WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.199 --> 00:00:06.200 Time for a postgame. Look, it's your La Clippers. This is Clippers 2 00:00:06.320 --> 00:00:09.960 Locker Room, brought to you by Cedars Sinai, the official health partner of 3 00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:15.080 the La Clippers, and by Patschonga, official travel casino of the La Clippers. 4 00:00:15.359 --> 00:00:19.280 Breaking down today's action with the pre and post game voice. If you're 5 00:00:19.480 --> 00:00:24.800 La Clippers, they're locking in every game, every night. Adam Osland without 6 00:00:24.839 --> 00:00:29.519 PG thirteen without Kohi Leonard. It was a valiant effort from the Clippers, 7 00:00:29.519 --> 00:00:32.560 but they come up short against the Bucks one twenty four to one to seventeen 8 00:00:32.679 --> 00:00:38.119 in game two of having to play two games in twenty two hours. Welcome 9 00:00:38.159 --> 00:00:42.000 into your postgame show. I'm at a Oslin coming up on the Patriot A 10 00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:45.000 M. Eleven fifty. We'll have Clippers stock for you eight seven seven five 11 00:00:45.039 --> 00:00:48.600 to two zero eleven fifty eight seven seven five two zero eleven fifty. But 12 00:00:48.679 --> 00:00:52.240 first back out to your radio voice of the Clippers and Carlo Jimenez from Crypto. 13 00:00:53.159 --> 00:00:57.000 Well, I tip my cap to this Clippers team and the effort and 14 00:00:57.039 --> 00:01:00.759 the heart and the hustle we saw out there today. They didn't get out 15 00:01:00.759 --> 00:01:03.680 worked. They may have been out talented towards the end there with Dame Dallas 16 00:01:03.680 --> 00:01:07.879 showing up big late for the Bucks. But this Clippers team continue to compete. 17 00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:12.159 Carlo Yeah, I think there's just so many positives to take away from 18 00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:15.840 this effort, from this intensity, from the focus of this group today. 19 00:01:17.560 --> 00:01:21.239 I mean, they didn't turn the ball over much for maybe a couple late 20 00:01:21.319 --> 00:01:23.439 in that game, but really four in the second half, four in the 21 00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:26.719 first half, seventeen offensive rebounds was tied for the second most of this season. 22 00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:30.040 They beat the Bucks by eighteen on points in the paint. They got 23 00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:34.519 thirty assists, the first time they lose the game all year in which they 24 00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:38.760 get thirty assists. They were an eleven to zero prior the Clippers. You 25 00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:42.719 hate to dwindle it down to pure talent and that the Bucks made shots late. 26 00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:46.799 Got to give credit to the Bucks for getting downhill. They outshot the 27 00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:49.000 Clippers at the free throw line. They made twenty one free throws, the 28 00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:53.159 Clippers just nine free throws. But the Clippers missed some open looks. And 29 00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:56.480 if they shoot ten percent better like we know they do on the season, 30 00:01:56.519 --> 00:01:59.719 just twenty nine percent, today we might be talking about maybe the biggest win 31 00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:02.920 of the year. For the Clippers. Yeah, this Clippers team, the 32 00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:07.280 numbers progressing to the mean. It never came around from the outside. There 33 00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:10.039 were moments there where you thought they were going to heat up, but just 34 00:02:10.159 --> 00:02:15.439 fourteen of forty seven from three. They attempted forty seven three balls in this 35 00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:19.639 one. They were playing the analytics game. I thought there were some tremendous 36 00:02:19.639 --> 00:02:23.400 performances across the board, starting with the Visa Zubots. He got them off 37 00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:25.280 to the start. He had the first couple of buckets in the first half, 38 00:02:25.439 --> 00:02:28.719 first couple of buckets in the second half. Of the Clippers. The 39 00:02:28.759 --> 00:02:31.719 pick and roll was working with heat and James Harden, who played thirty six 40 00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:36.719 minutes in this game after playing thirty four today. Also, we're gonna call 41 00:02:36.759 --> 00:02:38.879 it it was the same day, same game day. At least James Harden 42 00:02:38.919 --> 00:02:42.960 and the Visa Zubots. You know, they've worked out some of the kinks 43 00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:46.240 of just the rust not having played with one another enough over the past month 44 00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:50.439 or so. With Big Zoo being out, that's an encouraging sign as well. 45 00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:53.680 Carlo. Yeah, one hundred percent agreed. Zubots was a well oiled 46 00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:58.599 machine today. Eighteen points six rebounds, nine to eleven, but even with 47 00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:01.000 him off the floor, the Clips did a fantastic job of staying in this 48 00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:05.120 game. I thought Brandon Boston was aggressive. It was good to see him 49 00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:08.240 get some run. A mere coffee, a big time bounced back performance. 50 00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:13.599 We've talked about the last two afternoons at him because the Clippers like the Chicago 51 00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:16.000 Cubs. You know that you can't play with the lights on in downtown Chicago. 52 00:03:16.039 --> 00:03:19.599 Oh wait, we play indoor sport. I don't know. I'm trying 53 00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:22.240 to figure out a reason why we play so many times in the middle of 54 00:03:22.280 --> 00:03:24.120 the day. But a mere coffee needed this kind of performance. He need 55 00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:28.520 a bounce back performance. He got it. Sixteen points, ten rebounds, 56 00:03:28.759 --> 00:03:31.520 a big time block. I thought Daniel Tyst defensively was really strong in this 57 00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:36.520 one on Giannis. Two blocks on him to go along with six rebounds. 