00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:06.000
Time for a postgame. Look,
it's your LA Clippers. This is Clippers

2
00:00:06.120 --> 00:00:09.759
Locker Road, brought to you by
Cedars Sinai, the official health partner of

3
00:00:09.800 --> 00:00:14.880
the LA Clippers, and by Patchonga, official travel casino of the LA Clippers.

4
00:00:15.160 --> 00:00:19.079
Breaking down today's action with the pre
and post game voice. If you're

5
00:00:19.280 --> 00:00:24.519
LA Clippers, They're locking in every
game every night. Adam osled the Clippers

6
00:00:24.559 --> 00:00:28.280
come up, clutch and Clutch City. They were down by twenty in the

7
00:00:28.359 --> 00:00:33.560
first half. They win in Houston
one twenty two to one sixteen. Welcome

8
00:00:33.560 --> 00:00:36.880
into your postgame show. I'm Adam
Osland. If you want to get on

9
00:00:36.920 --> 00:00:40.920
early, we'll have clipperstock for you
on a five seventy LA Sports eight sixty

10
00:00:40.920 --> 00:00:44.520
six nine eight seven two five seventy. But first back to Toyota Center with

11
00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:48.960
your radio voice of the Clippers.
Well, Kawhi Leonard with ten points in

12
00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:53.479
the fourth quarter, James Harden with
eleven, and Big plumb really turned the

13
00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:57.359
tide. Get you injected into the
starting lineup to start off the third quarter.

14
00:00:57.439 --> 00:01:00.119
What a difference Mason Plumley was able
to make off the bench hadn't played

15
00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:04.680
the last couple of games. Spectacular
performance from Big Plump Carlo all the credit

16
00:01:04.760 --> 00:01:08.159
to Big plum to stay locked in, to stay ready, and these are

17
00:01:08.200 --> 00:01:12.519
the kind of games that championship built
teams have when things aren't going your way,

18
00:01:12.760 --> 00:01:17.200
when maybe you know you're not getting
the looks you want or the defensive

19
00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:19.640
rebounding you need, and you're able
to pull a guy off the bench who's

20
00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:23.959
missed the last two games plus the
entire first half, and has not missed

21
00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:29.519
a beat. He gets two points
away from a double double, three blocks

22
00:01:29.560 --> 00:01:32.879
in this one. He was like
an umbrella over the top of Alphared shan

23
00:01:32.959 --> 00:01:37.680
gun shielding his view to the basket
and of some huge, huge buckets down

24
00:01:37.799 --> 00:01:41.000
the stretch. What a performance by
Mason plum Lee. What a way to

25
00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:44.480
stay ready. We really shouldn't be
surprised Plumbley came back from injury and if

26
00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:48.760
you'll remember, Tyleru told the media
that Big plum told Tyleru, Hey,

27
00:01:48.879 --> 00:01:51.599
things are going so well for us
right now, I don't need to play.

28
00:01:51.640 --> 00:01:53.719
If you don't want to put me
in the rotation, that's okay,

29
00:01:53.799 --> 00:01:56.439
just because I'm available. I don't
want to mess things up. He is

30
00:01:56.680 --> 00:02:00.879
all about team, all about sacrifice, and that's what coach Lou Oways talks

31
00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:04.719
about is the reason this team's so
successful. He sacrificed, he was ready

32
00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:06.719
when his name was called, and
at the end of the day, he

33
00:02:06.760 --> 00:02:09.680
flipped the script here at Houston love
seeing Coach slu put him into the starting

34
00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:14.520
lineup to start that third quarter and
then playing a little chess match with e

35
00:02:14.639 --> 00:02:19.439
May injecting Terror's man into the ballgame
a few different times for Mason Plumby for

36
00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:22.560
some switchability, and they were trying
to hack a plumb out. There.

37
00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:25.919
Just a brilliant game down the stretch
from a Clippers team that outscored the Houston

38
00:02:27.039 --> 00:02:31.199
Rockets forty two to thirty in the
fourth quarter, outscored then by nineteen in

39
00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:36.479
the second half. Kawhi Leonard showed
up big with some tough shots late.

40
00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:39.960
But I thought James Harden running the
show and being a system late is what

41
00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:45.280
pulled this Clippers team through offensively.
I mean his ability to find shooters in

42
00:02:45.319 --> 00:02:47.479
the corner, to find Plumbley on
the pick and roll, to swing the

43
00:02:47.560 --> 00:02:51.560
basketball. One point, he tried
a layup that I thought was a layup

44
00:02:51.560 --> 00:02:53.439
and turned into a no look pass
to Leonard in the right corner. The

45
00:02:53.439 --> 00:03:00.280
Clippers three point shooting when the bell
was wrung. It came up big late

46
00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:04.159
in this one, Adam. They
were three for thirteen at one point.

47
00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:08.479
They finished the game nine of their
next sixteen to close this one. Big

48
00:03:08.599 --> 00:03:13.520
time stuff from the Clippers to get
it done down the stretch. I thought

49
00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:16.439
the clutch shooting was excellent. I
thought their defense was really good. Houston

50
00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:21.599
had won turnover in the first almost
twenty minutes of this game. The Clippers

51
00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:24.759
turn them over seven more times throughout
the night. Just a big time,

52
00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:28.680
gutsy win for the Clippers, and
you talked about it. There was a

53
00:03:28.680 --> 00:03:31.240
little bit of concern after you lose
the way you did against the Lakers and

54
00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:35.680
Milwaukee, that hey, does this
become a mental barrier for this team?

55
00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:38.439
And I think that's why this win. Yes, it's important to get a

56
00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:42.080
win, Yes it's important to beat
Houston, but to do it this way,

57
00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:45.800
to get it done in this manner, I think means so much more

58
00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:49.240
for this Clipper team, just confidence
wise, down the stretch. And that's

59
00:03:49.240 --> 00:03:52.319
how you close out a road trip. As they head back home for a

60
00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:55.560
back to back on Saturday and Sunday, we talked about Paul George struggling early,

61
00:03:55.599 --> 00:04:00.000
he was one of six. He
would go six for his next nine,

62
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:02.199
big three pointer or late. But
how about the board from PG thirteen

63
00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:05.360
doing the little things as well,
that offensive rebound. I thought it really

64
00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:09.520
started at him with his defense to
begin the third quarter. Really the end

65
00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:12.280
of that second quarter, he had
a couple of steals, he had a

66
00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:15.040
block. He was engaged on that
end, and that led to the offense

67
00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:19.360
on the other end. When Paul
George takes his matchup personally, you can

68
00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:21.959
see it. He is in his
defender. There's a reason he's a four

69
00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:28.319
time All Defensive Defense selection and a
reason he's top five in the NBA in

70
00:04:28.439 --> 00:04:30.800
steels per game, the first time
he's top five at NBA and steels in

71
00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:34.800
the NBA and steals per game since
he was an All Defensive selection back in

72
00:04:34.839 --> 00:04:40.040
seventeen eighteen with Houston. He is
playing at another level on that end of

73
00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:43.759
the floor. He was so good
for the Clippers down the stretch, and

74
00:04:43.800 --> 00:04:47.120
I thought his ability to remain confident
to knock down a team high four threes

75
00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:49.920
was huge up and down the board. I got Terrence Man, how about

76
00:04:49.920 --> 00:04:54.720
a sneaky good performance from him five
for five for the fields, three threes

77
00:04:54.879 --> 00:04:59.879
with a couple of rebounds, and
fifteen points on a perfect shot shooting percentage.

