WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:04.480 The game is over, Paul George money in the page, but the postgame 2 00:00:04.559 --> 00:00:09.080 reaction has just begot. Kawhi Leonard is so smooth in the mid range. 3 00:00:09.880 --> 00:00:14.000 This is Clippers locker Roo, a recap of today's game and a look ahead 4 00:00:14.039 --> 00:00:18.559 on your hole for LA Clippers basketball. And now your host, you, 5 00:00:18.800 --> 00:00:24.039 sir, are a bad man, Adam Ousley. The Clippers make it two 6 00:00:24.079 --> 00:00:28.519 in a row is number two. Kawhi Leonard has twenty four points and five 7 00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:33.640 dunks against his former team in the Toronto Raptors. Welcome in. Clippers win 8 00:00:33.759 --> 00:00:37.280 one O eight to one hundred. You're listening to the official postgame show for 9 00:00:37.320 --> 00:00:40.000 you the Los Angeles Clippers. Coming up, we'll get the second half high 10 00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:43.240 lighter post game box scorer and you'll hear from the head coach and the players 11 00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:47.399 after this one. But first, back to your voice of the Clippers in 12 00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:51.920 Noah Eagle. So, Noah, after having seven turnovers in that first quarter, 13 00:00:52.439 --> 00:00:55.039 just ten the rest of the way for the Clippers. They cut down 14 00:00:55.039 --> 00:00:58.240 on him. And when they weren't turning the basketball over, they were executing 15 00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:00.840 very well on both ends. Yeah, and you heard Terrence Man after the 16 00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:03.679 game. I thought he made an excellent point to me. It started on 17 00:01:03.679 --> 00:01:07.239 the defensive end. They locked in defensively, they got stopped and that really 18 00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:10.959 energized them. And this was reminiscent of what they looked like to start the 19 00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:14.519 season, where allowing one hundred points was pretty much what they were gonna do 20 00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:17.519 one hundred pots or less almost every night. And when your offense is playing 21 00:01:17.519 --> 00:01:19.519 the way that the Clippers have over the last several weeks, which for the 22 00:01:19.519 --> 00:01:22.920 most part they did, they may not have point up the major points that 23 00:01:22.959 --> 00:01:26.200 they have, but still they scored thirty two and thirty four and the second 24 00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:27.359 and third quarters, and that gave them more than enough the rest of the 25 00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:32.840 way to coach through you mentioned it. Terrence Mann played the last seventeen minutes 26 00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:37.159 of this ballgame. Coach Slew was riding with the guys that got the lead. 27 00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:40.799 He was out there with Eric Gordon, Kawai, Paul George of Vitsa 28 00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:44.200 Zuboss for Big Man's in the fourth quarter, and Big Zoo played ten more 29 00:01:44.239 --> 00:01:47.599 minutes they did all of last games. So those two days off did quite 30 00:01:47.599 --> 00:01:49.079 well for that calf injury of his. And he's gonna get two more days 31 00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:53.400 off, which should be helpful for him, and then three days off after 32 00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:56.120 that, which would be even more helpful for him. But I think the 33 00:01:56.120 --> 00:01:57.319 team as a whole, look for us, certainly on the defensive end, 34 00:01:57.319 --> 00:02:00.439 a lot of what they've been practicing these last two days looks like it paid 35 00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:04.519 off. But at the same time, what does coach lou always say, 36 00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:07.760 He coaches on feel, and he felt like that group gave them the best 37 00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:09.280 chance to finish out the job. Look, Toronto made their run. They 38 00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:13.319 were always going to make a run, but they had the tools with that 39 00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:16.120 five man unit, and that five man unit delivered a w once again here 40 00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:21.159 in downtown LA. Speaking of guys looking spry, Kawhi Leonard with five dunks 41 00:02:21.199 --> 00:02:25.879 against his former team and the closest dunk we've seen to his dunk over Derek 42 00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:29.919 Favors back in the twenty twenty one playoffs. That was ridiculous. Man, 43 00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:34.960 That one was just launch pad. Realize that you saw what his intentions were 44 00:02:35.199 --> 00:02:38.000 when he started crossing the three point line. The second he took one step 45 00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:40.639 inside the three point line, he said, Oh, I'm dunking this and 46 00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:43.960 I don't care who's in my way. And it just so happened to be 47 00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:46.719 the guy one of the pieces that was traded for him when he got dealt 48 00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:50.759 to Toronto a couple of years back, of course, in the twenty eighteen 49 00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:53.520 nineteen season, But man, that was that was special, and that it's 50 00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:58.400 just another reminder of just how special he truly is and that gear that he 51 00:02:58.439 --> 00:03:01.159 can reach where there's just nothing anybody can do, whether it's a jump shout 52 00:03:01.199 --> 00:03:04.360 in the mid range, whether it's a three ball, which he's been shooting 53 00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:07.159 at a ridiculous clip this year. He only took one three tonight at him 54 00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:08.759 and he made it because that's the way he's been shooting the basketball. And 55 00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:13.199 the Clippers only took twenty threes as a team and won six of twenty. 56 00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:15.439 When's the last time you ever heard of the Clippers only taking twenty three point 57 00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:20.439 attempts in a game. That's crazy to me. Two thousand fourteen, may 58 00:03:22.039 --> 00:03:24.000 not even then they had JJ that he was probably putting up seven at least 59 00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:29.919 was Paul George. And this one, I really loved his defensive effort in 60 00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:31.479 the fourth quarter. He talked about it early on this season, but he 61 00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:35.360 said he wanted to set the tone being the best offender on the floor the 62 00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:38.639 first six minutes and the last six minutes of ball games. I thought he 63 00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:40.479 did that the last I don't know. He played twelve minutes in the fourth. 64 00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:44.199 As long as he was out there, the defense was on point. 65 00:03:44.479 --> 00:03:49.759 Yeah, I completely agree, and PG was taking the responsibility of guarding someone 66 00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:52.520 like a Van Vleet. Then Kawai stepped up on Van Vleet. Then when 67 00:03:52.520 --> 00:03:57.199 Siakam get going the two on three connection, both on there. Kawai had 68 00:03:57.280 --> 00:04:00.960 one double double. This is courtesy of the great Dave Freed, by the 69 00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:02.879 way, one double double in his first thirty eight games this year, now 70 00:04:02.919 --> 00:04:06.759 back to back in these last two, recognizing that the urgency required from this 71 00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:11.039 team, recognizing that they've got to go out there and get these ws and 72 00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:14.199 start to build some continuity. He's done at twenty four and twelve. Tonight 73 00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:15.879 was huge. But you're right. For both those guys, the defense was 74 00:04:15.920 --> 00:04:18.959 paramount. And I love the fact that even though they came out a little 75 00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:23.199 bit flat, it felt a little bit like an afternoon game at first. 76 00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:27.199 They were down twenty five to seventeen after one, but only giving up twenty 77 00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:30.079 five kind of kept them in this thing, waiting for their offense to catch 78 00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:32.360 up to the defense. The defense was great and again they got outshot ninety 79 00:04:32.399 --> 00:04:35.360 six to seventy one in this game. It just didn't matter because Toronto shot 80 00:04:35.399 --> 00:04:39.560 thirty nine percent overall, and that's with them shooting forty one percent from three, 81 00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:43.079 which is a bit well above their season average. I thought defensively forcing 82 00:04:43.079 --> 00:04:46.439 some turnovers, getting it some passing lanes and this was the other part of 83 00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:48.600 all of this. Toronto first in the league in points off turnovers on the 84 00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:51.399 season. They did get nineteen of them, but the Clippers, on fewer 85 00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:56.560 turnover chances, got twenty one points off of twelve turnovers. That was critical. 