WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.159 --> 00:00:06.240 Time for a postgame. Look, it's your La Clippers. This is Clippers 2 00:00:06.280 --> 00:00:09.960 Locker Road, brought to you by Cedars Sinai, the official health partner of 3 00:00:09.960 --> 00:00:15.039 the La Clippers, and by Patschonga, official travel casino of the LA Clippers. 4 00:00:15.320 --> 00:00:19.280 Breaking down today's action with the pre and post game voice. If you're 5 00:00:19.440 --> 00:00:25.920 La Clippers, They're locking in every game, every night. Adam Osland Clippers 6 00:00:25.960 --> 00:00:30.879 fall once again, this time one thirty three to one sixteen to the Indiana 7 00:00:30.879 --> 00:00:36.679 Pacers here at Crypto dot Com Arena, where the Clippers got blown out in 8 00:00:36.719 --> 00:00:42.880 another fourth quarter where they just looked goa went into the fourth quarter trailing by 9 00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:47.920 just eight when they were down by sixteen less than two minutes into it. 10 00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:52.200 Welcome into your Clippers postgame show. I'm Adam Oslin coming up on the Patriot 11 00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:55.560 Am eleven fifty. We will have Clippers stock for you. Eight sixty six 12 00:00:55.640 --> 00:00:59.840 make it eight seven seven five two zero eleven fifty eight seven seven five twos 13 00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:03.640 year eleven fifty is the phone number. Right now. We are rejoined by 14 00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:08.640 your radio voice of the Clippers in Carlo Jimenez. Well we keep saying it, 15 00:01:08.719 --> 00:01:11.840 Carlo, We hope this is rock bottom. We hope this is the 16 00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:15.040 worst of it, but there's eleven games left in the season right now, 17 00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:21.040 and it just looks like a Clippers team early on a fourth quarters that isn't 18 00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:23.640 mentally tough enough to hang in there once they get down and fight back. 19 00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:27.000 Yeah. I mean, you're on the second game of a back to back, 20 00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:30.599 but so is Indiana, right, so both teams are playing with tired 21 00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:38.879 legs. It felt like Adam the Clippers just struggled to start fast in all 22 00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:42.680 three fattists of this Bowl game. The beginning of the game, Indiana goes 23 00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:45.480 on the lead, then the Clippers climb back. They take an eight point 24 00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:49.040 advantage. Indiana starts the second quarter strong. In the fourth quarter on an 25 00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:52.480 eight to zero run, the Clippers starting quarters have been tough. I know 26 00:01:52.519 --> 00:01:56.159 you're trying to preserve legs come playoff time, and know it feels like the 27 00:01:56.159 --> 00:02:00.239 only thing set in stone right now when the Western Conference is playing New Orleans. 28 00:02:00.319 --> 00:02:02.359 But the Clippers have to figure out a way to play a little bit 29 00:02:02.400 --> 00:02:07.919 more consistency come before the end of this one. Again, You're not winning 30 00:02:07.960 --> 00:02:13.120 an NBA championship in March. You have to play right. Comes to April, 31 00:02:13.159 --> 00:02:15.599 and you hope this feel out period right now gives you an opportunity to 32 00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:19.639 figure out what you need to do well, what you need to work on. 33 00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:22.560 But when it feels like at them at times, the Clippers are kind 34 00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:25.680 of hitting their head against the wall, making the same mistakes and new ones 35 00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:30.479 are emerging at the same time. I'm not sure how you fix this, 36 00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:34.599 but the Clippers have an opportunities next eleven games to figure it out before it's 37 00:02:34.639 --> 00:02:36.879 too little, too late. Look, we know the guys care. We 38 00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:38.479 saw early on in this ball game. I think this was late in the 39 00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:43.199 first half or early third quarter Kawhi Leonard get into it with the Vitza Zubos 40 00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:46.919 on a miscoverage defensively or Kawhi had to help out and get the block, 41 00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:51.039 and he immediately said something to a Viza Zubos. These guys want to fix 42 00:02:51.080 --> 00:02:54.319 this. Yep, there's obvious frustration out there. The problem is there's talking 43 00:02:54.360 --> 00:02:58.960 about it and then there's doing it. And that is something coach lou has 44 00:02:59.039 --> 00:03:02.719 stressed over the last week. And that sense of urgency simply has to kick 45 00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:06.800 in. With eleven games left, where the Clippers are free falling down the 46 00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:09.560 standings to the point where they can find themselves in the play in, which 47 00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:15.080 would seem unfathomable if we go back just a month ago, given they were 48 00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:19.479 in a position to possibly be the first Clippers team ever to have a number 49 00:03:19.479 --> 00:03:23.319 one seed. That's not happening. A top three seed is really out of 50 00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:25.479 reach at this point, and they're just trying to hold on to the four 51 00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:30.080 spot where they're currently tied I believe with the Pelicans, who have the tiebreaker 52 00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:35.159 over them. So this is concerning. This is def con one. We're 53 00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:38.240 not gonna sugarcoat this, but we do know the message has been there from 54 00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:42.800 coach Lou, and that is what's been interesting the last couple of weeks, 55 00:03:42.919 --> 00:03:45.840 last couple of months. This Clippers team, for whatever reason, they're not 56 00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:49.919 receiving it and it's not playing out on the court right now. Listen, 57 00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:53.280 you talked about a pregame and it might come down as I think we see 58 00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:58.199 a lineup change next couple of games at some point, like because ty Lou 59 00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:01.719 understands he's you're talking talking about adjustments. This is a coach who made an 60 00:04:01.719 --> 00:04:05.719 adjustment to win three to one down to Golden State in the finals, something 61 00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:10.159 no other team has done. He understands it. Sometimes in the season you 62 00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:13.800 have to make brass decisions. I think the question becomes for him, Adam, 63 00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:17.160 do at one point if you know you're locked into the four or five 64 00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:19.560 matchup, or do you want to show your hand? Do you want to 65 00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:24.160 make that adjustment? Now feels like the Clippers kind of have to because the 66 00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:28.319 pressure is coming. You look at the rest of the standings. Phoenix sits 67 00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:30.199 at eight, you play them two more times, You play Sacramento once, 68 00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:34.240 who sits back of you at six. The Clippers have to figure out a 69 00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:39.160 way to turn this turn this around. The Rockets are surging right now. 70 00:04:39.160 --> 00:04:42.360 They're probably not gonna catch the Clippers, but that could be a first round 71 00:04:42.399 --> 00:04:46.560 matchup if the Clippers fall one more spot. At some point, the Clippers 72 00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:50.399 have to make a brash decision. They have to to do something out of 73 00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:54.800 the box. And I think that's coming right now because they got to iron 74 00:04:54.839 --> 00:04:58.439 out some of these issues before April fourteenth comes. Yeah, I don't think 75 00:04:58.439 --> 00:05:02.360 