Parents madness pure once again, He's Clippers Talk. I got calls on Clippers
Talk, immediate reaction and analysis to today's game. That's what he's capable of.
Hosted by your pre and post game voice of the La Clippers, Adam
Osler, Oh Vizza Zoo Bots doing his best. It came in a tumbo
impression in Houston as Big Zoo who goes first career high with six block shots
and the Clippers win ninety nine to ninety eight over the Rockets. Welcome in
the Clippers Talk. I'm Ata Moslin. You know what in light of that
game from a Vizza Zoo Bots, I'm blocking everyone on Twitter tonight. I'm
blocking all the costs tonight. No, we'll get to your phone calls.
Eight sixty six nine eight seven two five seventy eight six six nine eight seven
two five seventy is the phone number coming out. We got postgame audio from
Big Zoo. You'll also hear from Coach Lou and Jamal Christopher from the Lab
the jam the pod will be here. What a dominating performance from Raviza Zoo
boss. Now, he has gone for five blocks multiple times before, but
this one stands alone. This was his masterpiece. Six block shots, not
just six blocks, impactful blocks against some of the one of at least the
best high flyers in the game. He was in the dunk contest, Jalen
Green. I thought he should have been taken number one overall. We'll see
what happens higher ceiling with him than Kade. But Jalen Green tried to posterize
Zoo multiple times. But what does Zoo say? What do you say?
What do you say? We got the outby We'll get to that too,
he said, not in my house. He made Toyota Center his house,
a place that to Kembi Matumbo used to patrol late in his career in the
paint and he was still good on that end of the floor as a Houston
rocket. It didn't fall off like that. But Jalen Green. The block,
the first one on Green. Actually both of them are great, but
the first one, in particular, the lateral movement from zoobots to block that
shot in the first half, I mean it was early third quarter, just
ridiculous. We've known he's a very good rim protector. He's always been top
ten at times, he's been top five at times. He's actually been top
three. You look at field goal percentage by the opposition within six feet.
Big Zoo's great in that area. There was a year that only Rudy Gobert
was better than him over the last three seasons with the Clippers, but he's
been playing some of his best basketball right now. And this really started on
that sixth game No Eight game road trip in Denver when he had the thirty
two point game against Nikolokich and Zoo took his game to another level. Yeah,
the Clippers lost that one, but he's had multiple double doubles since then.
In fact, he's now had four in the last six games. After
he gets fifteen boards, a season high for Zubots as well. So really
you can make the argument it's the best game he's played this season. They
don't win it without him. The Clippers were down by four at the half.
They weren't playing good basketball, especially defensively, and Zubots took it upon
himself to change that with the intensity, the passion he played, with the
relentlessness of getting to boards and getting it to the paint and making the Houston
Rockets feel his presence whenever they attacked. To block Jalen Green twice to not
get called for a foul because they were clean, as was the one late
on Christian Wood. They were reviewed it potential game saving play. There was
sixteen seconds left. It was overturned after coach Luce challenged it. But in
particular Jalen Green, he went at him baseline in the fourth quarter. It
was he and zoo all alone, and somehow beatsa zu Bots met him at
the summit, just at the Apex found a way to get all ball.
I mean, I was going wild here in the studio tweeting out the Bill
Murray rejection and rushmore when he pusts the phone down for a second to swat
the little kid. That's what it looked like with the Vizza zoo Bots going
at Jalen Green like that. Just stuff you don't see. I wouldn't be
surprised if it's top ten on Sports Center tonight. Should be Six blocks is
something to behold. But the players he was doing it against had one against
Tate as well in the fourth quarter. He only scored one point in the
fourth. Zubots had more blocks than points in the fourth and that's what mattered
Mo By the way, he went five of five from the field to get
those fourteen points. He completely staved the Clippers in this one. Because I
gotta be honest, and I was tweeting this out as well at follow out
of May. They weren't playing their best basketball, and that's an understatement,
especially in that first quarter. They came out flat. They had just nineteen
points in the first Things actually started off well. I shouldn't say they came
out flat. They ended the first quarter in the last seven minutes and thirty
six seconds of the first scoring just six points and they could not find the
bottom of the net. And we're down twenty eight to nineteen to Houston team
that had lost twelve of thirteen now thirteen of fourteen. That's at the bottom
of the Western Conference. And I said, you let a young team like
this feel good about themselves, gather some confidence up, and it's going to
turn into a dog fight. And that's exactly what it was because Houston never
really went away. They shot a ridiculous seventeen of forty two from three.