58 00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:44.120 Clippers outshot the Bucks by seventeen and lost. That is tough. That is 59 00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:46.000 tough. I don't know how many teams at him have out shot an opponent 60 00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:50.560 by seventeen this season and have not won the game. When you see that 61 00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:53.840 number, you just think, man, the Clippers had this one. The 62 00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:58.520 shots just did not drop, and I think that's a fair way to chock 63 00:03:58.599 --> 00:04:00.800 this one up. I want to say the Clipper did it when they didn't 64 00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:04.560 have an offensive rebound against the Detroit Pistons, but it is a very rare 65 00:04:04.719 --> 00:04:09.599 occurrence here to your point, and the Clippers had seventeen offensive rebounds. I 66 00:04:09.639 --> 00:04:13.680 mean the hustle plays, the way they scrapped the hot start they got off 67 00:04:13.719 --> 00:04:16.040 to in the first quarter in a way we haven't seen from the Slippers team 68 00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:19.560 in a long time, winning that first quarter thirty three to twenty nine. 69 00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:23.639 They were coached up the right way, they had the right mindset. They 70 00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:27.319 did everything they could. They just ran out of talent late against the stack 71 00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:30.720 Milwaukee Bucks team. That let's face it, they were trying to get a 72 00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:33.680 victory after dropping their last couple, and especially the one against the Lakers with 73 00:04:33.720 --> 00:04:36.879 out Lebron James in that ballgame. They were a hell bent on trying to 74 00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:40.120 find a way to win this one. It was Dame Dollar who was too 75 00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:44.680 much for the Clippers late. The Bucks win one twenty four to one seventeen. 76 00:04:44.920 --> 00:04:49.160 They overcome a tremendous spirited effort by your Los Angeles Clippers in Game two 77 00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:56.399 of a two and twenty two hour stretch by the Clippers week dime. We'll 78 00:04:56.439 --> 00:04:59.000 never have to say it again, Carlo, We'll never have to say to 79 00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:02.800 So now you can break down the tent or whatever you and Big Bro had. 80 00:05:02.839 --> 00:05:06.079 I know the s'mores were firing last night. It was like the sandlot 81 00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:10.720 there at Crypto dot Com Arena. Because when you play two games that close 82 00:05:10.759 --> 00:05:13.480 together, why not just stay at the arena? Oh great, call my 83 00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:17.040 friends. We'll see you at Crypto Tuesday night. Don't bring a hat at 84 00:05:17.079 --> 00:05:24.240 them, see you Tuesday. Clippers fall on twenty four to one's seventeen to 85 00:05:24.279 --> 00:05:27.680 the Milwaukee Bucks. You're listening to your postgame show right here on the Los 86 00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:32.279 Angeles Clippers Audio Network. The LA Clippers continue their hunt for a Lariobe. 87 00:05:32.480 --> 00:05:35.959 They still want to get that Lario bat. Don't miss a moment all season 88 00:05:36.040 --> 00:05:42.120 long. This is the LA Clippers Audio Network. Clippers come up just short 89 00:05:42.399 --> 00:05:46.680 without Kawhi, without Paul George in game two and a twenty two hour two 90 00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:49.480 games stretch. They lose one twenty four to one to seventeen to the Milwaukee 91 00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:53.879 Bucks. From Crypto dot Com Arena. Welcome back into your postgame show. 92 00:05:53.920 --> 00:05:57.600 I'm at a Manslin, this is Clippers locker room coming up on the Patriot 93 00:05:57.639 --> 00:06:00.800 AM eleven fifty. We will have Clippers talk for you. When the Dodgers 94 00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:02.399 are on AM five to seventy. We will be on the Patriot AM eleven 95 00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:06.279 fifty moving forward. Eight seven seven five two zero eleven fifty eight seven seven 96 00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:12.319 five two zero eleven fifty is the phone number. Clippers end up losing by 97 00:06:12.439 --> 00:06:15.319 seven. It was much closer throughout in this one. They were up by 98 00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:19.480 three at the half. They led sixty two to fifty nine, but they 99 00:06:19.480 --> 00:06:23.560 were just six of twenty two from the outside. We were hoping that would 100 00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:28.879 eventually change. It never really did. But in that third quarter it was 101 00:06:28.920 --> 00:06:31.480 the Bucks starting to get things going. They got out in transition a little 102 00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:35.639 bit. They outscored the Clippers thirty two to twenty three in the third where 103 00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:40.199 the Clippers matched their turnover total from the first half, they only had four. 104 00:06:40.279 --> 00:06:44.120 They had four in the third quarter alone. The Bucks got too many 105 00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:46.959 easy ones there. Giannis aDNA Kupo started to get it going. Vitza Zubats 106 00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:50.600 got in a foul trouble early, picked up two fouls within the first minute 107 00:06:50.759 --> 00:06:56.120 or so of that third quarter. So the Clippers were down heading into the 108 00:06:56.160 --> 00:07:00.720 fourth by seven. They eventually lose by seven, but in that fourth quarter, 109 00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:05.720 another special performance by the King of the Fourth Norman Powell. Norman right 110 00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:12.079 angle twice right, puts it in norm all the way to the cup call 111 00:07:12.120 --> 00:07:18.079 layup the blocking fowl in the finish Norman Palace keeping a minute. He had 112 00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:24.560 eight of his season high twenty six points in the fourth quarter. The Clippers 113 00:07:24.600 --> 00:07:29.800 absolutely battled. We saw dunk from Brandon Boston over the top of Jannis and 114 00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:33.639 Kompo and Bobby Portis. I gave everything they had. They just didn't have 115 00:07:33.759 --> 00:07:40.000 their two best players in this one. Understandably, you played two games in 116 00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:43.839 twenty two hours, which goes against NBA policy, but I guess they don't 117 00:07:43.879 --> 00:07:46.399 care in this case, and the Clippers come up short. They lose one 118 00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:49.720 twenty four to one to seventeen to the Milwaukee Bucks. We'll take a quick 119 00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:53.959 time out well preview Tuesday's game. It's a big one Clippers taken on the 120 00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:57.759 Minnesota Timberwolves. Right back at Crypto. You're listening to the Los Angeles Clippers. 