00:00:02.120 --> 00:00:06.320
Parents man is pure once again.
It's Clippers Talk. I got calls on

2
00:00:06.360 --> 00:00:12.400
Clippers Talk. Immediate reaction and analysis
to today's game. That's what he's capable

3
00:00:12.560 --> 00:00:17.640
of. Hosted by your pre and
post game voice of the La Clippers,

4
00:00:17.679 --> 00:00:33.280
Adam Osler. Night were back on. All the Clippers back with Paul George.

5
00:00:33.920 --> 00:00:38.640
They come back down twenty five and
win over the Utah Jazz one twenty

6
00:00:38.759 --> 00:00:43.079
one to one fifteen. Welcome in
to Clippers Stock. I'm Adam Oslin.

7
00:00:43.159 --> 00:00:47.640
Eight seven seven five two zero eleven
fifty eight seven seven five two zero eleven

8
00:00:47.759 --> 00:00:50.880
fifty is the phone number. Get
to know it. When the Dodgers are

9
00:00:50.880 --> 00:00:54.880
on AM five seventy, we'll be
right here on the Patriot AM eleven fifty.

10
00:00:55.240 --> 00:00:58.399
Coming up here on the show.
You'll hear from PG thirteen, the

11
00:00:58.439 --> 00:01:03.200
Man of the Hour, also the
head coach in Tehron Lou. After Paul

12
00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:11.280
George orchestrates another twenty five point comeback
here in downtown Los Angeles over the Utah

13
00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:17.719
Jazz, We're having some deja vous. It's a repeat episode and I'm good

14
00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:23.640
with it. It wasn't a playoff
game, no, but the Clippers down

15
00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:29.560
twenty five in the third quarter where
their offense was struggling mightily, especially to

16
00:01:29.599 --> 00:01:33.359
start off the ballgame. They had
just fourteen points in that first quarter.

17
00:01:33.719 --> 00:01:37.359
Paul George had more than that in
the third quarter alone, in his first

18
00:01:37.599 --> 00:01:42.000
game back, had a twenty point
third quarter, had twenty of the Clippers

19
00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:47.599
thirty four points. They shaved it
to twelve after being down by twenty five

20
00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:53.239
heading into the fourth, and then
it was a lot of that Clippers depth

21
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:57.079
we've been talking about all season long, that if they could just get a

22
00:01:57.079 --> 00:02:01.040
little healthier, it could really shine. What would it mean for Luke Kennard

23
00:02:01.599 --> 00:02:06.760
to be playing next to hopefully Kawhi
Leonard again at some point, but Paul

24
00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:10.919
George and hopefully Norman Powell at some
point. The gravity of Paul George,

25
00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:16.400
the amount of attention that comes his
way, leaves open shots for Luke Kennard,

26
00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:21.960
who had been struggling, was just
seven of his last twenty four takes

27
00:02:21.960 --> 00:02:25.800
from the outside in the last five
games. But remember what happened here postgame

28
00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:31.520
Friday night, after he struggled again
against Philly and the Clippers got blown out

29
00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:35.879
and it looked like they were losing
some of that comeback magic. Wherein two

30
00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:39.960
of their last three games, including
a game in Utah. Three games ago.

31
00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:45.879
They had been blown out and they
just weren't able to have those big

32
00:02:45.919 --> 00:02:49.719
comebacks. Luke Kennard put in the
work post game, and it wasn't just

33
00:02:49.879 --> 00:02:54.199
him putting up shots afterwards. It
was Isaiah Hartenstein, his teammate who stayed

34
00:02:54.240 --> 00:02:58.280
with him, who was making the
passes. It wasn't a ball boy.

35
00:02:58.719 --> 00:03:02.479
Those two were out here putting in
extra work at Crypto dot Com Arena and

36
00:03:02.520 --> 00:03:07.560
it paid off because Luke Nard likely
hit the biggest shot of the ball game.

37
00:03:08.039 --> 00:03:13.319
The Clippers were down one fifteen to
one fourteen with a minute twenty left

38
00:03:14.840 --> 00:03:20.560
and Cannard sticks a big time three
pointer off a pass from PG thirteen,

39
00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:23.639
who finished with six assists. By
the way, wasn't just the thirty four

40
00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:30.319
points. Paul George is a two
way player. When they needed him to

41
00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:32.360
step up, and Donovan Mitchell was
trying to take over early in the fourth

42
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:38.240
quarter and was getting to the basket
at will, it was Paul George who

43
00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:44.800
took the challenge, who had three
steals in the first quarter and had a

44
00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:47.199
couple more in the fourth. They
only credited him with four steals in the

45
00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:52.479
ball game. He had a couple
of knockaways, he had some tip passes,

46
00:03:52.520 --> 00:03:55.360
some deflections. You could say that
when I look up the advanced analytics

47
00:03:55.439 --> 00:04:01.240
later on NBA dot Com will prove
true. And it was against Donovan Mitchell.

48
00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:05.039
They found a way to slow him
down when he was trying to answer

49
00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:10.800
every Clippers run. And it seemed
like all night that was happening from the

50
00:04:10.919 --> 00:04:15.079
Utah Jazz because they were scorching hot
from the outside in the first three quarters.