86 00:04:56.879 --> 00:05:00.959 Clippers win one o eight to one hundred here and down town Los Angeles 87 00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:06.240 over the Toronto Raptors. Their next one is an afternoon context, oh challenge 88 00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:11.839 for this squad against the NIXT team that has been surging over the last three 89 00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:14.920 weeks. Now tip time is that one. We'll have Clippers count down your 90 00:05:14.920 --> 00:05:17.920 pregame show starting at twelve. No what Eagle great call is always. We'll 91 00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:21.879 talk to you on Saturday, Adam, no sugarcoating here, can't wait coming 92 00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:28.560 up next second half highlights. Clippers win by eight as Kawhi Leonard has twenty 93 00:05:28.600 --> 00:05:32.040 four pg as twenty three and they take down Kawhi's former team in the Raptors, 94 00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:35.160 one O eight to one hundred. You're listening to the Los Angeles Clippers 95 00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:40.439 Radio Network, George and Leonard running. You're listening to LA Clippers basketball, 96 00:05:40.759 --> 00:05:44.959 but up top Clipper puts it down plus the foul every game of all season 97 00:05:45.079 --> 00:05:47.879 long. The Hole Clippers win one O eight to one hundred. Here and 98 00:05:47.920 --> 00:05:53.279 down town Los Angeles at Crypto dot com Arena over the Toronto Raptors. Welcome 99 00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:57.879 back into your postgame show. I'm Adam Oslin, coming up on a seventy 100 00:05:57.959 --> 00:06:00.839 LA Sports. We'll have Clippers talk for you eight six six ninety eight seven 101 00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:04.199 two five seventy eight six sixty nine eight seven two five seventy or you can 102 00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:10.199 tweet at me at follow Adam. All right, now, let's get to 103 00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:15.040 your second half highlights. Game was tied up at forty nine at the half, 104 00:06:15.079 --> 00:06:18.639 a low scoring affair in the first twenty four minutes. PG thirteen had 105 00:06:18.680 --> 00:06:21.800 just seven points in the first half. He would outdo that in the third 106 00:06:21.879 --> 00:06:27.360 quarter alone labat nearside corners swing it right and winning Greek for George come hover 107 00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:33.120 PG. Thirteen makes a brain sixty eight sixty LA down the right Allen George, 108 00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:41.680 Hanks gregsonn PG thirteen big finish fifteen points, seventy to sixty two LA 109 00:06:42.040 --> 00:06:46.240 George Shorge corner J Canton on the near side. PG was seventeen nights mine 110 00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:50.319 by Leonard with his fourth assistant the night and at seventy nine sixty eight LA. 111 00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:55.600 Paul George with ten points in the third quarter alone and the Clippers were 112 00:06:55.639 --> 00:07:00.040 starting to create some separation. They led by nine. After three, it 113 00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:03.839 was eighty three to seventy four, and then the two one three connection would 114 00:07:03.879 --> 00:07:08.000 take him home down the stretch. In the fourth. Let's see if George 115 00:07:08.040 --> 00:07:10.639 and get going again. With seventeen point Gerald step in the lane, floats 116 00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:14.079 with the left hand, banks it in over a double team from Paul George. 117 00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:17.160 He's got nineteen eighty seven seventy nine Clippers off a screen to his right 118 00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:21.000 from Man George crossover on Trent Ben's off step back three throw line. Jay 119 00:07:21.079 --> 00:07:27.920 Is butter p g with a game high twenty one and it's ninety one eighty 120 00:07:27.920 --> 00:07:30.839 two lay clocks and drive middle steps it back on Vin. He now drives 121 00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:34.759 down the right alley to the rim and slams with two Paul George climbs the 122 00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:40.319 imaginary latter. He's got twenty three and La leads by ten ninety five eighty 123 00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:46.519 five Leonard into the farnt four down the left alley, lind Kawai Leonard, 124 00:07:46.439 --> 00:07:51.879 the biggest Kawhi light of the year. He just post her poodle. He 125 00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:59.079 put him in the rim. There's a funny lying inside Time Out Toronto. 126 00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:05.839 One hundred eighty five feell intentions from Kawai. One of the best calls of 127 00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:11.240 the year by Noah Eagle. Full disclosure. It was kind of telegraphed. 128 00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:13.439 I could see what Kawhi was up to. We all could, and I 129 00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:18.000 grabbed Noah's right arm and he's still got off the perfect call. What a 130 00:08:18.079 --> 00:08:24.839 play from Kawhi Leonard. Just another statement on back type of dunk from him, 131 00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:28.360 one of his five in this one. But that was the most dramatic 132 00:08:28.519 --> 00:08:33.159 in the fourth quarter over a player he was traded for a few years ago 133 00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:37.120 in Yaku Pearle, and it looked as close as a dunk as we've seen 134 00:08:37.879 --> 00:08:41.000 since. The Kawhi dunk on Derrick Favors in the same game in Game four 135 00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:45.840 against the Utah Jazz right here in downtown Los Angeles before he tore the acl 136 00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:48.720 So it was just great to see him respond like this. Great to see 137 00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:54.039 the Clippers after a really rough first quarter where they had seven turnovers, only 138 00:08:54.440 --> 00:08:58.879 have ten the rest of the way and really pull away late. A nice 139 00:08:58.960 --> 00:09:03.519 lob from PG thirteen to have Visa zoobots down the stretch as well. That 140 00:09:03.679 --> 00:09:07.000 kind of stealed this one. Clippers win one O eight to one hundred over 141 00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:11.399 the Raptors here from Crypto dot com Arena. Coming up next, we'll preview 142 00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:16.120 Saturday's game two more days off. It's weird, get used to it. 143 00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:18.279 There's a reason that the Clippers had one of the toughest schedules to start off 144 00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:22.519 this season and play sixty one games before the All Star Break. I believe 145 00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:26.559 it's the first time it's ever happened, or it's the second, but it's 146 00:09:26.600 --> 00:09:31.000 happened only to the Clippers so far. Into a dumb camp comes soon enough. 147 00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:33.679 Coming up next. More Clippers post game right here on Los Angeles Clippers 148 00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:37.440 righty do new Henny got it? Count it from distance? The odds on 149 00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:41.960 favorite to hoist Hilary o'bride heavily contest it and it doesn't matter. On the 150 00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:46.879 home of your LA Clippers. Clippers win one o eight to one hundred over 151 00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:50.159 the Toronto Raptors at Crypto dot com areno welcome back into your postgame show. 152 00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:54.320 I'm not a Moslin. Coming up in just a little bit here on AM 153 00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:56.120 five seventy LA Sports, we'll have Clippers talk for you. Eight six six 154 00:09:56.240 --> 00:10:01.039 ninety eight seven two five seventy eight sixty six ninety eight seven two seventy is 155 00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:05.399 the phone number. I do want to remind you. Saturday's game is an 156 00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:09.960 afternoon start here in downtown, LA. Clippers taken on the New York Knicks, 157 00:10:11.080 --> 00:10:15.399 one of the hottest teams in the league. Julius Randall is taking his 158 00:10:15.600 --> 00:10:18.360 game up a notch recently. I want to say they've won eighth straight. 159 00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:22.519 I want to make sure I get that right and give them their respect because 160 00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:26.159 they've been playing superb basketball and of certainly, oh, they just took it 161 00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:30.639 out to the Charlotte Hornets, one of the worst teams of the league. 