Time for a postgame look. It's
your La Clippers. This is Clippers Locker

2
00:00:06.839 --> 00:00:10.199
Room, brought to you by Cedars
Sinai, the official health partner of the

La Clippers, and by Patchonga,
official travel casino of the LA Clippers.

4
00:00:15.480 --> 00:00:19.760
Breaking down today's action with the pre
and post game voice. If you're La

5
00:00:19.839 --> 00:00:25.000
Clippers, They're locking in every game
every night. Adam Osland. The Clippers

6
00:00:25.079 --> 00:00:29.239
score a season high one hundred and
thirty one points and they win by fourteen

7
00:00:29.440 --> 00:00:32.560
up in sack Town over the Kings
with a final score of one to thirty,

8
00:00:32.600 --> 00:00:36.000
one to one seventeen. Welcome into
your postgame show. I'm at am

9
00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:40.799
oslind We got Clippers Dot coming up
later tonight eight six six nine eight seven

10
00:00:40.880 --> 00:00:44.439
two five seventy eight sixty six nine
eight seven two fives seventy. But we'll

11
00:00:44.439 --> 00:00:48.280
get to second half highlights in more
coming up. First, back to your

12
00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:52.200
radio voice of the Clippers from Golden
One Center. It is Carlo Jimenez.

13
00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:55.159
Carlo, I want to start with
the guy who got them going in the

14
00:00:55.200 --> 00:01:00.200
first quarter, and aggressive Paul George
In. An aggressive James Harden is what

15
00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:03.399
we like to see, and tonight
it was James Harden with those seventeen points

16
00:01:03.399 --> 00:01:06.760
in the first he was excellent,
really sent The tone was so aggressive on

17
00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:08.599
the offensive end. He had a
couple of threes and on him. You're

18
00:01:08.680 --> 00:01:11.359
right, those that trio. I
mean, you look at the shots selection

19
00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:15.680
tonight, Leonard eighteen shots, George
eighteen shots, Harden fourteen shots. That

20
00:01:15.879 --> 00:01:19.400
is gorgeous to look at in the
box score, because that's exactly how you

21
00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:23.200
do it. If you're the Clippers
team, you attack with that three headed

22
00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:26.519
monster. Westbrook comes off the bench. He gives you a ton of energy

23
00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:30.239
with eight rebent, with eight assists
and five rebounds. It felt like we

24
00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:34.079
came out of Denver and there was
this gross, icky feeling. You felt

25
00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:38.640
like you had it showered in a
while, and tonight you got a nice,

26
00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:42.719
warm shower. That Clippers are clean. They had one turnover in the

27
00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:46.719
first half, a singular turnover in
the first half, and they are feeling

28
00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:49.400
good going into Golden State. But
you're right, Harden was magnificent. He

29
00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:53.359
was aggressive and is something that had
been talked about a lot. Joey Linnon,

30
00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:55.799
you talked about a pregame. We
were waiting for him to get going,

31
00:01:56.000 --> 00:02:00.760
and he found this spot and it
worked. James Harden finished with twenty

32
00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:04.799
six points on eight to fourteen shooting, knockdown five to three pointers. The

33
00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:08.759
Clippers went fifty percent from the outside
as a squad fourteen of twenty eight.

34
00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:12.639
But late in the ballgame we talked
about it, Carlow, you got to

35
00:02:12.680 --> 00:02:15.120
get it to your best player and
let him take over. And Kawhi Leonard

36
00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:19.120
was able to hold back the Sacramento
Kings as they tried to make a run

37
00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:22.080
late. And what was interesting about
tonight, Adam, is it didn't feel

38
00:02:22.120 --> 00:02:25.280
like Tylud did much that was creative. Right. We saw a good three

39
00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:29.400
minute stretch where it was post Kawhi
everybody on the other side of the court.

40
00:02:29.439 --> 00:02:31.199
Then it was post PG and then
at the fourth quarter it was pick

41
00:02:31.240 --> 00:02:34.840
and roll with Zoo and Harden,
and that was what they were going to

42
00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:38.719
And I think that simplicity helped this
offense get going, and Kawhi Leonard was

43
00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:42.439
a big part of that. He
was getting to the rim. How about

44
00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:46.960
the dunk, I mean, we
didn't even talk about that. Javaial McGee

45
00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:52.240
left and Kawhi Leonard made him pay
as he collected his first body of the

46
00:02:52.280 --> 00:02:54.319
season. It was an excellent move
from Leonard. He was aggressive early.