They take a lot of threes. They don't typically make a lot, but
they got hot and they had their opportunities late, but the Clippers and a
Visa Zubos just buckled down. And there was some clutch plays by Reggie Jackson
that step back with about a minute and a half left, tough shot.
He had nine points in the fourth quarter to nine in the third as well,
but a mere coffee, a couple of three pointers in the fourth,
Roco another big three in the fourth. Just he's had this knack for hitting
those big shots, regardless if it's a corner three. Right now, he's
just sinking them. As a Clipper and somebody else who started over five and
finished one of seven from the outside, Luke Nard, Well, that one
came at the ninety three mark, but the Clippers were down nine within the
first thirty seconds of the fourth quarter. The trolled by as many as thirteen
in this game. But nobody's had more comebacks this season, I want to
say, than when you're down at least ten than the Clippers and being down
to the Houston Rockets like that. I didn't like some of the effort in
the first half. It looked like they were in slow motion. I thought
Terrence Man started to get them into gear in that second quarter where he had
seven of his nine points. Isaiah Hartenstein, by the way into the first
quarter into the second had ten straight at one point for the Clippers. He
brought that energy against his former team twelve points. He had two blocks himselfs
six of seven from the field. But Terrence Man, when he got into
it with Tate, I thought to myself, I don't know if this is
a good thing. First of all, Houston not too far from Dallas.
There's bad blood between Terence Man and Luca Dontch and some of that that hate,
that good old fashioned to hate those two have between each other. I
felt like the spirit of Luca Dontch was in Tate when he pushed down Terrence
Man. But it became more than just one out of eighty two for Houston
at that point because the intensity ratcheted up. These teams start to not like
each other out there. We'll see what happens Tuesday night. But also in
that second quarter, Marcus Morris was almost called for a flagrant he got into
it with I want to say it was Matthews. So things got chippy and
the Houston Rockets gave their best effort out there, and while they have struggled
a lot this season, they played well, especially from the outside when shots
are falling like that, when Kenny Martin Jr. Goes three of three from
the outside. When Matthews goes four of eight from the outside, it's gonna
keep you in ball games. When he was shooting forty two three pointers,
they shot better from three than from two. It's crazy, but that's part
of their game. Clippers, though, did just enough to survive, and
a pizza zu Bots was brilliant. This was one of his best performances as
a Clipper, and some of those blocks tonight were special. We're gonna be
talking about for a bit here. Okay, we'll say a quick time out.
We'll get to your phone calls eight six six nine eight seven two five
seventy eight six six nine eight seven two five seventies of the phone number,
or you can get to me at follow adam as still to come. You'll
hear from Big Zoo, Zisambo Zoe block well done, Zach and Jamal Christopher
will be here. If you're on hold, stay on hold. We'll get
to your phone calls. Next. Clippers win ninety nine to ninety eight in
game one of this two game miniseries in Houston. I'm at a Maslin and
you're listening to Clippers stock here on AM five seventy ol Sports Zack's Backs LA
Clippers basketball continue safe time shot down the stretch. This is the official home
of the Los Angeles Clippers. Saving for coffee war. Now Jackson on the
right wing will tend to shoot ninety seconds to play. Clippers look going to
go back in front here Jackson, the crossover, the step back, the
twenty footer. Oh it's good, Reggie Jackson, tough bucket and mister June,
mister clutch again with twenty five. I know we missed a free throw,
so the coffee. The Clippers did just enough to hold on and win
in that shot maybe the biggest of the ball game. Step back jumper from
Reggie Axon Jackson at the one twenty five mark of the fourth put the Clippers
up by two. They win by one in Houston. Final score. Clippers
ninety nine, Rockets ninety eight. Welcome back into your post games show.
This is Clipper Stock. I'm Adam Moslin eight six six nine eight seven two
five seventy eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy Coming up in just
moments you'll hear from a Visa Zoobots post game. But I want to talk
about what type of streak. He's been on the groove he's been in the
last couple of weeks, because it wasn't just the six blocks a career high
tonight, it was the game I mentioned against the Denver Nuggets and Nikolok where
he had thirty two, but the seventeen point game against the New York Knicks,
but recently in just the last two weeks that when they got against the
Golden State Warriors, he had eighteen and eight and he just punished Golden State
for going small and now showed his growth as a player because he couldn't stay
on the court against Golden State a couple of years ago, Doctor Rivers would
take him out because they simply would make him pay for going big, and
he always wasn't always sound with defensive assignments. But then he outplayed DeAndre Eighton
in Phoenix the very next night, a game the Clippers almost had, and
then tonight fourteen and fifteen with the career high six blocks on five of five
shooting, and the Clippers ninety nine to ninety eight win the victory where they
didn't play their best basketball by any stretch of the imagination, but a Visa
Zoobots played some of his and dominate it really on both ends of the floor.