78
00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:02.439
He was great for the Clippers,
an all around team performance. Everybody

79
00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:05.839
who got in there scored, Everybody
contributed, and the Clippers can take that

80
00:05:05.879 --> 00:05:10.160
long four hour flight home with smiles
on our faces. And after what happened

81
00:05:10.199 --> 00:05:14.839
on Monday night missing those free throws
late, the Clippers came up clutch at

82
00:05:14.839 --> 00:05:17.439
the charity stripe. They knocked them
down. They put the Houston Rockets away.

83
00:05:17.519 --> 00:05:20.560
They go on to win once twenty
two to one sixteen when they were

84
00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:26.720
down by twenty in the first half. Clippers return to Crypto dot com arena,

85
00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:30.079
as we mentioned, a back to
back, a home back to back.

86
00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:33.920
Both matinee starts starting on Saturday at
one pm. They're tipping off against

87
00:05:33.959 --> 00:05:39.279

to thirty in the first half in
Houston and they end up winning by six

95

or get to me, I follow
Adam a on X Let's get your second

105
00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:03.879
half highlights. As mentioned, the
Clippers were down by twenty. It was

106
00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:09.279
fifty to thirty with about six minutes
left in that second quarter. The Clippers

107
00:07:09.319 --> 00:07:12.279
would go on to twelve to two
run. They were down fifty seven to

108
00:07:12.279 --> 00:07:15.079
forty four at the half. PG
thirteen was one for six to start this

109
00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:19.000
ball game, but then he started
to cook in the third quarter. George

110
00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:23.800
and the right wing shake Smith dances
down the right alley behind the back freaker

111
00:07:23.879 --> 00:07:29.800
line, fading, firing, burying
Paul George. A little shaken bake play,

112
00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:34.759
don't you know by Eric Upbado that
was spooth. Seventy one sixty three

113
00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:39.279
Rockets. Leonard kamlawright channel skips at
George, ran corner, catching you three.

114
00:07:39.439 --> 00:07:43.920
Jack popped George from downtown. He
had two points in the first half.

115
00:07:44.040 --> 00:07:48.560
He's got ten in the third quarter. Seventy four sixty six Houston.

116
00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:54.959
Paul George stepping up in that third
quarter, turning the game arounds, turning

117
00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:59.079
the tide in this one, as
did Mason Plumley. He got the start

118
00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:03.600
in the third Corps don't know if
it was conditioning over the concern of aviatsa

119
00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:07.920
zubats just not looking right quite yet, coming back from the flu, coming

120
00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:11.000
back from illness, coming back from
a right calf injury. Whatever it was,

121
00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:15.439
Mason Plumley was able to hashtag stay
ready because he hadn't played the last

122
00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:18.279
couple of games. He comes in
in the third quarter, gets the start

123
00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:22.439
for the second half, has four
points and six boards, two offensive rebounds,

124
00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:26.800
and the Clippers had it to within
six heading into that fourth quarter.

125
00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:31.480
But that's when you gotta let your
superstar take over. Of course, it

126
00:08:31.560 --> 00:08:35.159
was the claw Kawhi Leonard one on
one with Van Fleet, nobody in the

127
00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:41.240
area. Pardon Nolah caaf Leonard right
wing, three CUNNINGGX Kawhi from the right

128
00:08:41.320 --> 00:08:46.279
corner, two point game time out, Houston six fourteen to go, Flippers

129
00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:48.679
ranked the left. They can make
it a one possession game with a bucket

130
00:08:48.679 --> 00:08:52.399
and Leonard is taxta physical Woodmore pulls
up on the baseline, swirls and Kawhi.

131
00:08:52.519 --> 00:08:56.840
Leonard gets to his spot and it's
good luck defense after that one of

132
00:08:56.879 --> 00:09:00.799
those six to one oh three Clippers
win in three on five to play,

133
00:09:00.879 --> 00:09:03.399
it's clutched on Leonard. Stufers in
the front court of three can give them

134
00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:07.759
the lead. Kawhi right over will
steps back from the in range. We're

135
00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:13.039
tied as he sticks in from wander
weight. All the Clippers have erased the

136
00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:16.200
twenty point Houston lead. Leonard all
the right wing, they're not fouling them.

137
00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:20.240
Kawhi crossing over the whole bench for
Houston, trying to tell him the

138
00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:24.879
bout Leonard and one from the Freako
line and a chance for three point play.

139
00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:31.080
Clippers largest lead of the night comes
with two oh six to go big

140
00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:35.480
time buckets from the claw. He
would convert the n one after Email challenged

141
00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:37.360
it. He had ten of his
twenty eight points in the fourth quarter.

142
00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:43.000
James Harden had eleven of his twenty
one points in the fourth quarter plus four

143
00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:48.039
assists. The Clippers come back down
twenty and win one twenty two to one

144
00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:50.480
sixteen in Houston over the Rockets.

Welcome back into your postgame show. I'm

176
00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:39.639
Adam Oslin. After a miserable first
fifteen minutes offensively from this Clippers team,

177
00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:45.720
they scored ninety two points in about
the last thirty minutes of this ballgame.

178
00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:50.879
Clippers ended up shooting fifty five percent
from the field. Go twelve of twenty

179
00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:56.360
nine from three. The law of
averages came back around finally for them.

180
00:12:56.759 --> 00:13:01.039
Houston ended up at forty eight percent
from before forty from the outside Clippers with

181
00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:07.759
just nine turnovers. Houston had just
eight themselves. But the Clippers got timely

182
00:13:07.799 --> 00:13:13.440
stops in timely buckets and a timely
performance off the bench from Mason Plumley hadn't

183
00:13:13.480 --> 00:13:16.559
played the last two games, looked
to be out of the rotation. Daniel

184
00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:20.039
Tye was soaking up his minutes off
the bench, and Mason Plummy got the

185
00:13:20.039 --> 00:13:22.600
start in the third quarter. What
a move from coach Lou of Eacha Zubats

186
00:13:22.679 --> 00:13:28.000
was struggling, Big plumb helped turn
this ballgame around. Paul George Shard to

187
00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:31.039
get it going, had ten of
his twenty one and the third. Then

188
00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:35.320
Kawhi Leonard took over along with James
Harden in the fourth plus a big PG

189
00:13:35.480 --> 00:13:39.279
thirteen to three point or late along
with a huge offensive rebound normn Pal the

190
00:13:39.360 --> 00:13:41.399
King of the fourth. You know, he came up clutch and the Clippers

191
00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:46.159
win one twenty two to one sixteen
in a game where they were down by

192
00:13:46.360 --> 00:13:50.759
twenty. They got two days off. They'll be back at Crypto for a

193
00:13:50.919 --> 00:13:56.080
Saturday Sunday Mattinee back to back,
starting with the Chicago Bulls on Saturday.

me right now, your host on
your home For the Clippers, they were

201
00:14:30.600 --> 00:14:35.120
in attack mode. Adam Osley Houston, we'd have a problem. Yeah,

202
00:14:35.240 --> 00:14:39.120
Kawhi Leonard problem in that fourth quarter
he had ten of his twenty eight.