162 00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:33.120 Now, I don't know the conditions of that. There could be some caveats. 163 00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:37.399 Some guys could have been out, but before that they had won eight 164 00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:45.720 straight and it looks like ten of their last eleven. This next team is 165 00:10:45.840 --> 00:10:48.720 good, not gonna be an easy one, especially because we know how things 166 00:10:48.759 --> 00:10:54.240 work with the Clippers, and slow starts during afternoons afternoon contests can't happen on 167 00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:58.240 Saturday. They got to figure things out early. They eventually did in this 168 00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:01.759 one after trailing twenty five to seven team to the Raptors, and they had 169 00:11:01.799 --> 00:11:05.080 seven turnovers in that first quarter, but the rest of the way just ten. 170 00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:09.840 And they had some separation in the fourth quarter and some continuity with lineups 171 00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:13.159 that coach lou went with for an extended period of time. We'll talk about 172 00:11:13.240 --> 00:11:16.360 that coming up on Clippers Talk. Saturday's ball game, though tip time is 173 00:11:16.399 --> 00:11:20.399 that one.

I'm out of Boslin eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy 190 00:12:39.480 --> 00:12:43.320 eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy is the phone number coming up 191 00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:48.080 Your calls Plus coach Lou looking for Kawhi Leonard postgame audio as well, and 192 00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:54.279 Charles Mockler from Clips in dip will be here. I thought coming out in 193 00:12:54.360 --> 00:12:56.200 this one, the Clippers just didn't look right, didn't look to be in 194 00:12:56.279 --> 00:13:00.600 sync. There was very little carry over from what we saw the night against 195 00:13:00.600 --> 00:13:03.279 the Memphis Grizzlies, when I wanted them to bottle up those nine minutes when 196 00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:09.480 they outscored the grizz by twenty to come back down fifteen. The only team 197 00:13:09.720 --> 00:13:13.279 so far this season to have a comeback of that fashion where you're down by 198 00:13:13.360 --> 00:13:18.639 fifteen or more entering the fourth quarter this season. Everyone else was oz in 199 00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:22.120 two thirty nine. But the Clippers made that happen on Sunday, and they 200 00:13:22.200 --> 00:13:28.440 willed it with defense. And while I thought their defense was okay in the 201 00:13:28.559 --> 00:13:31.279 first quarter, it was the turnovers that were doing them in. They had 202 00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:35.240 seven of them, leading to nine points for the Raptors. When they weren't 203 00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:39.120 turning it over, when they were actually able to get shots up, they 204 00:13:39.159 --> 00:13:41.840 were six of thirteen from the fields. They actually held the Raptors in that 205 00:13:41.960 --> 00:13:46.799 first quarter to nine of twenty three shooting. That's under forty percent. That's 206 00:13:46.840 --> 00:13:52.679 basically where they finished at the game or in the final box score. They 207 00:13:52.799 --> 00:13:56.559 held the Raptors under forty percent in this one, it was just them cleaning 208 00:13:56.639 --> 00:14:00.559 up the turnovers, and all of a sudden you saw a very different Clippers 209 00:14:00.639 --> 00:14:03.720 ball club, one that could score at a rate of fifty five percent from 210 00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:07.360 the field, one that still struggled from the outside and only took twenty three 211 00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:11.840 pointers but hit six of them. Hit someone they needed them. PG thirteen 212 00:14:13.320 --> 00:14:16.879 nailed one in the fourth quarter, but he and Kawhi Leonard, just like 213 00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:20.120 against the Memphis Grizzlies, down the stretch of this one, there was a 214 00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:24.399 different level of intensity and urgency on that end, and the Clippers were playing 215 00:14:24.519 --> 00:14:28.159 five guys on a string. And by the way, what a difference rest 216 00:14:28.240 --> 00:14:31.919 makes, and what a difference a healthy Paul George makes. This is the 217 00:14:31.039 --> 00:14:37.000 best he has looked all season movement wise. That is not hyperbolic at all. 218 00:14:37.320 --> 00:14:41.279 He talked about it after the last game. He's feeling healthy. He 219 00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:45.279 can actually bounce off of his right foot. His right knee was giving him 220 00:14:45.320 --> 00:14:50.639 those issues. He stepped up defensively in that fourth quarter and was just going 221 00:14:50.720 --> 00:14:54.559 to clamp City with it, and there were some great individual efforts on that 222 00:14:54.840 --> 00:14:58.480 end. Even though Gary Trent Junior made a jumper on PG to start the 223 00:14:58.519 --> 00:15:01.720 fourth, he was all over him, and then we saw it was Terrence 224 00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:07.960 man on Pascal Siaka was some great individual defense drew him to miss, and 225 00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:13.840 then Nicholas Patum on Scotty Barnes was some great defense. And then Kauai getting 226 00:15:13.879 --> 00:15:20.320 a steel getting out in transition and also having five throwdowns against his former squad. 227 00:15:20.120 --> 00:15:24.080 Yeah, he only had twenty four points below his average sinister January, 228 00:15:24.679 --> 00:15:31.960 but he was eight of fifteen and showed off the athleticism and just further progress 229 00:15:31.039 --> 00:15:35.960 along this ACEO comeback trail he's been on. But that was a statement dunk 230 00:15:37.240 --> 00:15:39.720 on Yaka Pearle one are the guys he was traded for. I don't know 231 00:15:39.799 --> 00:15:43.519 if he was thinking about that when he went up for it, but you 232 00:15:43.639 --> 00:15:46.919 could tell he wanted that one. It was the closest dunk that reminded me 233 00:15:48.039 --> 00:15:50.960 most of what he did to Derek Favors in that playoff game right before tearing 234 00:15:50.960 --> 00:15:58.320 the atl. It was a thing to witness here in downtown Los Angeles and 235 00:15:58.399 --> 00:16:03.039 the highlight it may end up number one on Sports Center tonight Kawhi Leonard. 236 00:16:03.080 --> 00:16:07.080 Though having five dunks in a game is not insignificant, It's not just bad 237 00:16:07.200 --> 00:16:11.000 defense. It's a guy who was in attack mode and feels healthy and has 238 00:16:11.039 --> 00:16:18.080 been playing thirty seven minutes a game since January seventh, and played thirty nine 239 00:16:18.120 --> 00:16:22.320 minutes in this one. Outside of missing some back to backs here and there, 240 00:16:22.360 --> 00:16:26.240 he's been playing pretty much every game. He's been at fifty fifty ninety 241 00:16:26.279 --> 00:16:32.519 splits. He's been absurd. But Paul George now getting back to where he 242 00:16:32.679 --> 00:16:37.919 can be athletically dealing with the right knee soreness a hamstring issue earlier this season. 243 00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:41.120 He had multiple dunks. In fact, on the night the Clippers, 244 00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:47.519 and I'm getting this from Trey b on Twitter, they had fourteen total dunks, 245 00:16:48.120 --> 00:16:51.320 five from Kawhi I want to say, three from pg A, couple 246 00:16:51.399 --> 00:16:56.080 from Terrence Man, and three or four from Visa Zubas. But those fourteen 247 00:16:56.159 --> 00:17:00.480 dunks total a season high. They were playing with more four moored downhill attack 248 00:17:00.600 --> 00:17:04.920 and scored sixty points in the paint. This is a team that only averages 249 00:17:06.000 --> 00:17:10.960 forty three. They had forty eight points through three quarters. Sixty from them 250 00:17:11.039 --> 00:17:14.000 is a huge number, and that's how you counter not having a big night 251 00:17:14.079 --> 00:17:17.839 from the outside, just going six of twenty there. Even though that's where 252 00:17:17.839 --> 00:17:19.720 the Raptors were better. They shot it better from three than two. They 253 00:17:19.759 --> 00:17:25.279 were thirteen of thirty two from the outside, but the Clippers ended up with 254 00:17:25.440 --> 00:17:29.039 nine offensive rebounds. The Raptors still beat him in that area because they were 255 00:17:29.079 --> 00:17:30.599 getting to some early in the ball game. They were getting to some late 256 00:17:32.160 --> 00:17:34.599 and made a push. But I thought probably the play of the game, 257 00:17:36.319 --> 00:17:38.400 and this is some growth and some progress from this team that has had their 258 00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:45.599 struggles executing late. But we saw a lineup that was consistently out there throughout 259 00:17:45.720 --> 00:17:49.680 most of the fourth quarter, and it was with Terrence Mann, Eric Gordon, 260 00:17:49.759 --> 00:17:56.599 Kawai PG and Big Zoo, and they worked well and their defense was 261 00:17:56.759 --> 00:18:00.359 on point. But it was Paul George bringing it up there after Eric Gordon 262 00:18:00.440 --> 00:18:03.480 gave it to him with under a minute left in a four point game that 263 