121 00:07:57.759 --> 00:08:03.399 Already a Network Clipper game. All season long, they didn't stop playing 122 00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:09.720 hard you're listening to the LA Clippers Audio Network streaming on the iHeartRadio Lab. 123 00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:15.439 Clippers lose one twenty four to one seventeen at home to the Milwaukee Bucks in 124 00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:20.480 game two at twenty two hour stretch where they played two ball games. Hasn't 125 00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:24.319 happened to anybody else, hasn't happened to anybody else. Won't happen to anybody 126 00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:28.560 else. Won't happen to the Clippers again once they're an into it Dome next 127 00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:31.159 season. They ended up being led by Norman Palo off the bench twenty six 128 00:08:31.240 --> 00:08:33.919 points and thirty one minutes, nine of twenty one, shooting just three or 129 00:08:33.960 --> 00:08:39.399 fourteen from the outside. Man who was putting them up needed to. If 130 00:08:39.399 --> 00:08:43.519 they had just gotten hot from the outside, they ended up just fourteen of 131 00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:48.000 forty seven. Could have been a little bit different. Bones higling off the 132 00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:50.159 bench with twelve points. My player to watch five of twelve, two three 133 00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:54.679 pointers made, got to the basket, knocked down some threes, exactly what 134 00:08:54.840 --> 00:09:00.080 I was looking for. Huge three pointer in the fourth let out that I 135 00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:05.600 will scream afterwards. Awesome to see great competitor. Daniel Ties a couple of 136 00:09:05.639 --> 00:09:11.320 blocks coming off the bench against Giannis Denikompo, Brandon Boston dunked on the Greek 137 00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:16.159 freak, got a technical afterwards. Come on, let him play. James 138 00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:22.240 Harden played thirty six minutes after we played thirty four minutes earlier. Today, 139 00:09:22.279 --> 00:09:26.679 you could say thirteen points eleven assists got them off to a quick start. 140 00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:30.960 The pick and roll with Big Zoo was working. He had eighteen and six 141 00:09:31.639 --> 00:09:35.480 Clippers overall out rebounded the Bucks fifty two to forty one. Played with a 142 00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:39.399 great spirit out there, competed hard. PJ. Tucker was a part of 143 00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:43.120 that. Three of nine, shooting just one three pointer, but he was 144 00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:48.480 taking them after attempting three shots, all three pointers in his last one hundred 145 00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:52.879 minutes. Today he gets up nine shots in twenty five minutes. Six of 146 00:09:52.919 --> 00:09:56.960 them were threes. He faced with seven points, but the offensive rebounds. 147 00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:01.720 Four of his six boards were offen the rebounds and mere coffee big time. 148 00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:07.120 Another great start from him. He went four of six from the outside sixteen 149 00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:09.480 points. Terrence Man had sixteen as well, two of six from three, 150 00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:13.039 but six of ten overall. Had his moments, especially in that third quarter. 151 00:10:13.639 --> 00:10:18.320 Fortunately Dame Dalla. He had fifteen points in the fourth. Big Three's 152 00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:22.320 got fouled on one of them. Jan Has had ten points in the fourth 153 00:10:22.399 --> 00:10:26.240 quarter and the Clippers lose one twenty four to one seventeen. The under man 154 00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:31.480 Clippers to the Milwaukee Bucks. Their next game is against the Minnesota Timberwolves. 155 00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:39.200 That'll be Tuesday night to finish off this three game homestand tip time from Cryptos 156 00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:43.440 at seven versus the Wolves.

This is where we will be. 172 00:11:58.360 --> 00:12:01.919 Eight seven seven five two zero eleven fifty is your new phone number? 173 00:12:01.919 --> 00:12:05.320 Eight seven to seven five two zero eleven fifties the phone number when we're on 174 00:12:05.320 --> 00:12:07.039 the Patriot AM eleven fifty. Coming up on the show. We'll hear from 175 00:12:07.039 --> 00:12:11.080 coach Lou postgame. Will Updyke even on a loss. I think he's coming 176 00:12:11.080 --> 00:12:16.960 on maybe some player Audio two. Couldn't be more proud of this team, 177 00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:22.840 couldn't be more frustrated with the NBA. I don't want to harp on it 178 00:12:22.879 --> 00:12:28.200 too much. I did enough of that yesterday, like not even yesterday today, 179 00:12:30.519 --> 00:12:37.240 two games within twenty two hours should never happen, not supposed to happen 180 00:12:37.879 --> 00:12:41.840 according to NBA protocols. I guess they just don't care. Get it in. 181 00:12:45.039 --> 00:12:50.559 They messed up the schedule. They didn't realize daylight savings spring forward, 182 00:12:50.360 --> 00:12:56.440 and they gave the Clippers two games to get ready for in twenty two hours. 183 00:12:56.919 --> 00:13:01.879 If you think it's not a big deal, go look at what teams 184 00:13:01.919 --> 00:13:09.080 records are on the second night of a back to back. Even the elite 185 00:13:09.120 --> 00:13:16.320 teams lose those games often. And now they have a game that's not even 186 00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:22.080 the next night, it's in the very same day. Kahi and Paul George 187 00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:28.879 don't play, shouldn't have to play. There are two injury prone stars that 188 00:13:28.919 --> 00:13:31.320 are already banged up. You're not gonna play them. If one of those 189 00:13:31.320 --> 00:13:39.399 guys gets hurt in this game disaster, you would have could attributed it to 190 00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:46.200 having to play yesterday, excessive wear and tear. No medical staff would let 191 00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:52.279 that happen, so they don't play. I totally understand why, and I 192 00:13:52.279 --> 00:13:58.000 don't blame the Clippers. I only wish that this game was on ABC so 193 00:13:58.080 --> 00:14:03.240 the NBA would really have to feel it, is this what you want? 194 00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:15.000 Games this close together? Of course teams are gonna rest guys then, makes 195 00:14:15.039 --> 00:14:18.799 no sense, nonsensical. It'll never happen again. They'll be an into it. 196 00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:24.519 Dome I don't think has happened before. I asked tomar Azzari pregame. 197 00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:30.320 He couldn't think of an instance, even with the Clippers, who have had 198 00:14:30.399 --> 00:14:37.840 these home back to back matinee games for years, but not one starting twenty 199 00:14:37.879 --> 00:14:45.399 two hours after the first one. Ridiculous. But I mentioned how impressed I 200 00:14:45.559 --> 00:14:48.759 was by this Clippers' effort, the heart, the hustle, the spirit they 201 00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:52.360 played with aside from the opening quarter, one of their best starts to a 202 00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:56.600 game in a while. They beat the Bucks with the starting lineup of PJ. 203 00:14:56.679 --> 00:14:58.799 Tucker beat to Zubats, James Harden, Terrence Man and mere Coffee thirty 204 00:14:58.840 --> 00:15:05.240 three to twenty nine. In that first quarter started hot, Big Zoo was 205 00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:09.919 cooking. If you wonder why I belabor the point of getting a beat to 206 00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:13.480 Zoo bots to the basketball and why you should be used more on offense, 207 00:15:13.960 --> 00:15:20.000 it's because of games like this. He has a weapon on offense. He's 208 00:15:20.039 --> 00:15:22.679 a whole nother element you can unlock to this offense, and it needs to 209 00:15:22.720 --> 00:15:28.320 be done. When you have James Harden running pick and roll, Big Zoo's 210 00:15:28.320 --> 00:15:33.240 the guy for that. So one of the things I'm encouraged by is Big 211 00:15:33.320 --> 00:15:39.480 Zoo got shots up. It's kind of a refresher course of Oh yeah, 212 00:15:39.519 --> 00:15:43.360 he's actually really good on offense too. Nine of eleven eighteen points was getting 213 00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:48.720 buckets on Giannis. Maybe feed him a little bit more even when the stars 214 00:15:48.720 --> 00:15:52.559 are back. He's more than capable. Clearly, he had a hook shot 215 00:15:52.600 --> 00:15:58.320 and then a push shot to start the game first four of the ball game, 216 00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:02.919 first four I think the second quarter two or in the second half, 217 00:16:04.559 --> 00:16:10.799 had a nice spinning shot around defenders, was working Brook, Lopez and Johnston 218 00:16:10.879 --> 00:16:14.879 and Kupo. The pick and roll with him and James Harden is elite. 