All right, let's go to Jordan and Corona. Jordan, you're on
Clippers Stop without Amaston. How are you hey? I was just agreeing with
you how we did not play our best basketball, but we came out with
the W. You know, we gotta for Tuesday cut down on those turnovers.
I think what was it like nineteen or twenty turnovers? Damn, that's
a lot of turnovers. Damn is right and leading to twenty three points.
Because this young Houston team, that is one area where they thrive. They
they can make you pay for each and every live ball turnover. Especially Oh
yes, and they did tonight. All right, Jordan, I appreciate the
phone call Mitching and Jerzy Mitch. What's up? You're on Clipper Stop without
am Austin Mitch? Pick up that phone. Yeah, yeah, my mistake.
I'm sorry. I'm forgive me. Are you doing? But I'm good?
Match? What did you think of the game? Dray stats? I
think he zoom back. I'd love to see him get a triple double,
but would be with blocks. We can think the lake is all the time.
We can thank him for that trade we got the best of them.
We gotta get to that sixth seed. Do you think so? And we
were getting a three stars. I was gonna say four, but I know
scrope is out for you. Do you think we get one of us three
stars? In fact, you see for the playoffs. I hope so,
match, but I have no intail on that, no inside information that I
can give you. But I hope so because with how well this team has
been playing winners of five of six. Now Surging was just nineteen games left.
Remember after the All Star break, nobody had less games remaining than your
Los Angeles Clippers because of how condensed and how tough the schedule was before that.
It eased us up a little bit. They still have one more five
and seven coming up, but they got Houston again Tuesday night, and right
now in the position that they are in just trying to get the seventh spot
from Minnesota in the West, these games are extremely important. So this victory,
this dog fight of a win where you just escape and take it anyway
you can get it against the Houston Rockets when the Clippers weren't playing their best
significant but Vitsa zubots he was. He was playing some of his best basketball
defensively that I've ever seen from him. Those blocks from Jail and Green were
special. Here he was postgame speaking with Christina Pink on Valley Sports and do
a career high six blocks for you in today's game. But he almost didn't
get the sixth one. A big controversial though. You guys had to challenge
it in order for you to get it. But you knew it was clean.
What did you see on the play? It was like fifty seconds to
go, and uh, yeah, yeah, you know, what do you
feel about that? I feel great, I feel great. I'm I'm lucky
to play alongside you man. But uh, you know, it was fifteen
seconds to go. He was going for a dunk for a layup and uh
or by two, you know, there's there's nothing to think about it.
You gotta go for it and uh close my eyes and UH made a wish
to hit the ball, and I hit it. I'm kidding though, but
uh, you know I got a ball. I got all ball. I
knew I knew it was clean since you know, ever since they called that
uh stuff. So yeah, ro coach, but uh, you know I
knew it was clean. Coaches trusting me, and we gotta we gotta win,
no kidding around. Good luck to anybody that was trying to challenge you
at the rim in this game. I mean they asked you about the block
too. But what got into you tonight with your rim protection and your timing?
Huh nothing. I knew we needed this one will be we'll being around
five hundred for a long time, and uh, I just wanted to get
one game about five and we had a good chance tonight. It was a
tough game, but uh, you know, guys were locked ten, We
were good defensively, and uh that's it. Not the last one. Of
course against the Rockets. You face them again right here again on Tuesday.
How do you keep that momentum going. It's gonna be a tough game again.