00:18:03.559 --> 00:18:08.240 I thought made the biggest play. He saw Big Zoo and they were looking 264 00:18:08.319 --> 00:18:11.079 for him from the beginning of the second half, trying to get him more 265 00:18:11.160 --> 00:18:15.079 involved. Russell Westbrook did a very good job with that. He had four 266 00:18:15.119 --> 00:18:18.200 assists in the first seven minutes of the third quarter, but with forty two 267 00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:22.119 seconds left, PG thirteen through an alley up up to Vitsa Zoo Boss. 268 00:18:22.240 --> 00:18:26.000 That put him up six. That pretty much put the ball game away. 269 00:18:26.119 --> 00:18:30.400 Kawi would sink some free throws to put him up by eight. One oh 270 00:18:30.559 --> 00:18:34.759 eight one hundred was your final. Paul Georges had his own struggles with turnovers 271 00:18:36.599 --> 00:18:41.440 and most of them coming at the end of games. I thought he was 272 00:18:41.599 --> 00:18:45.359 very much in control and he read that play beautifully with he and as a 273 00:18:45.400 --> 00:18:52.599 big man in Big Zoo who speaking of health, after playing just seventeen minutes 274 00:18:52.400 --> 00:18:56.119 last game against Memphis on a minute restriction, I believe still is. But 275 00:18:56.200 --> 00:19:02.559 he plays twenty seven tonight and looked explosive. He also had a huge throwdown 276 00:19:02.680 --> 00:19:06.200 on multiple defenders. He had a dunk at the end of the first half 277 00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:10.119 that didn't count, just couldn't get it quite through in time before the red 278 00:19:10.200 --> 00:19:14.559 light went off. Big Zoo was dominant. And if you want to talk 279 00:19:14.559 --> 00:19:18.960 about a team trying to flip their defense around and get them pointed back in 280 00:19:18.960 --> 00:19:22.200 the right direction, Big Zoo is a huge part of that. It beats 281 00:19:22.200 --> 00:19:25.920 the Zoo Bots when they were playing good defense early in the season. It 282 00:19:26.079 --> 00:19:30.759 was the way he was able to patrol the paint and be that classic defensive 283 00:19:30.839 --> 00:19:37.519 anchor and a smart defensive player with rotations and making up for other guys deficiencies 284 00:19:37.559 --> 00:19:41.079 out there. He's that good. We were talking about him being the best 285 00:19:41.119 --> 00:19:44.880 defensive center in the league. To start off this season. Nobody was better 286 00:19:45.240 --> 00:19:48.920 within six feet in the restricted area than it beats the zoo Bots. So 287 00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:51.240 if they're gonna get back to that level, if they are going to find 288 00:19:51.279 --> 00:19:56.319 that flip to switch, Zubots has to be healthy, has to look right, 289 00:19:56.440 --> 00:20:00.640 and tonight he did. He Kauai, Pa Old George, those three 290 00:20:00.960 --> 00:20:04.440 looking this spride. The Clippers look dare I say for an older team, 291 00:20:04.599 --> 00:20:11.319 damn near athletic tonight these guys look different. And it was a bad first 292 00:20:11.400 --> 00:20:15.759 quarter, yes, but it was mostly self inflicted. I joked at one 293 00:20:15.799 --> 00:20:18.440 point Clippers were down thirty four to thirty one, and I said, the 294 00:20:18.480 --> 00:20:22.359 Clippers are losing to the Clippers thirty four to thirty one. They couldn't say 295 00:20:22.359 --> 00:20:29.079 out of their own way. They were beating themselves just through turnovers. Gotta 296 00:20:29.119 --> 00:20:33.359 clean that up. They have averaged seventeen in the last seven games out of 297 00:20:33.400 --> 00:20:37.319 the All Star break, where now they are two and five. But they've 298 00:20:37.480 --> 00:20:42.519 made it two in a row, and we've seen them maybe start to turn 299 00:20:42.599 --> 00:20:47.519 a little bit of a corner, and coach lou going with those rotations and 300 00:20:47.640 --> 00:20:51.039 sticking with guys and riding guys in the hot hand out there. And Terrence 301 00:20:51.119 --> 00:20:53.400 Man, who have played the last seven team in is the ballgame when he 302 00:20:53.599 --> 00:20:57.920 came in and the third after a really good stint from Russell Westbrook again four 303 00:20:57.960 --> 00:21:02.599 assists and a couple of those were two of Visa Zoo Bots early in the 304 00:21:02.680 --> 00:21:06.559 third quarter got the Clippers offense going. That was their highest scoring quarter at 305 00:21:06.599 --> 00:21:11.359 thirty four. But then Terrence Man, it was like it hit that second 306 00:21:11.559 --> 00:21:17.079 rocket booster, that other ignition, and he kept them going. He kept 307 00:21:17.160 --> 00:21:21.039 them playing with pace and getting into transition. Really from the second quarter on, 308 00:21:21.200 --> 00:21:23.440 this team played a lot faster. Guys were pushing the ball at the 309 00:21:23.480 --> 00:21:29.359 court. But to go from Russell Westbrook then to Terrence Man there to keep 310 00:21:29.480 --> 00:21:33.519 that same motor. That was good to see because those two in the first 311 00:21:33.559 --> 00:21:36.319 half actually I thought, really got them back into it into the second quarter 312 00:21:36.359 --> 00:21:40.240 when they were playing on the court together, but then they were staggered and 313 00:21:40.400 --> 00:21:44.519 Russell Westbrook didn't come back into the ball game a Visa Zoo Bots or excuse 314 00:21:44.599 --> 00:21:47.039 me. Marcus Morris did not as well when he stubbed out in the third 315 00:21:47.119 --> 00:21:49.079 quarter, and coach Luke just said, I'm gonna ride with the guys who 316 00:21:49.119 --> 00:21:56.480 were playing great right now. Three starters in Kawai pg Zoo and then Eric 317 00:21:56.559 --> 00:22:00.799 Gordon, Terrence Man, some Nicholas, but two was thrown in there. 318 00:22:02.200 --> 00:22:07.640 But it worked. It worked beautifully. Their switchability was there, and I 319 00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:12.599 just loved seeing that level of intensity from them digging in their heels on defense. 320 00:22:14.440 --> 00:22:17.200 There were glimpses in this game of what we've been asking to see all 321 00:22:17.279 --> 00:22:21.079 season long from this team. Paul George said it after they're winning Memphis, 322 00:22:21.079 --> 00:22:25.319 when they came back big down late, he said, they just played harder. 323 00:22:26.440 --> 00:22:32.119 I mean, sometimes it's that simple. Play harder, and defensively, 324 00:22:33.119 --> 00:22:37.000 guys took the challenge of staying in front of their man. It's been an 325 00:22:37.039 --> 00:22:41.279 issue all season long. While we have a moment less pause ten seconds for 326 00:22:41.359 --> 00:22:44.920 station identification here on the Los Angeles Clippers, or you're not working a five 327 00:22:44.960 --> 00:22:52.680 seventy spors this is LA Clippers Basketball KLAC Los Angeles seven KYSR HD to Los 328 00:22:52.759 --> 00:22:56.599 Angeles and iHeart radio station.

Eight six six nine eight seven two seventy is the phone number. 330 00:23:00.599 --> 00:23:06.680 Eight six six ninety eight seven two five seventy. Let's go too before 331 00:23:06.720 --> 00:23:08.319 we get to Big Zoo. We got postgame audio there, Howie in the 332 00:23:08.359 --> 00:23:11.759 eight one eight you're on Clipper stock with Adam Moslin. So, Howie, 333 00:23:11.880 --> 00:23:15.480 Adam, I love your passion. Man, you got a lot of passion 334 00:23:15.519 --> 00:23:18.799 tonight. Boy, that brings it out of me. Exhibition. You see 335 00:23:18.839 --> 00:23:22.359 a performance like that the last three quarters, the potential of this squad, 336 00:23:22.559 --> 00:23:26.640 even with things for the most part, not going their way so far this 337 00:23:26.759 --> 00:23:30.079 season. I tell, I tell everybody in Clipper Nation keep the faith. 338 00:23:32.160 --> 00:23:34.480 Yeah, thank you for nagging Zoo, because boy, what a difference. 339 00:23:34.599 --> 00:23:37.880 I mean, what a major, major difference when he plays like that. 340 00:23:40.799 --> 00:23:44.519 I got some calls the other night, and I love Mason plumbly. Do 341 00:23:44.720 --> 00:23:49.359 not get me wrong. He was a player. He's not the defensive center 342 00:23:49.400 --> 00:23:55.960 of each zoobots is not many are. This guy has been decriminally underrated for 343 00:23:56.119 --> 00:23:59.960 years. He dominated it. Yeah, I think we slipped up into the 344 00:24:00.079 --> 00:24:03.279 sixth spot, didn't we? Warriors lost last night? Dallas lost tonight. 345 00:24:03.319 --> 00:24:07.640 I'm gonna update the standings in just a little bit. Howid but you got 346 00:24:07.640 --> 00:24:10.279 anything else you want to say about the night's ball game? No great? 347 00:24:10.279 --> 00:24:12.880 Garon also shout out to Terrence Man. Terence Mann played a great game tonight, 348 00:24:12.960 --> 00:24:18.119 a really great game, one of his better games, his best game, 349 00:24:18.160 --> 00:24:22.119 i'd say, post All Star break, after having the great game against 350 00:24:22.160 --> 00:24:23.279 Phoenix going into the All Star break. How are we? Thank you for 351 00:24:23.359 --> 00:24:26.920 the phone call. Let's go to Javier and Lahabber Heights. Javier, you're 352 00:24:26.960 --> 00:24:30.720 on Clippers stoff for that. I'm aslt. What's up? Thank you for 353 00:24:30.799 --> 00:24:34.839 taking my car again? Yeah? You know, what's the difference a couple 354 00:24:34.920 --> 00:24:38.720 of days off? Mate? When they they look fresh, they look young. 