47
00:02:54.360 --> 00:02:58.479
You thought what was a good sign
was when he went for that baseline dunk

48
00:02:58.520 --> 00:03:00.439
in the second quarter, almost got
it to go. But man, when

49
00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:04.840
Kawhi is that aggressive to the rim, you know it's gonna be a good

50
00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:07.319
knife for the claw. He was
spry early on. He tried to dunk

51
00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:10.960
on Kevin Herder, who wasn't getting
some calls, but he played through it.

52
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:15.840
And to score thirty four points on
just eighteen shots is unbelievable efficiency.

53
00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:21.280
But virtuoso Kawhi Leonard. This is
what we've come to expect. He was

54
00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:23.599
fantastic. And I thought Terrence Mann
in the starting lineup and the starters,

55
00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:29.319
by the way, I'm gonna guess
they played their most minutes together since this

56
00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:32.879
new starting lineup tonight, and it
worked as they have been good. They

57
00:03:32.919 --> 00:03:37.199
played him for more minutes. Unfortunately, yes, they needed them late in

58
00:03:37.240 --> 00:03:39.159
the fourth quarter on the first night
of a back to back, but I

59
00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:43.520
just loved how connected they were out
there, and I thought Terrence Man also

60
00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:46.560
came through late with some key buckets. Yeah, the starters almost outscored the

61
00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:51.240
Kings by themselves one hundred and eleven
points. For the starters, one hundred

62
00:03:51.240 --> 00:03:53.400
and thirty one for the Clippers and
just one seventeen for the King. So

63
00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:55.919
you look at that number and you
think, wow, that is a group

64
00:03:57.000 --> 00:04:00.919
that played their best basketball tonight.
And it started with the three point shooting.

65
00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:03.360
Only twenty eight threes tonight after twelve
in the first quarter. Maybe that

66
00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:06.919
number could get up, but that
group was aggressive, they were fluid and

67
00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:10.879
really Adam. It felt like they
knew their role today, and that's something

68
00:04:10.919 --> 00:04:15.879
that's important in NBA basketball is knowing
what your job is out there on the

69
00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:18.600
court. And all these guys knew
what their job is and did it well

70
00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:21.480
tonight. It was fun to watch. It will be interesting to see how

71
00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:26.120
things play out tomorrow. I thought
Kobe Brown, as he talked about at

72
00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:30.279
postgame, some surprise first quarter minutes, maybe trying to rest some legs.

73
00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:33.319
But George up to forty minutes,
Harden with thirty nine, Leonard at thirty

74
00:04:33.319 --> 00:04:36.600
seven. So I wonder how Tylu
plays this one. But it was fun

75
00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:40.839
to watch the Clippers get a win
and that's what mattered tonight. We'll be

76
00:04:40.879 --> 00:04:45.160
interested to see and the depth of
this team will be tested. Didn't look

77
00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:47.759
good from Norman Powell. We hope
he's okay. He was able to walk

78
00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:51.959
into the trading room. It looks
like on his own back into the locker

79
00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:56.360
room. But I'm guessing Bones Highland
could be a guy that gets some minutes

80
00:04:56.360 --> 00:04:59.160
tomorrow on this back to back.
We'll see what happens. I'm sure coach

81
00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:01.959
lou is much more satisfied with the
way their offense played tonight. Nothing too

82
00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:05.519
nasty out there, a lot of
sweetness from the Clippers, and they played

83
00:05:05.560 --> 00:05:10.160
with that pace. He's been asking
for Carlo to play faster, even in

84
00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:13.560
just the half court. The movement
was there. They were making quicker decisions.

85
00:05:13.959 --> 00:05:15.879
This is how the Clippers have to
play. Yeah, that first half

86
00:05:15.959 --> 00:05:18.519
was the blueprint. It was the
blueprint for the rest of the season.

87
00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:23.600
They were nearly perfect. They had
a season high end points. They locked

88
00:05:23.600 --> 00:05:28.040
down on the defensive end. Nothing
was easy for Sacramento, and Tieron Fine

89
00:05:28.079 --> 00:05:30.879
said forty points, but the rest
of the team struggled from the field.