219 00:16:15.519 --> 00:16:18.720 That is what the Clippers need to get back to and do more often, 220 00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:25.399 much more often. I've been saying this for weeks when you have teams coming 221 00:16:25.399 --> 00:16:27.559 back on you Layton ball games. And granted the vitz Zubas hasn't looked right 222 00:16:29.399 --> 00:16:33.480 coming back with the calf injury, then the illness, had a headache against 223 00:16:33.559 --> 00:16:37.519 Houston in that game. Plumbley came in, gave him great second half that 224 00:16:37.679 --> 00:16:41.720 game, some solid miss in this one, also in the third. But 225 00:16:44.399 --> 00:16:48.279 if you don't want to see ISO ball down the stretch of games, run 226 00:16:48.360 --> 00:16:51.960 high pick and roll with one of the most devastating pick and roll players since 227 00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:56.879 John Stockton in James Harden him in a big zoo working in tandem. That's 228 00:16:56.919 --> 00:17:00.799 it. That's the solution. That's how you have a system and something to 229 00:17:00.840 --> 00:17:04.880 fall back on when shots aren't falling. Let's say it again. Coach lu 230 00:17:04.960 --> 00:17:07.680 brought this up early on when they brought in James Harden. You run picking 231 00:17:07.759 --> 00:17:11.960 roll sixty times, they're probably getting fifty five good shots out of it, 232 00:17:11.000 --> 00:17:18.319 So run it period. Last few games they have been Clippers have benefited greatly 233 00:17:18.319 --> 00:17:23.960 from that, Thank goodness. Thirteen points and eleven assists from James, but 234 00:17:25.119 --> 00:17:27.440 just five of sixteen from the field, one of six from three. Fatigue 235 00:17:27.480 --> 00:17:33.960 may have contributed to that. You think he played thirty four minutes earlier in 236 00:17:33.960 --> 00:17:42.799 the day in their win over the Bulls. Terrence Man had sixteen I thought 237 00:17:42.880 --> 00:17:49.000 really gave him a boost. He had a bucket out of a time out. 238 00:17:51.039 --> 00:17:56.319 It was in the third quarter, a layup that was the first field 239 00:17:56.319 --> 00:18:00.039 goal. I think in the third off a nice pass from Pump Plumble. 240 00:18:00.160 --> 00:18:03.559 Because if each Zubas picked up a couple of fouls, all of a sudden, 241 00:18:03.559 --> 00:18:07.559 they were calling it tight. Because Bobby Porters Junior was trying to rip 242 00:18:07.599 --> 00:18:11.599 the ball from James Harden. I think it was near the end of the 243 00:18:11.599 --> 00:18:12.720 first half. There was a little bit of chirping, a little bit of 244 00:18:12.720 --> 00:18:18.640 talking. Clippers were up by three twenty four minutes in. The Bucks are 245 00:18:18.640 --> 00:18:23.799 trying to find themselves under Doc Rivers. I think a couple games over five 246 00:18:23.880 --> 00:18:27.720 hundred at most since he came into the fold. Their defense has been better. 247 00:18:27.799 --> 00:18:33.440 But they lost the game to the Lakers that really they shouldn't have lost 248 00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:36.359 because Lebron James wasn't playing on Friday night. You knew they were going to 249 00:18:36.400 --> 00:18:40.480 be at their best. I posted at follow out of May right afterwards. 250 00:18:40.519 --> 00:18:44.079 Great, now the Bucks are gonna be angry. You know who was especially 251 00:18:44.359 --> 00:18:48.799 angry Damian Lillard, who's defense in some ways costed to them the game. 252 00:18:48.839 --> 00:18:52.160 I'm not sure why he's out there defensively for plays like that, and you 253 00:18:52.200 --> 00:18:55.440 don't have to leave him out there late. And they had the lead, 254 00:18:55.519 --> 00:19:00.359 and then Dangelo Russell was cooking, but he had fifteen of his third five 255 00:19:00.400 --> 00:19:07.359 points in the fourth quarter of this one and was getting loose, was getting 256 00:19:07.359 --> 00:19:10.359 three pointers. The Clippers did what they could, tried to defend it a 257 00:19:10.400 --> 00:19:14.480 little bit too aggressive on one of them by a mere coffee. He fouled. 258 00:19:14.519 --> 00:19:17.759 Dame went to the free throw line, hit all three of them. 259 00:19:17.759 --> 00:19:23.000 Make it sixteen points in that fourth quarter from Dame. Actually Jansta Dena Koupo 260 00:19:23.079 --> 00:19:30.880 in the fourth he ended up with nine. It was good. He had 261 00:19:30.880 --> 00:19:36.039 a nice hook shot over Zoo, a jumper over him, obviously part of 262 00:19:36.079 --> 00:19:42.640 his game he's been working on. But the Clippers are right there phones highland 263 00:19:44.519 --> 00:19:52.039 energy. Plays two three pointers, twelve points, five of twelve shooting, 264 00:19:52.039 --> 00:19:56.240 got to the basket, five assists, zero turnovers. Let out that scream 265 00:19:56.359 --> 00:19:59.799 during that run after a big three pointer off a nice feed from James Harden. 266 00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:03.160 It was hot, get it chilling. Just the Clippers overall couldn't shoot 267 00:20:03.160 --> 00:20:08.000 from the outside fourteen of forty seven, that's thirty percent. That was their 268 00:20:08.000 --> 00:20:11.200 path to winning the game, knocking down a few more threes that typically they 269 00:20:11.279 --> 00:20:17.279 do, but they haven't been making them, strangely enough over the last fourteen 270 00:20:17.319 --> 00:20:22.640 games where they're seven and seven post Grammy road trip. More on that coming 271 00:20:22.720 --> 00:20:23.880 up. While we have a moment, though, let's pause ten seconds for 272 00:20:23.920 --> 00:20:30.880 station identification here on the Patriot AM eleven fifty. This is LA Clippers basketball 273 00:20:30.039 --> 00:20:38.400 AM eleven fifty k EiV, Los Angeles about an iHeartRadio station, proud of 274 00:20:38.400 --> 00:20:42.440 the Clippers, encouraged by some things, but ultimately a loss, a game 275 00:20:42.480 --> 00:20:47.319 that shouldn't even have been played at that time. Let's start things off with 276 00:20:48.440 --> 00:20:51.160 I know what Shawn and Inglewood back to back days. He calls in, 277 00:20:51.200 --> 00:20:56.319 Sean, what's up, hey, my man? A couple of things I 278 00:20:56.400 --> 00:20:59.759 want to talk about. First. I want to back you up with everything 279 00:21:00.039 --> 00:21:03.440 said about the scheduling. The one thing I had just had a thought while 280 00:21:03.480 --> 00:21:07.519 you were talking. And I don't want to harp on this too much, 281 00:21:07.599 --> 00:21:12.079 but when they do get the new stadium, there's going to still be teams 282 00:21:12.079 --> 00:21:17.160 from the East Coast coming out to play, maybe two or three teams on 283 00:21:17.160 --> 00:21:21.240 the West coast, And while they're in LA, they're probably going to give 284 00:21:21.279 --> 00:21:26.359 the Lakers first choice and then go Clippers, we want you to do it 285 