam did not give in, They did not quit, They did not lay
down missing their top two guys. The stay ready clips were there. The
identity that this team has had over the years is still there in being crystallized.
I'm hoping there's some good things that can still build off in this loss
moving forward. More Clippers sock next here on the Patriot AMLEMN fifty, the
LA Clippers continue their hunt for a Larryo. B. They still want to
get that Larryo B. Don't miss a moment all season longed. This is
the LA Clippers Audio Network. Clippers lose Game two of the doubleheader. They
fall against the Bucks one twenty four to one seventeen. Welcome back in the
Clippers stock. I'm out of Masland. We'll get back to your phone calls
here on the Patriot AM eleven fifty. But first, will Updyke obviously didn't
want to come on because you know, it wasn't a win. That's not
in his contract. So we have Chuck Mockler back with us second straight day.
Why not the Clippers had to play too. Now it's Chuck Mockler here,
Charles. Where you would all encourage by this loss, even by the
Clippers, considering the guys they were missing, considering the team they were playing
him second game in twenty two hours, I think, weirdly, the thing
I was most encouraged about was the fact that James Harden looked so good despite
playing so much basketball for the Clippers, just since he's been on the team,
right, so it's nice to see him still, you know, getting
downhill well and things like that, so he's in a good place. Norm
wasn't great from the outside, but we needed a big Norm game today and
we got his highest scoring output all year. So it's tough to be super
bummed on this one, but it's also tough to be encouraged as a whole,
just because we were missing so many key guys and Zoo Guy got into
foul trouble early, which I think really you know, stifled on what was
going to be an even better game from him. Yeah, that was frustrating.
All of a sudden in the third quarter they decided to call it very
tight, and I Vitza Zubas picked up two fouls right away. At least
one of them I thought was pretty weak. He played twenty six minutes,
had eight ten points, six boards, and assists. What I will say
about Zoo though, is and what I've been saying is they kind of needed
that refresher course on maybe who eats Zubats is because he's really good on offense.
Now, he's much better than he's ever been, partly because of James
Harden, and they need to go to him regardless of if Kawhi and Paul
George are there or not. This is how you can open up a different
dimension to your offense, which is what we were seeing in December and January.
Know, yeah, I totally agree about the offense and the defense late
in games too. Right, Obviously this game is an exception, but there
were times when ty Lou was actually going with z to close games, so
the Clippers were able to close the size and you know, limit some of
the opportunities we've seen teams get against some Layton game. But I thought Zoo
looked great. This felt like kind of the last tune up game for him,
you know, since he's been back with the illness. Hopefully this this
gets the leash a little longer on him from ty. But yeah, that
that push shot from a couple of feet further out than it was last year
has been great. And yeah, you know, credit to James Harden,
but he's putting the work as well too. Yeah. James Harden with thirty
six minutes after playing thirty four minutes earlier in the game. Day PJ.
Tucker played twenty six minutes, and after taking just three shots in about one
hundred minutes of play, he got up nine in twenty six minutes, had
seven points, just one of six from the outside. He was at least
taking them. But I will say this, even though he struggled shooting wise,
overall he had four offensive rebounds. He had six boards. I don't
know. I know he's taken a lot of incoming this season, and some
of it he put on himself with some of the stuff he said on Instagram
and to the media and not taking a shot when they needed him to the
last time we saw him. But I like what we saw from PJ.
Tucker. I still think there's utility there anything to like from PJ Tucker in
this performance. Also Charles, it really was the willingness to shoot right.
If PJ. Tucker is going to be in a position to succeed, which
is going to be him with four other shooters around him, you know,
serving as that center, he does have to at least get the shot off
right. It's nice to see him do it in a game that's very difficult
from the Clippers, you know who's available wise, but it would be great
to see him do it. You know, if he gets another opportunity when
that you know he's in maybe his best position to succeed for a lineup that
could maybe see some playoff minutes. But the rebounding was great. There was
some solid defense. But who knows what's gonna happen with this rotation as we
go forward. But yeah, there was some encouraging things from PJ. He
did not get ten points, so we don't we're not doing a YouTube live.
Little unfortunate, but maybe next time, I guess, I don't know,
we'll see. They're taking on Minnesota on Tuesday night, another big team,
but without Karl Anthony towns Now obviously and going to the small sponnes Highland
was awesome. It wasn't just one side of his offense this time. You
know, a couple of games ago against Houston, he was getting to the
basket and getting layups, but no threes. Last game out it was all
threes. This time he was able to mix up and show the versatility in
his offensive attack. I love what we saw from Bones Island. Yeah,
he's another guy who's kind of ramping up. Right. Dus feels fully ramped
up from the illness bone tailand is continuing to get even better as he gets
more opportunities since the Russell Westbrook injury and defense. He's looked passable, which
is all he has to look on defense, right, we know the offense
is going to be there. The passing has been you know, I think
kind of a surprise or maybe just you know, it looks so different because
he's so young and twitchy. But the defense has also been perfectly acceptable.