90
00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:32.560
I though it was a great night
for the Clippers, a great bounce back

91
00:05:32.680 --> 00:05:36.480
win, which is something they needed
here today. And now can you keep

92
00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:41.160
that going? You've won five of
your last seven. How do you keep

93
00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:44.399
it going against a hungary Golden State
team. Feels like today was it?

94
00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:47.160
Tune up and tomorrow is the test
at the Clippers will be in San Francisco.

95
00:05:47.279 --> 00:05:50.199
Tip time against the Golden State Warriors
is at seven. We'll have your

96
00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:55.360
pregame show starting right back here at
six. Carlo, great call as always.

97
00:05:55.399 --> 00:05:57.680
We'll do it again tomorrow. Thank
you so much. Adam. Can't

98
00:05:57.680 --> 00:05:59.480
wait. We get to do it
tomorrow. Man, what is it?

99
00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:04.560

109
00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:48.639
well, but right now. Second
half highlights. Clippers led by twenty two

110
00:06:48.879 --> 00:06:51.959
at the half, as they got
seventeen from PG in the first half,

111
00:06:53.040 --> 00:06:57.600
sixteen from Kawhi, nineteen from James
Harden and then in the third quarter,

112
00:06:57.759 --> 00:07:00.879
Big Zoo got into the act,
finds the traffic right and the layup twirls

113
00:07:00.920 --> 00:07:04.240
in. He'll eats a zou watch
is just his second field goal. George

116
00:07:13.000 --> 00:07:16.319

two. He's got eight find zubots at

117
00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:19.720
the free throw line, dives to
the right lane, spins, pumps right

00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:25.240
hand and floiater skips in. Zoe's
got ten to go along with eight rebounds.

119
00:07:25.399 --> 00:07:27.680
Bark won our attacks to the baseline, bounced pans ubats on the right

120
00:07:27.720 --> 00:07:30.759
block, two hand in hammer.
He'll eats his who watch with a dozen.

121
00:07:31.160 --> 00:07:35.560
Big Zoo with those twelve points in
the twelve minutes in the third quarter

122
00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:41.600
and after three Clippers led one O
two to a one in the fourth thought

123
00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:45.360
got a little bit dicey for a
moment. The Sacramento Kings were gonna go

124
00:07:45.439 --> 00:07:47.560
away. They made a push,
but then Kawhi Leonard re entered the ball

125
00:07:47.639 --> 00:07:51.000
game and put this one on ice. Bounce pans who watch freak to line

126
00:07:51.040 --> 00:07:57.800
Leonard open top of the yard three
bottoms Gowis got thirty. Leonard collects it

127

00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:13.120
by Barnes tworder on the baseline per
o, why is still cooking? With

131
00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:18.240
the heat on high? Kawhi Leonard
was seven of his thirty four points on

132
00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:22.000
just fourteen of eighteen shooting. He
only took eighteen shots to get to thirty

133
00:08:22.040 --> 00:08:24.680
four points, but he was closed. This one out one thirty one one

134
00:08:24.680 --> 00:08:30.560
point seventeen was the final Terrence man
I should mention. He also had nine

135
00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:35.559
points in the fourth quarter alone.
Some big buckets around the basket got nan

136
00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:39.000
one let out that primordial scream was
good to see. Terrence Man played great.

137
00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:43.440
The starting lineup was elite tonight.
They played heavy minutes. Now that's

138
00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:46.799
a little bit unfortunate if you're looking
for a sour note tonight and only see

139
00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:52.960
the glass half full. Clippers will
be in Golden State tomorrow up in San

140
00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:58.240
Francisco taking on the Warriors. But
they needed this bounce back victory and they

141
00:08:58.279 --> 00:09:01.519
did so in style. They dominate
the Kings. They win by fourteen.

142
00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:09.519
Kawhi Leonard is still him thirty four
in thirty six minutes. What a victory

00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:26.879

00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:58.320
night. I think a loss like
that tests your character. A win like

153
00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:01.679
this can show you who you really
are. But they got to keep it

154
00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:05.799
going. They'll be taken on the
Warriors up in San Francisco tomorrow night.