51
00:04:15.399 --> 00:04:19.000
Whereafter they hit five three pointers in
the first quarter alone, and the

52
00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:26.079
Clippers went oza five from the outside, they were twelve of twenty eight that's

53
00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:30.439
forty three percent from distance. Through
the first three quarters. They were relying

54
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:32.480
on the three ball. They do
that often, they're good at it,

55
00:04:33.319 --> 00:04:36.639
but they went away from it.
In the fourth they only put up three

56
00:04:36.920 --> 00:04:43.560
and they went over. And meanwhile, the Clippers hit some big shots Roco

57
00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:47.199
Luke Kennard, Reggie Jackson, who
I want to say is two for his

58
00:04:47.319 --> 00:04:54.480
last twenty one from the outside.
Now it's something like that. Our superstar

59
00:04:54.600 --> 00:05:00.839
statistician Dennis Dagostino has that information for
us. But clutch shots for a team

60
00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:04.120
that has the best or second best. Excuse me, Phoenix will give it

61
00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:08.839
to you. Clipper sent Kawai and
PG thirteen all season might be different,

62
00:05:08.839 --> 00:05:12.800
but they still have the second best
clutch rating in the NBA. Last five

63
00:05:12.800 --> 00:05:17.600
minutes of a game within five points, the Clippers offense comes alive. In

64
00:05:17.720 --> 00:05:23.319
offense that in their last five games
has been even worse. During this five

65
00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:28.480
game losing streak, the longest of
the season, they were just twenty eighth

66
00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:34.519
offensively and they were shooting just thirty
three percent from the outside. Tonight,

67
00:05:35.519 --> 00:05:42.439
after starting zero five, they ends
up fifteen of thirty six. But it

68
00:05:42.519 --> 00:05:46.639
was Paul George who put the team
on his back, as superstars do,

69
00:05:47.319 --> 00:05:54.000
but in his first game back to
have a performance like this With now just

70
00:05:54.120 --> 00:05:58.519
six games left the season, and
I'm not gonna say the Clippers darkest hour,

71
00:05:58.600 --> 00:06:01.040
but longest losing streak of the year, and they looked to have hit

72
00:06:01.079 --> 00:06:06.959
the wall. Guys look gassed.
Guys who have had expanded roles because of

73
00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:12.319
the situation with injuries, like Reggie
Jackson who still was just eight of twenty

74
00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:15.319
four, like Marcus Morris who only
hit one shot and had a really rough

75
00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:21.000
ballgame. They had someone to lean
on to pick them up. Finally,

76
00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:27.879
it was PG thirteen back and he
had a twenty spot in the fourth quarter

77
00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:30.399
alone and hit three three pointers.
Was the only one that hit a three

78
00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:35.000
pointer in that quarter. Was five
of seven in the quarter, had six

79
00:06:35.079 --> 00:06:41.680
more points, including some big free
throws and a layup over Rudy gober Late.

80
00:06:42.079 --> 00:06:46.560
Not easy to do, but somehow
the Clippers have no problem attacking that

81
00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:51.560
stifle tower. Whether it's PG thirteen
or Terrence Man or Reggie Jackson, they

82
00:06:51.639 --> 00:06:58.000
show no fear against one of the
best defensive centers we've seen in the modern

83
00:06:58.040 --> 00:07:01.199
era, and Paul George would hit
a shot over him with under two minutes

84
00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:06.040
left. Again, had six of
his thirty four in the fourth quarter and

85
00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:10.360
helped will the Clippers to victory.
But I felt like as the game went

86
00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:15.000
along, guys were assuming roles once
again. They were sinking into their roles,

87
00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:19.480
filling the rules perfectly and surrounding their
superstar. It didn't start off pretty

88
00:07:20.360 --> 00:07:27.360
in either half down twenty five,
though, I tweeted out Clippers down twenty

89
00:07:27.360 --> 00:07:31.480
five to the Utah Jazz again,
eyes amozy emojis, I'm hip, I'm

90
00:07:31.480 --> 00:07:39.240
with it, And for some reason, whenever the Clippers get down like this

91
00:07:39.319 --> 00:07:43.480
as they have over the years,
they play their best basketball. But against

92
00:07:43.639 --> 00:07:48.839
Utah ooh, who are gonna be
kicking their own? Took us, as

93
00:07:48.920 --> 00:07:53.800
BTV would be saying, because they
went just seventeen of twenty nine from the

94
00:07:53.839 --> 00:07:58.399
free throw line. That's fifty eight
percent, and they really came up short

95
00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:03.920
late. The Clippers just have their
number, and maybe it's the psychological warfare

96
00:08:03.959 --> 00:08:07.199
of the game. And you come
back on a team down twenty five in

97
00:08:07.240 --> 00:08:11.439
the playoffs and you have somebody comebacks, you have that reservoir of confidence to

98
00:08:11.560 --> 00:08:16.279
draw upon. But I think part
of it was also the Utah Jazz could

99
00:08:16.279 --> 00:08:20.000
feel it coming too, and when
the Clippers finally got over the hump with

100
00:08:20.040 --> 00:08:26.079
that Luke Kennard three pointer, the
Jazz went scoreless in the final minute of

101
00:08:26.079 --> 00:08:31.360
the ball game. The Clippers never
looked back and Reggie Jackson, by the

102
00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:37.360
way two for his last eighteen from
three, but would hit a big one

103
00:08:37.879 --> 00:08:43.440
after missing a couple of good looks. He hit one let's see at the

104
00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:48.840
five minute mark of the fourth quarter. This Clippers team just finds ways to

105
00:08:48.879 --> 00:08:54.720
win no matter who is out there. But tonight you gotta welcome back Paul

106
00:08:54.799 --> 00:08:58.840
George with a performance like this,
and Noah Eagles said a pregame it's not

107
00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:03.960
as surprising as he might think,
because remember in his first season as a

108
00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:09.519
Clipper, he missed some games initially
coming off his shoulder surgery, and then

109
00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:13.799
showed up and had one of the
most efficient games in franchise history. Granted

110
00:09:13.879 --> 00:09:18.000
in a loss in New Orleans.
I want to say. He had thirty

111
00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:22.639
nine points on like fourteen shots.
It was unbelievable. He just hit the

112
00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:28.279
ground running. He was in sync
from basically the second quarter on. Didn't

113
00:09:28.320 --> 00:09:31.759
hit a shot in the first quarter. His timing and rhythm seemed to be

114
00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:35.840
a little bit off at the basket. Wasn't getting a good whistle. Nothing

115
00:09:35.879 --> 00:09:39.039
new there, I know. That
was the running joke tonight. Uh yeah,

116
00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:41.879
Paul George is definitely back. He's
still gonna get a call. The

117
00:09:41.919 --> 00:09:46.360
Clipper Nation was saying that online,
responding into some of my tweets with that.