They're the plays super fast, and uh you know they can get hot
from a three point line, so we gotta be locked in. We gotta
run him off better from a three point line, and uh gotta protect the
paints, get all the rebounds, and uh, I think we'll have a
good chance to win it. All right, thanks so much. Now,
remember four or five years ago at the World Cup and Tim Howard, the
keeper for the men's national team, was going viral all the time because of
these ridiculous saves, and people were superimposing him and photo shopping him into other
situations that need to be saved, like Kanye going up on stage when Taylor
Swift was accepting that award and saying it should have gone to Beyonce. I
think we needed that same energy for a Vizza Zoo Bots right now. After
he goes for a career high six blocks in this one Clippers win by one,
after he has a game saving block late against someone who's also not a
slouch in Christian Wood. I don't know how Detroit let him go. Casuals
may not realize that he's one of the better players in the NBA at his
position, especially because he can shoot from the outside. But to get that
block on Christian Wood, to block Jalen Green, who was looking to put
a Vizza Zoo Bots on a poster or a fathead or an upper debt card,
unbelievable effort from Zoo. All right, we'll take quick brass tambo right
now, We'll take your time out. We'll come back. We'll get some
more of your phone calls. Eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy
eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy and Jamal Christopher will be here
from the lab the jam the Pod had Doctor schap on Friday night. After
the Clippers beat the Lakers late tonight, they go into Houston win late ninety
nine to ninety eight. This is Clipper stuck. I'm out of Moslinds and
you're listening to Ham five seventy only Spurs Mountains. This is LA Clippers basketball
quarter three for the time he got it. This is the official home of
your LA Clippers seven twenty to play shooter ring right middle outside for green.
In a month, they could drive down and left down each other. We
flocked again. Sue Bots did it again. Jackson up ahead, coming ten
al right, wait three he buries in. What a sequence for the Clippers
and they lead ninety to eighty eight off the defense from Sue Block Party b
y O b Be's a zoobos within six flocks a career Hi and the Clippers
win by one, ninety nine to ninety eight in Houston over the Rockets.
What happened to this band? Welcome into your post game show. This is
Clipper stock. I'm at a monslad eight six six nine eight seven two five
seventy eight six six ninety seven two five seventy coming up. We'll get back
to your phone calls, Tages, I see you, you're on hold.
We'll get to you, but first I want to get to our friend Jamal
Christopher didn't take too long to get him back on this time. We made
an arrangement as in, I'll just ask more often. He's at jam at
jam Christopher now so he hasn't been blocked by Visa Zoo boss luckily, but
follow him at Jams Christopher. He covers the Clippers for the Lab, the
Jam, the pod. Jamal, I appreciate you coming on after this one.
How are you? I'm good man, I'm good. That was a
good a good win. We've been playing some other good ball as of late.
That's five out of six. Awesome game by Zoop. Yeah, I'm
good man. How are you? Everything's perfectly fine here, I mean a
vizza Zubos turned that game around in that third quarter. The blocks on Jalen
Green and I can't emphasize enough, Jamal. And you're a basketball head.
You you go deep with it and know these guys. But for people that
don't realize it, uh, you know Jalen Green one of the best dunkers
in the league. I know he didn't show out at the All Star Game,
but for Viza Zoobos to have two blocks on him, that is saying
something. Those are highlight blocks. Yeah, yeah, absolutely, man,
especially when it comes to a guy like Jalen Green, who when it comes
to that, his reputation precedes him right, Like, you don't even have
to be a super in the no guy to kind of understand what Jalen Green
is coming with when he attacked the Rim since his high school and what are
the ignite days he's he's been only do that. I think Paul George once
said that it's almost as a Jalen Green comes off of a trampoline, like
it's crazy. And so for Zoo to even challenge some of those was awesome,
awesome at the Rim all night. He had another one on Christian Wood
that I thought was fantastic. Yeah, I not enough good words can be
said about Zuba night at the Rim that was that was an incredible performance.
Not only did he block the rockets, but the haters that we see on
a visa zu bots on a nightly basis on Twitter. I don't really get
it. I don't understand why there's this faction of Clippers fans that don't like
Zoobots or don't think he's as impactful as he is. I feel the same
way about Marcus Morris with some people, but a visa Zubots has been one
of the better rim protectors for some time now. This is nothing new.
Six blocks is but he's been good. Yeah. Yeah, I'm just as
lost as you are when it comes to that, man. But I think
defense is a bit hard, harder to assess, especially from if you're not
someone who's completely ingratiated with my basketball culture and you can't really depict and break
down coverages, you might not understand what Zoo Back brings on a nice night
basis. But I think the Clippers being a top seven defense this year with
no Kawhi Leonard, with no Paul George speaks volumes, uh to what the
Clippers have been able to do with Zoe Back in the lineup. I always
like to point to last year if people don't remember, like, uh,
yeah, I think it was last year we started. We started surge at
first, and our defense was awful. We we put Zoo in the starting
lineup over surge and then we just didn't look back. That's how good Zoo
was on the defensive end. So yeah, I don't get it. I
don't get it, but you know, I'm I'm definitely glad they he's with
the Clippers. He's still young, he's still getting better, and I still
think that Lou's best days are ahead of him. Man. Jamal Christopher is
our guest here on Clippers Talk after they win game one of the two game
miniseries in Houston ninety nine to ninety eight, and the Clippers are about five
hundred at thirty two and thirty one for the first time since January first.