00:21:26.559 --> 00:21:29.839 at this time, this day, but at least now that they have their 286 00:21:29.880 --> 00:21:33.599 own stadium, maybe the Clippers that have some right or refusal because while they 287 00:21:33.599 --> 00:21:37.960 were in crypto or whether they're now in crypto, they really have to just 288 00:21:38.000 --> 00:21:41.400 take what they can get. I don't know, why in that situation the 289 00:21:41.440 --> 00:21:45.920 Lakers would have any more priority than the Clippers when the Clippers at that point 290 00:21:45.960 --> 00:21:49.599 would have their own arena and the Lakers are still behind the LA Kinks, 291 00:21:49.799 --> 00:21:55.079 who have priority. So the Lakers will still be the glamour team for the 292 00:21:55.200 --> 00:21:57.759 NBA. That's why I'm just not the harp on that. But I don't 293 00:21:57.759 --> 00:22:02.960 think that's right. I don't think that's something you can put in writing, 294 00:22:03.000 --> 00:22:07.240 is my point. I'm not saying it won't happen, but the Clippers could 295 00:22:07.279 --> 00:22:11.200 certainly protest that. Then it's like, well, wait a second, we 296 00:22:11.279 --> 00:22:15.480 built our own arena. We're number on one priority there. The Lakers are 297 00:22:15.599 --> 00:22:18.759 second fiddle to the LA Kings. I don't know why you would give the 298 00:22:18.839 --> 00:22:22.759 nod to the Lakers. I'm sure it will happen sometimes, but I'm I'm 299 00:22:22.799 --> 00:22:30.720 already bothered by it. Apparently, HAROLDE. Yeah, they'll have more leverage 300 00:22:30.759 --> 00:22:33.599 this time. So it's one of the things I want to talk about. 301 00:22:33.680 --> 00:22:38.200 That second most thing I want to talk about that you see the defense up 302 00:22:38.279 --> 00:22:44.319 face to face on Damian Levary by Brandon Boston. I know the kid has 303 00:22:44.400 --> 00:22:48.559 offense and I want him to get more minutes but I think he even blocked 304 00:22:48.599 --> 00:22:52.720 one of Liward's shot and another time Lilyard just gave up the bowl and he 305 00:22:52.839 --> 00:22:56.920 saw Brandon off. So he's quick enough and long enough to give Lillard some 306 00:22:57.039 --> 00:23:02.119 problems that Lillard recognized that. I don't know if he saw that move game 307 00:23:02.200 --> 00:23:07.039 within the game, Brandon Boston slowly but surely's been putting on weight. You 308 00:23:07.119 --> 00:23:12.079 can see that with him his defense. It's it's not that the effort wasn't 309 00:23:12.119 --> 00:23:17.359 there before, he was just so slight a frame. But I agree with 310 00:23:17.440 --> 00:23:22.160 you, he had some very good possessions against Dame Dolla overall all right, 311 00:23:22.480 --> 00:23:27.440 And just the third thing, which I always say, at some point it 312 00:23:27.559 --> 00:23:33.359 might be a good idea to try Plumbe and Zoo in the line up at 313 00:23:33.400 --> 00:23:36.880 the same time. And if Ty didn't do it in this game, he 314 00:23:37.119 --> 00:23:42.000 never will because let's face that Plumbly played well, Zu played amazing. The 315 00:23:42.119 --> 00:23:45.720 last two games that you played was the best two games I've seen him play 316 00:23:45.880 --> 00:23:49.799 in a row. Ever, So, Sean, how's that spacing gonna look 317 00:23:49.839 --> 00:24:00.279 on offense? I don't care about spacing that thir If you don't care about 318 00:24:00.319 --> 00:24:04.359 spacing, you don't care about winning either. Sean, that's the point there. 319 00:24:04.920 --> 00:24:08.359 If you don't care about spacing, you don't care about winning. Sorry, 320 00:24:08.599 --> 00:24:11.680 I don't care about for three or four minutes. Come on, you 321 00:24:11.799 --> 00:24:17.720 could. You can get cooked in three or four minutes. In this league, 322 00:24:17.799 --> 00:24:21.920 you can easily lose a ball game. It is that easy. It 323 00:24:22.000 --> 00:24:25.839 happens all the time. You put out a bad lineup and you aren't good 324 00:24:25.880 --> 00:24:29.960 for three or four minutes, the game can be over that quickly. We 325 00:24:30.200 --> 00:24:36.160 saw that, We saw it against so they should throw the game, is 326 00:24:36.240 --> 00:24:40.440 what you're saying, Sean. Let me explain something to you. We just 327 00:24:40.559 --> 00:24:44.599 saw it last time out against the Bucks. Early in the fourth quarter. 328 00:24:45.160 --> 00:24:49.640 They had a lineup out there with three non shooters and they got outscored by 329 00:24:49.799 --> 00:24:56.880 twelve points in less than three minutes. That's that was, excuse me. 330 00:24:56.920 --> 00:25:00.200 Against the Lakers, that's how they lost that game. When they were up 331 00:25:00.240 --> 00:25:03.920 by twenty one, they had a lineup out there with three non shooters and 332 00:25:03.000 --> 00:25:11.079 they got outscored by twelve points in three minutes. So I'm giving you an 333 00:25:11.119 --> 00:25:18.480 actual example of what I'm talking about. It recently just happened. It's playing 334 00:25:18.839 --> 00:25:22.680 and the Clippers tried to match up with that and they got destroyed. Sean, 335 00:25:22.880 --> 00:25:26.920 they got destroyed. So I appreciate the phone call, but that's what 336 00:25:27.079 --> 00:25:30.759 happened. We got to take a quick time out. Clippers lose one twenty 337 00:25:30.799 --> 00:25:38.799 four yeah to the Wonkee Bucks at Crypto. Second game up two, Let's 338 00:25:38.839 --> 00:25:44.920 play two, says the NBA. NBA cares. Let's say, don't two 339 00:25:45.000 --> 00:25:48.720 games and twenty two hours more. Clippers sock next year on the Patriot AMUL 340 00:25:48.920 --> 00:25:56.200 fifteen loading Clippers fully loaded with Clippers fans. This is LA Clippers basketball. 341 00:25:56.559 --> 00:26:02.079 You're listening to the La Clippers on the LA Clippers Audio Network. Clippers split 342 00:26:03.759 --> 00:26:10.119 the two games in one day schedule by the NBA. They lose one twenty 343 00:26:10.119 --> 00:26:15.480 four to one seventeen in game two after winning over the Bulls earlier in the 344 00:26:15.559 --> 00:26:18.440 game day. Welcome back into Clippers stock. I'm out of moslind eight seven 345 00:26:18.519 --> 00:26:22.640 seven five to zero. Eleven fifty is the phone number. Love how this 346 00:26:22.720 --> 00:26:27.759 Clippers team played. They went hard, they gave everything they had. You 347 00:26:27.839 --> 00:26:33.000 saw guys like PJ. Tucker getting run, Brandon Boston Junior. They used 348 00:26:33.519 --> 00:26:38.640 Zoo Plumb and Daniel Tice as I thought they would because they're going up against 349 00:26:38.680 --> 00:26:45.240 the autis Dennekompo, and they pushed the Bucks to the brink, but Damian 350 00:26:45.279 --> 00:26:48.559 Lillward was too good late, big three pointers down the stretch. Clippers fall 351 00:26:48.799 --> 00:26:52.079 by seven. Harold and North Hollywood. Harold, what's up here on Clipper 352 00:26:52.119 --> 00:26:56.519 stock with out of Mauzon? You went to Harold? Yes something, Yeah, 353 00:26:56.799 --> 00:27:00.000 Adam? Who dug out for the fans? I mean they come to 354 00:27:00.039 --> 00:27:03.440 see a game. Who's looking out for the player's health, Harold, who's 355 00:27:03.480 --> 00:27:07.920 looking out for the player's health. Who's looking out for the player's health, 356 00:27:07.000 --> 00:27:11.480 Harold? Two games in twenty two hours, Harold, Harold, give me 357 00:27:11.559 --> 00:27:15.319 one example of a team playing two games in twenty two hours. If you 358 00:27:15.400 --> 00:27:18.039 can, I'll keep you on. Oh you don't have one. Oh you 359 00:27:18.119 --> 00:27:22.160 don't have one, Harold. Why don't they play two games in twenty two 360 00:27:22.240 --> 00:27:27.319 hours? Why don't other teams play that? Why? Okay, Adam? 361 00:27:27.400 --> 00:27:32.240 My point is these people are paying top dollar to see the games, and 362 00:27:32.359 --> 00:27:34.519 now you're