118
00:09:46.759 --> 00:09:50.120
But he stayed with it and late
hits that big bucket over Rudy Gobert.

119
00:09:50.559 --> 00:09:54.919
But the step back threes and the
tough twos he hit in that third

120
00:09:56.039 --> 00:10:01.240
quarter, that's what really makes him. What I like to say at times

121
00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:07.399
is a six nine Steph Curry.
He's got a handle at that height that

122
00:10:07.559 --> 00:10:13.279
makes him special. He's got wiggle
and can get around guys at that size

123
00:10:13.320 --> 00:10:16.440
that makes him special. And believe
me, Paul George, when you see

124
00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:22.720
him in person, he's even bigger. But this was a big time performance

125
00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:28.799
that can hopefully give the Clippers a
little bit of momentum heading into the play

126
00:10:28.799 --> 00:10:33.080
in tournament because that's where they're headed. They're going to be in that eight

127
00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:39.120
spot. It's almost mathematically impossible for
them to be anywhere else. At this

128
00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:43.080
point, I want to say the
magic number is down to two. With

129
00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:50.559
the Lakers also losing earlier tonight badly
in Dallas. Clippers come back down twenty

130
00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:54.639
five. It's the fifth time this
season they've come back down twenty or more.

131
00:10:56.279 --> 00:11:01.399
It's the fourth time they've come back
down twenty four or more, and

132
00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:05.159
that hasn't happened in the last twenty
five years at least. We don't know

133
00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:11.840
how far we can go back into
the NBA records to find numbers like this.

134
00:11:11.200 --> 00:11:16.879
It's that unheard of. But you've
been watching this with Clippers basketball going

135
00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:20.320
back to twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen. And there are some guys that deserve

136
00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:24.159
credit that are no longer here,
like Pat Bev who was a culture changer

137
00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:28.759
and it's doing the same thing in
Minnesota now and Lou Williams and Montrese Harold.

138
00:11:30.519 --> 00:11:33.759
But the front office continues to refine
the roster, find high character guys,

139
00:11:35.960 --> 00:11:37.720
Guys that want to be here,
want to win here, want to

140
00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:43.080
do something special in bringing this franchise
their first ever championship. Guys who bet

141
00:11:43.080 --> 00:11:50.159
on themselves like Isaiah Hartenstein, who
could have been in Golden State's training camp.

142
00:11:50.200 --> 00:11:54.639
He wanted to be here with the
Clippers. He beat out another center

143
00:11:56.000 --> 00:11:58.559
to get the final spot on the
roster, and here he was in a

144
00:11:58.639 --> 00:12:03.840
twenty five point comeback, being the
goat float or the float goat, whatever

145
00:12:03.879 --> 00:12:09.480
you want to call him. With
that ridiculous floater he has off of passes

146
00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:15.080
from PG thirteen, another weapon at
the center position where it's just automatic from

147
00:12:15.120 --> 00:12:18.879
ten feet out. And he had
eight of his fourteen points in the fourth

148
00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:22.720
and the Clippers, as good as
Paul George was in that third quarter,

149
00:12:24.039 --> 00:12:26.320
they came together as a team,
played one of their best quarters of the

150
00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:31.600
season, outscored the Utah Jazz by
eighteen and the fourth it was a thirty

151
00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:39.519
nine to twenty one discrepancy, and
you're Los Angeles Clippers do it again down

152
00:12:39.600 --> 00:12:43.279
twenty five against Utah. This is
Clippers stock. I'm at a Moslin at

153
00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:48.360
eight seven seven five two zero eleven
fifty eight seven seven five two zero eleven

154
00:12:48.559 --> 00:12:54.720
fifty is the phone number coming back. We got postgame audio from PG thirteen.

155
00:12:56.000 --> 00:13:01.480
What a return. Didn't miss a
beat. Thirty four points in thirty

156
00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:09.600
minutes. They are survivors. It
is unheard of what these Clippers have been

157
00:13:09.639 --> 00:13:16.279
able to do all season long.
They stayed afloat until they got PG thirteen

158
00:13:16.360 --> 00:13:20.919
back. Hopefully more of the calvary
is just around the corner. We're talking

159
00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:26.279
about Norman Powell and Kawhi Leonard.
Of course, maybe we have updates from

160
00:13:26.279 --> 00:13:28.559
the players or the head coach post
game. We'll get to all that.

161
00:13:28.639 --> 00:13:31.799
Here are Clipper stock. I'm Adam
Oslin and you're listening to the Patriot AM

162
00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:46.600
eleven fifteen over by now, but
it will sting in my hands. This

163
00:13:46.759 --> 00:13:52.120
is LA Clippers basketball quarter three for
the time he got it. This is

164
00:13:52.120 --> 00:13:56.840
the official home of your LA Clippers
definition of ball, in which white folks.

165
00:13:58.279 --> 00:14:18.360
But now the Clippers come back down
twenty five against the Utah Jazz.