155
00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:11.720
Final box score. Though Clippers shot
fifty four percent from the field, go

156
00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:16.960
fifty percent from distance, fourteen of
twenty eight from three, seventeen of twenty

157
00:10:16.039 --> 00:10:20.320
two from the free throw line,
I do get out rebounded forty seven to

158
00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:24.240
thirty seven. But some of those
offensive rebounds by the Sacramento Kings, I

159
00:10:24.279 --> 00:10:26.919
don't want to say, some fortunate
bounces. But they hustled, they played

160
00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:31.240
hard. They were the team on
the back to back after beating Golden State

161
00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:35.080
last night at home, not like
they had to travel. They still slept

162
00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:37.480
in their own beds. Leading the
Clippers, as I mentioned, Kawhi Leonard

163
00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:41.679
with thirty four. Behind him was
James Harden, who had seventeen of his

164
00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:46.720
twenty six points in the first quarter. Please call in tonight on Clippers Talk.

165
00:10:48.440 --> 00:10:52.399
Tell me that rush should still be
starting over James Harden tell me this

166
00:10:52.519 --> 00:10:56.559
starting lineup isn't working. That has
now won five of their last seven ball

167
00:10:56.679 --> 00:11:01.639
games, and the numbers are elee
with this starting unit and coach lou stuck

168
00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:05.559
with it longer in the first half
closed with it in the second half.

169
00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:11.480
One of my critiques was not closing
with the starting unit against the Denver Nuggets

170
00:11:11.679 --> 00:11:16.600
on Monday night. Did so tonight
Clippers were ended up running away with this

171
00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:18.840
one. Big Zoo had fourteen to
twelve, of which came in the third

172
00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:26.399
quarter. Terrence Man, who nine
of his eighteen points in the fourth effort,

173
00:11:26.519 --> 00:11:30.840
plays hustle, plays eight of twelve
from the field. Almost everything was

174
00:11:30.879 --> 00:11:33.639
around the basket with him. You
love to see it. But he also

175
00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:37.840
knocked down a couple of jumpers.
He's expanding his game and the guys trust

176
00:11:37.919 --> 00:11:41.360
him with that shot. Paul George
nineteen points. Want to say he made

177
00:11:41.559 --> 00:11:45.480
just one field goal in the second
half, but it came early in the

178
00:11:45.559 --> 00:11:48.960
fourth quarter, big shot to remind
the Kings, Yeah, the Clippers are

179
00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:54.840
still up by eighteen. So the
Sacramento Kings, one of the best teams

180
00:11:54.120 --> 00:11:58.120
in the league. In the West
yes, second night of a back to

181
00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:01.559
back, but they still got forty
from Deer and Fox and your Los Angeles

182
00:12:01.600 --> 00:12:05.399
Clippers still win by fourteen, as
they had just seven turnovers leading to five

183
00:12:05.480 --> 00:12:11.159
points. Sacramento had fourteen, leading
to thirteen points for the Clippers. Clippers

184
00:12:11.240 --> 00:12:16.120
also fifty eight points in the paint. When you only take twenty eight threes,

185
00:12:16.320 --> 00:12:20.159
you got got to be a force
in the paint, and the Clippers

186
00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:26.480
were twenty nine of fifty in the
painted area second chance points. Kings beat

187
00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:28.639
them there twelve to eight. Clippers, though in the fast break nine to

188
00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:35.120
three in their favor. Clippers won
thirty one, Sacramento Kings one seventeen.

189
00:12:35.639 --> 00:12:39.519
Outside of Los Angeles, we are
leaving you until tomorrow. Clippers taking on

190
00:12:39.639 --> 00:12:43.799

Now, your host on your home. For the Clippers, they were in

200
00:13:28.919 --> 00:13:33.679
attack mode. Adam Osley was the
Clippers holding court up in Sacramento over the

201
00:13:33.799 --> 00:13:39.200
Kings. They win one thirty one
to one seventeen. As they look like

202
00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:43.879
the faster, fresher team that can
play with pace when they bring that effort

203
00:13:43.960 --> 00:13:48.440
that we called for after that loss
Monday night. Welcome into Clippers Talk.