they have the luxury being able to hold stuff back till the first round playoff 76 00:05:02.439 --> 00:05:05.639 series because they may not have one. They may be in a play in 77 00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:11.519 situation, which will really be worst case scenario for a team that has looked 78 00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:14.800 tired at times. You were expecting to get that week off as the playing 79 00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:17.160 games are going on before the start of the first round. But things are 80 00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:20.199 too close on the standings right now. Sacramento's right behind them, Dallas is 81 00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:25.600 right behind them, The Phoenix Suns are right behind them. Every team in 82 00:05:25.639 --> 00:05:31.399 the Western Conference outside the Golden State Warriors are playing better than the Clippers over 83 00:05:31.399 --> 00:05:34.120 the last ten games. Clippers are four and six over the last ten. 84 00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:38.639 Every other team outside the Golden State Warriors tied with them in that area also 85 00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:42.519 four and six. Their last ten has been better than the Clippers. It's 86 00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:46.360 really the wrong time for a tailspin like this, but we're hoping the wake 87 00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:49.240 up call comes. That's all we can hope for right now, because this 88 00:05:49.279 --> 00:05:54.439 Clippers team looks night and day different than what we saw a month ago and 89 00:05:54.519 --> 00:05:57.639 certainly two months ago. Here, Carlo, Yeah, and I think I 90 00:05:57.680 --> 00:06:01.279 really appreciate you pointing out the play where Leonard's pointing at Zubots, where Zubots 91 00:06:01.480 --> 00:06:04.759 later in the game had a conversation with George, like there's care out there. 92 00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:09.000 This isn't an apathetic team that doesn't want to figure it out. I 93 00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:12.920 think for a while they were hanging on to the confidence of knowing they could 94 00:06:12.959 --> 00:06:15.240 turn it on. But clearly they feel the pressure, they feel the heat. 95 00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:18.720 They understand that they've been a sub five hundred team the last twenty two 96 00:06:18.759 --> 00:06:23.000 games. So for the Clippers, how can you turn it around? You 97 00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:28.199 did it when you lost six in a row. This is worse maybe than 98 00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:30.079 that six in row. I mean, you haven't lost six in a row. 99 00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:33.240 But the Clippers don't look like the same team they were the standard that 100 00:06:33.279 --> 00:06:38.160 they set. Can you iron out some of these kings? Can you? 101 00:06:38.279 --> 00:06:42.560 Can you figure out ways to do what ty Lou is asking for? And 102 00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:46.040 how does he get that message across to them? Like Ty said, Adham, 103 00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:48.279 they're practicing more. I mean they're coming back from road trips, they're 104 00:06:48.279 --> 00:06:51.600 having practices, they're having walked throughs, they're watching a lot of film. 105 00:06:51.680 --> 00:06:56.480 Ty said, they're watching more film. Clearly that's not getting to their head. 106 00:06:56.680 --> 00:06:59.959 So what out of the box way are you gonna get the message across 107 00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:06.120 us? I am intrigued these final eleven games because you've got to imagine, 108 00:07:06.120 --> 00:07:11.800 Adam, something is going to change with how this team is operating, right 109 00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:15.600 now, No, I think you're right. Desperate times call for desperate measures, 110 00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:18.839 and coach Lou said a few losses ago after the Atlanta game that he 111 00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:23.639 may have to do something different. That was over a week ago. Now 112 00:07:23.879 --> 00:07:27.800 if guys aren't responding to this form of coaching, so I'm with you. 113 00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:31.120 I think we're going to see some more drastic changes down the stretch, which 114 00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:35.720 you would not expect. With eleven games left, some lineup shuffling possibly, 115 00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:41.800 whether it's the starting lineup, bench rotations. I don't know at this point 116 00:07:41.839 --> 00:07:46.040 as we were scrambling here to find answers with what's going on with this Clippers 117 00:07:46.040 --> 00:07:48.160 team. We'll talk about it moving forward. We do have Clippers stock coming 118 00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:51.879 up on the Patriot AM eleven fifty eight seven seven five to two zero eleven 119 00:07:51.959 --> 00:07:57.240 fifty eight seven seven five to two zero eleven fifty is the phone number. 120 00:07:58.399 --> 00:08:05.560 Maybe something in their favor unexpectedly. It's counterintuitive, but maybe this team going 121 00:08:05.639 --> 00:08:11.560 out for the next four on the road can help them band together here Carlo 122 00:08:11.959 --> 00:08:16.319 and find themselves twenty two and twelve at home, twenty two and fourteen on 123 00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:22.519 the road. Don't love that home record right now. Clippers fault tonight one 124 00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:26.800 thirty three to one sixteen to the Indiana Pacers. Carlo, we'll talk to 125 00:08:26.839 --> 00:08:31.279 you on Wednesday with the Clippers in Philadelphia, taken on the seventy six Ers. 126 00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:33.799 Tiptime is at four thirty. We'll have pregame at three thirty. Save 127 00:08:33.919 --> 00:08:37.440 travels, great calts tonight as well. Thank you, Adam. Can't win 128 00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:41.399 a championship now, Clippers got ten games to figure it out. Let's go. 129 00:08:43.320 --> 00:08:48.080 Clippers trying to look for answers. We'll see if we have any. 130 00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:50.759 Coming up here on your postgame locker room show on the Los Angeles Clippers Audio 131 00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:56.759 Network. LA Clippers Basketball is on the two to three Era Continues. You're 132 00:08:56.799 --> 00:09:03.159 listening to the LA Clippers on the LA eight Clippers Audio Network. Clippers lose 133 00:09:03.159 --> 00:09:11.080 one thirty three to one sixteen here at Crypto to the Indiana Pacers, after 134 00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:13.519 losing here to the seventy six Ers in a similar fashion where they pulled away 135 00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:20.080 early in the fourth quarter just yesterday. Welcome back into your Clippers post game 136 00:09:20.080 --> 00:09:22.960 locker room show. I'm Ada Oslin. Coming up on the Patriot AM eleven 137 00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:26.240 fifty. We will have Clippers talk for you eight seven seven five to two 138 00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:31.000 zero eleven fifty eight seven seven five two zero eleven fifty. Remember when the 139 00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:33.960 Dodgers are on AM five to seventy, we will be on the Patriot AM 140 00:09:35.039 --> 00:09:41.240 eleven fifty. Just another listless start to a fourth quarter, which is really 141 00:09:41.240 --> 00:09:43.600 where this game fell apart. There were some moments the end of the third 142 00:09:43.639 --> 00:09:46.559 two where the Clippers had it closer, a little bit of momentum, and 143 00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:56.320 they gave them some shots to Pascal Siakam. But you get down sixteen at 144 00:09:56.399 --> 00:10:00.879 are minus eight in the first minute and forty six seconds of the fourth quarter, 145 00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:07.080 that's game. It can't happen. You can't allow them to double the 146 00:10:07.159 --> 00:10:11.440 lead in less than two minutes to start off the fourth. And look, 147 00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:13.840 I thought there were some issues there. We'll talk about it on the Patriot 148 00:10:13.879 --> 00:10:18.159 AMLM fifty with Clippers talk. But I was surprised to see three non shooters 149 00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:24.879 on the floor and no Kawhi and no Paul George to start that fourth quarter 150 00:10:26.600 --> 00:10:33.159 zoobots, Russ and PJ. Tucker basically through not shooters. Right now, 