355 00:24:40.200 --> 00:24:44.279 I mean it's just that first quarter graph of that. I mean it's 356 00:24:44.319 --> 00:24:48.039 funny, Javier, and I understand the sentiment that people's, you know, 357 00:24:48.119 --> 00:24:52.920 they want to see them. These professionals play at their highest level all the 358 00:24:52.039 --> 00:24:56.160 time, like their robots, regardless of travel schedule, back to back. 359 00:24:56.240 --> 00:25:00.839 Who's on the court. But the truth is the not even Kawhi Leonard, 360 00:25:02.440 --> 00:25:07.000 even the terminator, and a couple of days off, they get their legs 361 00:25:07.039 --> 00:25:10.920 back, especially with an older team like this, it's visible. You can 362 00:25:11.039 --> 00:25:15.039 see the difference in their play out there in the pop that they have no 363 00:25:15.319 --> 00:25:18.480 for sure. I mean you saw it in Zoo Box, you saw it 364 00:25:18.559 --> 00:25:22.599 in and uh in Kawai. What was what we have five done? I 365 00:25:22.720 --> 00:25:26.319 mean I was like, man, this is a Kawai san Antonio's first back 366 00:25:26.400 --> 00:25:30.720 in the day. And I could just see in the fourth quarter. I 367 00:25:32.119 --> 00:25:33.559 was like, you know what, They're not gonna lead, They're gonna finish 368 00:25:33.640 --> 00:25:37.200 the house. And they did. I mean, they got down to four 369 00:25:37.000 --> 00:25:40.480 points, but I said, you know, they'll win this game, and 370 00:25:40.759 --> 00:25:44.960 they did. They one by eight, so it's a it's good game. 371 00:25:45.000 --> 00:25:47.960 And then you know they have the Knicks on Sunday, so I mean on 372 00:25:48.079 --> 00:25:51.480 Saturday, right Saturday, so it's a new game, and I'll be there 373 00:25:51.480 --> 00:25:53.559 at the game. That's one of my games. So they got to keep 374 00:25:53.599 --> 00:25:59.920 it going at them, the lasting at them. Here with Marcus Morris, 375 00:26:00.000 --> 00:26:02.680 I mean, I know I talked to him all year. Is he ever 376 00:26:02.720 --> 00:26:04.400 going to take him out of starting nine? Adam? I mean, in 377 00:26:04.839 --> 00:26:08.640 your opinion, that's all I gotta say. I'll talk to you on Saturday, 378 00:26:08.799 --> 00:26:11.039 all right, Javier. I appreciate the phone call, Coach, lu 379 00:26:11.160 --> 00:26:18.640 talked about it pre game and talked about the continuity of having these four guys 380 00:26:19.160 --> 00:26:22.319 played together for a few years now and what that meant to the team, 381 00:26:22.480 --> 00:26:30.559 Kawhi, PG, Zoobots and Marcus Morris, and the quote was this, 382 00:26:30.759 --> 00:26:33.960 I want to make sure I get it right. It's coming from Joey Ellen, 383 00:26:33.119 --> 00:26:37.960 one of the great reporters for SI now who covers the Clippers quote. 384 00:26:37.079 --> 00:26:41.680 Coach Lew said this pre game regarding that quote. With our starting unit, 385 00:26:41.799 --> 00:26:45.039 we know one thing that's been here for three to four years. It's Marcus, 386 00:26:45.119 --> 00:26:47.720 PG, Kawai and Zoo, So we got to start building off of 387 00:26:47.759 --> 00:26:49.799 that. And we've been really good offensively with those four guys starting. We 388 00:26:49.960 --> 00:26:55.400 just have to make sure defensively we have a defensive mindset. So I don't 389 00:26:55.440 --> 00:26:59.319 know if that is going to change. But Marcus started the third quarter, 390 00:27:00.119 --> 00:27:03.680 and when he and Russell Westbrook went to the bench, Coach Slew went with 391 00:27:03.799 --> 00:27:08.440 what was working. The rest of the way, there was certainly a little 392 00:27:08.440 --> 00:27:14.519 bit more of we gotta get this one tonight. There was that type of 393 00:27:15.160 --> 00:27:18.680 energy out there and just seeing them go with the guys that are playing the 394 00:27:18.759 --> 00:27:23.039 best right now, and I love seeing that I think we're going to see 395 00:27:23.079 --> 00:27:26.000 more of that. The rest of the way was just fourteen games left. 396 00:27:26.079 --> 00:27:30.039 Quick time out here eight six sixty nine eight seven two five seventy eight six 397 00:27:30.119 --> 00:27:33.200 sixty nine eight seven two five seventies. The phone number coming up next, 398 00:27:33.359 --> 00:27:37.319 back to your phone calls. This is Clipper Stock here on Amp five seventy 399 00:27:37.400 --> 00:27:41.759 l A Sports George and Leonard running. You're listening to LA Clippers basketball. 400 00:27:41.079 --> 00:27:45.279 But I'm tough. Clipper puts it down plus the foul every game all season 401 00:27:45.400 --> 00:27:49.839 long. On their official hold, Clippers went one eight to one hundred here 402 00:27:49.920 --> 00:27:53.880 at home over the Toronto Raptors. Welcome back into crypto dot com arena. 403 00:27:53.960 --> 00:27:57.240 This is Clipper Stock. I'm out a Moslin eight six six ninety eight seven 404 00:27:57.319 --> 00:28:02.480 two five seventy eight sixty six nine eight seven two five seventies. The phone 405 00:28:02.519 --> 00:28:06.559 number. One of the more underrated ways the Clippers won this game. That 406 00:28:06.640 --> 00:28:11.240 Dennis Degastino are statisticians to the stars over here. Just point out the Clippers 407 00:28:11.559 --> 00:28:18.160 attempted thirty one free throws last game. They attempted thirty five. Both of 408 00:28:18.240 --> 00:28:22.200 those are really good numbers. Both of those feign to this team. But 409 00:28:22.279 --> 00:28:26.160 they've been getting into the paint and attacking more, and while they did miss 410 00:28:26.240 --> 00:28:30.039 seven of them, still getting up thirty one. You could win games at 411 00:28:30.079 --> 00:28:33.599 the free throw line. I thought that definitely kept them in it early on 412 00:28:33.240 --> 00:28:37.240 when they were turning the basketball over and having some struggles. In fact, 413 00:28:37.279 --> 00:28:41.319 at the half they had fifteen free throw attempts to just four for the Toronto 414 00:28:41.400 --> 00:28:45.960 Raptors. So they did a nice job overall defending without fouling while playing aggressive 415 00:28:45.000 --> 00:28:49.799 defense. All right, Chris and La Chris, you're on Clippers stock without 416 00:28:49.880 --> 00:28:55.000 mass Hi, Chris, Hey, how are you? There's a big win 417 00:28:55.119 --> 00:29:00.920 there. I would say that it looks like the lineups from this game from 418 00:29:00.920 --> 00:29:04.759 a twenty three minute standpoint to Terrence Man playing twenty nine minutes with him playing 419 00:29:04.799 --> 00:29:08.359 down the stretch was the key. Right. So the rotation now with fifteen 420 00:29:08.440 --> 00:29:12.440 games left, is starting to get tighter. You know, you saw Zoback 421 00:29:12.480 --> 00:29:17.920 with twenty seven minutes and Plumbly only playing sixteen, So those are like they 422 00:29:18.039 --> 00:29:21.319 looked at this as a playoff game. They only shot twenty three pointers, 423 00:29:21.480 --> 00:29:23.759 which I've always believed that at the Clippers shoot you know, twenty five to 424 00:29:23.839 --> 00:29:27.440 thirty two, thirty three, three, pointers that puts them right where they 425 00:29:27.519 --> 00:29:30.799 need to be. So I felt, all in all, it was a 426 00:29:30.880 --> 00:29:36.519 fantastic game, and attacking the paint was key, you know, the efficiency 427 00:29:36.799 --> 00:29:41.519 and really allowing Westbrook to be the positive role that he can play on the 428 00:29:41.599 --> 00:29:45.160 team, but not putting too much on him in the fact that he just 429 00:29:45.319 --> 00:29:49.519 came over. I really liked this game from Russell Westbrook and the way he 430 00:29:49.759 --> 00:29:56.559 was in control, especially in that third quarter where, yeah, Russ at 431 00:29:56.599 --> 00:30:02.839 one point look to have an open layup and instead I want to say, 432 00:30:02.880 --> 00:30:07.039 he made a tough pass to a Visa Zubos who missed the shot, and 433 00:30:07.119 --> 00:30:10.599 I thought to myself, he was a little bit too unselfish there. And 434 00:30:10.920 --> 00:30:15.039 you don't always say that about Russ because he's just so aggressive and he's gonna 435 00:30:15.079 --> 00:30:18.480 try to get his But I have felt like there have been clear cut moments 436 00:30:18.519 --> 00:30:21.920 as a Clipper where he has been more in control and has been a much 437 00:30:21.960 --> 00:30:25.440 better decision maker and just trying to get the rest of the guys going, 438 00:30:25.920 --> 00:30:29.039 and I thought he did a fantastic job of that early in the third quarter 439 00:30:30.279 --> 00:30:33.839 in twenty three minutes to have seven assess I mean, look, he's a 440 00:30:33.960 --> 00:30:37.680 piece to me that is an upgrade from John wall He's All of Famer, 441 00:30:37.759 --> 00:30:40.920 we all know that, and he's just getting acclimated and him and PG have 442 00:30:41.039 --> 00:30:45.240 that chemistry. But I also like the fact that there was a couple of 443 00:30:45.279 --> 00:30:48.400 times where Paul George hadn't shot the ball much going into the third quarter and 444 00:30:48.640 --> 00:30:52.039 Kawai made it. Made it. Hey, Paul, you know, go 445 00:30:52.160 --> 00:30:53.759 post up your man. You have a mismatch, and remember that in the 446 00:30:53.839 --> 00:30:57.000 third quarter about halfway through, you know, getting PG his touches, but 447 00:30:57.119 --> 00:31:00.440 later in the game, letting Kawhi establish it. But also the others. 