I'm Adam oslind eight six six nine

As the Clippers are now five and two

206
00:14:00.360 --> 00:14:05.519
with this new starting lineup with Kawhi
Paul, George Big Zoo, Terrence Man

207
00:14:05.720 --> 00:14:09.840
and James Harden, who got them
off to a quick start. As he

208
00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:18.679
just needs to take shots sometimes it's
that simple. Alkham's razor. James Harden

209
00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:24.960
is still a great player. James
Harden can still blow by guys. James

210
00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:28.240
Harden can still knock down three pointers, had five of them. All he's

211
00:14:28.279 --> 00:14:33.480
got to do is be aggressive.
All he has to do is play his

212
00:14:33.720 --> 00:14:37.159
game that he's been doing for fifteen
years, give or take one or two.

213
00:14:39.279 --> 00:14:45.000
He's a Hall of Famer and he's
still got it, and so does

214
00:14:45.080 --> 00:14:50.000
Kawhi Leonard. I heard a lot
of talk over the last couple of days

215
00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:56.240
those guys can't get by anyone anymore. They're old, they're slow. Kawhi

216
00:14:56.360 --> 00:15:01.600
Leonard still has that bounce. Remember
this, the injuries he's had to his

217
00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:09.639
right leg, the ACL the tendantopathy, the meniscus. Well, guess what,

218
00:15:11.960 --> 00:15:16.279
he's a left leged jumper. He
jumps off his left leg. JaVale

219
00:15:16.360 --> 00:15:20.919
McGee knows that. Maybe he doesn't, as Kawhi dunked on him for an

220
00:15:20.960 --> 00:15:26.879
an one almost had a huge dunk
on Herder in the first half, multiple

221
00:15:26.080 --> 00:15:33.159
explosive plays, and the defense on
Malik Monk, one of the quickest players

222
00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:35.960
in the league who after hitting a
game winner last night to take down the

223
00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:43.440
Golden State Warriors, Monk was three
of eight first fifteen points. Kawhi has

224
00:15:43.639 --> 00:15:48.720
thirty four on just eighteen shots.
I did a deep dive earlier today went

225
00:15:48.799 --> 00:15:54.559
through some old footage of Kawhi with
the Spurs with a fine tooth comb posted

226
00:15:54.600 --> 00:15:58.679
some images and video at follow out
of may On X and I thought,

227
00:15:58.679 --> 00:16:03.399
to my, so the lift is
still there. What am I looking at?

228
00:16:03.840 --> 00:16:06.200
People keep saying, Oh, his
shots off because of the lift.

229
00:16:07.320 --> 00:16:12.000
No, he looked fine in the
Lakers game. He's looked fine for the

230
00:16:12.039 --> 00:16:15.960
most part. Earlier in games.
You can argue maybe he can't sustain it

231
00:16:17.080 --> 00:16:21.000
as well. Maybe there's some fatigue, maybe some timing's off. He's playing

232
00:16:21.080 --> 00:16:23.919
next to James Harden. They're trying
to work through this transitional phase. Kawhi

233
00:16:23.960 --> 00:16:30.039
hasn't been taking as many shots,
but he took twenty six against Denver and

234
00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:37.360
maybe shot himself out of that slump
because tonight he just needed eighteen shots to

235
00:16:37.399 --> 00:16:40.960
get his thirty four and looked like
he could go for an easy forty if

236
00:16:41.000 --> 00:16:48.440
he wanted to. That's your superstar. That's a guy who can still be

237
00:16:48.519 --> 00:16:53.320
the number one option on a championship
ball club. Because look, if Kawhi

238
00:16:53.440 --> 00:16:59.759
had lost a step, if he
didn't look right, and all the signs

239
00:16:59.799 --> 00:17:03.240
from me earlier in the season was
he was just missing. He was moving

240
00:17:03.320 --> 00:17:07.440
fine. I kept telling people,
look at him defensively. I know he

241
00:17:07.519 --> 00:17:11.160
had some lapses against Denver, as
the entire team did in the most disappointing

242
00:17:11.240 --> 00:17:15.039
loss of the year, but it
makes this bounce back that much sweeter that

243
00:17:15.160 --> 00:17:19.519
they had this level of focus.
Knew they came up short and then some

244
00:17:19.680 --> 00:17:26.559
against Denver. Knew it wasn't their
best effort, and Kawhi knew he had

245
00:17:26.599 --> 00:17:30.440
to lead this team tonight. He
had a going early too. Wasn't just

246
00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:37.440
James Harden. Kawhi had some quick
moves to the basket, missed that dunk

247
00:17:37.480 --> 00:17:40.559
on Herd Or thought he was fouled, but then had a block on Monk.