203
00:14:39.200 --> 00:14:43.080
The Clippers come all the way back
down by twenty. It was fifty to

204
00:14:43.120 --> 00:14:46.799
thirty, Houston up in the first
half, and the Clippers go on to

205
00:14:46.879 --> 00:14:52.960
win one forty two to one sixteen. Hashtag come back Clips, Houston,

206
00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:56.159
We'd have a problem. Welcome into
Clippers Doc. I'm at a Oslin eight

207
00:14:56.279 --> 00:15:00.919
six six nine eight seven two five
seventy eight six, six nine eight seven

208
00:15:00.960 --> 00:15:05.080
two five seventy is the phone number. Now, that's how you respond after

209
00:15:05.200 --> 00:15:09.080
letting one go for the second time
in a week against the Milwaukee Bucks,

210
00:15:09.080 --> 00:15:13.200
where the Clippers had a fifteen point
lead. It happens in this league,

211
00:15:13.799 --> 00:15:18.120
but it hasn't happened to more teams
than the Clippers when it comes to twenty

212
00:15:18.159 --> 00:15:22.039
point comebacks. Going back to the
twenty eighteen twenty nineteen season, they now

213
00:15:22.080 --> 00:15:31.799
have come back down twenty or more
thirteen times, Paul thirteen thirteen times over

214
00:15:31.720 --> 00:15:37.759
a six season span. Now we're
in season six here, season five of

215
00:15:37.799 --> 00:15:41.120
the two to one three era.
Coming up on the show, you're gonna

216
00:15:41.159 --> 00:15:46.919
hear from coach Lou post game,
hopefully Big Plumb as well, who helped

217
00:15:46.919 --> 00:15:50.919
turn this game around. We'll also
have I think Chuck Mockler. No,

218
00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:58.440
it's Will Updike coming on tonight.
The Clippers looked once again sluggish and stuck

219
00:15:58.639 --> 00:16:03.600
in mud and quick, sane and
in the first half. Really throughout the

220
00:16:03.639 --> 00:16:08.600
first I want to say, seventeen
minutes of the ballgame, they only scored

221
00:16:08.639 --> 00:16:14.240
nineteen points in the first quarter.
I called it the one pass offense.

222
00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:18.840
That's how many passes they were making
per possession in the half court. It

223
00:16:18.960 --> 00:16:25.960
was a struggle, a lot of
isolation basketball. I believe they had two

224
00:16:26.039 --> 00:16:30.960
assists total in the first quarter.
Hell that might have been in the first

225
00:16:30.960 --> 00:16:33.080
half. I better check on this
one more time. They had five assists

226
00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:38.440
of the break. Most of those
came after they found something near the end

227
00:16:38.679 --> 00:16:41.960
of the first half, where after
being down by twenty at fifty to thirty,

228
00:16:42.320 --> 00:16:45.000
they started to unlock their offense a
little bit, started to play with

229
00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:48.519
more pace out there, went on
a twelve to two run, cut it

230
00:16:48.559 --> 00:16:52.759
to fifty seven forty four at the
break. But the Clippers at that point

231
00:16:52.840 --> 00:16:59.320
they're four of sixteen from the outside. They had been shooting thirty five percent

232
00:16:59.360 --> 00:17:03.480
from three last eleven games coming into
this one post Grammy road trip. Meanwhile,

233
00:17:03.480 --> 00:17:07.319
the Houston Rockets, they're the second
worst three point shooting team on the

234
00:17:07.359 --> 00:17:11.279
season, and they were at forty
three percent from the field. In the

235
00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:17.599
first half, they were nine of
twenty one. We thought the lav averages

236
00:17:17.599 --> 00:17:21.440
would finally come into effect. It
did for the Clippers. They progressed to

237
00:17:21.480 --> 00:17:27.440
the mean. After starting four of
sixteen from the outside, they would end

238
00:17:27.519 --> 00:17:37.759
up going twelve of twenty nine so
they ended up what is the eight for

239
00:17:37.880 --> 00:17:41.920
their next thirteen from three? Real
quick math there. Hope I got that

240
00:17:42.039 --> 00:17:47.559
right. But in a game where
they need to show that, okay,

241
00:17:48.359 --> 00:17:51.000
they can get it done in clutch
time, which they have for the most

242
00:17:51.039 --> 00:17:53.839
part, it was just a very
bad week. They have the second best

243
00:17:53.960 --> 00:17:59.759
rating net rating in clutch time since
December first in the league. They're now

244
00:18:00.160 --> 00:18:03.880
sixteen and five in games that come
down to the last five minutes within five

245
00:18:03.920 --> 00:18:10.200
points. That's clutched time since December
first. They needed this one, though

246
00:18:10.200 --> 00:18:15.799
in a bad way, after falling
apart after their offense stalling out in the

247
00:18:15.880 --> 00:18:19.359
fourth, having just twenty five points
and really it was nineteen two inns in

248
00:18:19.440 --> 00:18:23.920
con inconsequential threes by Paul George at
the end of that game Monday night against

249
00:18:23.960 --> 00:18:32.079
Milwaukee when it was already over really
didn't mean anything to this team. As

250
00:18:32.119 --> 00:18:34.839
the Milwaukee Bucks went on a fifteen
to zero run at one point, they

251
00:18:34.839 --> 00:18:38.359
scored forty one points on the Clippers
in the fourth. Tonight, the Clippers

252
00:18:38.359 --> 00:18:42.200
put up forty two in the fourth
quarter against Houston. You can say it's

253
00:18:42.240 --> 00:18:48.680
Houston. Guess what. The Rockets
have the seventh best defense this season.

254
00:18:48.119 --> 00:18:52.000
That's their identity stopping teams, and
they could not stop the Clippers in the

255
00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:56.480
fourth quarter. Who got to the
free throw line and outside of Mason Plumley,

256
00:18:56.480 --> 00:19:02.400
who was fantastic, made them down
the stretch, closed Houston out with

257
00:19:02.519 --> 00:19:10.200
free throws down six entering the fourth
quarter. The Clippers were just clutched performances

258
00:19:10.279 --> 00:19:14.960
across the board to get this dot. Kawhi Leonard with his ten points on

259
00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:21.400
the fourth tough shots over Jabari Smith, over Canwidier, Paul George, a

260
00:19:21.440 --> 00:19:26.599
big three late, a huge offensive
rebound as well, but James Hardens slicing

261
00:19:26.759 --> 00:19:30.200
and dyson up the defense after he
and Dylan Brooks got into it looked like

262
00:19:30.200 --> 00:19:33.920
it might have been an offensive allan
Dylan Brooks, James Harden went flying to

263
00:19:34.000 --> 00:19:37.599
the floor. Brooks gave him a
little stare, A little bit of chirping

264
00:19:37.720 --> 00:19:41.880
was going on. James Harden came
right back, I believe, with a

265
00:19:41.960 --> 00:19:45.400
layup after that, but the kickout
pass he had to Kawhi Leonard for three

266
00:19:45.440 --> 00:19:52.359
in the fourth, he collapsed the
defense completely. They were surrounding him.