Jamal, Now, I know you predicted this, and you said Roco's gonna
fit in seamlessly with this Clippers team, and it's gonna be so productive that
they're gonna need him down in the fourth quarter Layton games like this. But
okay, okay, we've all been wrong here and there, but Robert coming
said, look, I thought he'd be good. I never thought anything like
this where he has been critical for them, especially during winning time. Oh
man, I yeah, you want to talk about like egg all over your
face? I I because like the crazy part about Rocco is like the game
before we got him, he played the Lakers and like he did everything,
but like some of his like possessions were just like so bad. Dude.
I was just like, man, he doesn't look good anymore. And then
we get him like the very next day or the day after that, and
I was just like, no, you can't be serious. But yeah,
he and it was almost instant like from the first game that he played with
the Clippers. He's he does everything, he doesn't have everything. He puts
out so many fires defensively, He's even shown a capacity to put pressure on
the rim off the bound, He's making open shots. It's it's like we
have two Nicolas Battoons now, and I you know, I think I called
it on Twitter to day. I said an embarrassment of Riches on the wing
to have both of those guys on the team. Then you got Marcus Morris
Peg and Kahire sit like it's it's just it's real. It really is wing
shot And so I'm I'm glad we got Rocco. Man, He's he's incredible.
Uh. I can't say enough about the stuff that I've seen from Rocco
since we come in a Clipper, and I really do hope he's a Clipper
for a long time because he's incredible. He had the tip I don't know
if it was to Reggie Jackson or Terrence Man in the Lakers game, the
tip rebound the quick play for an easy one. He had another one where
he saved a possession tonight, and eventually I think a mere Coffee was the
beneficiary, who I think is also kind of in that mold of batoumb and
Roco. They got three multi purpose guys there, but really Terrence Man does
a little bit of everything to help them, and he's been so good.
Speaking of that Lakers game, but even tonight with just nine points, he
had seven of them in that second quarter and was applying pressure and getting down
hill. As coach Lou loves to me, that's when the game started to
change, because they were down by thirteen and just four by the time halftime
came around, and that was a lot of Terrence Man. Yeah, yeah,
I think this was not I don't think this was the best Terrence Man
game, but that stress that you're speaking about absolutely critical to getting to win
today. I think we were struggling to get some mojo and that's something that
Terrence Man can from by it on a nightly basis. There are things that
he doesn't have in this game, but there's there's a certain level of athleticism
energy that Terrence Man brings on the nightly basis at the Clippers need, yeah,
juice like like he can he can go Man, And he's been so
good during this stretch of the last six games or so. I said this
like a few days ago. This is a Terrence Man that we've been looking
for off seasons, you know what I mean, Like he's been He's been
doing everything. Uh, He's always been a really good rebounder, but the
rim pressure. He's looking for a shot more really since the trade, and
he's been playing a lot more point guard since the trade. It looks like
that's opened up a lot for him and he's taking full advantage. Jamal Christopher,
our guest here on Clippers stock after they win by one in Houston over
the Rockets. Jamal, I'm wondering because I got this call a little bit
earlier, but how far do you think they can climb? The schedule is
easier down the stretch. They still have one more five and seven. They
got Houston coming up obviously again on Tuesday. Minnesota's in front of them by
one game in that seventh spot. How far do you think they can climb?
Where do they need to get to you in your opinion, considering just
hoping nobody else gets hurt, which is a big hope with this team,
I please. I would say the sixth seed is a long shot, but
I really want the seventh seed, man, I really want the seventh seed.
If we get the seventeed, that that guarantees that all we have to
do is win a game at Crypto to get in the playoffs. Yeah,
if we get the eighth seed, I think that gets a little dicey because
the Timberwolves are are good team, and then you're gonna have to go in
Minnesota to win. And then if you don't win that, then you're gonna
have to play either CJ and b I and the Pelicans or Lebron and NAD
and the Lakers. And that's not a guarantee either. We're better teams than
them, but in a one game scenario, anything can happen. So I
really would love for that game to be at Staples, I mean Crypto and
you know, go from there. But I think the seventh seed definitely is
in reach right now, and the Clippers had they should have this cycle seventh.