248
00:17:41.599 --> 00:17:47.200
He had a left handed dunk Kawhi, then another dunk off a hardened

249
00:17:47.200 --> 00:17:51.599
steel in transition in the first half, then a block on Fox. A

250
00:17:51.759 --> 00:17:56.640
nice pass to Terrence Man in the
second quarter for an easy one. Man

251
00:17:56.799 --> 00:18:04.519
was fantastic tonight. Three a jumper
to end the second far side short corner,

252
00:18:06.160 --> 00:18:10.559
and the Clippers are up by twenty
two in the first half. This

253
00:18:10.720 --> 00:18:14.160
is what I'm talking about. This
is the firepower they can have. When

254
00:18:14.279 --> 00:18:18.480
James Harden is just aggressive out there
and looking for his he gets it going.

255
00:18:18.039 --> 00:18:25.000
Everybody else is gonna eat too.
Trust me, putting him in the

256
00:18:25.039 --> 00:18:29.920
starting lineup was the right move.
I said it back in July. That's

257
00:18:29.960 --> 00:18:37.079
what it has to be. It's
not that he wasn't starting, but if

258
00:18:37.119 --> 00:18:41.920
you have him next to Russell Westbrook, he's gonna defer more. He's not

259
00:18:41.000 --> 00:18:45.119
gonna be empowered to be the number
one playmaker. That doesn't make sense.

260
00:18:48.680 --> 00:18:53.839
He's gotta be him. He's got
to play like James Harden and tonight he

261
00:18:55.000 --> 00:19:00.160
came out on fire. It was
insane. Some of the stuff he was

262
00:19:00.240 --> 00:19:03.680
hitting. The steal on the three
he hit near the end of the first

263
00:19:03.799 --> 00:19:11.960
quarter was just nasty, and he
ended up with five steals. He could

264
00:19:11.960 --> 00:19:15.559
play a little defense too. I
know it wasn't there on Monday night.

265
00:19:17.079 --> 00:19:21.119
It wasn't there from really anyone.
That was as disappointing of a loss as

266
00:19:21.119 --> 00:19:26.160
we have seen in the two one
three era. But tonight they showed some

267
00:19:26.319 --> 00:19:33.079
character, some grit. It was
gut check time. This team could have

268
00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:36.039
just fallen apart against Sacramento, one
of the best teams in the West.

269
00:19:36.599 --> 00:19:38.559
If they played like they did Monday
night, they would have got beat by

270
00:19:38.680 --> 00:19:44.079
thirty. Instead, they were up
by as many as twenty five instead they

271
00:19:44.160 --> 00:19:48.519
won by fourteen. Yeah, you
wish they could have not played the starter

272
00:19:48.720 --> 00:19:51.440
so much late. You wanted to
get greedy. They got a game tomorrow

273
00:19:51.559 --> 00:19:57.680
night, but you'll take the dub
and that starting lineup. Guys, they've

274
00:19:57.720 --> 00:20:03.880
been elite with Terrence Man in for
Russell Westbrook. I'll give you the numbers

275
00:20:03.920 --> 00:20:08.880
after we paused ten seconds for station
identification here on AM five seventy LA Sports.

276
00:20:10.400 --> 00:20:15.519
This is LA Clippers Basketball. AM
five to seventy KLAC Los Angeles,

277
00:20:15.799 --> 00:20:21.480
ninety seven KYSR HD two Los Angeles
and iHeartRadio station. Well get to your

278
00:20:21.519 --> 00:20:25.160
phone calls at eight six six nine, eight seven two five seventy. But

279
00:20:25.279 --> 00:20:30.000
I posted this yesterday even after that
brutal performance Monday night against Denver, a

280
00:20:30.119 --> 00:20:36.200
game they never should have lost.
They knew it, Coach Lou said earlier

281
00:20:36.240 --> 00:20:41.880
today had shoot around. Look,
they had won. I think it was

282
00:20:41.960 --> 00:20:45.359
four or five with the new starting
lineup. They're only lost to the Pelicans

283
00:20:47.160 --> 00:20:52.920
before that letdown Monday night. And
he said before that bs against Denver,

284
00:20:52.480 --> 00:21:00.559
he wasn't happy. He has been
asking and begging this team to play faster.