448 00:31:00.480 --> 00:31:03.599 I mean, you know, it's all about the analytics. If you look 449 00:31:03.640 --> 00:31:07.480 at Westbrook three of six and Man six of seven, right, you know 450 00:31:07.519 --> 00:31:11.160 that's not an analytics. That's as basically box scores you can go. But 451 00:31:11.279 --> 00:31:14.000 yeah, I mean it's as basic as you can go. Right. So 452 00:31:14.160 --> 00:31:17.599 the reality of it is they're ready. I think you'll see over these next 453 00:31:17.720 --> 00:31:22.839 fourteen games remaining you know what we saw tonight, a titan bench and going 454 00:31:22.920 --> 00:31:26.680 with the hot hand, but also letting Man be the closer. And it's 455 00:31:26.720 --> 00:31:30.960 regards regarding Marcus Morris, Marcus Morris Senior will always start for the Clippers, 456 00:31:30.000 --> 00:31:34.640 and anyone who says he doesn't doesn't understand the dynamics that twenty four months ago 457 00:31:34.720 --> 00:31:37.799 or whatever it was, we were going to the Western Conference Finals with Marcus 458 00:31:37.839 --> 00:31:44.200 Morris shooting over forty percent from three. He can start the game and finish 459 00:31:44.359 --> 00:31:47.400 and start the third quarter and again down the stretch. He may not be 460 00:31:47.480 --> 00:31:49.240 part of that small ball lineup he's you know, it will probably be, 461 00:31:49.359 --> 00:31:55.079 but tune Paul, George Kauai and whomever else is in man and whoever else. 462 00:31:55.200 --> 00:31:57.640 But if it is great, Marcus Morris is a key component to this 463 00:31:57.720 --> 00:32:02.400 teaming, some sort of toughness, like I appreciate the phone call. Look 464 00:32:02.799 --> 00:32:07.200 what happened twenty four months ago, and I love Marcus, but he's been 465 00:32:07.240 --> 00:32:09.799 in a funk. You can't just go off of what happened twenty four months 466 00:32:09.839 --> 00:32:14.240 ago and say that's who he is as a player today. And I don't 467 00:32:14.279 --> 00:32:17.599 think coach lew is doing that. I think he's evaluating and saying, Okay, 468 00:32:17.720 --> 00:32:22.160 this is somebody that helps spread the floor when PG and Choir out there. 469 00:32:23.160 --> 00:32:28.039 And yeah, traditionally those three have been very good together. But at 470 00:32:28.119 --> 00:32:30.480 some point down the stretch from the guys in that big of a funk, 471 00:32:30.400 --> 00:32:32.880 Well, you gotta go with someone else, And he did it tonight. 472 00:32:32.960 --> 00:32:36.920 He's done it multiple times coming out of the All Star break where he went 473 00:32:36.960 --> 00:32:42.960 away from one of his starters. Let's go to Oh Got Mike and La 474 00:32:43.559 --> 00:32:47.839 Mike, you're on clipperstock. I just want to give a shout out to 475 00:32:47.960 --> 00:32:52.680 Pence who played such an amazing game and we just look so much better with 476 00:32:52.839 --> 00:32:57.880 him on the floor. It's amazing. The other thing is that I was 477 00:32:58.039 --> 00:33:02.920 thinking watching tonight, you know, if we had a healthy Zoobos for this 478 00:33:05.240 --> 00:33:08.720 five game losing streak, you know, the two Sacramento games, in the 479 00:33:08.799 --> 00:33:14.000 Denver game, at least one of these has to be at w course. 480 00:33:14.160 --> 00:33:15.519 Mike, You've heard me say it. I don't think they lose five in 481 00:33:15.599 --> 00:33:20.680 a row if it beats the Zoo bosses out there and healthy, I mean, 482 00:33:20.839 --> 00:33:24.319 he's so important for him being healthy, and you know, playing like 483 00:33:24.519 --> 00:33:29.799 he's capable of is so important for this team being what it is. And 484 00:33:30.240 --> 00:33:37.119 I know also this guys overshadow, but that blocked by Rust in the in 485 00:33:37.200 --> 00:33:39.359 the second quarter, I know, you know, the rest of the team 486 00:33:39.440 --> 00:33:45.920 kind of you know, didn't follow up on it, and you know resulted 487 00:33:45.960 --> 00:33:51.359 an offensive rebounded Donal Clan That block was really nice. You know, I 488 00:33:51.440 --> 00:33:54.599 appreciated the block he had. Yeah, that I think it sounded like flop. 489 00:33:54.680 --> 00:33:57.799 I think you're talking about the block. I think we're on the same 490 00:33:57.839 --> 00:34:01.960 page here. That block he had when the Raptors got in transition and nobody 491 00:34:02.039 --> 00:34:05.640 else helped him out to get the basketball. The Clippers were late in getting 492 00:34:05.680 --> 00:34:08.039 back. That's been an issue all season long. Still plenty of stuff to 493 00:34:08.119 --> 00:34:13.000 tighten up, obviously, when you're just two games above five hundred and two 494 00:34:13.039 --> 00:34:16.960 and five in your last seven. But the athleticism and explosiveness from Russell Westbrook 495 00:34:17.039 --> 00:34:21.440 on that block was insane. When Lawrence Frank was talking about, hey, 496 00:34:21.480 --> 00:34:24.199 he's thirty four and he still might be arguably the best athlete on this team. 497 00:34:24.400 --> 00:34:28.519 Still, he showed it off there. Mike, thank you for the 498 00:34:28.519 --> 00:34:30.480 phone call. Lenny in Inglewood, Lenny your on Clippers stop without Oslin. 499 00:34:32.480 --> 00:34:36.599 Hey man, a win is a win, and I'm glad we got it. 500 00:34:37.039 --> 00:34:38.840 No one's not. It matters how you win. It does? It 501 00:34:38.960 --> 00:34:44.000 matters how you win and who you beat. A cliche is a cliche is 502 00:34:44.079 --> 00:34:49.199 what that is. That's true. But we still got to do it against 503 00:34:49.360 --> 00:34:52.960 Uh, you know, so we still we still got to give those we 504 00:34:52.000 --> 00:34:55.320 got a tough schedule. Well that's exactly why a win isn't a win if 505 00:34:55.360 --> 00:34:59.880 you're already going to We got to do it against top to your competition, 506 00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:04.480 So it's not the same, that's true. And give the Raptors some credit 507 00:35:04.519 --> 00:35:07.239 though they've been playing well. They had one nine or fourteen and they just 508 00:35:07.400 --> 00:35:12.280 pushed the Denver Nuggets and almost beat them in Denver there at night. The 509 00:35:12.440 --> 00:35:15.519 Raptors I just I just a piece away from from doing something. Many they 510 00:35:15.679 --> 00:35:21.679 really that Siakam kind of Noby Scottie. You mean, they're they're they're they're 511 00:35:21.880 --> 00:35:23.840 really good. I mean they're they're a solid team. But what's the deal 512 00:35:23.880 --> 00:35:30.800 with Norn Powell. Uh, it's a shoulder injury. He was practicing getting 513 00:35:30.840 --> 00:35:36.559 shots up yesterday. But we don't exactly have a timetable on his return. 514 00:35:36.760 --> 00:35:39.840 Some people were going with the sublexation and Steph Curry had it before and it 515 00:35:39.920 --> 00:35:45.039 costed him ten games. So people are trying to project that maybe they get 516 00:35:45.119 --> 00:35:46.800 him back a week before the end of the regular season or two weeks before 517 00:35:46.800 --> 00:35:50.519 the end of the regular season. But nobody knows how he's going to respond. 518 00:35:50.599 --> 00:35:52.760 Right now, I got you, We'll listen. My last things point 519 00:35:52.800 --> 00:35:58.679 is this, I really hope that you know, I know you you've given 520 00:35:58.760 --> 00:36:01.360 Russ. You know his is credit, which you know he he's playing better, 521 00:36:02.039 --> 00:36:09.760 but the fact that Man missed some crucial minutes in his last five games 522 00:36:10.280 --> 00:36:15.119 because you know he uh, Tyler had to experiment and see what's going on. 523 00:36:15.320 --> 00:36:17.599 What's what. I hope he's done with that and he realizes, you 524 00:36:17.679 --> 00:36:22.840 know that we're a much better team with Man on the floor. Even the 525 00:36:22.920 --> 00:36:25.519 announcing, he kept staying throughout the game. He took energy, he uh, 526 00:36:27.159 --> 00:36:30.159 he just he impacts the game. Man. I think, you know, 527 00:36:30.239 --> 00:36:34.920 one of the most one of the most five most impactful players on this 528 00:36:34.960 --> 00:36:37.199 Clippers team, I think is Terrispan is one of them. Yeah, and 529 00:36:37.400 --> 00:36:44.280 I'm I've been hearing him mentioned in the same vein as uh as Maxie out 530 00:36:44.320 --> 00:36:47.159 of Philly, and that's you know he has that he's not the story is 531 00:36:47.480 --> 00:36:52.639 which he does impact the games offensively and offensively. So you know, I 532 00:36:52.719 --> 00:36:57.280 hope last said, I hope thylu uh is kind of settling in. The 533 00:36:57.320 --> 00:37:00.199 guy had some who called before him he had some good tistics and I'm weighing 534 00:37:00.239 --> 00:37:04.159 all that. So yeah, let's let's just alves that they settling in and 535 00:37:04.320 --> 00:37:07.400 and and and take it to some of these good teams because some of the 536 00:37:07.440 --> 00:37:10.480 other captain balling, I mean, no Phoenish, little scary and it's just 537 00:37:10.599 --> 00:37:15.320 it's just unfortunately, because it's the year with Memphis having these problems, if 538 00:37:15.400 --> 00:37:20.280 we would have just been where I feel we should have been, no way, 539 00:37:20.679 --> 00:37:23.519 we wouldn't been number two or one. So you know, once again, 540 00:37:23.639 --> 00:37:27.679 we we got to come from behind and prove it. So you know, 541 00:37:27.840 --> 00:37:30.360 we just got to keep going on. But I hope, I said, 542 00:37:30.360 --> 00:37:32.360 hopefully tyd Luken figure this thing out and settle in and and and and 543 00:37:32.599 --> 00:37:36.679 get and get those those kym Maason together. All right, Lenny, I 544 00:37:36.760 --> 00:37:39.199 appreciate the phone call. Eight six six ninety seven two five seventies the phone 545 00:37:39.280 --> 00:37:43.960 number. We'll come back. We'll quick take a quick time out here. 546 00:37:44.039 --> 00:37:46.840 We'll have Charles Mockler on from Clips and dip Terrence Man that third quarter, 547 00:37:46.960 --> 00:37:51.559 though, was just shot out of a cannon. He had that duncan transition 548 00:37:51.880 --> 00:37:53.679 a steal and then found Mason plumbly for an easy lay up. The show 549 00:37:53.760 --> 00:37:59.320 and go move at the end of the third quarter. Energy. He's been 550 00:37:59.360 --> 00:38:04.800 a spark for this team for years now. He just changes trajectories of games, 551 00:38:04.880 --> 00:38:07.079 like he can take a game where the Clippers seem down and out and 552 00:38:07.199 --> 00:38:12.800 lifeless out there and give them that spirit. It's something we saw a lot 553 00:38:12.840 --> 00:38:15.519 with Patrick Beverley, and I think he learned that from him. Something he 554 00:38:15.639 --> 00:38:19.159 did a lot for this team, just playing with that edge, playing faster, 555 00:38:19.400 --> 00:38:22.280 pushing the basketball. Terrence Man's critical to this Clippers ball club. All 556 00:38:22.360 --> 00:38:27.880 right, coming back, Charles Mockler from Clips and Dip Pod. You're listening 557 00:38:27.920 --> 00:38:30.960 to the Los Angeles Clippers radio networking an five seventy a sports Fenny got it, 558 00:38:31.199 --> 00:38:36.320 count it from distance, the odds on favorite to hoist a Larry O'Brien 559 00:38:36.440 --> 00:38:38.960 heavily can test it and it doesn't matter. On the home of your LA 560 00:38:39.079 --> 00:38:45.639 Clippers over the Toronto Raptors, they make it two in a row. Here 561 00:38:45.679 --> 00:38:50.480 from Crypto dot Com Arena with their postgame show Clippers Talk. I'm Adam Oslin 562 00:38:50.880 --> 00:38:52.840 coming up back to your phone calls at eight six six ninety seven two five 563 00:38:53.000 --> 00:38:57.880 seventy. But you know the music that means we have Charles Mockler on from 564 00:38:57.920 --> 00:39:01.440 the Clips and Dip pod does it with myself and William Updyke. All right, 565 00:39:01.599 --> 00:39:06.119 Charles, not a ton of time here, but you know, would 566 00:39:06.159 --> 00:39:09.519 you take out the turnovers and watch the rest of the possessions of this ballgame? 