coming out with the weather twenty two hours. Blah blah blah. 363 00:27:34.920 --> 00:27:42.279 It's against the NBA's own protocol for a reason, Harold, And yet they 364 00:27:42.400 --> 00:27:48.039 let it happen, Harold, are what are teams wreckers on the second hand 365 00:27:48.079 --> 00:27:51.119 of back to back? Are they good, Adam or are they bad? 366 00:27:51.599 --> 00:27:55.160 Are those games easier or are those games harder? All right, I appreciate 367 00:27:55.200 --> 00:27:59.119 the phone call. I tried give me an example. So we move on, 368 00:27:59.359 --> 00:28:03.440 We move Jose and Downey Jose. What's up here on Clipperstock Well about 369 00:28:03.480 --> 00:28:06.839 him? Yeah, totally agree with you, man. As much as I 370 00:28:07.039 --> 00:28:10.200 like to, I want these guys to play tonight, today was not a 371 00:28:10.279 --> 00:28:14.480 day for them to play. If Kohire, Paul George get hurt because you're 372 00:28:14.559 --> 00:28:18.680 pushing a game in the regular season, you're pushing them to play two games 373 00:28:18.720 --> 00:28:23.599 in twenty two hours. I mean people would be getting let go. That 374 00:28:23.640 --> 00:28:27.920 would be gross negligence. That's what that would be. They're both injury prone 375 00:28:29.000 --> 00:28:32.319 and they're both already banged up. What do you want, right? So 376 00:28:32.480 --> 00:28:37.039 how about not taking them play two games in one day? NBA? That 377 00:28:37.279 --> 00:28:41.480 is the solution, that is it? Yeah? Exactly agree man, I 378 00:28:41.880 --> 00:28:45.720 I it's a good call by the staff. You don't let him play. 379 00:28:45.880 --> 00:28:49.119 This is the healthiest we've ever had them in the five years, and I 380 00:28:49.200 --> 00:28:52.920 want to see what happens in the end. So no, it's the right 381 00:28:52.000 --> 00:28:56.519 call. In terms of the game, love the energy, like you said, 382 00:28:56.640 --> 00:29:00.480 love all the energy. You see good stuff there obviously would a hold 383 00:29:00.519 --> 00:29:03.039 for the win, but you know it didn't go that way. But there 384 00:29:03.119 --> 00:29:06.240 was a lot of positive to build up of. I'm glad that a lot 385 00:29:06.240 --> 00:29:08.359 of the younger guys got running time, building confidence, even in PJ. 386 00:29:08.480 --> 00:29:14.519 Tucker Bones. And hopefully it comes it comes big for us later on. 387 00:29:15.359 --> 00:29:18.759 You know, we're gonna need to dig down sometimes and sometimes it's just we 388 00:29:18.839 --> 00:29:22.559 have off nights, and hopefully these guys are ready to run like the show 389 00:29:22.640 --> 00:29:26.960 today and two and who did awesome? I don't even know what to say 390 00:29:27.039 --> 00:29:33.240 he did. He did really good play big rebound, scored and then Tyler 391 00:29:33.400 --> 00:29:37.960 too man to see him play all three big men, I mean that was 392 00:29:37.000 --> 00:29:42.079 awesome. The way he figured it out for today was a great a testament 393 00:29:42.160 --> 00:29:47.880 to his coaching ability. Yeah, and and it was just it was great 394 00:29:47.960 --> 00:29:51.759 to see the rotations and everything. I mean, the legs, the tired 395 00:29:51.839 --> 00:29:55.160 legs in Pale and Harden showed up in the end. And what do you 396 00:29:55.240 --> 00:29:59.400 expect two games in twenty two hours? Yeah, I mean we talk about 397 00:30:00.279 --> 00:30:03.519 the miss threes, Well, what do you think that is? Fourteen or 398 00:30:03.559 --> 00:30:07.240 forty seven tired legs. Why do you think Norton Powell was three or fourteen? 399 00:30:07.960 --> 00:30:14.039 He just played. This is what happens. It's that an excuse, 400 00:30:14.680 --> 00:30:19.720 it's an explanation. But you mentioned coach Lou getting this team ready despite not 401 00:30:19.839 --> 00:30:26.359 having two to one three, I can't say enough two he is. Guys 402 00:30:26.440 --> 00:30:30.400 play for him. He's not just I think the best in game strategist, 403 00:30:30.079 --> 00:30:33.480 he's a player's coach. Let's hear from Coach Lou post game after the Clippers 404 00:30:33.519 --> 00:30:37.079 fall one twenty four to one to seventeen at home to the Mockey Bucks in 405 00:30:37.400 --> 00:30:41.039 the second or two games one day. It's on the minutes that you were 406 00:30:41.039 --> 00:30:45.279 able to get from like bones and uh Brandon there. Yeah, I thought 407 00:30:45.279 --> 00:30:48.039 they did a good job just their pace, their activity, playing hard, 408 00:30:48.119 --> 00:30:51.920 scrapping and competing. I thought they did a really good job. You know, 409 00:30:51.960 --> 00:30:52.839 all of our guys coming off the bench, you know, did a 410 00:30:52.920 --> 00:30:56.160 really good job of just you know, being in a fight, you know, 411 00:30:56.279 --> 00:31:00.599 scrapping and competing. And you'd love to see that, right, Well, 412 00:31:00.640 --> 00:31:06.279 you don't have Kawhi and PG and they have Dame and John is paying 413 00:31:06.359 --> 00:31:11.359 like that? How difficult is that? For your team to overcome. No, 414 00:31:11.480 --> 00:31:12.440 those two guys, I mean, they're great players, and you know 415 00:31:12.519 --> 00:31:17.519 we understand that. And you know they had they had a good game. 416 00:31:17.640 --> 00:31:19.839 You know, I thought Dame said the tone early, you know, scoring 417 00:31:19.920 --> 00:31:23.000 the basketball a couple of threes, and then took over the game late. 418 00:31:23.200 --> 00:31:26.519 And so you know, once he got going, it's hard to stop him. 419 00:31:26.519 --> 00:31:29.559 We try to blitz, we try to fire, tried do some different 420 00:31:29.599 --> 00:31:33.519 things, but he had to go in to make some big shots. And 421 00:31:33.640 --> 00:31:36.640 coach, you took bones out with about seven minutes left, didn't come back 422 00:31:36.640 --> 00:31:38.839 with him till late. Was there a specific reason why you didn't come back 423 00:31:38.880 --> 00:31:41.279 with him in that seven minute stretch when he was playing so well? Hit 424 00:31:41.319 --> 00:31:44.799 a big shot, put you guys up to Yeah. I brought James in, 425 00:31:45.400 --> 00:31:49.079 okay, and what's that? James? Okay? And we were small 426 00:31:49.119 --> 00:31:52.440 on the floor, so I had to get bigger. Yeah, I'm curious 427 00:31:52.440 --> 00:31:56.599 too. He played well, okay, and as and as far as the 428 00:31:56.799 --> 00:32:00.200 Dame, the Dame, the Giannis pick and roll when he when he's hitting 429 00:32:00.200 --> 00:32:02.960 shots like that, he had sixteen of his thirty five in the fourth. 430 00:32:04.640 --> 00:32:07.440 What what what went into that? You wanted? Where you're trying to blitz 431 00:32:07.519 --> 00:32:08.200 him when he came off, because it seemed like he came off it was 432 00:32:08.240 --> 00:32:10.319 nobody in front of him. Yeah, we wanted to blitz, and then 433 00:32:10.359 --> 00:32:14.079 they had the moving into the action, which was kind of hard for you 434 00:32:14.240 --> 00:32:15.720 to, you know, try to get to him. But we try to 435 00:32:15.759 --> 00:32:20.640 blitz, we try to be able to touch, and they beat us with 436 00:32:20.720 --> 00:32:24.160 both coverages. So they played well. Yes, they did. Johannist and 437 00:32:24.240 --> 00:32:30.000 Dame first duo in NBA history to have twenty plus points and ten plus assists 438 00:32:30.519 --> 00:32:34.759 in back to back games, both of them. Yeah, I don't think 439 00:32:34.799 --> 00:32:42.000 you can critique coach lou for taking out Boldens Highland for James Harden James Harden 440 00:32:42.079 --> 00:32:45.960 and also the size issue there. Quick time out we'll hear from Will Updyke. 441 00:32:46.039 --> 00:32:51.240 After the Clippers lose one twenty four to one seventeen to the Bucks. 