285
00:21:00.279 --> 00:21:06.400
Oh they did tonight. They outpayd
Sacramento. They beat them at their

286
00:21:06.440 --> 00:21:11.480
own game. But through six games, not counting tonight, I'll look for

287
00:21:11.559 --> 00:21:15.359
the new numbers. Not sure if
they're registered yet, but that Clippers starting

288
00:21:15.440 --> 00:21:22.039
lineup with Terrence Man, James Harden, Paul George Kawhi Zubats coming into this

289
00:21:22.200 --> 00:21:26.960
game a one eighteen offensive rating,
a ninety four defensive rating. That's a

290
00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:30.359
plus twenty three net rating, and
coming into this game, these numbers are

291
00:21:30.440 --> 00:21:33.920
going to go up now. They've
been shooting fifty two percent from the field

292
00:21:33.960 --> 00:21:40.480
together and thirty seven percent from three. I said a couple games ago they

293
00:21:40.519 --> 00:21:45.680
are due for a hot three point
shooting game. They finally got it tonight.

294
00:21:45.720 --> 00:21:48.240
They win fifty percent from the outside. They have too many good three

295
00:21:48.279 --> 00:21:52.519
point shooters to have been shooting.
I want to say thirty two percent,

296
00:21:52.720 --> 00:21:56.599
yes, over their last six games. But to put it in perspective,

297
00:21:57.640 --> 00:22:03.680
the third best offense right now in
the league in the Dallas Mavericks as an

298
00:22:03.680 --> 00:22:11.480
offensive rating of one to eighteen.
The best defense is the Minnesota Timberwolves with

299
00:22:11.599 --> 00:22:15.039
an offensive rating of one oh six. The Clippers with this starting lineup,

300
00:22:15.079 --> 00:22:22.160
it was ninety five their defensive rating
entering tonight, with an offensive rat of

301
00:22:22.200 --> 00:22:25.400
one eighteen that I think can go
up and will go up after this performance,

302
00:22:26.960 --> 00:22:30.680
because when you have James Harden out
there running the show and running pick

303
00:22:30.759 --> 00:22:37.160
and roll, it's almost like three
points at times spam it just bludging them

304
00:22:37.240 --> 00:22:41.119
to death with the pick and roll. Coach lu said this also earlier shoot

305
00:22:41.160 --> 00:22:45.440
around, we get good shots.
We run it sixty times, we probably

306
00:22:45.480 --> 00:22:48.000
get a good shot fifty five times. That's what he said. He's right,

307
00:22:48.279 --> 00:22:52.160
it's hard to contain. There were
still some miscues. Big Zoom missed

308
00:22:52.200 --> 00:22:57.279
a layup. Now he was a
force in that third quarter. After missing

309
00:22:57.359 --> 00:23:03.200
that layup in the pick and roll
with James Carden, he then had an

310
00:23:03.240 --> 00:23:07.720
easy one of the basket, a
big dunk, a couple more layups,

311
00:23:07.799 --> 00:23:12.279
a dunk on Sabonis, who he
just dominated tonight and has dominated in his

312
00:23:12.480 --> 00:23:18.480
career. He dunked on Sabonis something
fierce back when Demontes was an Indiana pacer.

313
00:23:19.000 --> 00:23:23.039
Look it up. Demontebonus tonight,
who's having a great start to this

314
00:23:23.160 --> 00:23:27.319
season healthy again, had the finger
injury second half of last year, played

315
00:23:27.319 --> 00:23:33.519
through a tough guy. Went three
of twelve for eleven points, and I

316
00:23:33.680 --> 00:23:40.279
want to say all three blocks from
Big Zoo were on Sabonis. He just

317
00:23:40.440 --> 00:23:45.079
crushed him. He made him look
small. That's what Big Zoo has to

318
00:23:45.200 --> 00:23:48.880
do. And Paul George, you
can say, ah ho home games seven

319
00:23:48.920 --> 00:23:53.720
of eighteen nineteen points. Okay,
he still got up eighteen shots. Kawhi

320
00:23:53.839 --> 00:23:59.799
got up eighteen, James Harden got
up fourteen, Terrence Man got up twelve,

321
00:24:00.359 --> 00:24:04.200
Zubos twelve. This was the best
shot distribution we have seen with this

322
00:24:04.359 --> 00:24:11.640
new starting five. Everybody was eating
once Harden got it going early. That's

323
00:24:11.720 --> 00:24:15.440
what he can do. He finished
with six assists, just two turnovers.