166
00:14:18.440 --> 00:14:22.120
This is not a replay of Game
six last year in the second round,

167
00:14:22.320 --> 00:14:26.679
but it's got to feel like that
for the Utah Jazz. Welcome back into

168
00:14:26.679 --> 00:14:31.159
Clippers stock. I'm out of maslin
eight seven seven five two zero eleven fifty

169
00:14:31.200 --> 00:14:35.679
eight seven seven five two zero eleven
fifty is the phone number. Yes,

170
00:14:35.879 --> 00:14:39.679
we are on the Patriot AM eleven
fifty tonight when the Dodgers are on AM

171
00:14:39.759 --> 00:14:43.840
five seventy programming. Nope, we'll
be here with you on the Patriot AM

172
00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:50.200
eleven fifty. This is spooky,
eerie numerology like stuff. If you're into

173
00:14:50.279 --> 00:14:54.559
it either way, I'm gonna give
it to you. So when the Clippers

174
00:14:54.559 --> 00:14:58.879
were down twenty five in this one, the score was seventy six to fifty

175
00:14:58.960 --> 00:15:03.000
one you with eight oh seven left
in the third quarter. When the Clippers

176
00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:07.240
were down twenty five in Game six
to Utah last season, the score was

177
00:15:07.320 --> 00:15:15.679
seventy five to fifty. It's unbelievable
how the Clippers are able to do this,

178
00:15:15.759 --> 00:15:20.120
but I do think there's a connection
there. Teams can feel it.

179
00:15:20.320 --> 00:15:26.080
When the Clippers take that momentum,
they start gripping. They know, oh

180
00:15:26.120 --> 00:15:28.279
no, it's gonna happen to us
next, or it's gonna happen to us

181
00:15:28.320 --> 00:15:33.639
again. In the case of the
Utah Jazz and the Clippers went small for

182
00:15:33.679 --> 00:15:37.120
a bit. And by the way, this was the first time Robert Covington

183
00:15:37.799 --> 00:15:41.639
was playing next to Paul George,
and those two worked well. Roco was

184
00:15:41.720 --> 00:15:46.639
great. He had a big three
pointer as well. He was everywhere defensively,

185
00:15:46.320 --> 00:15:50.960
getting to a couple of offensive rebounds
two. But one of the best

186
00:15:50.960 --> 00:15:56.360
plays I've seen all seasons from Paul
George. And I mean in the NBA,

187
00:15:58.120 --> 00:16:00.039
not just with the Clippers. Sure, I'm biased, I've seen more

188
00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:04.200
of these games, but I watched
everything. I'm a nerd like that.

189
00:16:04.559 --> 00:16:11.960
I'm watching NBA TV. I'm watching
the game earlier on TNT, but tonight

190
00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:15.279
in the fourth quarter, and I
think it was Reggie Jackson or it was

191
00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:18.720
Terrence Man who also helped fuel this
twenty five point comeback, just like he

192
00:16:18.720 --> 00:16:23.480
did for the Clippers in the playoffs
against Utah. A lob and arrant pass

193
00:16:23.679 --> 00:16:27.480
was thrown towards Paul George. He
couldn't get to it for the dunk,

194
00:16:29.200 --> 00:16:34.679
but he had the wherewithal and use
that right arm, that elbow where he's

195
00:16:34.720 --> 00:16:41.240
coming back after three and a half
months to grab it, to almost go

196
00:16:41.320 --> 00:16:48.240
into that hammer mode and pass it
over to Isaiah Hartenstein as he saved it

197
00:16:48.399 --> 00:16:52.960
going out of bounds. Instead,
it turned into a beautiful assist for Hartenstein

198
00:16:53.000 --> 00:17:00.360
at the basket in the fourth quarter. It was an unbelievable save and Ed

199
00:17:00.440 --> 00:17:06.880
Reid like safety almost interception as he
had no business getting to that basketball and

200
00:17:06.960 --> 00:17:10.920
had no shot at the dunk,
but he still turned it into a positive

201
00:17:10.920 --> 00:17:15.279
play. But the way he hounded
Donovan Mitchell late in the game, who

202
00:17:15.359 --> 00:17:18.960
had it going, who looked like
he was gonna take over and close things

203
00:17:18.960 --> 00:17:21.920
out in the fourth quarter, and
then Paul George said enough is enough.

204
00:17:21.960 --> 00:17:26.240
He had three steals in the first
quarter. This man had as much pent

205
00:17:26.400 --> 00:17:33.000
up energy as I had ever seen. His lateral movement. Remember this wasn't

206
00:17:33.000 --> 00:17:38.160
a lower body extremity type of injury, and sometimes it gives you a chance

207
00:17:38.200 --> 00:17:44.039
to have those fresh legs, and
Paul George had the juice the way he

208
00:17:44.160 --> 00:17:48.319
was moving. There were a couple
of contested shots on Mike Conley, who,

209
00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:52.519
to his credit, Clippers killer made
him anyways over PG thirteen. But

210
00:17:52.839 --> 00:17:57.000
this is someone who was showing off
that he still is one of the most

211
00:17:57.079 --> 00:18:02.799
elite defenders in the league, who
finished third and Defensive Player of the Year

212
00:18:02.920 --> 00:18:04.960
voting just a couple of years ago, the same year he finished third in

213
00:18:06.200 --> 00:18:11.720
MVP voting. That's how good Paul
George is, don't get it twisted.

214
00:18:11.759 --> 00:18:15.240
And by the way, he was
coming off this season his best playoff runt

215
00:18:15.279 --> 00:18:18.559
ever last year with the Clippers,
where he took them to the Western Conference

216
00:18:18.559 --> 00:18:21.960
Finals for the first time in franchise
history. After Kawhi Leonard went down.