151 00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:39.759 well, we have a moment. Let's pause ten seconds for station identification here 152 00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:45.039 in Los Angeles. Clippers are your network. This is LA Clippers Basketball AM 153 00:10:45.080 --> 00:10:52.879 eleven fifty k EV Los Angeles and iHeartRadio station. We'll take a quick time 154 00:10:52.919 --> 00:10:54.679 out. We'll get into the box score. We'll get into Clippers stock as 155 00:10:54.679 --> 00:11:00.840 well. Clippers lose one thirty three to one sixteen at home to the Indiana 156 00:11:00.879 --> 00:11:03.840 Pacers, and you're listening to the Los Angeles Clippers Audio Network. They want 157 00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:09.720 to bring a banner with them to the into it dull more LA Clippers basketball 158 00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:13.600 on the LA Clippers Audio Network. The Clippers lose one thirty three to one 159 00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:18.960 sixteen to an Indiana Pacers team that shot seventeen of twenty eight from three, 160 00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:22.240 and it was better in that throughout most of the game. Actually, that's 161 00:11:22.279 --> 00:11:30.879 sixty one percent. They have been shooting thirty five percent from three their last 162 00:11:30.879 --> 00:11:33.960 ten games. Tyrese Haliburton over his last fifteen was at twenty two percent from 163 00:11:33.960 --> 00:11:39.559 the outside. He goes six of nine from three. Clippers finding new ways 164 00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:43.159 to lose. But I'd say this has been a trend too. Teams have 165 00:11:43.159 --> 00:11:48.639 been shooting much better against them over the last month or so. Clippers are 166 00:11:48.639 --> 00:11:54.279 ten and twelve since the Grammy road trip. When everything seems to be turning 167 00:11:54.360 --> 00:12:00.000 on its head. And this team is finding a new rock bottom each week 168 00:12:00.200 --> 00:12:03.279 in every ball game. It seems like unless they're taken on the Portland trail 169 00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:09.720 Blazers, and that good will they built up there is gone. Right now. 170 00:12:09.639 --> 00:12:13.519 You lose this back to back at home, you're now in the five 171 00:12:13.559 --> 00:12:18.279 spot in the West. You don't have home court in the first round. 172 00:12:20.519 --> 00:12:24.200 You're flirting with disaster of falling all the way into the plan. Unbelievable. 173 00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:28.720 Welcome back into your postgame locker room show. I'm out of Moslin. After 174 00:12:28.759 --> 00:12:33.559 the Clippers let go of it early in the fourth quarter, just didn't seem 175 00:12:33.559 --> 00:12:41.120 mentally tough enough to withstand being down eight, then they're down sixteen, when 176 00:12:41.159 --> 00:12:45.759 they're down by as many as twenty three, the game's over. The same 177 00:12:45.759 --> 00:12:50.399 thing happened yesterday in the fourth quarter the game they were down five in they 178 00:12:50.440 --> 00:13:00.559 were down by nineteen about three minutes later. The Clippers are just imploding at 179 00:13:00.559 --> 00:13:05.720 the moment in free falling. We'll talk about it next on the Patriot AM 180 00:13:05.720 --> 00:13:09.480 eleven fifty eight seven seven five to two zero eleven fifty is the phone number 181 00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:13.200 eight seven seven five to two zero eleven fifty.

If you thought I was hot last night after 195 00:14:20.480 --> 00:14:24.720 that Clippers loss, I'll get ready for this episode of Clippers Talk. I'm 196 00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:28.440 Adam Oslin. Welcome in to the Patriot AM eleven fifty. When the Dodgers 197 00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:31.759 are on AM five to seventy. This is where we will be. Eight 198 00:14:31.840 --> 00:14:35.639 seven seven five to two zero eleven fifty. Eight seven seven, five to 199 00:14:35.720 --> 00:14:41.279 two zero eleven fifty is the phone number after the Clippers collapse in another fourth 200 00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:50.840 quarter where they just were doa complete implosion. Seen it far too many times 201 00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:58.679 over the last two months. They are now in the five spot in the 202 00:14:58.679 --> 00:15:03.120 West. The Pelicans had the tiebreaker on them, and the Clippers are flirting 203 00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:11.720 with disaster of falling into the plan. I hope Morris is online, who 204 00:15:11.879 --> 00:15:15.000 just yesterday was saying, Hey, you guys are acting like we're a playing 205 00:15:15.039 --> 00:15:18.320 team or something like that. Well, you might get your wish or be 206 00:15:18.440 --> 00:15:24.200 careful what you wish for. It may happen. That's how dire things are 207 00:15:24.559 --> 00:15:33.039 right now for the Clippers. I'm not trying to be hyperbolic. I'm not 208 00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:37.080 trying to hype this up for ratings. I love this team, I love 209 00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:41.879 Clipper Nation. I want them to succeed, and it is hard to watch 210 00:15:43.159 --> 00:15:50.919 what we've been seeing over the last couple of months. You go from winning 211 00:15:50.080 --> 00:15:58.240 twenty six of thirty one ball games to now being ten and twelve in their 212 00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:02.759 last twenty two post. It's a Grammy broad trip where they I guess it 213 00:16:02.840 --> 00:16:08.600 peaked, went six and one. What happened? I keep asking this question. 214 00:16:11.919 --> 00:16:15.279 It's starting to lead to a lot of speculation with this team. I 215 00:16:15.320 --> 00:16:22.120 see it everywhere on Twitter, I hear it on phone calls. I've thrown 216 00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:26.840 out the theory that the reason they're so inconsistent with their effort is because for 217 00:16:26.879 --> 00:16:32.639 so long they had gotten away with it. They could be down big, 218 00:16:33.200 --> 00:16:37.440 they'd come back, they'd flip a switch, they'd turn it on. So 219 00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:44.200 it developed a bad habit of being off for possessions, for quarters, for 220 00:16:44.440 --> 00:16:48.840 games where they just don't bring it consistently enough, not for forty eight minutes 221 00:16:48.840 --> 00:16:53.720 at least. There's one theory. Some people have attached themselves to it. 222 00:16:56.120 --> 00:17:00.840 Their greatest strength, their resilient nature, more twenty point comebacks than any other 223 00:17:00.919 --> 00:17:07.559 team, has now led to their biggest weakness because they think they can pick 224 00:17:07.559 --> 00:17:15.359 and choose when they want to try hard and adhere to coaching. I don't 225 00:17:15.400 --> 00:17:18.480 know what else coach lou was supposed to do. Now I'll have a slight 226 00:17:18.559 --> 00:17:22.680 criticism. Maybe it's not a slight one, but the message is clear, 227 00:17:23.119 --> 00:17:30.480 take care of the basketball, rebound, get back on defense, and stop 228 00:17:30.559 --> 00:17:33.559 giving up so many open, wide, open easy layups. When it comes 229 00:17:33.559 --> 00:17:41.640 to transition points, it continues to happen. A lot of people told me 230 00:17:42.599 --> 00:17:48.519 Russ is coming back, that'll fix all this. I said, Uh, 231 00:17:48.920 --> 00:17:52.079 the issues are a little bit bigger than just one player at this point. 232 00:17:52.960 --> 00:17:59.480 Love what Russ brought tonight. No one guy's gonna save this team. It's 233 00:17:59.519 --> 00:18:03.559 whack them with the amount of problems you're seeing out there. You fix one 234 00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:07.039 another starts, you get a stop. You can't score, you score, 235 00:18:07.119 --> 00:18:12.400 you can't get a stop. They only had ten turnovers tonight. I'll give 236 00:18:12.440 --> 00:18:18.119 them that. They shot fifty four percent from the field. There was six 237 00:18:18.160 --> 00:18:21.680 of twenty from the outside. Twenty is a very low number of takes from 238 00:18:21.680 --> 00:18:25.200 three for them, and that's shooting thirty percent. You want to know what 239 00:18:25.240 --> 00:18:27.839 the Indiana Pacers shot. This is disgusting. Ear must for the kids. 240 00:18:29.319 --> 00:18:34.319 Seventeen of twenty eight from three. That is sixty one percent from three. 