267
00:19:52.400 --> 00:19:55.119
It was at the six to sixteen
mark. It brought the Clippers to within

268
00:19:55.279 --> 00:20:00.000
two. Huge play. He had
his hands all over the fourth court.

269
00:20:00.160 --> 00:20:04.480
He had a dime to Norman foul
right after that. What about some of

270
00:20:04.480 --> 00:20:08.400
the dimes from Kawhi Leonard also in
this ball game. I believe the two

271
00:20:08.480 --> 00:20:11.960
biggest came at the end of the
third. He had a no look past

272
00:20:11.960 --> 00:20:15.720
a man for a dunk, a
pass to Tyson transition running the floor,

273
00:20:15.799 --> 00:20:19.920
running down the middle of the floor. It was a beautifully executed fast break.

274
00:20:22.640 --> 00:20:26.240
Kawhi would miss a jumper to end
the third, get it back,

275
00:20:26.359 --> 00:20:29.319
put it in. That was a
big shot just to bring it to within

276
00:20:29.480 --> 00:20:34.519
six. Huge difference there between six
and eight, and the Clippers were still

277
00:20:34.519 --> 00:20:38.279
in an uphill battle. It was
a ten point game. Harden gets fouled

278
00:20:38.279 --> 00:20:44.440
on a three early in the fourth. Bones Highland also had his fingerprints on

279
00:20:44.480 --> 00:20:48.400
this one, a floater early in
the fourth. I thought the lineup of

280
00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:52.319
him made some plumbley James Harden a
mere coffee. Terrence Man would struggle.

281
00:20:52.359 --> 00:20:56.480
They did early defensively, just too
many non defenders on the floor, but

282
00:20:56.920 --> 00:21:02.519
coach Lee was trying to buy pg
a couple more minutes he did. He

283
00:21:02.559 --> 00:21:06.839
came back in. He had a
steal. Harden had a putback after a

284
00:21:06.839 --> 00:21:10.960
miss by Norman Powell, then a
Plumbley put back made a five point game

285
00:21:11.000 --> 00:21:15.960
early in the fourth. Houston wasn't
going away though. Brooks hit that shot

286
00:21:15.960 --> 00:21:19.000
over Harden where he threw him to
the ground. Harden comes back, he

287
00:21:19.079 --> 00:21:27.559
gets a layup on Jabari Smith Junior. Then it was Cam Whitmore with a

288
00:21:27.599 --> 00:21:33.359
three. Like I said what you
earlier thinking of bTB, just shout out

289
00:21:33.839 --> 00:21:37.440
the bamboo. The Clippers bended,
but they did not break, being down

290
00:21:37.440 --> 00:21:45.319
by twenty. But then you saw
a huge Paul George three off a Mason

291
00:21:45.359 --> 00:21:51.799
Plumley offensive rebound, then a Plumb
block and shng Goon turned it over.

292
00:21:52.440 --> 00:21:56.319
It was Norman Powell with a steal
a James Harden oop to big Plumb.

293
00:21:56.640 --> 00:22:00.000
I mean, the guy had a
huge reverse layup early in the third quarter

294
00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:03.480
where he first got into the ball
game. Those are energy plays. It's

295
00:22:03.519 --> 00:22:07.160
not just two points. It gets
the team going. Whitmore, though,

296
00:22:07.200 --> 00:22:11.200
responded with a jumper. Houston wasn't
going away. They executed two, but

297
00:22:11.279 --> 00:22:15.039
then there was that hard and kickout
to Kawhi for three where he got all

298
00:22:15.079 --> 00:22:18.839
the attentions. He attacked the paint. I don't know how he got that

299
00:22:18.880 --> 00:22:22.319
pass to Kawhi who has been struggling
from the outside. Not just the Clippers

300
00:22:22.359 --> 00:22:26.119
as a team may coin side with
Kawhi Leonard not looking the same from the

301
00:22:26.160 --> 00:22:30.039
outside over the past couple of weeks. Shngun though, over Plumbley, that

302
00:22:30.160 --> 00:22:33.920
is a tough matchup for anyone,
asked Victor women Yama, who got forty

303
00:22:33.920 --> 00:22:38.279
five put on him yesterday by she
Gun. Plumbley was doing his best normally,

304
00:22:38.279 --> 00:22:42.680
got a bucket where he thought he
was fouled. After that a Fred

305
00:22:42.839 --> 00:22:48.799
Van Bliet three pointer, but there
was an offensive foul by Cam Whitmore right

306
00:22:48.839 --> 00:22:56.279
afterwards, so they got the three
anyways. And then Kawhi over Cam for

307
00:22:56.359 --> 00:22:59.640
a tough jumper. That's one of
the best athletes in the game right now.

308
00:22:59.720 --> 00:23:03.599
Not easy for the Claw. Another
Fred bucket, Norman Pal a three

309
00:23:03.640 --> 00:23:08.839
pointer. It's a two point game. Then Houston got two offensive rebounds,

310
00:23:10.200 --> 00:23:14.519
but the Clippers got multiple stops.
They couldn't get boards, but they got

311
00:23:14.559 --> 00:23:21.359
stopped still, and then Kawhi tied
it with a jump shot over Jabari Smith.

312
00:23:22.799 --> 00:23:25.599
Shenguon would go to the free throw
line. He was missing some big

313
00:23:25.640 --> 00:23:30.400
ones late. He only went one
of two. Clippers are down by one.