217
00:18:22.720 --> 00:18:25.880
We don't know when Kawhi could return, if it's going to be this season,

218
00:18:26.920 --> 00:18:30.079
but this Clippers team has learned how
to play without him to some extent,

219
00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:33.279
and has learned how to rally around
Paul George, and they looked to

220
00:18:33.319 --> 00:18:37.640
be back to that in the second
half eight seven seven five two zero eleven

221
00:18:37.759 --> 00:18:44.119
fifty eight seven seven five two zero
eleven fifty Morris and long Beach. He

222
00:18:44.200 --> 00:18:47.039
owed me a phone call he had
those tickets a couple of weeks ago.

223
00:18:47.519 --> 00:18:51.400
Morris, what's up Y're on Clippers
stock with Adam Moslin to Adam limit Day

224
00:18:51.519 --> 00:18:53.559
something my daughter said to me,
because my wife and the Adam, those

225
00:18:53.640 --> 00:19:00.119
tickets were very expensive tickets. They
were expensive tickets at him. My wife

226
00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:03.720
told me. My daughter told me, she said, Daddy, I didn't

227
00:19:03.720 --> 00:19:07.599
know God made people at all,
you know, but they had a wonderful

228
00:19:07.640 --> 00:19:10.599
time. Just thank you very much, Adam, one hundred times over.

229
00:19:10.680 --> 00:19:15.000
Thank you very very much. I
mean, but it's just unbelievable. My

230
00:19:15.079 --> 00:19:17.480
kid was so happy, my wife
was happy. But let me talk to

231
00:19:17.519 --> 00:19:18.920
you about the nice game. Let
me tell you what showed up tonight.

232
00:19:19.599 --> 00:19:23.400
The defensive intensity. See, the
Clippers have always been a defensive team in

233
00:19:23.480 --> 00:19:26.920
the NBA. In the NBA,
if you can't get no stops in the

234
00:19:26.960 --> 00:19:30.000
fourth quarter, let it go that. If you can't stop he's a world

235
00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:33.680
class athlete. They shoot from half
court and jumping over everybody, and they're

236
00:19:33.680 --> 00:19:37.039
asking you to defend something like that. Good luck. But if you can't

237
00:19:37.079 --> 00:19:40.839
get any stops, you can't win. In the NBA. The Clippers got

238
00:19:40.920 --> 00:19:44.599
some stops tonight. You had to
be impressed with these guys. The steals,

239
00:19:44.759 --> 00:19:48.000
the reflections. You know, Canard. Canard is jumping up and down.

240
00:19:48.079 --> 00:19:49.839
You know that, don't you.
Canard is jumping up because when he

241
00:19:49.839 --> 00:19:52.119
gets the ball, now, oh
thank you, he can pick his nose

242
00:19:52.160 --> 00:19:55.880
and shoot, Whereas before when he
didn't have George, he kind of have

243
00:19:55.960 --> 00:19:57.400
to rush the shot. He couldn't
get his feet set. But he's got

244
00:19:57.400 --> 00:20:00.359
Paul George down. And I'm gonna
tell you Kawhie is coming back. But

245
00:20:00.440 --> 00:20:03.359
they got to get through the first
round of the playing. They got to

246
00:20:03.400 --> 00:20:06.839
get through that right there, and
he's coming back this year. Everybody.

247
00:20:06.880 --> 00:20:08.880
I knew the Clippers wasn't gonna waste
this year. I knew they had something

248
00:20:08.920 --> 00:20:14.079
up this leap and they're showing it
and again the double A thank you for

249
00:20:14.200 --> 00:20:17.000
him take his man. This season
was off the hook. I mean they

250
00:20:17.039 --> 00:20:22.720
were off the hook. Thank you
Morris. I mean you're earned up and

251
00:20:22.759 --> 00:20:26.039
you're one of the regulars here on
Clipper's Talk. But come one eight seven

252
00:20:26.119 --> 00:20:32.319
seven five two zero eleven fifty eight
seven seven five two zero eleven fifty is

253
00:20:32.319 --> 00:20:34.400
the phone number and Clipper Nation.
By the way, give yourself a pat

254
00:20:34.480 --> 00:20:38.920
on the back. It was so
loud in here, and it's been a

255
00:20:38.920 --> 00:20:45.559
while since I heard it this loud. Actually called this play Staples Center because

256
00:20:45.119 --> 00:20:51.519
that was the last time I heard
it this loud so before what last December

257
00:20:52.319 --> 00:20:56.160
on Christmas when they renamed it.
You guys helped fuel this comeback as well.

258
00:20:56.200 --> 00:21:00.519
I thought Terrence Man was special.
He had a big tip in on

259
00:21:00.559 --> 00:21:06.400
a Reggie Jackson miss lay up.
There was some great defense by Rudy Gobert,

260
00:21:06.440 --> 00:21:08.960
but team Man was there to tip
it in. He went at Gobert

261
00:21:10.000 --> 00:21:15.799
for another one went right at him. Zero fear of the stifle Tower,

262
00:21:15.279 --> 00:21:18.759
one of the best shot blockers in
the league, who had a big one

263
00:21:18.799 --> 00:21:19.920
on a Viza Zuo Butts in the
game, by the way, and Big

264
00:21:21.039 --> 00:21:26.519
Zoo didn't have his best finished two
or four from the field, had eight

265
00:21:26.559 --> 00:21:30.240
points, six boards, and seventeen
minutes. But Hartenstein had himself a game,

266
00:21:30.319 --> 00:21:37.160
and coach Low is always willing to
ride the hot hand. But to

267
00:21:37.160 --> 00:21:41.160
see Paul George come back and play
almost thirty one minutes and be that efficient

268
00:21:41.680 --> 00:21:47.519
ten of twenty six of nine from
the outside after, I want to say

269
00:21:47.559 --> 00:21:52.200
he started oh three. The Clippers
were all five from three to start off

270
00:21:52.279 --> 00:21:56.440
the game in the first quarter,
and they still end up forty two.