241 00:18:34.400 --> 00:18:40.480 They shot better from three than from two. It's near impossible to win a 242 00:18:40.519 --> 00:18:44.079 game with a team that hot, I said, going into the fourth quarter, 243 00:18:44.160 --> 00:18:48.039 it's somewhat impressive they're only down eight. But here's where the game got 244 00:18:48.039 --> 00:18:52.880 away. From them and has been maybe going back to what happened against the 245 00:18:52.960 --> 00:18:57.440 Lakers up twenty one in the fourth quarter and let going or letting go of 246 00:18:57.440 --> 00:19:02.880 the rope, I should say that that may have been the first instance of 247 00:19:02.960 --> 00:19:07.079 this. But for whatever reason, the Clippers are breaking and falling apart to 248 00:19:07.160 --> 00:19:15.319 start fourth quarters. They go from down eight more than manageable with twelve minutes 249 00:19:15.400 --> 00:19:23.799 left to down sixteen a minute forty six into the fourth. But I will 250 00:19:23.839 --> 00:19:30.680 say this, I didn't understand that lineup. I don't understand how you start 251 00:19:30.680 --> 00:19:36.319 the fourth without both Kawhi and Paul George and with three non shooters on the 252 00:19:36.359 --> 00:19:42.480 floor. It was a Visa Zubats next to PJ. Tucker, next to 253 00:19:42.559 --> 00:19:51.920 Russell Westbrook, next to James hard and Norm Powell, more non shooters than 254 00:19:52.039 --> 00:19:59.400 guys who can get it to go. The floor spacing was miserable. We 255 00:19:59.519 --> 00:20:03.880 watched us turned down a three, came out a great option not his game. 256 00:20:03.640 --> 00:20:07.960 For PJ. Tucker to then take a three in the near side corner 257 00:20:07.960 --> 00:20:11.039 in their first possession of the fourth that would go over the backboard and basically 258 00:20:11.079 --> 00:20:17.200 be a turnover, not a live ball one. But yeah, Bruss would 259 00:20:17.200 --> 00:20:23.599 miss one. Then the Clippers go scoreless. They're down sixteen. Indiana doubles 260 00:20:23.640 --> 00:20:27.839 the lead in a minute forty six. I go back to the Lakers game 261 00:20:27.920 --> 00:20:33.880 because that was a lineup I didn't understand to start that fourth quarter. You're 262 00:20:34.000 --> 00:20:41.640 up twenty one and they got blitzed and we're minus twelve in less than three 263 00:20:41.640 --> 00:20:48.519 minutes in that fourth quarter. And I just have seen this trend yesterday. 264 00:20:48.640 --> 00:21:00.000 It happened just yesterday to a team from Philly without Joe lmbid. The Clippers 265 00:21:00.119 --> 00:21:07.960 are in the game down five, and they end up losing the fourth quarter 266 00:21:08.279 --> 00:21:12.759 by nine points. And it really wasn't even that close. Let's see. 267 00:21:12.759 --> 00:21:18.319 Oh, they ended up losing the fourth quarter by nine points tonight and it 268 00:21:18.359 --> 00:21:22.839 really wasn't even that close. Philly went up on them as the Clippers went 269 00:21:22.880 --> 00:21:29.839 three minutes scoreless. By twenty after Clippers were down by just five. What 270 00:21:29.880 --> 00:21:36.599 are they doing to start fourth quarters? What's baffling is they have one of 271 00:21:36.640 --> 00:21:41.000 the best clutch time records in the league this season. When the game is 272 00:21:41.000 --> 00:21:45.279 within five in the last five minutes, they can't even get it to within 273 00:21:45.359 --> 00:21:51.359 five. They're getting blown out to start the fourth They're getting slacked within two 274 00:21:51.400 --> 00:21:56.480 minutes. Yes, you can lose a game that fast in today's NBA. 275 00:21:56.559 --> 00:21:59.440 I remember I had Sean and Inglewood say like, well, just try this 276 00:21:59.480 --> 00:22:07.039 lineup a little bit. What how could it hurt? Well? They went 277 00:22:07.279 --> 00:22:11.599 big, I guess, with Beatsa Zubats and PJ. Tucker, another non 278 00:22:11.599 --> 00:22:18.640 shooter and Russell Westbrook and they got ambushed and the game was over. They 279 00:22:18.680 --> 00:22:21.759 put in the Powell Rangers lineup, it was too late. Kawhi came in 280 00:22:21.799 --> 00:22:26.680 earlier than usual, about the nine minute mark of the fourth. Paul George 281 00:22:26.720 --> 00:22:32.279 came in after the first time out. I'm not sure why he wasn't starting 282 00:22:32.319 --> 00:22:40.240 the fourth quarter. I don't understand that. So yeah, there's a blame 283 00:22:40.319 --> 00:22:45.559 everywhere with this much going wrong. And as I mentioned, people are starting 284 00:22:45.559 --> 00:22:52.319 to wonder, Okay, are they too old? Maybe? But I see 285 00:22:52.359 --> 00:22:56.720 him ramp up and play with more energy sometimes when they're down in a fourth 286 00:22:56.799 --> 00:23:02.720 quarter, meaning what they have more in the tank later in a ball game. 287 00:23:02.799 --> 00:23:07.920 I would think if they're old, as we have seen at times in 288 00:23:07.960 --> 00:23:11.119 the middle of a fourth quarter, once they're down big, ah, they 289 00:23:11.119 --> 00:23:18.000 turn it on, going a twenty one to ohero run against Brooklyn. So 290 00:23:18.079 --> 00:23:22.279 I don't know if I buy that. People are wondering do they care? 291 00:23:26.759 --> 00:23:30.920 I don't know what everybody feels. I saw Kawhi Leonard getting into it with 292 00:23:30.960 --> 00:23:34.519 the Viza Zoobots after a play. I think it was early in the third 293 00:23:34.640 --> 00:23:40.240 quarter where Kawhi had to cover for Big Zoo, blocked the shot and then 294 00:23:40.279 --> 00:23:47.039 immediately had words with the Viza Zobots for being out of position. Apparently seems 295 00:23:47.079 --> 00:23:51.839 like they care enough. They're bickering out there. He got into it Paul 296 00:23:51.880 --> 00:23:59.240 George too. Is that holding guys accountable enough? I don't know. Seem 297 00:23:59.359 --> 00:24:03.680 like they cared earlier in the season. They just stopped now does that make 298 00:24:03.759 --> 00:24:10.720 sense to you? Is there schedule too tough? In March? Seventeen games 299 00:24:10.720 --> 00:24:15.759 in thirty one days? Did they give everything in the Grammy road trip and 300 00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:19.079 emptied the tank? And they're just too old? They're just too tired, 301 00:24:19.400 --> 00:24:22.319 a little bit gassed. Coach who was admitted to some of that. But 302 00:24:26.759 --> 00:24:33.000 you can't give into that fatigue mentally, you can't. And I don't know, 303 00:24:33.240 --> 00:24:37.200 I've seen enough energy out there. But now there's seven and seven in 304 00:24:37.240 --> 00:24:47.200 March, three games left to go. Do they have too many bad habits? 305 00:24:48.920 --> 00:24:52.799 Yeah, I think so. They haven't just built up bad habits over 306 00:24:52.880 --> 00:24:59.839 this season. They've built it up in the two and three era, and 307 00:25:00.039 --> 00:25:06.720 they're really coming back to bite them. Kawhi Leonard said even when they were 308 00:25:06.759 --> 00:25:11.960 winning that they were relying too much on talent and not enough on execution. 309 00:25:14.680 --> 00:25:19.400 Now the talent looks tired, maybe old, and they can't fall back on 310 00:25:19.440 --> 00:25:26.279 that foundation of having that great execution to carry them. Some have brought up 311 00:25:26.279 --> 00:25:30.599 are there too many agendas going on? Guys wanting minutes? Bones, PJ? 312 00:25:30.720 --> 00:25:41.039 Tucker being sent home? PJ? Basically, how do I put this 313 00:25:45.000 --> 00:25:48.920 airing grievances in order to get more minutes to the media. That's what happened. 314 00:25:49.720 --> 00:25:53.480 How else can I put it? That's literally what happened. He complained 315 00:25:53.519 --> 00:26:00.039 to the media early on the season. He complained after he was already sent 316 00:26:00.079 --> 00:26:06.960 home and disciplined, and he's gotten back into the rotation because of it. 317 00:26:07.000 --> 00:26:14.240 He's been decent here and there. But I don't know if that's great rewarding 318 00:26:14.279 --> 00:26:18.279 the guy for that, or a good example to young guys like Bones Highland 319 00:26:18.640 --> 00:26:26.200 who got his opportunity. Harden was out a couple of games, was great 320 00:26:26.279 --> 00:26:30.400 against Chicago and then Harden came back and it just seemed like Bones was checked 321 00:26:30.400 --> 00:26:37.000 out. I don't know why the body language wasn't there. I know we've 322 00:26:37.000 --> 00:26:41.960 gotten to a point where we're judging facial expressions and the way guys carry themselves 323 00:26:42.000 --> 00:26:48.119 on the court and shrugging their shoulders. But hey, you lose six of 324 00:26:48.240 --> 00:26:51.680 nine, you're ten and twelve when you're trying to win a championship post Grammy 325 00:26:51.759 --> 00:27:00.759 road trip, that's where it leads other guys they got contracts up. Is 326 00:27:00.759 --> 00:27:08.200 that part of it human nature? It could be some guys pressing, some 327 00:27:08.240 --> 00:27:14.960 guys not can't get on the same page, can't be in sync, can't 328 00:27:14.960 --> 00:27:21.680 win ball games. Let's start things off tonight with Mike in la here on 329 00:27:21.720 --> 00:27:26.880 Clipperstock on the Patriot AM eleven fifty. So Mike, hey, and you 330 00:27:26.960 --> 00:27:32.119 know, at a certain point you got to say that when you have a 331 00:27:32.200 --> 00:27:37.680 team that is the oldest team in the league, possibly also the smallest team 332 00:27:37.680 --> 00:27:41.519 in the league. I have said this before, Mike, I said this 333 00:27:41.599 --> 00:27:45.359 a few months ago. You just you can I know, you can be 334 00:27:45.559 --> 00:27:48.920 slow, you can be small. I don't know if you could have a 335 00:27:49.000 --> 00:27:55.400 roster construction with both and win in this league and they are both well they 336 00:27:55.480 --> 00:27:59.519 are both and you know, it was just a matter of time until it 337 00:28:00.359 --> 00:28:06.319 caught up. Basically, I think, you know, I mean, you 338 00:28:06.440 --> 00:28:08.799 see, it's not like you know, I mean, you know, could 339 00:28:08.839 --> 00:28:12.039 the players played better? And I mean Kawhi and Paul George are playing more 340 00:28:12.079 --> 00:28:15.839 than they've ever played in the season, you know for us, Hey, 341 00:28:15.880 --> 00:28:22.440 some speculator, maybe the little measurement before, if that's what was going, 342 00:28:22.799 --> 00:28:26.000 maybe they need it, maybe they're playing so much. But I don't buy 343 00:28:26.039 --> 00:28:30.720 that either, because Paul George has been on a heater the last three weeks. 