442 00:32:52.319 --> 00:32:55.599 Steam did not give in, They did not quit, They did not lay 443 00:32:55.680 --> 00:33:01.759 down missing their top two guys. The stay ready clips were there. The 444 00:33:01.920 --> 00:33:08.000 identity that this team has had over the years is still there in being crystallized. 445 00:33:10.480 --> 00:33:14.359 I'm hoping there's some good things that can still build off in this loss 446 00:33:14.440 --> 00:33:17.880 moving forward. More Clippers sock next here on the Patriot AMLEMN fifty, the 447 00:33:19.160 --> 00:33:22.000 LA Clippers continue their hunt for a Larryo. B. They still want to 448 00:33:22.039 --> 00:33:25.880 get that Larryo B. Don't miss a moment all season longed. This is 449 00:33:25.960 --> 00:33:31.160 the LA Clippers Audio Network. Clippers lose Game two of the doubleheader. They 450 00:33:31.279 --> 00:33:36.680 fall against the Bucks one twenty four to one seventeen. Welcome back in the 451 00:33:36.720 --> 00:33:39.359 Clippers stock. I'm out of Masland. We'll get back to your phone calls 452 00:33:40.359 --> 00:33:45.480 here on the Patriot AM eleven fifty. But first, will Updyke obviously didn't 453 00:33:45.480 --> 00:33:47.920 want to come on because you know, it wasn't a win. That's not 454 00:33:49.119 --> 00:33:52.519 in his contract. So we have Chuck Mockler back with us second straight day. 455 00:33:52.640 --> 00:33:57.000 Why not the Clippers had to play too. Now it's Chuck Mockler here, 456 00:33:57.160 --> 00:34:00.799 Charles. Where you would all encourage by this loss, even by the 457 00:34:00.839 --> 00:34:05.359 Clippers, considering the guys they were missing, considering the team they were playing 458 00:34:05.599 --> 00:34:09.480 him second game in twenty two hours, I think, weirdly, the thing 459 00:34:09.519 --> 00:34:14.519 I was most encouraged about was the fact that James Harden looked so good despite 460 00:34:14.599 --> 00:34:17.639 playing so much basketball for the Clippers, just since he's been on the team, 461 00:34:17.760 --> 00:34:21.920 right, so it's nice to see him still, you know, getting 462 00:34:21.960 --> 00:34:25.400 downhill well and things like that, so he's in a good place. Norm 463 00:34:25.480 --> 00:34:29.840 wasn't great from the outside, but we needed a big Norm game today and 464 00:34:29.920 --> 00:34:34.159 we got his highest scoring output all year. So it's tough to be super 465 00:34:34.199 --> 00:34:37.320 bummed on this one, but it's also tough to be encouraged as a whole, 466 00:34:37.920 --> 00:34:40.159 just because we were missing so many key guys and Zoo Guy got into 467 00:34:40.199 --> 00:34:44.960 foul trouble early, which I think really you know, stifled on what was 468 00:34:45.000 --> 00:34:47.559 going to be an even better game from him. Yeah, that was frustrating. 469 00:34:47.800 --> 00:34:51.840 All of a sudden in the third quarter they decided to call it very 470 00:34:51.960 --> 00:34:55.559 tight, and I Vitza Zubas picked up two fouls right away. At least 471 00:34:55.559 --> 00:34:59.480 one of them I thought was pretty weak. He played twenty six minutes, 472 00:34:59.599 --> 00:35:02.199 had eight ten points, six boards, and assists. What I will say 473 00:35:02.199 --> 00:35:06.199 about Zoo though, is and what I've been saying is they kind of needed 474 00:35:06.239 --> 00:35:09.519 that refresher course on maybe who eats Zubats is because he's really good on offense. 475 00:35:09.639 --> 00:35:14.000 Now, he's much better than he's ever been, partly because of James 476 00:35:14.079 --> 00:35:17.360 Harden, and they need to go to him regardless of if Kawhi and Paul 477 00:35:17.440 --> 00:35:22.159 George are there or not. This is how you can open up a different 478 00:35:22.199 --> 00:35:25.000 dimension to your offense, which is what we were seeing in December and January. 479 00:35:25.159 --> 00:35:30.719 Know, yeah, I totally agree about the offense and the defense late 480 00:35:30.760 --> 00:35:32.960 in games too. Right, Obviously this game is an exception, but there 481 00:35:34.000 --> 00:35:37.920 were times when ty Lou was actually going with z to close games, so 482 00:35:37.000 --> 00:35:39.960 the Clippers were able to close the size and you know, limit some of 483 00:35:40.000 --> 00:35:45.239 the opportunities we've seen teams get against some Layton game. But I thought Zoo 484 00:35:45.320 --> 00:35:47.320 looked great. This felt like kind of the last tune up game for him, 485 00:35:47.400 --> 00:35:52.159 you know, since he's been back with the illness. Hopefully this this 486 00:35:52.320 --> 00:35:54.320 gets the leash a little longer on him from ty. But yeah, that 487 00:35:54.480 --> 00:35:58.719 that push shot from a couple of feet further out than it was last year 488 00:35:58.760 --> 00:36:00.760 has been great. And yeah, you know, credit to James Harden, 489 00:36:00.800 --> 00:36:05.280 but he's putting the work as well too. Yeah. James Harden with thirty 490 00:36:05.320 --> 00:36:08.079 six minutes after playing thirty four minutes earlier in the game. Day PJ. 491 00:36:08.239 --> 00:36:12.880 Tucker played twenty six minutes, and after taking just three shots in about one 492 00:36:12.960 --> 00:36:15.280 hundred minutes of play, he got up nine in twenty six minutes, had 493 00:36:15.320 --> 00:36:19.519 seven points, just one of six from the outside. He was at least 494 00:36:19.719 --> 00:36:22.280 taking them. But I will say this, even though he struggled shooting wise, 495 00:36:22.360 --> 00:36:27.559 overall he had four offensive rebounds. He had six boards. I don't 496 00:36:27.599 --> 00:36:30.599 know. I know he's taken a lot of incoming this season, and some 497 00:36:30.719 --> 00:36:34.880 of it he put on himself with some of the stuff he said on Instagram 498 00:36:35.039 --> 00:36:38.679 and to the media and not taking a shot when they needed him to the 499 00:36:38.800 --> 00:36:43.079 last time we saw him. But I like what we saw from PJ. 500 00:36:43.280 --> 00:36:46.000 Tucker. I still think there's utility there anything to like from PJ Tucker in 501 00:36:46.079 --> 00:36:51.960 this performance. Also Charles, it really was the willingness to shoot right. 502 00:36:52.119 --> 00:36:54.159 If PJ. Tucker is going to be in a position to succeed, which 503 00:36:54.239 --> 00:36:58.000 is going to be him with four other shooters around him, you know, 504 00:36:58.119 --> 00:37:00.199 serving as that center, he does have to at least get the shot off 505 00:37:00.400 --> 00:37:05.239 right. It's nice to see him do it in a game that's very difficult 506 00:37:05.280 --> 00:37:08.159 from the Clippers, you know who's available wise, but it would be great 507 00:37:08.239 --> 00:37:13.199 to see him do it. You know, if he gets another opportunity when 508 00:37:13.239 --> 00:37:15.760 that you know he's in maybe his best position to succeed for a lineup that 509 00:37:15.840 --> 00:37:21.000 could maybe see some playoff minutes. But the rebounding was great. There was 510 00:37:21.039 --> 00:37:23.519 some solid defense. But who knows what's gonna happen with this rotation as we 511 00:37:23.639 --> 00:37:28.760 go forward. But yeah, there was some encouraging things from PJ. He 512 00:37:28.840 --> 00:37:30.880 did not get ten points, so we don't we're not doing a YouTube live. 513 00:37:31.119 --> 00:37:35.679 Little unfortunate, but maybe next time, I guess, I don't know, 514 00:37:36.360 --> 00:37:38.920 we'll see. They're taking on Minnesota on Tuesday night, another big team, 515 00:37:39.000 --> 00:37:44.519 but without Karl Anthony towns Now obviously and going to the small sponnes Highland 516 00:37:44.639 --> 00:37:47.840 was awesome. It wasn't just one side of his offense this time. You 517 00:37:47.920 --> 00:37:51.519 know, a couple of games ago against Houston, he was getting to the 518 00:37:51.559 --> 00:37:53.880 basket and getting layups, but no threes. Last game out it was all 519 00:37:53.960 --> 00:37:58.639 threes. This time he was able to mix up and show the versatility in 520 00:37:58.719 --> 00:38:01.880 his offensive attack. I love what we saw from Bones Island. Yeah, 521 00:38:02.000 --> 00:38:06.800 he's another guy who's kind of ramping up. Right. Dus feels fully ramped 522 00:38:06.880 --> 00:38:10.880 up from the illness bone tailand is continuing to get even better as he gets 523 00:38:12.000 --> 00:38:16.360 more opportunities since the Russell Westbrook injury and defense. He's looked passable, which 524 00:38:16.440 --> 00:38:21.119 is all he has to look on defense, right, we know the offense 525 00:38:21.239 --> 00:38:22.800 is going to be there. The passing has been you know, I think 526 00:38:22.920 --> 00:38:27.000 kind of a surprise or maybe just you know, it looks so different because 527 00:38:27.000 --> 00:38:30.119 he's so young and twitchy. But the defense has also been perfectly acceptable. 