271
00:21:57.920 --> 00:22:03.480
As the game goes long, they
just tend to figure things out and play

272
00:22:03.519 --> 00:22:07.440
their best basketball. Down the stretch
and to Morris and Long Beaches point.

273
00:22:07.880 --> 00:22:14.720
They outscored the Utah Jazz forty five
to twenty one in the last twelve minutes.

274
00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:21.400
In forty seconds and end of the
game on a seven oh run Clippers

275
00:22:21.400 --> 00:22:25.000
win one twenty one to one fifteen. You know what, let's hear from

276
00:22:25.000 --> 00:22:34.039
PG thirteen post game on the NBA
on TNC, and that is officially baptizing

277
00:22:34.079 --> 00:22:38.559
Paul George back into the Clipper lineup. Are you sure you missed three months?

278
00:22:40.319 --> 00:22:45.400
Man? I gotta shout out to
get ready grow Connor West, Uh

279
00:22:45.680 --> 00:22:52.839
chash Shot both, Uh, Dante
Jones, Uh Sammy Rodney. I gotta

280
00:22:52.880 --> 00:22:56.400
shout out those guys for getting me
ready to play. They battled, they

281
00:22:56.480 --> 00:23:03.079
tested me in practices, and it
prepared me for tonight. Paul, you

282
00:23:03.240 --> 00:23:07.759
have come back from all sorts of
devastating injuries throughout your career. Tyler told

283
00:23:07.880 --> 00:23:12.119
us before tonight's game that you had
every excuse in the book to call this

284
00:23:12.279 --> 00:23:17.400
a season. What was it that
made the decision for you that you wanted

285
00:23:17.440 --> 00:23:22.759
to return? I mean, first
and foremost, I couldn't do this without

286
00:23:22.839 --> 00:23:26.440
God. You know, He's strengthened
me, He healed my body. But

287
00:23:26.680 --> 00:23:30.680
you know, just having an idol
like Kobe Bryant, who you know he

288
00:23:30.799 --> 00:23:33.759
plays and stuff like this, and
I always hold myself to a high standard.

289
00:23:33.960 --> 00:23:37.400
And you know, at the end
of the day, when I finished,

290
00:23:37.400 --> 00:23:38.640
I want to look at my career
say I gave everything I had.

291
00:23:40.240 --> 00:23:41.400
I wanted to help my guys.
I didn't want to leave him out here

292
00:23:41.440 --> 00:23:45.039
hanging for the rest of the season. I felt good, So you know

293
00:23:45.079 --> 00:23:52.160
it was only right to come back, bod Beggie Jackson sang m v P

294
00:23:52.440 --> 00:23:57.119
Paul. For the fourth time this
season, your squad has come from twenty

295
00:23:57.240 --> 00:24:00.359
four or more points down to win
a game. Game First, what is

296
00:24:00.400 --> 00:24:03.599
it about your team that allows you
to dig that hole? And what is

297
00:24:03.640 --> 00:24:07.960
it about this team that allows you
to get out of those holes? I

298
00:24:07.039 --> 00:24:11.160
mean, we just we we always
know what it is when we come out

299
00:24:11.160 --> 00:24:15.400
and we play flat, we're we're
scholar. What it is the world poor

300
00:24:15.480 --> 00:24:19.160
team. We don't execute well,
we don't finish well, we don't shoot

301
00:24:19.200 --> 00:24:22.680
the ball well, we don't defend
well. It just comes down to effort

302
00:24:22.759 --> 00:24:26.319
and energy, and uh, you
can always pick that. You know,

303
00:24:26.400 --> 00:24:27.680
you look at every game that we
go down big, it's because the other

304
00:24:27.680 --> 00:24:32.160
teams playing harder than this. But
when we turn it on and you know

305
00:24:32.240 --> 00:24:37.079
we we we finally get into the
game, we give ourselves a chance and

306
00:24:37.279 --> 00:24:40.359
us the reason why, you know, we we always think we can win

307
00:24:40.400 --> 00:24:41.319
a game. Do you think you'll
be able to get away with that in

308
00:24:41.359 --> 00:24:47.519
the playoffs? No, we have
though we had a history of the playoffs

309
00:24:47.640 --> 00:24:51.319
up doing so, but not where
we're at now. You know we're potentially

310
00:24:51.359 --> 00:24:53.319
a seventh AGC. We're gonna be
on the road. Uh. We we

311
00:24:53.400 --> 00:24:57.359
already had a disadvantage to start the
series if we get into the playoffs,

312
00:24:57.400 --> 00:25:00.519
So we gotta nip that in the
bud and become a playoff team early.

313
00:25:00.640 --> 00:25:04.000
Want to let everybody know you let
everybody in on the secret of what you

314
00:25:04.079 --> 00:25:07.519
told me at half time. I
should I saw him in a half time

315
00:25:08.000 --> 00:25:11.799
in the back and he say hopefully
that he sees me after the end of

316
00:25:11.839 --> 00:25:14.000
the game. I should have promised
that I'll see you at the end of

317
00:25:14.039 --> 00:25:17.720
the game. But it's good to
see you, Jack, Paul, welcome

318
00:25:17.759 --> 00:25:21.119
back. Appreciate it, Thank you. League's better with him back on the

319
00:25:21.160 --> 00:25:23.480
floor. He was a starter.
I don't know what you guys heard.