314
00:23:30.599 --> 00:23:37.640
Then we saw some hack of Plumbley. Interesting by Emy. There was

315
00:23:37.680 --> 00:23:41.400
a chess mask going on between the
two head coaches. I like this coaching

316
00:23:41.400 --> 00:23:44.799
staff for the Houston Rockets. That's
the reason they're seven. Defensively, they

317
00:23:44.839 --> 00:23:48.920
have an identity on that end.
Plumbley would miss both, so Houston's still

318
00:23:49.000 --> 00:23:52.160
up by one. But then it
was I don't know who got credit for

319
00:23:52.200 --> 00:23:56.000
this block. It could have been
Norman Powell, it could have been Mason

320
00:23:56.000 --> 00:24:00.519
plumb Lee. They both can test
one from Shngoon at the basket, and

321
00:24:00.559 --> 00:24:03.440
then it was a PG three off
a beautiful pass from Kawhi Leonard, a

322
00:24:03.559 --> 00:24:08.319
kickout. Clippers are up by two, they get a stop, Kawhi gets

323
00:24:08.359 --> 00:24:15.240
the and one. They're up by
five. Rockets weren't going away to Bori

324
00:24:15.319 --> 00:24:19.400
Smith. Three pointer, two point
game. Norman Powell goes to the line,

325
00:24:19.400 --> 00:24:25.599
then he goes one of two.
Clippers lead by three. The chess

326
00:24:25.640 --> 00:24:30.960
match continued. It was Terrence Man
subbing in for Mason Plumley who was having

327
00:24:30.000 --> 00:24:33.640
his struggles on Shehngoon, so put
Kawhi Leonard on him. Get Terrence Man

328
00:24:33.640 --> 00:24:37.640
out there for rotation old defense along
the perimeter. I loved it. I

329
00:24:37.759 --> 00:24:42.000
was asking for it on Twitter.
Mason Plumley's struggles on that end as good

330
00:24:42.039 --> 00:24:48.720
as he was. It's Shngoon and
then Kawhi gets called for a ridiculous foul

331
00:24:48.920 --> 00:24:52.039
where he gets tripped by Fred van
Vliet. He's on the ground. Shengoon

332
00:24:52.119 --> 00:24:57.799
trips over Kawhi and they call it
on Kawhi Leonard but guess what ball don't

333
00:24:57.839 --> 00:25:03.079
lie? Shenguon would of the free
throw line. He missed both. Harden

334
00:25:03.119 --> 00:25:07.839
then missed a three pointer, but
Paul George came flying in for the offensive

335
00:25:07.880 --> 00:25:14.279
rebound. He gets fouled. Fred
van Vliet gets a technical. Paul George

336
00:25:14.359 --> 00:25:18.680
hit all three free throws after he
missed three free throws in the fourth quarter

337
00:25:19.119 --> 00:25:26.400
on Monday night against Milwaukee. That's
how you redeem yourself. Clippers were up

338
00:25:26.400 --> 00:25:30.119
at that point one eighteen to one
twelve. James Harden would knock down four

339
00:25:30.119 --> 00:25:33.079
more free throws. Houston had to
play the foul game, That's all she

340
00:25:33.160 --> 00:25:37.160
wrote. The Clippers come back down
by twenty. They win in Houston one

341
00:25:37.279 --> 00:25:41.319
twenty two to one sixteen. Before
we break here quickly, Javier Lahabra heights

342
00:25:41.319 --> 00:25:44.960
here on Clippers. Stop with that, Am aust what's up, Adam,

343
00:25:45.000 --> 00:25:47.519
take care of taking my call.
Couldn't call the other day when they lost

344
00:25:47.519 --> 00:25:49.480
to the Bucks. But man,
this game. De needed this game bad.

345
00:25:49.839 --> 00:25:52.119
I mean, there's no way they
could have lost this game. I

346
00:25:52.119 --> 00:25:55.599
mean at the end of the day, like you said, they started slow,

347
00:25:55.720 --> 00:25:57.839
but you know, the fourth quarter
they turned it on. And I

348
00:25:57.880 --> 00:26:00.839
didn't you. I was gonna say, man, this is only Houston,

349
00:26:02.279 --> 00:26:06.240
but I didn't know. We mentioned
that there were seventh in defense. Yeah,

350
00:26:06.240 --> 00:26:08.960
that's a surprise to I think everyone. Well, they're almost a bottom

351
00:26:08.960 --> 00:26:12.160
five offense. I think they're twenty
fourth there in offensive rating. Defensively,

352
00:26:12.400 --> 00:26:18.359
they're seventh on the season. That's
better in the Clippers. Yeah, no

353
00:26:18.480 --> 00:26:21.240
doubt, that's all. That's why
I did a three six that. I

354
00:26:21.359 --> 00:26:23.319
was like, wow, I didn't
know whether that been on defense, but

355
00:26:23.319 --> 00:26:26.160
but you know, it's a good
way. And from from this point on

356
00:26:26.519 --> 00:26:30.759
many I know they played with both
on Tardy and they the Bucks, and

357
00:26:30.799 --> 00:26:34.400
then again the timber was they gotta
win the next couple of games at them,

358
00:26:34.400 --> 00:26:37.279
they gotta win. They didn't want
to get to what number one,

359
00:26:37.359 --> 00:26:41.720
two or three seeds. They gotta
win they gotta take care of take care

360
00:26:41.720 --> 00:26:44.039
of business. So I said,
Adam, thank you for taking them a

361
00:26:44.079 --> 00:26:45.319
call. We'll talk to you soon. All right, Hovey, I appreciate

362
00:26:45.359 --> 00:26:48.960
the phone call. I'm with you. You gotta take down Chicago. Cannot

363
00:26:49.000 --> 00:26:52.920
take them lightly. They just came
back down twenty in Sacramento, believe it

364
00:26:53.039 --> 00:26:56.680
was last night. Gave the Kings
a terrible loss. They got to beat

365
00:26:56.720 --> 00:27:02.119
Chicago. They gotta beat Milwaukee,
who may have Janiston and a Koompo available

366
00:27:02.160 --> 00:27:04.680
this time on Sunday, back at
home, quick time out here on Clippers

367
00:27:04.720 --> 00:27:11.319
Talk. They were down fifty to
thirty. They looked dead in the water.

368
00:27:12.680 --> 00:27:18.200
Their offense was lifeless. They had
zero energy. They make a little

369
00:27:18.279 --> 00:27:22.519
run to end the first half,
and then Big Plumb in that third quarter

370
00:27:22.279 --> 00:27:29.960
provided the jolt jump started this team, getting boards, getting them extra possessions,

371
00:27:30.480 --> 00:27:36.079
getting some easy buckets. He hadn't
played the last two games. Love

372
00:27:36.119 --> 00:27:38.400
Big Plumb in that moment his best
game of the season. Maybe his best

373
00:27:38.440 --> 00:27:42.599
is a Clipper so far more clipperstock
here on five to seventy LA Sports next.

374
00:27:45.599 --> 00:27:48.960
Yeah, that's the time you want
to foul. Young team in Houston,

375
00:27:48.240 --> 00:27:55.599
still learning, learned about this Clippers
team hashtag comeback Clips. They were

376
00:27:55.640 --> 00:28:00.960
down twenty in Houston, they come
back to win once to one, sixteen

377
00:28:00.960 --> 00:28:03.880
over the Rockets. Welcome back in
to Clipperstock. I'm out a Moslin.

378
00:28:03.240 --> 00:28:07.079
Probably have gone too long without talking
about team Man talked about him being subbed

379
00:28:07.119 --> 00:28:12.480
in back and forth for Mason Plumbley
late in that fourth quarter. Just love

380
00:28:12.559 --> 00:28:18.359
the strategy and execution down the stretch
from the Clippers and Coach Lou. Coach

381
00:28:18.440 --> 00:28:22.440
Lou won them this game by making
the Mason Plumbley move, by trying to

382
00:28:22.559 --> 00:28:26.160
find a spark, some energy.
We're gonna hear from him postgame coming up.