528 00:38:30.360 --> 00:38:35.360 He's been trying, he's been in the right spots. Really help this trajectory 529 00:38:35.480 --> 00:38:37.719 keeps up for Bones because it might help the Clippers next year. You know, 530 00:38:37.960 --> 00:38:42.679 we don't know what's going to happen fully with with that part of the 531 00:38:42.800 --> 00:38:45.239 roster, but yeah, all credit to Bones and we hope nothing but more 532 00:38:45.320 --> 00:38:50.119 good things for the skeleton key. He is Chuck Mockler like the Clippers, 533 00:38:50.159 --> 00:38:54.079 with guys stepping up and filling in admirably. No will Updyke because the Clippers 534 00:38:54.079 --> 00:38:58.000 didn't win this one unfortunately, and I lost one twenty four to one seventeen 535 00:38:58.039 --> 00:39:02.800 to Milwaukee in the second of playing two like Ernie Banks within twenty four hours. 536 00:39:04.280 --> 00:39:06.880 Charles, thanks for doing this a little Clips and double dip a quick 537 00:39:06.960 --> 00:39:09.840 one here on Clippers top my friend, Hey, thanks for having me looking 538 00:39:09.840 --> 00:39:15.719 forward to tomorrow. Clippers take it on Minnesota on Tuesday. We'll have a 539 00:39:15.760 --> 00:39:21.920 YouTube for you tomorrow. Clippers lose by seven. They fought, they gave 540 00:39:21.960 --> 00:39:25.920 everything they had. Guys raised their level of play, played above their heads 541 00:39:25.960 --> 00:39:30.079 in some areas, just came up a little bit short late. More on 542 00:39:30.119 --> 00:39:32.559 that, plus we'll previous Tuesday and get back to your phone calls here on 543 00:39:32.559 --> 00:39:38.199 the Patriot, m eleven fifty every Clipper game all season long. They didn't 544 00:39:38.239 --> 00:39:44.760 stop playing hard. You're listening to the LA Clippers Audio Network streaming on the 545 00:39:44.960 --> 00:39:50.239 iHeartRadio WIP. Clippers did not get out worked, maybe out talented, missing 546 00:39:50.280 --> 00:39:52.639 them big two in the two pin to three connection. No Kawhi, no 547 00:39:52.800 --> 00:39:58.280 Paul George. We understand why. Second game in twenty two hours they lose 548 00:39:58.360 --> 00:40:01.039 to Milwaukee one twenty four to one seventeen. Welcome back in This is Clippers 549 00:40:01.119 --> 00:40:04.400 talk. I'm in a Moslim before we get out of here. On the 550 00:40:04.440 --> 00:40:07.719 Patriot, have eleven fifty because when the Dodgers are on in five seventy, 551 00:40:07.920 --> 00:40:13.320 this is where we will be the key. Morris Lobbach, you're on Clippers 552 00:40:13.320 --> 00:40:19.400 stopt for out of Maza. What's up? The Clippers have hot miles and 553 00:40:19.480 --> 00:40:23.440 miles and miles of harm. Win the Clippers down, and you don't think 554 00:40:23.519 --> 00:40:28.960 to go to win. That's when Nick Riens should start. That's right, 555 00:40:29.039 --> 00:40:30.400 man, These boys got some heart. Wasn't an All star on the team 556 00:40:30.639 --> 00:40:34.559 and they took on two all stars. You talk about Davia Libert Litter was 557 00:40:34.599 --> 00:40:37.760 hitting jump shots from half court. Let me tell you something. The Clippers 558 00:40:37.760 --> 00:40:39.039 is gonna win it this year. Something you said you stole my thunder. 559 00:40:39.039 --> 00:40:42.800 I was gonna say yesterday, you must have pick and roll you talked about. 560 00:40:43.039 --> 00:40:45.599 Nobody ran that pick and roll like John Stockton and Karl Malone, and 561 00:40:45.679 --> 00:40:49.440 they had it going on and nobody could stop it. Well, almost one 562 00:40:49.519 --> 00:40:52.159 championship one time until they got against Chicago, and Chicago figured out how to 563 00:40:52.199 --> 00:40:55.039 stop it. But nobody in the Western Conference could figure out how to stop 564 00:40:55.119 --> 00:41:00.440 that pick and roll. Harden is a pinpoint passer. Luba might need to 565 00:41:00.480 --> 00:41:02.119 give him a year toes that boy is tough on the pick and roll. 566 00:41:02.360 --> 00:41:05.760 When they get into the playoffs, they go flow the game down. We've 567 00:41:05.760 --> 00:41:07.760 got wing players and that pick row. I'm not worried about nothing. If 568 00:41:07.800 --> 00:41:12.079 the Clippers go fourteen and four the rest of the year, we're gonna win 569 00:41:12.119 --> 00:41:14.880 the division. We ain't trying to be the first four seeds. We want 570 00:41:14.920 --> 00:41:16.199 to be the top seed because we get into the playoffs. You need that 571 00:41:16.320 --> 00:41:20.639 home court advantage at them because things get tight. So let me let you 572 00:41:20.679 --> 00:41:22.440 get into the call. Man. But I'm power of these guys, But 573 00:41:22.519 --> 00:41:25.599 I really I'm coul all right, Morris, I appreciate the phone call. 574 00:41:27.320 --> 00:41:29.400 I don't know if that would be enough to get the number one seed. 575 00:41:29.440 --> 00:41:34.039 Honestly, they're three games back of the OKC Thunder right now, they are 576 00:41:34.559 --> 00:41:37.239 two and a half games back of Denver and Minnesota. They're taking on Minnesota 577 00:41:37.280 --> 00:41:44.320 Tuesday night. Just a very consequential game for standings. Watch the Clippers need 578 00:41:44.440 --> 00:41:49.039 that one because it we give them a tie two games a piece against Minnesota 579 00:41:49.119 --> 00:41:52.960 in the regular season series. Then it would come down to I think divisional 580 00:41:53.239 --> 00:41:59.360 record. I'm not sure if the Clippers win the division, they would end 581 00:41:59.440 --> 00:42:04.480 up in the pack div getting booted over the top of Minnesota. Yeah, 582 00:42:04.519 --> 00:42:06.960 it's a little bit convoluted. Okay, quickly, before we get out of 583 00:42:06.960 --> 00:42:13.280 here, let's hear from producer Katie Newton in the bank. Let's get to 584 00:42:13.360 --> 00:42:16.840 Katie's casual corner. Katie are you had all tired, beat up, worn 585 00:42:16.880 --> 00:42:21.880 out, two games twenty two hours. We have so much cereals here. 586 00:42:22.159 --> 00:42:28.079 What was your favorite cereal? That's like we the James Harden to broadcast putting 587 00:42:28.119 --> 00:42:30.039 in Where Katie, my favorite cereal of the ones we had, the ones 588 00:42:30.079 --> 00:42:36.159 we had? How many do we have? I think six? I'll go 589 00:42:36.239 --> 00:42:38.760 with Reese's Puffs. Oh surprising. I know it's kind of like dessert for 590 00:42:38.840 --> 00:42:43.320 breakfast, but it works for me. Peanut butter and chocolate is the best 591 00:42:43.360 --> 00:42:45.719 combination since James Harden and a Viza Zubos and the pick and roll. Baby 592 00:42:45.800 --> 00:42:49.840 Oh, I tied it all together. All right, thank you, Katie. 593 00:42:50.480 --> 00:42:52.239 Before we get out of here, I do want to thank the Clippers 594 00:42:52.440 --> 00:42:58.159 organization, Ralph Laller, Brian Seeman, no what ego, Carlo Jimenez on 595 00:42:58.320 --> 00:43:01.400 the Call, the Call, the listeners, big brother Jake Warner until Tuesday 596 00:43:01.440 --> 00:43:05.199 night, Clippers taking on the Timberwolves.