320
00:25:23.519 --> 00:25:30.640
I heard should there was PG thirteen
post game after the Clippers come back,

321
00:25:30.680 --> 00:25:34.000
they out twenty five, they win
one twenty one and one fifteen over the

322
00:25:34.240 --> 00:25:38.720
Utah Jazz. We'll take a quick
time out, we'll come back. We'll

323
00:25:38.720 --> 00:25:42.640
get to your phone calls eight seven

when the Dodgers are on M five to

325
00:25:47.119 --> 00:25:51.759
seventy l A Sports, we're here
on the Patriot AM eleven fifty looking for

326
00:25:51.839 --> 00:25:56.039
more post game audio from the head
coach in Toronto. Lou I metam Oslin

327
00:25:56.119 --> 00:25:57.880
and this is Clippers. Stoff the
Patriot and put it on the triple.

328
00:25:57.960 --> 00:26:03.000
Babe. I'm nothing, but I
see a lot of teams. I know

329
00:26:03.079 --> 00:26:07.720
how to anna look. Let the
kind of look make you put This is

330
00:26:08.039 --> 00:26:14.119
La Clippers basketball quarter three for the
time he got it. This is the

331
00:26:14.200 --> 00:26:27.559
official home of your La Clippers.
Flints is to Clipper on the victory come

332
00:26:27.640 --> 00:26:33.599
back victor over the Jazz. No
longer stable centers kurfto dot Com Arena,

333
00:26:33.920 --> 00:26:41.119
but the comebacks remain the same.
Down twenty five with a score of seventy

334
00:26:41.240 --> 00:26:45.319
six to fifty one with eight minutes
left, in the third quarter. Somehow,

335
00:26:47.000 --> 00:26:49.960
some way, the Clippers do it
again for the fifth time this season.

336
00:26:51.000 --> 00:26:55.680
When they were down by twenty or
more, they find a way to

337
00:26:55.759 --> 00:27:00.720
win. It's started against the Minnesota
Timberwolves back on November fifth. This was

338
00:27:00.799 --> 00:27:07.000
a forty point turnaround. They went
from down twenty to winning by twenty over

339
00:27:07.079 --> 00:27:11.480
the Timberwolves, who they may see
in the first round. Well in the

340
00:27:11.599 --> 00:27:15.799
play in in the first play in
game, should they win that they become

341
00:27:15.880 --> 00:27:21.480
the seventh seat. Then it was
January eleventh against Denver down twenty five.

342
00:27:22.279 --> 00:27:29.799
In January twenty first in Philly,
down twenty four, and then well,

343
00:27:29.839 --> 00:27:33.759
I'll come back for the Ages in
the Nation's Capital, second biggest comeback in

344
00:27:34.039 --> 00:27:40.440
NBA history where they were down twenty
five. Make it thirty five to the

345
00:27:40.559 --> 00:27:45.359
Washington Wizards in DC, and they
found a way as Luke Kennard, I

346
00:27:45.400 --> 00:27:48.880
think I had seven points in the
final nine seconds, his own Reggie Miller

347
00:27:49.000 --> 00:27:52.799
type of moment. Welcome back in
the Clippers stock. I'm ata Moslin to

348
00:27:52.839 --> 00:27:57.240
eight seven seventy five two zero eleven
fifty eight seven seventy five two zero eleven

349
00:27:57.400 --> 00:28:02.559

to? Clippers talk here on the Patriot

350
00:28:02.599 --> 00:28:04.559
AM eleven fifty when the Dodgers are
on a M five seventy LA Sports,

351
00:28:04.640 --> 00:28:11.279
we will be here every time.
Know that story of the night. Though.

352
00:28:11.440 --> 00:28:17.839
Paul George, he has thirty four
six three pointers after the first quarter,

353
00:28:18.000 --> 00:28:21.200
looked to be back in rhythm.
The thing I like, just two

354
00:28:21.279 --> 00:28:26.039
turnovers At times this season he's had
an issue in that area. Not Tonight

355
00:28:26.480 --> 00:28:30.759
had six assists. Two of them
came in the fourth quarter, a big

356
00:28:30.799 --> 00:28:37.680
one to Isaiah Hartenstein where somehow he
turned and eront pass was supposed to be

357
00:28:37.759 --> 00:28:41.599
a lib into a pass to Hartenstein
for a bucket, and then would find

358
00:28:41.720 --> 00:28:45.279
Luke Kennard for the biggest shot of
the game, a three pointer to put

359
00:28:45.319 --> 00:28:48.880
the Clippers up by two, and
they would finish the game on a seven

360
00:28:48.000 --> 00:28:52.839
oh run where the Utah Jazz look
to be shook. I'm gonna call it

361
00:28:53.200 --> 00:28:59.119
as I see it. We've seen
the Clippers in situations like this before in

362
00:28:59.160 --> 00:29:03.759
the Lob City where they weren't able
to close up by seven forty five seconds

363
00:29:03.839 --> 00:29:07.359
left game five, and okay,
see, I'm sorry to bring it up,

364
00:29:07.440 --> 00:29:14.240
but Utah using a timeout when they
didn't have one late and Scott Foster

365
00:29:14.680 --> 00:29:18.720
taking some time to realize Yeah,
they in fact didn't have one technical foul.

366
00:29:18.720 --> 00:29:22.200
Clippers going to the free throw line, Reggie Jackson would hit it.