383
00:28:26.200 --> 00:28:30.240
But Terrence Man some timely shots.
He was perfect from the field five

384
00:28:30.279 --> 00:28:36.079
of five. He was three of
three from distance. He had fifteen points.

385
00:28:36.839 --> 00:28:40.400
Mayson Plumbley, though coming in cold, I mean ice cold. One

386
00:28:40.440 --> 00:28:44.160
hundred two thousand would say it ice
cold, hadn't played the last two games.

387
00:28:44.240 --> 00:28:48.279
Gets twenty minutes was a team high
plus fourteen eight points, eleven boards,

388
00:28:48.519 --> 00:28:52.240
four offensive rebounds, and the Clippers
just won a game where they were

389
00:28:52.279 --> 00:28:59.000
out shot by fourteen more attempts by
the Houston Rockets. Not easy to do

390
00:28:59.480 --> 00:29:02.599
some of that because the Clippers were
getting to the charity stripe and making them

391
00:29:03.039 --> 00:29:07.279
twenty two or twenty six. They
attended twenty six free throws Houston seventeen.

392
00:29:07.680 --> 00:29:11.880
That tracks Houston gives up twenty four
per game to their opponent. They play

393
00:29:11.960 --> 00:29:15.720
ultra aggressive defensively. That's why they're
a good team. But it leads to

394
00:29:15.799 --> 00:29:19.480
some fouls, and they did intentionally
foul The Clippers, of course, late

395
00:29:19.960 --> 00:29:22.720
a lot of those, which skewed
the numbers a little bit. Let's go

396
00:29:22.799 --> 00:29:26.559
to Morrison, Long Beach. Morris
here on Clippers. Stop with Adam Mauslin.

397
00:29:26.599 --> 00:29:30.039
What's up, hey, tay Man. I'm gonna give a shout out

398
00:29:30.079 --> 00:29:33.039
to the Clippers. Look here,
Adam lick here man, we're going to

399
00:29:33.039 --> 00:29:36.559
see the best basketball of the NBA. We're going to see the best basketball

400
00:29:36.599 --> 00:29:38.759
of the NBA. We got twenty
games to go, and all these teams

401
00:29:38.799 --> 00:29:41.640
are good. All these teams are
good. There's no such thing as a

402
00:29:41.640 --> 00:29:45.400
surprise win or surprise loss. When
the Clippers lose the game, when they

403
00:29:45.400 --> 00:29:48.519
got a big lead, we say, oh my goodness, they choke.

404
00:29:48.720 --> 00:29:52.000
When they come back, we call
them the comeback Clips. Let me tell

405
00:29:52.000 --> 00:29:55.559
you something. All these teams go
through the same thing, but the Clippers

406
00:29:55.559 --> 00:29:57.039
just seem to come back a little
bit more than other teams. Let me

407
00:29:57.079 --> 00:30:00.960
let me tell you something. When
you get to the playoffs, Athamas,

408
00:30:02.039 --> 00:30:03.720
you know it's a half court game. When you get to the playoffs,

409
00:30:03.880 --> 00:30:07.440
it's a half court game. I
like the personnel we got for a half

410
00:30:07.440 --> 00:30:11.279
court game. I like Kawaii and
a half court. I like George,

411
00:30:11.359 --> 00:30:14.839
and I like hard than the calf
court. I'd say power. I'd say

412
00:30:14.920 --> 00:30:17.319
power, but you know these guys
I just mentioned they can get their own

413
00:30:17.359 --> 00:30:21.400
shot. Adam. We got a
good team. We're not gonna beat everybody,

414
00:30:21.599 --> 00:30:23.400
but I like where we're sitting.
And then to be where we are

415
00:30:23.680 --> 00:30:27.200
with twenty games ago, I'm still
thinking we got a shot. And when

416
00:30:27.279 --> 00:30:30.960
in the West now watching it,
you well, Oklahoma, Oklahoma. The

417
00:30:30.000 --> 00:30:33.200
Lakers were in ten to ninth and
they got a three and one record against

418
00:30:33.200 --> 00:30:37.680
Oklahoma. So it ain't over until
it's over. The Los Angeles simpleson.

419
00:30:37.759 --> 00:30:40.759
I know, I'm a homie.
I don't care. We're gonna win the

420
00:30:40.799 --> 00:30:42.480
state in the division. We're gonna
win. We got twenty games. I

421
00:30:42.559 --> 00:30:45.119
like we were only three games out, we're only three games up. We

422
00:30:45.160 --> 00:30:48.519
get a run, and we're like
we were early, like we were early

423
00:30:48.559 --> 00:30:51.759
in the league. What was it? I had a road game, a

424
00:30:51.839 --> 00:30:53.279
road trip in one, six games
out of seven or five games out of

425
00:30:53.319 --> 00:30:56.799
six, something like that. We
get one of them going again and we're

426
00:30:56.880 --> 00:31:00.599
right back there. So you know
you're gonna get some whining when they when

427
00:31:00.599 --> 00:31:03.240
they lose, they're going to be
complaining to trade everybody. But that's the

428
00:31:03.359 --> 00:31:06.880
NBA. Haven't even watch this for
a long time. You're professional, nobody.

429
00:31:06.920 --> 00:31:08.400
No team is gonna go eighty two
to zero, and all these teams

430
00:31:08.400 --> 00:31:11.640
are good. He has a world
class athlete. So anytime you get a

431
00:31:11.680 --> 00:31:17.400
win in the NBA, you better
show some gratitude because it ain't easy,

432
00:31:17.720 --> 00:31:23.119
okay you baby, especially when it's
a twenty point come back, especially when

433
00:31:23.200 --> 00:31:26.559
you need to be at your best
late. And the Clippers were on offense

434
00:31:26.680 --> 00:31:32.720
in start contrast, So what happened
Monday night in Milwaukee? You can say

435
00:31:32.720 --> 00:31:34.920
this is Houston, guess what,
seventh best defense in the league, and

436
00:31:34.960 --> 00:31:40.240
the Clippers put up forty two points
on them in the fourth quarter. Why

437
00:31:40.400 --> 00:31:45.200
because they went back to a system. The system James Harden. He had

438
00:31:45.200 --> 00:31:51.039
eleven points in the fourth, but
four assists, and they were all huge.

439
00:31:51.160 --> 00:31:56.759
He was just diamond left and right. They should never struggle the way

440
00:31:56.759 --> 00:32:00.000
they have in a couple of fourth
quarters recently. When you have James Harden

441
00:32:00.640 --> 00:32:04.559
run pick and roll, let him
run the show, play off of him.

442
00:32:05.079 --> 00:32:07.640
That's what we saw tonight. The
Clippers come back. They win one

443
00:32:07.680 --> 00:32:12.079
twenty two to one sixteen. We'll
take a quick time out, we'll come

444
00:32:12.119 --> 00:32:15.400
back. We'll hear from I don't
know if it's Chuck Monckler will Updike tonight.