344 00:28:30.319 --> 00:28:36.319 Kawhi has still been good. Like they're not connecting with everybody else, 345 00:28:36.359 --> 00:28:42.400 they're not playing together as a cohesive unit, but individually they don't look that 346 00:28:42.559 --> 00:28:48.559 tired to me. Paul George has been playing much better over the last twelve 347 00:28:48.720 --> 00:28:52.240 thirteen games now than he was for about a month and a half, and 348 00:28:52.279 --> 00:28:56.839 they're losing. That's true. So it is, Yeah, throw a dart. 349 00:28:56.920 --> 00:29:00.119 I don't know what it is with the team, right you know, 350 00:29:00.359 --> 00:29:03.720 we're trying to figure it out. Mike. I appreciate the phone call, 351 00:29:03.839 --> 00:29:07.640 my friend. Let's do again on Wednesday, Let's take a quick time out, 352 00:29:07.799 --> 00:29:11.400 we'll come back. We'll have I think Chuck Mockler is on tonight Clippers 353 00:29:11.440 --> 00:29:15.160 loss, so he comes on with their losses because it's a really bad loss. 354 00:29:15.160 --> 00:29:17.400 And then sometimes it's will Maybe we'll have them both on. I don't 355 00:29:17.440 --> 00:29:22.519 know. Clippers lose one thirty three to one sixteen. Strength in numbers. 356 00:29:22.240 --> 00:29:30.240 You gotta stick together, I'm hoping. And this could be the optimist in 357 00:29:30.359 --> 00:29:38.720 me, the glass half fool guy, which is so me. But maybe 358 00:29:40.160 --> 00:29:44.160 a road trip is the best thing for him. Guys in the fox hole 359 00:29:44.200 --> 00:29:48.920 together, I don't know. It wasn't the Grammy trip. That's what he 360 00:29:48.000 --> 00:29:52.680 got next next four on the road. More Clippers stock coming up right here 361 00:29:52.720 --> 00:29:57.200 on the Patriot EM eleven fifty. Every Clipper game all season long, they 362 00:29:57.200 --> 00:30:03.160 didn't stop playing hard. Listen to the La Clippers Audio Network streaming on the 363 00:30:03.200 --> 00:30:07.599 iHeartRadio lap. The Clippers were in first place when they got back from the 364 00:30:07.599 --> 00:30:15.039 grimmery road trip. Twenty two games later, they're in fifth. Not a 365 00:30:15.160 --> 00:30:22.359 rockstar, not so much at the moment. Clippers. They lose tonight second 366 00:30:22.440 --> 00:30:25.160 nut of a back to back, one thirty three to one sixteen to the 367 00:30:25.200 --> 00:30:26.920 Indiana Pacers. They were also on a back to back, by the way, 368 00:30:27.160 --> 00:30:32.279 and actually had less time to prepare. I know, their younger team. 369 00:30:32.759 --> 00:30:37.799 I don't care. That's not an excuse for this. The Clippers were 370 00:30:37.839 --> 00:30:40.920 in the game down three and a half, down eight, hanging into the 371 00:30:40.920 --> 00:30:48.079 fourth quarter, and then we're just could put kab Louie done collapsing again, 372 00:30:49.039 --> 00:30:52.799 not rising to the occasion at all. Coming up, we'll have Chuck and 373 00:30:53.000 --> 00:30:57.920 will Updyke on. Plus we'll hear from coach lou postgame. It's that type 374 00:30:57.960 --> 00:31:03.279 of night. Need both of these guys. But first, Javier in the 375 00:31:03.279 --> 00:31:07.119 Lobra heights, Javier, what's up here? On Clipper stoff with that amazend 376 00:31:07.720 --> 00:31:11.599 what's up item? Thank you for taking my call again. You know what, 377 00:31:11.759 --> 00:31:14.920 that line up in the fourth quarter with Russ, Tuckber and Zubak, 378 00:31:15.680 --> 00:31:18.160 that was ridiculous. You don't put that line up in the beginning of the 379 00:31:18.200 --> 00:31:26.119 fourth quarter. I mean that that that's just my mind boggling. I agree. 380 00:31:26.559 --> 00:31:30.839 I pointed out during the ball game, I couldn't believe they were going 381 00:31:30.839 --> 00:31:33.960 with three non shooters to start the fourth quarter against the team with shooters everywhere. 382 00:31:34.599 --> 00:31:40.920 That was matchup hunting and picking the Clippers apart, and I mean they 383 00:31:40.960 --> 00:31:44.440 just got out of score thirty two to twenty seven, and the third you 384 00:31:45.079 --> 00:31:48.200 have to get back into it. Yes, you need stops, and if 385 00:31:48.240 --> 00:31:51.480 that's the logic, well more defenders in there. But you also have to 386 00:31:52.240 --> 00:31:56.519 continue to score and find that balance. And I just I didn't understand that 387 00:31:56.559 --> 00:32:00.279 one. I mean, I kind of another thing to I disagree with Carlo 388 00:32:01.200 --> 00:32:06.079 or Cliper announcer. They said the Clippers do care. How did they care 389 00:32:06.160 --> 00:32:09.960 if they allow one hundred and thirty three points? I mean, I mean 390 00:32:10.079 --> 00:32:15.680 one hundred and thirty three points and did the same thing yesterday. Well, 391 00:32:15.680 --> 00:32:19.440 the Pacers are historic with the amount of points they scored per game and shot 392 00:32:19.519 --> 00:32:22.880 sixty one percent from three tonight, so I can see how it would happen. 393 00:32:22.759 --> 00:32:27.839 But I mean I would have hoped the Clippers scored more than one sixteen 394 00:32:27.880 --> 00:32:31.000 if that's the case. Yeah, I mean, at this point, honestly, 395 00:32:31.039 --> 00:32:35.359 Adam, I don't think the players are listening. I mean a couple 396 00:32:35.319 --> 00:32:38.599 of things I brought up during the year contract like you said, and I 397 00:32:38.640 --> 00:32:44.759 brought it up too. Paul George wants an extension, Hardy wants to get 398 00:32:44.759 --> 00:32:49.119 paid. I mean it's just everything just a snowball. I mean it just 399 00:32:49.599 --> 00:32:52.680 and I told you about Tyler lou Man. He just way overrated, but 400 00:32:52.279 --> 00:32:57.480 you guys like him. And last thing is you're going to get a car 401 00:32:57.599 --> 00:33:00.160 right now, Adam from Morris and Long Beach. He's in the ever Team's 402 00:33:00.200 --> 00:33:04.319 fine, we're good. We're gonna get to them one season. You just 403 00:33:04.359 --> 00:33:06.519 watched. I mean, I don't know, I don't know why you got 404 00:33:06.519 --> 00:33:07.960 to get the guys called. But anyway, thank you, Adam, Thank 405 00:33:08.000 --> 00:33:15.359 you Adam, Miss Cleo over here, Javier and Larbra He's right. Morris 406 00:33:15.799 --> 00:33:20.920 always wrong about one thing in Inglewood. Now, Morris, you're on Clippers, 407 00:33:20.920 --> 00:33:23.880 stop without im ausn't ingle what hey, Adam, I'm gonna tell you 408 00:33:23.880 --> 00:33:27.960 what's going on with the Clippers right now. It's very obviously everybody. When 409 00:33:28.000 --> 00:33:30.319 you get to the fourth quarter, Kawhi gotta be on the floor. It's 410 00:33:30.319 --> 00:33:34.839 straight up. You got to go to the start the first fourth quarter, 411 00:33:35.319 --> 00:33:37.440 the first four minutes of the fourth quarter. You got to play that like's 412 00:33:37.440 --> 00:33:42.319 the last four minutes. Well, well, Morris, what happened? Because 413 00:33:42.759 --> 00:33:45.519 he's never done that in the two and three era, He's always played the 414 00:33:45.720 --> 00:33:50.000 entire third quarter, and he comes back in around the seven minute mark of 415 00:33:50.079 --> 00:33:53.480 the fourth. Why why did it change now because we're losing right now? 416 00:33:54.240 --> 00:34:00.440 Well, but but what but why if it worked before for so along, 417 00:34:00.759 --> 00:34:05.759 why are they losing now because other teams have favored us out? Man, 418 00:34:05.839 --> 00:34:08.119 these guys are professionals. That guy got to start the fourth quarter. The 419 00:34:08.239 --> 00:34:12.039 face of the team is playing defense. We're not doing that right now. 420 00:34:12.400 --> 00:34:15.320 He's got to start the fourth quarter. Look, Morris, I brought this 421 00:34:15.480 --> 00:34:19.519 up yesterday, but you know that I said, maybe that's a change you 422 00:34:19.639 --> 00:34:22.920 make, But I don't think that's solving everything with this team at all. 423 00:34:23.159 --> 00:34:29.480 Even when he got back in the Pacers extended their lead. I think you 424 00:34:29.599 --> 00:34:32.239 talk about the team, Let's talk about the Let's talk about the Clippers. 