He's been trying, he's been in the right spots. Really help this trajectory
keeps up for Bones because it might help the Clippers next year. You know,
we don't know what's going to happen fully with with that part of the
roster, but yeah, all credit to Bones and we hope nothing but more
good things for the skeleton key. He is Chuck Mockler like the Clippers,
with guys stepping up and filling in admirably. No will Updyke because the Clippers
didn't win this one unfortunately, and I lost one twenty four to one seventeen
to Milwaukee in the second of playing two like Ernie Banks within twenty four hours.
Charles, thanks for doing this a little Clips and double dip a quick
one here on Clippers top my friend, Hey, thanks for having me looking
forward to tomorrow. Clippers take it on Minnesota on Tuesday. We'll have a
YouTube for you tomorrow. Clippers lose by seven. They fought, they gave
everything they had. Guys raised their level of play, played above their heads
in some areas, just came up a little bit short late. More on
that, plus we'll previous Tuesday and get back to your phone calls here on
the Patriot, m eleven fifty every Clipper game all season long. They didn't
stop playing hard. You're listening to the LA Clippers Audio Network streaming on the
iHeartRadio WIP. Clippers did not get out worked, maybe out talented, missing
them big two in the two pin to three connection. No Kawhi, no
Paul George. We understand why. Second game in twenty two hours they lose
to Milwaukee one twenty four to one seventeen. Welcome back in This is Clippers
talk. I'm in a Moslim before we get out of here. On the
Patriot, have eleven fifty because when the Dodgers are on in five seventy,
this is where we will be the key. Morris Lobbach, you're on Clippers
stopt for out of Maza. What's up? The Clippers have hot miles and
miles and miles of harm. Win the Clippers down, and you don't think
to go to win. That's when Nick Riens should start. That's right,
man, These boys got some heart. Wasn't an All star on the team
and they took on two all stars. You talk about Davia Libert Litter was
hitting jump shots from half court. Let me tell you something. The Clippers
is gonna win it this year. Something you said you stole my thunder.
I was gonna say yesterday, you must have pick and roll you talked about.
Nobody ran that pick and roll like John Stockton and Karl Malone, and
they had it going on and nobody could stop it. Well, almost one
championship one time until they got against Chicago, and Chicago figured out how to
stop it. But nobody in the Western Conference could figure out how to stop
that pick and roll. Harden is a pinpoint passer. Luba might need to
give him a year toes that boy is tough on the pick and roll.
When they get into the playoffs, they go flow the game down. We've
got wing players and that pick row. I'm not worried about nothing. If
the Clippers go fourteen and four the rest of the year, we're gonna win
the division. We ain't trying to be the first four seeds. We want
to be the top seed because we get into the playoffs. You need that
home court advantage at them because things get tight. So let me let you
get into the call. Man. But I'm power of these guys, But
I really I'm coul all right, Morris, I appreciate the phone call.
I don't know if that would be enough to get the number one seed.
Honestly, they're three games back of the OKC Thunder right now, they are
two and a half games back of Denver and Minnesota. They're taking on Minnesota
Tuesday night. Just a very consequential game for standings. Watch the Clippers need
that one because it we give them a tie two games a piece against Minnesota
in the regular season series. Then it would come down to I think divisional
record. I'm not sure if the Clippers win the division, they would end
up in the pack div getting booted over the top of Minnesota. Yeah,
it's a little bit convoluted. Okay, quickly, before we get out of
here, let's hear from producer Katie Newton in the bank. Let's get to
Katie's casual corner. Katie are you had all tired, beat up, worn
out, two games twenty two hours. We have so much cereals here.
What was your favorite cereal? That's like we the James Harden to broadcast putting
in Where Katie, my favorite cereal of the ones we had, the ones
we had? How many do we have? I think six? I'll go
with Reese's Puffs. Oh surprising. I know it's kind of like dessert for
breakfast, but it works for me. Peanut butter and chocolate is the best
combination since James Harden and a Viza Zubos and the pick and roll. Baby
Oh, I tied it all together. All right, thank you, Katie.
Before we get out of here, I do want to thank the Clippers
organization, Ralph Laller, Brian Seeman, no what ego, Carlo Jimenez on
the Call, the Call, the listeners, big brother Jake Warner until Tuesday
night, Clippers taking on the Timberwolves. Back at Crypto. I'm thatta Mansa
and we'll talkch to you then. So why he was doing his thing?
All they want to do is win in La Win. I thought they gave
everything they had. I'm very proud of them. This has been Clippers Talk,