445
00:32:15.480 --> 00:32:17.359
Nobody's texting me yet. We'll hear
from them. We'll hear from coach

446
00:32:17.440 --> 00:32:22.160
lou. The Clippers were down twenty
in the first half, and it always

447
00:32:22.200 --> 00:32:25.599
feels like, oh, they got
you right where they want you. They

448
00:32:25.599 --> 00:32:30.960
had them right where they wanted them. Clippers down big hashtag Clippers come back.

449
00:32:30.400 --> 00:32:34.680
They complete it. They win by
six in Houston. I'm atam Oslin's.

450
00:32:34.839 --> 00:32:39.440
You're listening to Clippers stock here on
a five seventy LA Sports loading Clippers

451
00:32:39.720 --> 00:32:45.200
fully loaded with Clippers fans. This
is LA Clippers basketball. You're listening to

452
00:32:45.240 --> 00:32:52.799
the La Clippers on the LA Clippers
Audio Network. I told you hashtag come

453
00:32:52.839 --> 00:32:54.599
back clips. If you're following me
at fallout of ay. I said it.

454
00:32:54.640 --> 00:32:58.880
In the first half, the Clippers
were down by twenty. They come

455
00:32:58.920 --> 00:33:01.279
through and win one twenty two to
one sixteen in Houston over the Rockets.

456
00:33:01.759 --> 00:33:07.200
Let's get out to him. It's
Will Updyke of Clips and Dip Fame joining

457
00:33:07.240 --> 00:33:12.000
the show post game. Will Who
do you give more credit to? Coach

458
00:33:12.079 --> 00:33:15.599
Lou Mason, Plumbley, Kawhi,
the Bearded Wonder, Paul George waking up

459
00:33:15.640 --> 00:33:19.119
in the second half? How are
the Clippers able to pull this off?

460
00:33:20.200 --> 00:33:22.759
Oh man? All of the above, but I think it starts with Kawhi.

461
00:33:22.839 --> 00:33:27.200
You know, he's often not times
the vocal guy. He leads by

462
00:33:27.319 --> 00:33:30.160
example, but it's clear that that
did have an effect, and it's just

463
00:33:30.440 --> 00:33:34.920
you know, whoever is. Like
I said, it's a combination of all

464
00:33:34.920 --> 00:33:37.039
the above. But it's nice to
be on the other side of one of

465
00:33:37.079 --> 00:33:40.759
these. It felt. It feels
like it's been a little while we've normally

466
00:33:40.759 --> 00:33:45.200
been the ones coffee up leads off
of leads. But yeah, I mean,

467
00:33:45.240 --> 00:33:50.559
Paul George was great in the fourth
after after not a great first half,

468
00:33:51.240 --> 00:33:53.920
But I was I mean, I
think we don't give him enough credit.

469
00:33:54.400 --> 00:33:57.759
I mean, certainly, I don't
know that he's been deserving of it

470
00:33:57.880 --> 00:34:01.839
necessarily, but Mason plumbley uh certainly
set the tone and turn things around in

471
00:34:01.880 --> 00:34:06.839
this game, uh in a way
that was just very evident, very clear,

472
00:34:07.559 --> 00:34:10.280
and a guy who has really been
struggling since returning to the rotation.

473
00:34:12.320 --> 00:34:15.519
You got to wonder what's going on
with Zoo, you know the possible implications

474
00:34:15.519 --> 00:34:19.400
with that. But I do want
to speak on that will because I just

475
00:34:19.440 --> 00:34:23.039
saw this from Lat Murray post game
right there. Coach Lou said Aviza Zoo

476
00:34:23.039 --> 00:34:28.119
bots had headaches and wasn't breathing well. They did not want to risk him

477
00:34:28.159 --> 00:34:32.400
playing after the first half. So
prayers up to Big Zoo. I hope

478
00:34:32.400 --> 00:34:37.679
he gets right over the next couple
of days off, but continue here will.

479
00:34:37.880 --> 00:34:42.679
Uh. Yeah, so stepping in
like stepping in obviously huge shoes to

480
00:34:43.360 --> 00:34:47.079
fill. But I thought Zoo didn't
look one hundred percent correct just washing it.

481
00:34:47.119 --> 00:34:50.079
I mean, he was just one
of four from the floor. It

482
00:34:50.199 --> 00:34:52.840
seemed like there was Yeah, it
seemed like there was some issue getting up

483
00:34:52.840 --> 00:34:55.519
and down the court. So I
was actually worded that it was related to

484
00:34:55.559 --> 00:35:00.800
the calf thing, but hopefully,
I mean hopefully if it's a like illness

485
00:35:00.840 --> 00:35:02.719
related, it's just something, just
something momentary. I mean, all this

486
00:35:04.280 --> 00:35:07.519
travel, you can imagine it takes
a toll on your body, especially if

487
00:35:07.519 --> 00:35:09.119
you're if you're trying to get right
physically to begin with. You know,

488
00:35:09.440 --> 00:35:14.440
yeah, no doubt. Mason Plumbley
comes in fills in admirably, and what

489
00:35:14.519 --> 00:35:16.880
a move by coach lou instead of
just starting Daniel Tyson the second half.

490
00:35:16.960 --> 00:35:21.519
Some of that may have been because
of foul trouble, but Mason Plumbley got

491
00:35:21.559 --> 00:35:23.599
his opportunity, and sometimes that's all
it takes. You get a little bit

492
00:35:23.639 --> 00:35:28.039
of a reset you step away from
the game. He hadn't played the last

493
00:35:28.079 --> 00:35:31.440
two for the Clippers, and it
was a completely different Mason Plumbley than what

494
00:35:31.480 --> 00:35:36.079
we had seen for the most part
since he came back from that knee injury.

495
00:35:36.159 --> 00:35:38.440
Oh and by the way, he
turned thirty four yesterday, so it

496
00:35:38.559 --> 00:35:44.800
was his birthday game out there,
Mason Plumbley, and he performed. That

497
00:35:45.039 --> 00:35:49.239
was maybe his best performance as a
Clipper considering. I think he was the

498
00:35:49.239 --> 00:35:51.920
head of the spear when it came
to this comeback. He was the driving

499
00:35:51.960 --> 00:35:55.039
force. Oh absolutely, I mean, do we have to celebrate his name.