367
00:29:22.839 --> 00:29:29.720
That is a rarity. I know, you guys talking about cweb Rashid Wallace

368
00:29:29.759 --> 00:29:33.400
has done it before. Two It
happens once in a while. In fact,

369
00:29:33.920 --> 00:29:40.039
Reggie Jackson did it last season and
then redeemed himself as he did in

370
00:29:40.119 --> 00:29:44.799
this game. Started off cold,
would hit big shots late, Clippers come

371
00:29:44.839 --> 00:29:48.400
back down twenty five, They win
one twenty one to one fifteen over the

372
00:29:48.559 --> 00:29:52.440
Jazz. When we return here on
Clippers Stock, we'll tell you about the

373
00:29:52.519 --> 00:29:57.640
upcoming road trip. Still looking for
postgame audio from the head coach, tehront

374
00:29:57.759 --> 00:30:03.960
Lou. But what a big time
night here for the Clippers after losing five

375
00:30:04.000 --> 00:30:11.359
straight, getting back Paul George and
now can they build off this momentum as

376
00:30:11.400 --> 00:30:15.319
they head into the play in tournament
because that's where they're gonna be. Gonna

377
00:30:15.319 --> 00:30:21.720
be in that eighth seed and taken
on either Minnesota or the Denver Nuggets.

378
00:30:22.559 --> 00:30:26.519
There are no good options there.
But I don't know if you want to

379
00:30:26.559 --> 00:30:29.720
go up against the reigning MVP,
who may go back to back this year

380
00:30:30.000 --> 00:30:34.200
Nicola yok Carl Anthony Towns and Pat
bab and what he's been able to do

381
00:30:34.279 --> 00:30:38.920
in Minnesota. That's no joke either. They're playing some of the best basketball

382
00:30:40.920 --> 00:30:45.319
in the league right now. More
Clippers stock next, all right here on

383
00:30:45.359 --> 00:30:52.799
the Patriot aml A sello. Don't
know how you do, so let us

384
00:30:52.799 --> 00:30:57.519
sell that will make me want to
shoots. This is LA Clippers Basketball Quarter

385
00:30:57.640 --> 00:31:03.240
three for the time he got it. This is the official home of your

386
00:31:03.559 --> 00:31:07.960
La Clippers. I got my glob
bone but didn't get out. They got

387
00:31:08.039 --> 00:31:17.799
a call from good Day to see
Paul George back up the court and Clippers

388
00:31:17.839 --> 00:31:22.279
you know arena. We'll go back
in the Clippers suck. I've had a

389
00:31:22.359 --> 00:31:30.359
Moslin looking at the stat for you. Here come from Clippers pr and the

390
00:31:30.400 --> 00:31:37.319
Elias Sports Euros. Paul George's thirty
four points to night most ever by a

391
00:31:37.400 --> 00:31:44.640
player who has missed their team's previous
forty plus games within one season. I

392
00:31:44.720 --> 00:31:48.720
mean even when MJ came back after
the first retirement, he only had nineteen

393
00:31:48.839 --> 00:31:52.960
for Chicago. Not just saying okay, okay, we're still waiting on more

394
00:31:53.000 --> 00:31:57.319
of the reserves of the Cavalry to
show up for the Clippers. We're hoping

395
00:31:57.400 --> 00:32:01.359
we'll get good news from Norman Powell, who I did see dribbling around during

396
00:32:01.400 --> 00:32:07.359
timeouts and Kawhi Leonard eventually, which
is six games left here in the regular

397
00:32:07.440 --> 00:32:12.319
season before the play in tournament for
the Clippers. But what a comeback,

398
00:32:13.480 --> 00:32:19.400
What a moment in this twenty twenty
two season, and what a performance from

399
00:32:19.400 --> 00:32:25.640
your superstar and Paul George, who
did not miss a beat he has thirty

400
00:32:25.720 --> 00:32:30.640
four, twenty of them came in
that third quarter. And the Clippers do

401
00:32:30.759 --> 00:32:36.079
it again to the Utah Jazz.
And they had been thinking about that twenty

402
00:32:36.160 --> 00:32:39.559
five point come back from the playoffs
last year. Quinn Snyder said that pregame

403
00:32:40.200 --> 00:32:45.920
great head coach that had been on
their mind all summer long, and it

404
00:32:46.079 --> 00:32:52.319
happens to them again tonight. This
is a team that just led the Clippers

405
00:32:52.359 --> 00:32:58.559
by as many as forty one a
week ago in Utah, and tonight the

406
00:32:58.680 --> 00:33:06.240
Clippers do it again. Unreal,
surreal, unbelievable, whatever you want to

407
00:33:06.359 --> 00:33:10.240
use to describe these Clippers comebacks.
Who've been spoiled a little bit. Clipper

408
00:33:10.319 --> 00:33:15.880
Nation, this is not normal.
Embrace it, Enjoy it. Appreciate it

409
00:33:15.599 --> 00:33:21.079
and appreciate Paul George coming back,
and something he said postgame struck me talking

410
00:33:21.119 --> 00:33:24.960
about Kobe Bryant. His favorite player
growing up, favorite team was the Clippers.

411
00:33:25.039 --> 00:33:32.519
Favorite player was Kobe Bryant and the
warrior he was with Battling through injuries,

412
00:33:34.720 --> 00:33:38.240
getting his dislocated finger snapped back into
place by Gary Vedi during a game.

413
00:33:39.319 --> 00:33:45.160
Not many were as tough as him
mentally physically, and Paul George wants

414
00:33:45.240 --> 00:33:51.720
to make sure he's following in the
footsteps of one of his heroes and leaving

415
00:33:51.759 --> 00:33:55.359
everything out there. And he returned
from that UCLA injury after three and a

416
00:33:55.359 --> 00:34:00.720
half months, pass all the tests. Tonight, Tonight with blind Colors,

417
00:34:00.839 --> 00:34:06.480
Clippers come back down twenty five.
They win one fifteen over the Utah Jazz.

418
00:34:06.559 --> 00:34:08.400
Before we get out of here,
I do want to thank the Clippers

419
00:34:08.559 --> 00:34:13.320