567 00:39:09.880 --> 00:39:14.639 And I know that's asking a lot, but this Clippers team looked pretty 568 00:39:14.679 --> 00:39:17.599 good on both ends. They looked much more locked in. It was a 569 00:39:17.679 --> 00:39:22.840 more complete effort overall. Yeah, I think you know, you take out 570 00:39:22.880 --> 00:39:27.840 the turnovers and you still look at the fact that the Clippers had twenty five 571 00:39:28.000 --> 00:39:32.360 fewer field goal attempts then the Rappers, which is pretty incredible. Things look 572 00:39:32.480 --> 00:39:36.360 good on both ends. You're right, and I think that's because we got 573 00:39:36.400 --> 00:39:39.400 a good Tylou game in this one, right Terence Man, Yes, he 574 00:39:39.480 --> 00:39:43.800 had to play the last sixteen minutes, but he finished with more minutes than 575 00:39:43.880 --> 00:39:46.400 Marcus Morris, which a lot of people wanted. Russell Westbrook only took six 576 00:39:46.519 --> 00:39:51.119 shots. He was the best plus minus on the team. Like this was 577 00:39:52.119 --> 00:39:54.639 Tyler made the right decisions in this game. It you know, I'm not 578 00:39:54.880 --> 00:39:59.360 totally sure I'm back on the World one hundred percent Contenders wagon, but this 579 00:39:59.599 --> 00:40:02.280 is as some people would say something may have been born out of this game, 580 00:40:02.519 --> 00:40:08.400 hopefully rotation wise. What kind of crazies would say anything. Okay, 581 00:40:08.519 --> 00:40:12.239 so Vizza Zoo Bots. We've talked about him a lot, just how much 582 00:40:12.320 --> 00:40:15.039 he's been missed, and it feels like it's flown under the radar. I 583 00:40:15.079 --> 00:40:19.800 mean, I've gotten calls here postgame of start Mason plumbly look at the impact 584 00:40:20.079 --> 00:40:23.199 of a Vizza's zoo Bots on both ends. As he's starting to get healthier, 585 00:40:23.239 --> 00:40:25.599 I'm not even sure if he's one hundred percent yet. He said he's 586 00:40:25.639 --> 00:40:30.320 been feeling better coming off the calf injury, but he played twenty seven minutes 587 00:40:30.360 --> 00:40:35.360 tonight was huge. Yeah, I mean, he was only two boards away 588 00:40:35.400 --> 00:40:38.000 from a pretty assertive double double. Seventeen points is a lot for Zoo, 589 00:40:38.440 --> 00:40:43.960 especially with only four free throw attempts. Look, I love Mason Plumley. 590 00:40:44.920 --> 00:40:46.760 He's good at some things that Zoo isn't good at, But one of those 591 00:40:46.800 --> 00:40:52.159 things is not defense. Zoo being back, this team is completely different on 592 00:40:52.199 --> 00:40:57.639 the defensive end of the floor. To start games, he's been fantastic And 593 00:40:57.840 --> 00:41:00.320 you know, you said it's kind of flown under the radar, but that's 594 00:41:00.320 --> 00:41:04.119 what Zoo does. He's the quiet giant, but you know, he was 595 00:41:04.199 --> 00:41:07.320 incredibly efficient tonight. He looks happy to be out there, which is gonna 596 00:41:07.320 --> 00:41:13.079 be huge for the Clippers heading into this incredibly crucial stretch. Hey, and 597 00:41:13.199 --> 00:41:15.960 mid range zoo is a bucket. He had that free for a lunch chopper. 598 00:41:17.840 --> 00:41:22.000 Uh, speaking of a bucket. Kawhi Leonard a master of the mid 599 00:41:22.199 --> 00:41:25.440 range, but he also can throw it down when he needs to and had 600 00:41:25.519 --> 00:41:30.840 five dunks in this one. This is maybe his most most athletic performance coming 601 00:41:30.920 --> 00:41:36.880 off the ACL he just looked like he had so much bounce. Yeah, 602 00:41:36.960 --> 00:41:40.119 I mean it, he destroyed you know, Parnel at the rim, which 603 00:41:40.159 --> 00:41:44.920 we all love to see. But this is I mean, Kawhi is in 604 00:41:45.039 --> 00:41:50.960 inevitability stage. He's inevitable now for games the Clippers, in between games coming 605 00:41:51.039 --> 00:41:53.519 up. It's the perfect chancelly at all the Vets kind of warmed up, 606 00:41:54.239 --> 00:41:58.760 you know for the playoff push. But if they want some of the you 607 00:41:58.840 --> 00:42:04.440 know, follow my example to it's Kawhi Leonard because he the strategy sometimes seems 608 00:42:04.480 --> 00:42:07.519 to be Kawhi, please do all that you can, and thankfully right now 609 00:42:07.719 --> 00:42:10.320 he is doing all of it more. You know, I heard Paul George 610 00:42:10.360 --> 00:42:16.000 after the last game talk about how he's feeling healthier and he can push off 611 00:42:16.079 --> 00:42:22.039 of you know, both feet again and explode. And I didn't realize you 612 00:42:22.119 --> 00:42:25.280 know, how much or what he was dealing with throughout the season. I 613 00:42:25.360 --> 00:42:28.840 know there was the hamstring, I know there was a sore right knee, 614 00:42:29.440 --> 00:42:32.599 but he said basically as the healthiest he had felt all season coming out of 615 00:42:32.639 --> 00:42:37.840 the Memphis game, and tonight it showed the movement from him, the way 616 00:42:37.920 --> 00:42:43.960 he was slithering through defenders and getting to the basket for tough layups. He 617 00:42:44.159 --> 00:42:49.199 looked as athletic as ever. Yeah, I'm not sure those injuries were either. 618 00:42:49.800 --> 00:42:52.679 I think a lot of the times with Paul George, I think several 619 00:42:52.679 --> 00:42:54.360 of these things are maybe in his hand. He's just not feeling quite right 620 00:42:54.440 --> 00:43:00.320 for whatever reason. But he's feeling right right now. It's I mean, 621 00:43:00.679 --> 00:43:02.960 you know, I we didn't see a complete, you know, dominant game 622 00:43:04.079 --> 00:43:06.480 from this team, which is led by you know, two, one, 623 00:43:06.639 --> 00:43:09.400 three, But we're getting there. If in the next fourteen games, if 624 00:43:09.440 --> 00:43:14.559 we can see you know, eight to ten wire to wire, good process 625 00:43:14.679 --> 00:43:19.880 games with PG you know, slithering like you said, Kawhi doing Kawhi things, 626 00:43:20.000 --> 00:43:22.079 zoos, stepping it up time, making the right rotation. There will 627 00:43:22.119 --> 00:43:25.719 be very legitimate reasons to believe in this team making the goings in the playoffs. 628 00:43:27.400 --> 00:43:30.039 Terrence Man, you mentioned it. He played the last sixteen seventeen minutes 629 00:43:30.280 --> 00:43:34.800 of the ball game, and I thought it was interesting seeing because he and 630 00:43:34.920 --> 00:43:37.840 Russell Westbrook played off each other very well in the first half when they got 631 00:43:37.880 --> 00:43:43.320 back into it down ten and had it tied at forty nine and a half. 632 00:43:43.800 --> 00:43:46.559 But then they were staggered obviously Westbrook with the starters. Terrence Man comes 633 00:43:46.639 --> 00:43:51.440 in about five minute mark of the third quarter, plays the rest of the 634 00:43:51.480 --> 00:43:57.920 ball game, and it was like he kept the same pace up without Russell 635 00:43:58.000 --> 00:44:01.159 Westbrook on the floor. Ter Man kind of carried that over because that's the 636 00:44:01.239 --> 00:44:05.639 type of player he is, and the Clippers found a rhythm. There was 637 00:44:05.719 --> 00:44:09.920 some real continuity out there, which is tempo. Yeah, I mean, 638 00:44:10.000 --> 00:44:14.679 I'm sure it was a bit of a I let's say shock, but maybe 639 00:44:14.880 --> 00:44:17.880 something hard to adjust to if you're Terrence from starting and the team is playing 640 00:44:17.920 --> 00:44:22.000 really well and then getting Russell Westbrook and you know, not really even competing 641 00:44:22.119 --> 00:44:25.280 for that job anymore, and just kind of having it given to Russell Westbrook, 642 00:44:25.320 --> 00:44:29.440 who has been, you know, okay to solve for the Clippers. 643 00:44:29.519 --> 00:44:34.760 But it feels like Terrence has kind of bought into yet another system that he's 644 00:44:34.800 --> 00:44:37.440 going to be a pretty important cog in, and that's really important for the 645 00:44:37.480 --> 00:44:42.039 Clippers right now. I have all of the lays in the world that Terrence 646 00:44:42.079 --> 00:44:44.599 Man is going to make a huge difference in the playoffs, and I bet 647 00:44:44.679 --> 00:44:47.280 his minutes per game grows every real the big playoffs if the Clippers get passed. 