425 00:34:32.599 --> 00:34:37.800 Let's talk about the clipp Let's talk about the Clippers patients. Well, the 426 00:34:37.840 --> 00:34:40.320 Clippers were playing the patients tonight and they were up against fire straight up. 427 00:34:40.719 --> 00:34:44.079 And you're right when they started the fourth quarter, when they started that, 428 00:34:44.199 --> 00:34:46.000 well, with that lineup, with the defensive lineup, you're right, And 429 00:34:46.079 --> 00:34:49.800 you know you're right about this. They were looking for matchups and they took 430 00:34:49.800 --> 00:34:53.480 advantage of them. They being the faces but if the Clippers start Kawhi in 431 00:34:53.599 --> 00:34:57.400 the fourth quarter, I'm sorry, man, he got to go over forty 432 00:34:57.440 --> 00:34:59.920 minutes a game now, I mean the playoffs of all, but he started 433 00:35:00.079 --> 00:35:04.480 for us. The playoffs have already started for us. He is. Everything 434 00:35:04.639 --> 00:35:07.159 is gonna be alright, you better believe it. But we're gonna have to 435 00:35:07.199 --> 00:35:10.679 start Kawie in the fourth quarter. At them, Morris, you keep shifting 436 00:35:10.760 --> 00:35:15.440 the excuses from one day to the next for this team. I think we 437 00:35:15.599 --> 00:35:20.480 need to have a higher standard for the Clippers. That's what I'm saying. 438 00:35:20.559 --> 00:35:23.719 We're making. We make an observation. Well, I hope they're gonna be 439 00:35:23.760 --> 00:35:28.119 all right, and I hope you're right. But before it was you know 440 00:35:28.119 --> 00:35:30.760 they're gonna get the number one seed, then it's hey, they're still not 441 00:35:30.880 --> 00:35:32.679 in the play in, so celebrate that. Well, Morris, guess what. 442 00:35:34.440 --> 00:35:37.239 They are dangerously close to being in the play in. So where do 443 00:35:37.280 --> 00:35:39.840 you shift the argument? Now they're gonna win. I don't care what none 444 00:35:39.840 --> 00:35:43.239 of these people are saying. I know what this team can do. I've 445 00:35:43.280 --> 00:35:45.880 seen these guys doing their best. Now they're going through it right now, 446 00:35:45.960 --> 00:35:49.440 you guys gonna bail ship with them to get tough. Let's finish out there, 447 00:35:49.840 --> 00:35:52.960 but we're gonna talk about what's actually happening and not just say everything's fine 448 00:35:53.079 --> 00:35:58.119 right now. Kawhi got to start the fourth quarter and we gotta go win 449 00:35:58.159 --> 00:36:01.440 with a defensive mindset as the same they've been told worse. I love you, 450 00:36:01.559 --> 00:36:05.400 but they've been told that for months that they needed to start with more 451 00:36:05.480 --> 00:36:08.480 physicality and defensive mindset, and the message is not being received. I appreciate 452 00:36:09.159 --> 00:36:15.239 the phone call. Speaking of the message, let's hear from the messenger in 453 00:36:15.480 --> 00:36:22.960 coach lou postgame after the Clippers lose one thirty three to one sixteenth. I 454 00:36:22.079 --> 00:36:29.199 think this could get spicy. Didn't have one? Do you guys have one? 455 00:36:29.440 --> 00:36:32.679 Or as a done somewhere? Who said? Who? You said? 456 00:36:32.719 --> 00:36:37.039 Well? Now, James Hawden mentioning that you guys didn't have an identity? 457 00:36:37.360 --> 00:36:40.199 You guys have had one? Where is it? Well? Can we start 458 00:36:40.239 --> 00:36:45.199 with this? Identity is with you shut the door first? Don take you 459 00:36:45.320 --> 00:36:54.400 shut that door, please, sir? So identity? You know, for 460 00:36:54.559 --> 00:37:00.599 us, it's gotta be toughness, which means physicality. Mentally, have physical 461 00:37:00.159 --> 00:37:06.400 toughness. A high powered offense. We can score a lot of different ways. 462 00:37:07.360 --> 00:37:10.039 And we got to have a defensive mindset. And so right now, 463 00:37:10.159 --> 00:37:15.159 do we have an identity? I think, yeah, we're soft. That 464 00:37:15.199 --> 00:37:17.079 could be an identity if you want to call it that. Like we got 465 00:37:17.199 --> 00:37:22.360 to be tougher mentally and physically, But we do have an identity. When 466 00:37:22.400 --> 00:37:23.639 we were twenty six and five, we had a great identity, you know. 467 00:37:23.800 --> 00:37:29.039 So you can't pick and choose when you want to lead. You can't 468 00:37:29.079 --> 00:37:31.000 pick and choose when you want to have identity. You can't pick and choose 469 00:37:31.039 --> 00:37:34.280 when you want to do things the right way. And so just do the 470 00:37:34.360 --> 00:37:37.000 right things every night and everything else to fall in fall in order. And 471 00:37:37.159 --> 00:37:39.960 so I guess we do have an identity. We got to get back to 472 00:37:40.039 --> 00:37:43.440 that, you know, because we've had it. You know. But when 473 00:37:43.480 --> 00:37:45.679 you lose games, it's easy to go the other way, and we're not 474 00:37:45.760 --> 00:37:47.639 going to do that. And I'm not gonna let our team do that. 475 00:37:49.440 --> 00:37:53.159 And you know, I'm tough minded, and so I've been through everything and 476 00:37:53.280 --> 00:37:55.639 so of these guys, and so the only way we're gonna get out of 477 00:37:55.719 --> 00:37:59.840 is playing hard for forty eight minutes, doing things right every single night, 478 00:38:00.000 --> 00:38:02.400 every single possession, not two out of five, not two out of six, 479 00:38:02.559 --> 00:38:06.760 not every time. Just do the right thing and you would be able 480 00:38:06.800 --> 00:38:08.719 to get out of this rut, you know. And so, yeah, 481 00:38:08.800 --> 00:38:13.800 we have an identity, but right now our identity has been shaken because we're 482 00:38:13.840 --> 00:38:16.800 not winning. You know, we're not doing things the right way consistently. 483 00:38:16.960 --> 00:38:20.559 And so when you don't do that, you're gonna lose. You know, 484 00:38:20.679 --> 00:38:22.920 you're gonna lose games games you should probably win or you think you should win, 485 00:38:23.480 --> 00:38:25.760 and you're not gonna play as good as you think you should play. 486 00:38:27.000 --> 00:38:30.480 And so I thought the first quarter, I thought we were great. I 487 00:38:30.519 --> 00:38:34.960 thought we really did some good things on both sides of basketball. And then 488 00:38:35.480 --> 00:38:37.480 can we sustain it? Can we do it for forty eight minutes and not 489 00:38:37.639 --> 00:38:40.679 just one quarter or two quarters or two and a half quarters. Can you 490 00:38:40.719 --> 00:38:46.800 sustain it every night? And that's gonna be our mindset. James also mentioned 491 00:38:46.840 --> 00:38:50.320 that this is the first time in his career has been part of a team 492 00:38:50.400 --> 00:38:52.960 that this late new season, there really isn't an identity, is I mean 493 00:38:53.119 --> 00:38:57.599 building off that is it's the first time you've seen this late in the season. 494 00:38:57.760 --> 00:39:00.280 A group of players have said there is no identity to your team. 495 00:39:00.039 --> 00:39:02.960 Yeah, I don't know what they're talking about. I just answered the question 496 00:39:04.079 --> 00:39:07.400 for you. But does it frustrate you when you hear the guys say that? 497 00:39:07.519 --> 00:39:10.599 They don't frustrate me. I mean it's frustrating to watch too, as 498 00:39:10.679 --> 00:39:14.159 much as they talk about to play, and it's it's frustrating to watch at 499 00:39:14.199 --> 00:39:16.000 times, like I said, And we're better than that, and we've shown 500 00:39:16.039 --> 00:39:20.920 that, and so you know, we just got to We just gotta do 501 00:39:21.000 --> 00:39:23.320 our jobs one through fifteen and the coaches, we all just got to do 502 00:39:23.400 --> 00:39:28.159 our jobs. Do your job well we asked you to do and once you 503 00:39:28.239 --> 00:39:30.920 don't do that that we can adjust. Or when you do that it doesn't 504 00:39:30.000 --> 00:39:34.599 it doesn't work. We can adjust, you know. And so we definitely 505 00:39:34.639 --> 00:39:37.320 have an identity. But I'm tired of hearing that word. So just start 506 00:39:37.679 --> 00:39:38.960 keep talking away with the players. I have an identity, and I know 507 00:39:39.039 --> 00:39:43.760 what the identity of our team is. Coach, you know you've been talking 508 00:39:43.800 --> 00:39:47.199 about forty years. Well, that was strong. I liked hearing that from 509 00:39:47.280 --> 00:39:52.880 Coach Lou. I believe in him. He's the right guy. He's turned 510 00:39:52.920 --> 00:39:58.679 this around. If they're going to I think he's a leader to do it. 511 00:40:00.440 --> 00:40:05.440 He came out straight up and said, our identity right now is soft. 512 00:40:07.320 --> 00:40:10.880 How can you argue with that? Morris A long beach. Englewood might, 513 00:40:12.039 --> 00:40:15.480 but we're not gonna sugarcoat it here. That's what the Clippers are playing. 