It's right there, it's right there for the taking, and it starts
with the next one against the Rockets, which is gonna be a tough one.
It's tough to be the team three times in a row, especially in
a short stint, but they'll definitely have a chance to do it, and
that'll go a long way towards getting it. One more for you here,
Jamal, because I see people at times down on Reggie, and I know
he had five more turnovers, But to me, it's just you take the
good with the bad, because the good outweighs that. Even though he has
struggled at times this season, he's still been imperative with the guys that have
been out, especially late in games. He hit another big jumper on this
one. But what can you say about Reggie Jackson just the two sides of
acting Jackson that we get well. I think as of late, Reggie Jackson
has been a lot better. He had some I know he had some turnovers,
but he had some big fourth quarter buckets against the Lakers. He had
a big fourth quarter to night. I think The thing with Reggie that we
have to keep in mind is if I'm I'm mistaking you know, Reggie,
He's he's He's been asked to a lot. He's being over extending. With
the way the roster is, with the guys that are out, we're asking
a lot of Reggie Jackson. I keep staying on Twitter that we needed fund
a way to get Reggie some some some resh because like these long stretches are
usually when the turnovers and the mistakes and the decision making starts a falter when
he plays those long stretches the ball. But Reggie Jackson definitely provides, Like
his skill set is something that we don't have much of on the roster,
especially with like Norman and PG and Kawhi out. Some of I can off
the dribble, put pressure on the rim, make shots off the dribble,
find other guys like He's. We need it, We need where he provides,
even if it's at the expensive of some turnovers here and there. I
think he's been better as a white And yeah, I think you kind of
said it. We kind of just gotta roll it, roll with it.
Man. He's he's doing a lot. He's being asked to do a lot,
and at the end of the day, you can't ask for more than
what you're getting from him, because I truly do believe he is giving you
all that he can. And when a player is doing that, you gotta
take the good with the bat, and as of late, I think it's
been a lot more good than bad. He is Jamal Christopher. Follow him
at jam Christopher on Twitter. He covers the Clippers for the Lob, the
Jam the Pod. He's an artist and an analyst and better at both.
In the check Jamal, thanks for doing this to night on Clippers Talk.
I appreciate you, man Ah, thank you. Ida appreciate it always.
Bro coming up next, we'll get back to your phone calls eight six six
nine eight seven two five seventy eight six six ninety seven two five seventy.
Clippers went in Houston ninety nine to ninety eight. They're from coach lew as
well. This is Clippers Stock here on M five seventy l A Sports,
not LA. Clippers Basketball continues six times. Shot down the stretch. This
is the official home of the Los Angeles Clippers. Big Zoo comes through with
six blocks, a new career high plus fourteen points fifteen boards, win five
to five from the field, and the Clippers win by one in Houston in
game one of this two game mini series on the road in Htown. Welcome
back in the Clippers stock. I've had a Austin eight six six ninety eight
seven two five seventy four. Gauty here tagus in walnuts Agus. You're a
Clippers stock. What's up, hey, Adam Man. I was proud of
Zoo Bokay, Yes, I really wanted them to get that win with given
how he played, and that block was icing on the cake outside of the
Zoo Roku in the fourth he got that three and those I think like two
offensive emails that were really key, and I think one one play right before
the block, I think I'm your coffee got that steal. I think that
was a play in the game on the floor that was huge, Like Bazoo
was on the floor for that jump ball. Also, so that energy when
guys played that hard like it tends to permeate throughout the squad. Yeah,
yeah, I mean that's steal was under the radar because Zoo was Zoo's block,
But that was a huge by a mirror and uh, two kids are
gonna ask you one, is it. I would love to see Zoo kind
of like that position closer to the basket. I feel like maybe it's just
a lost art of the post path. But he concealed the defender closer to
the basket, we could get like big ten easy points a game, which
we desperately need with our big guys out all right, he has been better
in that area. He's been getting ten points per game this month really the
last two months, and it's been more reliable. There was one possession in
the first half our producer of Zach Occaldy took note of it where he had
Eric Gordon on him and he gave the ball up. He didn't back him
down. He didn't go old school enough and just get on that block and
go to work when you have a mismatch like that. So he can still
improve even with the game like he had in this one. Yeah, I
agree, And I was just thinking with all our guys back, if we
needed one stuff and in the final final few seconds, is are we going