648 00:44:47.800 --> 00:44:52.719 I know Eric Gordon struggle a little bit with some kill shot type three 649 00:44:52.800 --> 00:44:54.719 porters that he would have liked to hit at the end, and he was 650 00:44:54.800 --> 00:45:00.159 just three of seven out there. But I kind of liked that lineup with 651 00:45:00.400 --> 00:45:04.639 him and Terrence Man the backcourt with the rest of the starters. I just 652 00:45:04.719 --> 00:45:07.079 feel like there's a lot of stability there with a couple of other ball handlers 653 00:45:07.119 --> 00:45:12.360 and a couple of guys that can do a multitude of things out there on 654 00:45:12.400 --> 00:45:15.000 the court. How did you feel about it, because obviously Coach lew was 655 00:45:15.079 --> 00:45:19.800 riding it late. I mean, if it's working and Coach New's going with 656 00:45:19.960 --> 00:45:22.559 it late, I really have no other option. To be all for it, 657 00:45:22.719 --> 00:45:27.360 you know what I mean. He's talked about how even in the starting 658 00:45:27.400 --> 00:45:30.880 lineup, you know, there's kind of four legitate, there's four solidified spots, 659 00:45:30.920 --> 00:45:34.719 which is everyone but the point guard. With the closing lineup, we 660 00:45:34.800 --> 00:45:37.599 don't really know for what three of those spots are going to be other than 661 00:45:37.679 --> 00:45:40.920 Kwai and Paul George. So if it's working, I'm on board with it 662 00:45:40.960 --> 00:45:44.280 at this point. There's not a lot of time to be picky right now. 663 00:45:44.920 --> 00:45:49.360 Clippers win one O eight to one hundred over the Toronto Raptors. They 664 00:45:49.440 --> 00:45:52.440 make it two in a row. They'll see the New York Knicks right back 665 00:45:52.480 --> 00:45:57.960 here on Saturday. He is Charles Mockler from Clips and Dip. I believe 666 00:45:58.039 --> 00:46:01.480 we got a double dip coming on Friday with myself. This was a double 667 00:46:01.519 --> 00:46:06.000 dip. I believe we have a tripod coming on Friday with myself and William 668 00:46:06.079 --> 00:46:10.039 Updyke at Charles Mockler. Please check it out, subscribe and save Chuck. 669 00:46:10.119 --> 00:46:13.599 Thanks for coming on and doing the double dip on Clippers stock tonight, my 670 00:46:13.639 --> 00:46:19.000 friend. Anytime, let's go. Clips coming up next, final phone calls 671 00:46:19.079 --> 00:46:23.280 and we'll close things out. In preview Saturday afternoon and that contest that Clippers 672 00:46:23.320 --> 00:46:28.760 hopefully come out strong and as they have struggled in those situations. But they 673 00:46:28.800 --> 00:46:32.440 got two days off once again, so guys got plenty of opportunity to rest 674 00:46:32.599 --> 00:46:37.000 up and ramp back up for this one and just show off that pop and 675 00:46:37.119 --> 00:46:42.000 juice and turbo that we've seen the last couple of games. The movement's been 676 00:46:42.119 --> 00:46:45.840 different from this team. There's still a ton to work on, of course, 677 00:46:45.239 --> 00:46:50.159 with fourteen games left, just got to keep that same sense of urgency 678 00:46:50.760 --> 00:46:53.400 for Clippers stock next year. MP five seventy LA Sports George and Lennard running. 679 00:46:53.440 --> 00:47:00.360 You're listening to LA Clippers basketball clip puts it down plus the foul every 680 00:47:00.440 --> 00:47:07.280 game all season long. On their official holds the Raptors, they're just thirty 681 00:47:07.400 --> 00:47:14.119 eight percent shooting from the field after giving up fifty percent shooting in seven of 682 00:47:14.199 --> 00:47:17.719 their last ten games. Clippers win one O eight to one hundred. You 683 00:47:17.840 --> 00:47:22.800 hold a team to one hundred in today's NBA. This is the way. 684 00:47:22.119 --> 00:47:27.039 This is good. The Clippers have the guys to play defense. We saw 685 00:47:27.119 --> 00:47:30.639 it out there tonight. They just maybe played harder. Whatever PG thirteen says, 686 00:47:31.199 --> 00:47:36.400 I'm going with it after the Memphis game right now, eight six ninety 687 00:47:36.480 --> 00:47:39.599 seven, two five seventy quickly, two phone calls and we'll close things out 688 00:47:39.679 --> 00:47:46.639 here. Jeremy in La Jeremy are on Clippers stock Withoutam Moslin? What's up 689 00:47:46.719 --> 00:47:52.119 Adam Clipper Gang? Y'all here, man clip gang? Or do you know 690 00:47:52.239 --> 00:47:57.440 what it is? A couple of things. Love the rotation to night by 691 00:47:57.519 --> 00:48:01.719 tie. We need Terris man Lay thirty minutes every single night. He just 692 00:48:02.000 --> 00:48:07.920 is an impact player. He can stand to be better defensively as well, 693 00:48:07.159 --> 00:48:10.920 to be quite honest with you, just as the rest of us could. 694 00:48:12.679 --> 00:48:16.840 But I love the defensive game from us tonight. First day round of applause 695 00:48:16.920 --> 00:48:20.840 for an actual good defensive game from us. Happen to the All Star break. 696 00:48:20.880 --> 00:48:28.199 About that last point a Clipper fans, it's about playoff time, man, 697 00:48:28.719 --> 00:48:32.239 Let's go get in there, make some freaking noise. It's it's time. 698 00:48:32.880 --> 00:48:37.159 We can't be sitting back just chilling waiting for something to happen. We 699 00:48:37.320 --> 00:48:39.159 have to make it happen too with them, all right. I was at 700 00:48:39.239 --> 00:48:44.039 the game tonight. It was it was good. Feel sleepy man, it's 701 00:48:44.039 --> 00:48:49.079 smart. Let's go. We need more, all right, Jeremy rallying cry 702 00:48:49.159 --> 00:48:52.480 a Clipper nation out there. Like I thought, the second half was much 703 00:48:52.599 --> 00:48:57.000 better. I thought the second half of the fourth quarter, specifically on Sunday, 704 00:48:57.280 --> 00:49:00.800 was fantastic. I thought that the crowd helped fuel that Clippers comeback. 705 00:49:00.800 --> 00:49:05.880 I don't think they do it without them and Terrence Man he had a couple 706 00:49:05.920 --> 00:49:08.440 of great defensive plays on Siakam and it just didn't matter in the first half. 707 00:49:08.880 --> 00:49:14.840 Siakam though, finish with twenty points on nine or twenty one shooting, 708 00:49:14.880 --> 00:49:17.280 So I not the most efficient night, Damian in La Damian, you're on 709 00:49:17.320 --> 00:49:24.119 Clippers stock with Atmslin triple a man quality win finally putting it together. Excuse 710 00:49:24.199 --> 00:49:29.400 me, Man, I can't say enough about the team. But you know, 711 00:49:29.519 --> 00:49:31.800 looking forward, I think the things that we need to do to be 712 00:49:32.039 --> 00:49:36.480 better are very simple, man. You know, we just need to, 713 00:49:37.000 --> 00:49:39.800 you know, kind of lock in on the fundamentals. When I think about 714 00:49:39.920 --> 00:49:44.519 greatness, you know, people's Patriots. The Patriots didn't have a whole bunch 715 00:49:44.559 --> 00:49:46.840 of great you know, top tier athletes. They had guys who knew their 716 00:49:46.880 --> 00:49:51.719 positions, and they were very disciplined and they didn't make any mistakes. That's 717 00:49:51.800 --> 00:49:54.119 what made them so frustrating. We need to frustrate teams the same way, 718 00:49:54.159 --> 00:49:59.400 and we can do that. People out there questioning or basketball IQ obviously know 719 00:49:59.519 --> 00:50:02.480 nothing about the game. These guys have a lot going on. Like you 720 00:50:02.599 --> 00:50:06.920 said before, you want these guys to be superheroes, but they're not. 721 00:50:07.039 --> 00:50:09.480 They're human beings. They're starting to get it together. You're starting to see 722 00:50:09.519 --> 00:50:14.079 it click. You look at the body language, the look in their faces. 723 00:50:14.320 --> 00:50:19.360 Everything is different. Everything is striking more confidence, and that gives me 724 00:50:19.480 --> 00:50:21.800 more confidence in the team that they're going to figure it out. But the 725 00:50:21.920 --> 00:50:24.079 things that they need to do immediately while they're getting to where they want to 726 00:50:24.119 --> 00:50:29.440 be very simple in nature. I feel all right, David. I appreciate 727 00:50:29.559 --> 00:50:31.159 the phone call. Look after that first quarter, they were much better. 728 00:50:31.239 --> 00:50:36.199 Those seven turnovers, some of them in the first quarter were absolutely careless turnovers 729 00:50:36.280 --> 00:50:40.559 that just can't happen where guys couldn't make simple passes. And I understand the 730 00:50:40.679 --> 00:50:46.159 ball pressure that a team like the Toronto Raptors play with, Like they're different 731 00:50:46.159 --> 00:50:51.320 in that way. They get up underneath you a little bit, they crowd 732 00:50:51.400 --> 00:50:53.480 you and that can lead to turnovers. And it's a bit of a culture 733 00:50:53.519 --> 00:50:57.840 shock earlier in the game, and maybe that's just what happened, but after 734 00:50:57.960 --> 00:51:02.639 that they were much better. Before we get out of here, it's casual 735 00:51:02.840 --> 00:51:08.760 Katie's corner, Katie, what's up? Producer, Katie Newton? Here are 736 00:51:08.840 --> 00:51:13.239 some basketball questions? All right, it's a real, real quick one for 737 00:51:13.360 --> 00:51:17.800 you, Adam, Why vanilla protein tonight? Come on? It's not basketball 738 00:51:17.880 --> 00:51:22.000 related because they were out of the chocolate one on Amazon. Who shifts it 739 00:51:22.079 --> 00:51:25.159 to me weekly? That is the reason why. But it still had forty 740 00:51:25.239 --> 00:51:30.440 two grams of protein and the Clippers got the win anyways, and Noah Eagle 741 00:51:30.480 --> 00:51:32.199 had the great call of me shaking it up and having a hard time doing 742 00:51:32.280 --> 00:51:37.920 so. Don't you always sometimes you have to add water because I just left 743 00:51:37.960 --> 00:51:40.280 it in the freezer for too long. I'll want it cold turn into a 744 00:51:40.320 --> 00:51:45.920 slushy. Basically, Clippers win tonight. Thank you, Katie Newton. It's 745 00:51:45.960 --> 00:51:49.159 a great segment. Just need some music, a little more production, and 746 00:51:49.239 --> 00:51:52.280 better questions. That's all I'm asking. Clippers win one O eight to one 747 00:51:52.360 --> 00:51:55.960 hundred. Kidding over the Toronto Raptors here at Crypto dot com.