514 00:40:16.159 --> 00:40:21.679 That's why they're in this position where you have players saying they don't have 515 00:40:21.719 --> 00:40:25.119 an identity and a coach saying they do. So guys are on the same 516 00:40:25.159 --> 00:40:37.000 page and they're splintering. I really do think an upcoming road trip with everybody 517 00:40:37.079 --> 00:40:43.960 together could be just what they need. Doesn't mean it's for sure turning anything 518 00:40:44.000 --> 00:40:46.360 around. You gotta do the work, do your job, as coach lu 519 00:40:46.440 --> 00:40:50.800 said, But maybe he's coming at the right time. I don't know. 520 00:40:51.960 --> 00:40:54.840 I'm desperate for anything right now too, with this team. Ryan and Santa 521 00:40:54.880 --> 00:41:00.360 Anna. Ryan, you're on Clippers Talk without a maslin as we're desperately searching 522 00:41:00.400 --> 00:41:04.280 for answers here, Ryan, what's up? Hey, Idam, how's it 523 00:41:04.320 --> 00:41:08.599 going? Yeah? This is uh. We got punched in the face and 524 00:41:09.159 --> 00:41:14.480 uh yeah, it started off like from the very beginning of the game. 525 00:41:14.559 --> 00:41:16.639 I don't know the guy, but he was guardian James Harden. I don't 526 00:41:16.800 --> 00:41:22.039 remember that guy's name, but if from the gate they like were pressuring us, 527 00:41:22.119 --> 00:41:27.360 pressuring us, and we responded very softly. And then I don't know 528 00:41:27.559 --> 00:41:30.320 the first quarter they were up thirty four to twenty nine. I don't think 529 00:41:30.320 --> 00:41:32.679 the first quarter was their problem, Okay, but to start off the game 530 00:41:32.880 --> 00:41:37.360 like they Yes, we started off very well, but we didn't. We 531 00:41:37.440 --> 00:41:42.800 don't keep it up because we started off the game thirty four to twenty nine. 532 00:41:42.880 --> 00:41:46.079 You're right, but later on they're pressuring us. They're going full court 533 00:41:46.159 --> 00:41:52.000 press on the Clippers, and our response later on was just to let them 534 00:41:52.159 --> 00:41:55.440 walk up the court and uh, take off time off the clock, like 535 00:41:57.159 --> 00:42:02.440 there's no there's desperation from us to like try to really get back into it. 536 00:42:04.400 --> 00:42:07.239 It was going on the whole the whole night, honestly, and then 537 00:42:07.320 --> 00:42:09.480 like the fourth quarter lineup to start off the lineup, I don't understand what 538 00:42:09.559 --> 00:42:14.960 that was like. That was a really bad lineup and it wasn't like the 539 00:42:15.079 --> 00:42:19.239 only shooter that was out there was Harden and Norman. Then it was all 540 00:42:19.320 --> 00:42:24.559 like Tucker Zoo, I believe, and hey, I've been preaching preacher till 541 00:42:24.559 --> 00:42:28.760 the choir. I said that off top tonight. I said it when it 542 00:42:28.880 --> 00:42:34.000 happened honestly. Yeah, our identity right now is soft, Like I don't, 543 00:42:34.039 --> 00:42:37.320 I don't. Everybody punks us, Adam, everybody's funking us. Philly 544 00:42:37.360 --> 00:42:42.960 punked us, Indiana punked us, and our last home game before the Hawks 545 00:42:43.000 --> 00:42:46.079 punks us too. So it's like, we gotta we gotta get a backbone 546 00:42:46.119 --> 00:42:52.079 and start like getting us together. I agree, Ryan, they're breaking right 547 00:42:52.159 --> 00:42:55.480 now. Teams are breaking the Clippers, will That is what we're seeing. 548 00:42:55.920 --> 00:43:00.960 They get down earlier in the fourth quarter and it looks like they're just quitting. 549 00:43:01.079 --> 00:43:05.400 They're just saying, here we go again. I don't believe that's the 550 00:43:05.480 --> 00:43:09.679 case, and some of that was just a bad lineup, but it can't 551 00:43:09.760 --> 00:43:13.800 keep happening. We'll take a quick time out. I appreciate the phone call, 552 00:43:13.880 --> 00:43:19.960 Ryan. We'll come back. We'll have Chuck in Will on to that 553 00:43:20.159 --> 00:43:28.760 night. Yeah, you might kill Bill Song. Clippers lose one thirty three 554 00:43:28.800 --> 00:43:35.320 to one sixteen, we'll have the entire brain trust. I don't know if 555 00:43:35.320 --> 00:43:40.599 I could say that, but the core three from Clips and dip on next 556 00:43:40.719 --> 00:43:45.360 to try to reason through this, figure out what's going on with the Clippers. 557 00:43:45.599 --> 00:43:49.360 I'm Mena Oslin. You're listening to the Patriot AM eleven fifty. LA 558 00:43:49.480 --> 00:43:53.480 Clippers basketball is on the two one three era continues. You're listening to the 559 00:43:53.679 --> 00:43:59.920 LA Clippers on the LA Clippers Audio Network. Clippers have lost six of nine. 560 00:44:00.800 --> 00:44:04.920 They lose one thirty three to one sixteen on the second or the back 561 00:44:05.039 --> 00:44:10.320 end, I mean back to back at home this time to the Indiana Pacers 562 00:44:10.440 --> 00:44:15.320 who broke them early on in the fourth quarter. Welcome back in. I'm 563 00:44:15.320 --> 00:44:19.920 out of Mosland. We got the music, So I think that means it's 564 00:44:19.960 --> 00:44:24.400 basically turning into a complete episode of clips and dip. We can only have 565 00:44:24.480 --> 00:44:30.000 one on no, I've ah yeah, all right, it's Chuck's night. 566 00:44:30.039 --> 00:44:36.360 Anyways, Chuck or as yours my friends, if you want to complain about 567 00:44:36.400 --> 00:44:38.599 the Clippers, talk about what's going on, the fact we couldn't get Will 568 00:44:38.679 --> 00:44:44.559 on too. At the same time, whatever you uh, steer this Clipper 569 00:44:44.639 --> 00:44:53.320 ship right now. God forget I'm jo I'm just tired man, right like 570 00:44:54.519 --> 00:45:00.599 I think tonight, none of it ever felt real, if that makes sense 571 00:45:00.639 --> 00:45:05.679 when the Clippers were kind of playing well, because when the Clippers are doing 572 00:45:05.760 --> 00:45:10.519 one thing well, they're never doing all things well right now specifically or not 573 00:45:10.639 --> 00:45:15.480 even right now and the last you know, half of the games they've played 574 00:45:15.519 --> 00:45:21.320 this season, it seems so I'm just tired. I kind of feel like 575 00:45:21.440 --> 00:45:25.800 we're floating in the middle of the water waiting for this to just be over, 576 00:45:27.079 --> 00:45:31.199 or maybe that's what I'm getting from the players a little bit again, 577 00:45:31.519 --> 00:45:36.920 just just defensively, Like people talked about how last time we played the place 578 00:45:36.920 --> 00:45:38.760 as we put up one fifty, Well they put up like one forty five 579 00:45:38.880 --> 00:45:44.920 and didn't have most of their team healthy. So to think that this Clippers 580 00:45:45.000 --> 00:45:52.480 team is going to be able to get to championship level defense is really hard 581 00:45:52.559 --> 00:45:58.440 for me to believe in right now. And yeah, I hope we see 582 00:45:58.480 --> 00:46:01.719 something different on Wednesday. Right we have a chance to avenge that bad loss 583 00:46:01.760 --> 00:46:06.760 for the seventy six ers, so that would be nice, But there's a 584 00:46:06.880 --> 00:46:13.159 really long way to go to get if it's even possible, anywhere close to 585 00:46:13.360 --> 00:46:20.280 a team ability and mindset wise that looks ready to challenge for a second round 586 00:46:20.360 --> 00:46:24.639 appearance in the playoffs. Especially how I feel right now, Yeah, it's 587 00:46:24.719 --> 00:46:30.400 well put. We're seeing a mixed message from the players and the coaching staff. 588 00:46:30.199 --> 00:46:35.400 We're hearing no identity from two players now. First it was Paul George, 589 00:46:35.920 --> 00:46:39.960 Now it's James Harden. Coach Lou disagrees with that. I don't know. 590 00:46:40.079 --> 00:46:45.440 Are we looking at some schism between the players and the head coach. 591 00:46:45.599 --> 00:46:50.159 I don't want to believe that, But the message continually is not being received 592 00:46:50.199 --> 00:46:53.800 out there and they are not doing what he is asking. I don't understand 593 00:46:53.840 --> 00:46:57.960 it, and they can't even agree on if they have an identity at the 594 00:46:58.039 --> 00:47:04.519 moment. It's just it's bizarre. Are I think the skin them? I 595 00:47:04.639 --> 00:47:07.880 think is kind of what you just said, right. He's asking them to 596 00:47:07.000 --> 00:47:10.679 do certain things and they're not doing it. We don't know why they're not 597 00:47:10.840 --> 00:47:15.159 doing it. And the things he's asking them are not seemingly out of the 598 00:47:15.280 --> 00:47:21.679 questions of things you would ask very good basketball players who want to win a 599 00:47:21.760 --> 00:47:24.880 championship. Get back in transition, defense, stop shot watching. You know 600 00:47:25.360 --> 00:47:30.719 know who the low man is. Let's play with purpose and intent like he's 601 00:47:30.840 --> 00:47:34.920 not, you know, asking them to set screens for Zoo so he can 602 00:47:34.960 --> 00:47:38.239 take a step back three like these are normal things to ask for. These 603 00:47:38.280 --> 00:47:42.760 are intangible to ask for a team. The only guy on Cole on the 604 00:47:42.840 --> 00:47:45.480 team who any of us probably believe can actually flip a switch because he's the 605 00:47:45.519 --> 00:47:51.119 only one who's done it, is Kawhi Leonard, and maybe everyone else thinks 606 00:47:51.159 --> 00:47:53.840 they can flip a switch too, or something like that. But the schism 607 00:47:54.119 --> 00:47:59.920 is the head coach is asking them to do things and they're not doing that, 608 00:48:00.800 --> 00:48:04.719 and I don't understand why. That's what's frustrating. I don't understand why. 609 00:48:05.039 --> 00:48:07.880 I think a lot of us are past the point of being mad and 610 00:48:07.000 --> 00:48:16.360 more so just baffled or apathetically dumbfounded at why these guys just can't try harder. 