500
00:35:55.239 --> 00:35:58.760
Do we have to celebrate his birthday
for the next month and a half

501
00:35:58.880 --> 00:36:02.199
or we give God a birthday month
like some of the girls on Super Sweet

502
00:36:02.239 --> 00:36:08.119
sixteen on MTV. I mean,
if he could keep this up, he's

503
00:36:08.159 --> 00:36:13.599
well deserving. But yeah, a
huge, huge tip of the caps to

504
00:36:13.760 --> 00:36:15.760
ty Alue with that, and I
do think I mean, while so much

505
00:36:15.760 --> 00:36:19.639
of it has been due to his
hand being forced, we have seen a

506
00:36:19.679 --> 00:36:22.559
lot of different lineups, we have
seen a lot of experimentation, and look,

507
00:36:22.719 --> 00:36:29.480
while the results have been less than
stellar, there's so many contributing factors

508
00:36:29.480 --> 00:36:34.480
with that, with you know,
both the absences and sort of the lessergy

509
00:36:34.559 --> 00:36:36.719
that hits in the middle of the
season. But it was good to see

510
00:36:36.760 --> 00:36:38.800
them lock in in this game.
I feel like I've been saying this like

511
00:36:38.840 --> 00:36:43.800
the last couple of good wins.
I mean, certainly since the Timberwolves win.

512
00:36:44.639 --> 00:36:46.360
But I hope that this is like
what it takes to lock in and

513
00:36:46.440 --> 00:36:51.840
like just just see something a little
bit more cohesive out there. Obviously they're

514
00:36:51.880 --> 00:36:55.800
not going to be perfect, I'm
not expecting that, but it's got to

515
00:36:55.840 --> 00:36:59.800
clean up. No, it's true, and they have to be much more

516
00:37:00.000 --> 00:37:04.360
assistant than this, But how much
does this I don't know. Calm your

517
00:37:04.360 --> 00:37:07.280
fears. Is a lot of people
have been talking about these collapses by the

518
00:37:07.280 --> 00:37:12.000
Clippers, two in a five days
stretch, and this time they come up

519
00:37:12.239 --> 00:37:15.840
huge in the fourth quarter. They
put up forty two points on the Houston

520
00:37:15.920 --> 00:37:17.679
Rockets after the Milwaukee Bucks, I
believe, have forty one in the fourth

521
00:37:17.760 --> 00:37:22.440
quarter against the Clippers Monday night.
Yeah, I mean, it's nice to

522
00:37:22.440 --> 00:37:25.880
have the momentum shift the opposite way. Like I said, they'd kick it

523
00:37:25.920 --> 00:37:30.440
off to not be on the on
the tail end of that. But you

524
00:37:30.480 --> 00:37:32.719
know, bottom line is they were
playing a team on the second night of

525
00:37:32.840 --> 00:37:37.480
back to back, Like I know
that the Rockets were at home. That's

526
00:37:37.559 --> 00:37:38.960
just not a situation you should be
in. That's not a team. That's

527
00:37:39.000 --> 00:37:42.960
not a situation this team can afford
to the end. And there's only so

528
00:37:43.079 --> 00:37:47.960
many, you know, there's only
so many second quarter pep talks that your

529
00:37:47.960 --> 00:37:52.239
star player can give, you know
what I mean, Things got to look

530
00:37:52.239 --> 00:37:54.760
a little bit better from the jump. It's a good win. They gritted

531
00:37:54.800 --> 00:37:58.639
one out. It would have been
easy to kind of roll over, especially

532
00:37:59.159 --> 00:38:02.800
given the terrible we can that we
have ahead of us. But I hope

533
00:38:02.800 --> 00:38:07.159
that this is like I hope that
they can kind of put one foot in

534
00:38:07.199 --> 00:38:08.119
front of the other after this win, you know what I mean. They

535
00:38:08.119 --> 00:38:12.000
got to thread the needle with this
a little bit. It's not enough to

536
00:38:12.119 --> 00:38:15.199
just just to come out with the
with the comeback victory. Yeah quickly,

537
00:38:15.280 --> 00:38:17.559
here will final one for you.
I got get out at the top.

538
00:38:17.599 --> 00:38:21.480
But Paul George, you know,
in that second half, he had two

539
00:38:21.519 --> 00:38:24.000
points at the half. I believe
he was one for six. He ends

540
00:38:24.079 --> 00:38:29.000
up with twenty one hits two clutch
three pointers in the fourth, has a

541
00:38:29.000 --> 00:38:32.440
big rebound, and he did shoot
it well overall to missing some free throws

542
00:38:32.519 --> 00:38:37.599
late in that game on Monday against
Milwaukee. Is there hope for the PG

543
00:38:37.679 --> 00:38:43.239
thirteen turnaround? Are we starting to
see it now? Oh? I mean

544
00:38:43.360 --> 00:38:46.559
there's there's gotta be right. He
just has not been at that level that

545
00:38:46.639 --> 00:38:51.159
we saw him to start the season, you know, and for a prolonged

546
00:38:51.239 --> 00:38:54.039
period of time. It's understandable that
there was concern out there from the fans.

547
00:38:54.079 --> 00:38:57.760
I was concerned. I mean,
you know, you hear about all

548
00:38:57.800 --> 00:39:00.280
this noise about the contract stuff.
And while I don't think that that's affecting

549
00:39:00.320 --> 00:39:05.559
a play. It's not like those
things aren't intertwined. And you know,

550
00:39:05.599 --> 00:39:09.119
we were kind of talking like literally
we were talking in this first half with

551
00:39:09.199 --> 00:39:13.639
our co host Charles Marker, like
what does a PG extension look like?

552
00:39:13.880 --> 00:39:16.320
And then that's a very different conversation
when we get the PG that to be

553
00:39:16.360 --> 00:39:21.360
fair, we have seen even in
the in fourth quarters, even in this

554
00:39:21.480 --> 00:39:24.400
sort of stretch where he hasn't been
you know, lightning like the lightning in

555
00:39:24.440 --> 00:39:29.079
a bottle that he was to start
the season. So it's I mean,

556
00:39:29.199 --> 00:39:31.800
it's huge and we need those,
you know, we need those sort of

557
00:39:31.840 --> 00:39:37.679
performances, like you know, we
got twenty points or more out of each

558
00:39:37.719 --> 00:39:40.159
of the Big three and that's you
know, like I feel like it's been

559
00:39:40.199 --> 00:39:45.159
a while since we've seen all three
firing on all cylinders like that. And

560
00:39:45.280 --> 00:39:49.760
while you know, hopefully you don't
have to see that and come from behind

561
00:39:49.840 --> 00:39:52.639
victories, you know, maybe we
could put some teams away with a little

562
00:39:52.639 --> 00:39:54.960
bit more ease. It is still
good to see and I'm hoping, you

563
00:39:55.000 --> 00:39:59.360
know, once I once again like
hopefully this is the sign of things to

564
00:39:59.440 --> 00:40:02.960
come. Not we think that we're
over you know, we're over the hill

565
00:40:04.039 --> 00:40:07.239
because we've you know, we've got
this feather in our cap, no doubt.

566
00:40:07.280 --> 00:40:09.079
He had nine points in the fourth
quarter, and I believe Carlo Amenez

567
00:40:09.079 --> 00:40:13.599
said it when the Big three go
for twenty plus in the same game,

568
00:40:13.719 --> 00:40:16.480
all three of them, Clippers are
now seven in Oh, thank you will.

569
00:40:16.480 --> 00:40:21.119
We'll talk to you on the YouTube
tomorrow. Absolutely sounds good. Thank