611 00:48:16.440 --> 00:48:21.199 I don't like to not A lot of things are able to be reduced 612 00:48:21.280 --> 00:48:24.239 down to one side tried harder than the other side. But if you watch 613 00:48:24.360 --> 00:48:30.480 the Slippers team, they are not trying. They're not giving their full effort 614 00:48:30.719 --> 00:48:37.159 team, and that is confusing. I've heard before from people say in the 615 00:48:37.199 --> 00:48:40.079 regular season, you can have a winning record by the end of the year 616 00:48:42.320 --> 00:48:45.960 just by playing harder each and every night, and I feel like we saw 617 00:48:45.039 --> 00:48:49.079 that with teams in the past, with some of the Doc Rivers teams, 618 00:48:50.480 --> 00:48:53.280 the twenty seventeen to twenty eighteen team, the twenty eighteen twenty nineteen team, 619 00:48:53.840 --> 00:48:58.440 and the team without Kawhi the entire year from two years ago, and Paul 620 00:48:58.519 --> 00:49:04.719 George was just thirty one games. Because those teams all played really hard for 621 00:49:04.840 --> 00:49:10.840 the majority of the time. And you could say it's too old. You 622 00:49:10.880 --> 00:49:15.039 could say it's the March schedule. You could speculate whether or not they care 623 00:49:15.159 --> 00:49:20.239 or not right now. You could say it's too many bad habits, too 624 00:49:20.320 --> 00:49:25.400 many maybe agendas, personal agendas, all the above. There is so much 625 00:49:25.599 --> 00:49:30.880 wrong with what's happening with this team. I don't know where to start anymore. 626 00:49:31.280 --> 00:49:36.880 It's just brutal. But I could start with this. They're twenty ninth 627 00:49:36.960 --> 00:49:40.599 defensively now since the Grammy road trip after tonight. They were twenty six heading 628 00:49:40.639 --> 00:49:46.079 into tonight. Tonight was so bad when especially when the dam broke in the 629 00:49:46.159 --> 00:49:53.280 fourth quarter, they dropped multiple spots. That's over twenty five percent of the 630 00:49:53.360 --> 00:49:59.000 season where you are twenty ninth defensively, Chuck. They came into this year 631 00:49:59.079 --> 00:50:01.360 saying we want to be a Time five defense. The identity that they said 632 00:50:01.400 --> 00:50:07.079 they were going to have was going to be a tough defensive team that can 633 00:50:07.159 --> 00:50:12.079 spread the floor. I none of that is coming to fruition right now. 634 00:50:13.440 --> 00:50:17.840 Are they only better than the Pistons. Is that who's thirtieth pulled up right 635 00:50:17.920 --> 00:50:22.000 here. They're also thirteenth offensively during that time, which really isn't good enough 636 00:50:22.079 --> 00:50:27.920 when you're twenty ninth defensively. It's Utah. It's utah over their last twenty 637 00:50:28.000 --> 00:50:30.000 one games, their thirtieth, but over the Clippers last twenty two games, 638 00:50:30.000 --> 00:50:32.960 where they're ten to twelve post Gamy road trip, they are twenty ninth. 639 00:50:34.400 --> 00:50:37.719 Right above them is the Lakers. They're twenty eighth, but they're actually finding 640 00:50:37.760 --> 00:50:44.840 ways to win games because their second offensively over that span, Like, you 641 00:50:45.119 --> 00:50:49.639 can win still being that bad defensively if you're really playing great on offense, 642 00:50:49.679 --> 00:50:52.480 and the Clippers are just out middle of the pack with this talent. Yeah, 643 00:50:53.199 --> 00:50:58.000 it's a combination of I think Robert Flamm had a tweet of something like 644 00:50:58.039 --> 00:51:02.440 the Clippers I have a deadly combination of old slow, a little small, 645 00:51:02.519 --> 00:51:07.480 and not enough shooting, which right now we're seeing the downsides. We're seeing 646 00:51:07.599 --> 00:51:12.159 that play out. Right. This team was what twenty six and tie or 647 00:51:12.199 --> 00:51:15.760 what twenty six and five had an incredible run. I don't know what that 648 00:51:15.880 --> 00:51:21.760 team. I don't know how that happened based on how things have gone since 649 00:51:21.800 --> 00:51:24.559 the Grammy roach if it makes no sense that that happened, if you like 650 00:51:24.800 --> 00:51:30.000 had a time machine, I don't know, but they have to find something. 651 00:51:30.039 --> 00:51:32.760 They tried to small ball lineup tonight and offensively it was great, but 652 00:51:34.000 --> 00:51:37.880 you know, defensively it it seeds rebounds, it it seeds points. So, 653 00:51:38.960 --> 00:51:44.800 Charles, what was the lineup to start the fourth quarter? Often? 654 00:51:45.280 --> 00:51:47.599 I'm pretty it wasn't it. It was PJ or hold On, it was. 655 00:51:47.840 --> 00:51:59.559 It was uh Russ Hardened, norm A Mere, PJ, whej Zoo, 656 00:52:00.719 --> 00:52:04.239 three non shooters out there, Like, how can we say they don't 657 00:52:04.239 --> 00:52:07.119 have enough shooting? I mean, I'm speculated. Even back when they lost 658 00:52:07.119 --> 00:52:09.519 six games in a row, I remember bringing up specifically, I don't know 659 00:52:09.800 --> 00:52:15.079 if you can win being slow and small, which the Clippers were. It 660 00:52:15.159 --> 00:52:16.199 could be one, but I don't know if you could be two. I 661 00:52:16.280 --> 00:52:20.559 said that way back then. But then in thirty one games, I mean 662 00:52:20.920 --> 00:52:24.519 we're talking actually over fifty games where they were the number one three point shooting 663 00:52:24.599 --> 00:52:28.320 team in the league, how can we say they don't have the shooting. 664 00:52:28.400 --> 00:52:32.559 They may not have had to start the fourth quarter, but they over half 665 00:52:32.639 --> 00:52:37.880 the season they were number one and three point shooting. I don't. I 666 00:52:38.000 --> 00:52:42.280 mean, it's it's a personnel issue, right. The shooting was great because 667 00:52:42.320 --> 00:52:45.519 our four shooters were five or whatever it is. It's just not deep. 668 00:52:45.880 --> 00:52:49.159 That's that's what I think Ales and the Clippers right now too. Right, 669 00:52:49.239 --> 00:52:52.519 if you have to, if you have lineups, to even have a lineup 670 00:52:52.559 --> 00:52:57.639 with three non shooters is hard in the modern NBA. But that's you know, 671 00:52:58.000 --> 00:53:00.199 that's the way the trade had to. Yeah, there's so many issues. 672 00:53:00.400 --> 00:53:04.159 The open threes thing, I do believe is going to turn around. 673 00:53:04.599 --> 00:53:09.199 That should turn around. That's been crazy. Right, Well, this is 674 00:53:09.239 --> 00:53:14.039 a nice tease for I don't know if we're doing a live or YouTube or 675 00:53:14.119 --> 00:53:17.559 whatever tomorrow. Tomorrow for sure. Yeah, but we'll have you guys covered 676 00:53:19.159 --> 00:53:23.239 at Clippers podcast on YouTube. Myself Chuck and Will Updyke, Charles, thanks 677 00:53:23.280 --> 00:53:28.719 for doing this tonight, a little double dip on Clippers stuff, my friend, 678 00:53:29.880 --> 00:53:35.360 Hey, thanks for having me. Let's go clip coming up next, 679 00:53:35.639 --> 00:53:39.000 we'll close things out. Big brother Jake Warners here, he's got some positivity 680 00:53:39.079 --> 00:53:43.400 for us. Clippers loose and I won thirty three to one sixteen at Crypto 681 00:53:43.480 --> 00:53:45.440 to the Indiana Pacers. And you're listening to the Patriot Am eleven fifty. 682 00:53:46.000 --> 00:53:50.920 They want to bring a banner with them to the into it dull more LA 683 00:53:51.039 --> 00:53:57.079 Clippers Basketball on the LA Clippers Audio Network. The Clippers have eleven games left 684 00:53:57.119 --> 00:54:01.440 in the regular season to figure this out. Starting on the road in Philly 685 00:54:01.559 --> 00:54:08.199 on Wednesday, could start with just one, one win, one moment. 686 00:54:08.920 --> 00:54:15.719 Sometimes it is that simple to find your spirit, to find your identity. 687 00:54:15.639 --> 00:54:19.559 Sorry, Coach Lou, I don't like saying anymore. Either your personality, 688 00:54:21.800 --> 00:54:25.599 your philosophy, whatever it's going to be, it's going to have to start 689 00:54:25.840 --> 00:54:29.840 on this road trip before we get out of here. Ryan in Burbank, 690 00:54:30.280 --> 00:54:34.280 you're on Clipper stock without a maasin all right, Adam, Adam, I 691 00:54:34.360 --> 00:54:37.280 heard you. I heard you talk. Can you were you were laughing to 692 00:54:37.360 --> 00:54:39.480 keep from crying. I feel like that's every Clipper fan right now. It 693 00:54:39.639 --> 00:54:45.119 is it is. It is baffling. How did this team go twenty six 694 00:54:45.239 --> 00:54:51.800 and five? How was this happening? Like what? There's no way that 695 00:54:51.960 --> 00:54:57.039 this team is this bad. It's just not possible for how well did they 696 00:54:57.119 --> 00:55:00.880 played in this Are they trulling? Nots Adam, that what's happened? They're 697 00:55:00.920 --> 00:55:04.199 just they're truly this new thing. Don't worry, guys, we got I'm 698 00:55:04.360 --> 00:55:10.920 so it makes no sense. I know. The maniacal laughter is all I 699 00:55:12.039 --> 00:55:19.239 have left straight jokering it. Who knows if I call one Jake before we 700 00:55:19.280 --> 00:55:22.199 get out of here, straighten me out.