324
00:24:15.880 --> 00:24:22.799
Clippers as a team ended up with
I believe seven. They only had one

325
00:24:22.839 --> 00:24:27.759
turnover in the first half. You
want to talk about focused. Yeah,

326
00:24:27.880 --> 00:24:32.759
seven turnovers total in the ball game, six of them in the second half.

327
00:24:32.880 --> 00:24:36.039
Fine, you'll always take that in
a half. That's not bad.

328
00:24:37.119 --> 00:24:45.079
One in the first half. Crisp
laser sharp. That is how you bounce

329
00:24:45.200 --> 00:24:51.119
back and give Clipper Nation hope again. That has been riding with you and

330
00:24:51.319 --> 00:24:56.519
was dying Monday night, after losing
to Reggie Jackson and DeAndre Jordan, with

331
00:24:56.680 --> 00:25:03.480
Denver being down their three best guys
in excuse tonight, Clippers showed some heart,

332
00:25:04.880 --> 00:25:10.759
and they showed some strategy that starting
lineup works, so use it.

333
00:25:12.000 --> 00:25:18.039
They had only been averaging the starting
lineup sixteen minutes per ball game. I

334
00:25:18.079 --> 00:25:19.920
don't know what the number was tonight, how long those five were out there,

335
00:25:21.000 --> 00:25:26.240
but I'm pretty sure it was their
season high to start things off.

336
00:25:26.319 --> 00:25:30.799
Hoosean Downey, you're on Clipper stock
without of Maas and what's up? Hey,

337
00:25:30.880 --> 00:25:33.240
man, it was good to see
them play with actual heart. Man,

338
00:25:33.640 --> 00:25:37.799
it was good to see them actually
play together. I have a question

339
00:25:38.400 --> 00:25:41.599
to you. I mean, I
know nobody's gonna stop the Kings. You

340
00:25:41.680 --> 00:25:45.240
know, when they're down big,
they're gonna they're gonna come hard, and

341
00:25:45.559 --> 00:25:48.640
they're gonna they're gonna try to shoot
their way into the game, and they're

342
00:25:48.640 --> 00:25:53.400
gonna pick up their intensity. I
just I would have liked to see Clippers

343
00:25:53.759 --> 00:25:56.920
a little bit more focused, knowing
that that's gonna come towards them. Uh.

344
00:25:57.039 --> 00:26:00.160
I think you mentioned the six turnovers. They're going to be active.

345
00:26:00.960 --> 00:26:03.640
I just would have liked to see
a little bit more focus on, like,

346
00:26:03.720 --> 00:26:07.039
hey, they're gonna come hard,
make sure we make the right pass,

347
00:26:07.119 --> 00:26:08.920
make sure we're looking around. Well, let me say this, there

348
00:26:08.960 --> 00:26:11.799
were two turnovers at the end of
the third quarter, one by Russ and

349
00:26:11.839 --> 00:26:17.799
then one by James Harden that were
sloppy and bad miscues. Those ones I

350
00:26:17.880 --> 00:26:21.839
didn't like. I think they knew
they were coming. It's just a hard

351
00:26:21.880 --> 00:26:23.680
team to stop. They were due
at some point. They shot the ball

352
00:26:23.799 --> 00:26:27.960
so poorly from three early on,
the law of averages came into effect a

353
00:26:29.039 --> 00:26:33.000
little bit with them. Yeah,
I want to ask you a question,

354
00:26:33.079 --> 00:26:38.480
how did you like tylerugoing to Brown
instead of PJ. Tuckers. Well,

355
00:26:40.440 --> 00:26:45.559
let me say this, Kobe Brown
offers some of that PJ. Tucker game,

356
00:26:45.480 --> 00:26:48.480
even just body type. You can
see it with his hustle, yeah,

357
00:26:49.240 --> 00:26:53.160
and being a big body out there. The difference is I think PJ.

358
00:26:53.359 --> 00:26:57.480
Tucker's attempted like two shots in the
last sixty minutes he's been on the

359
00:26:57.559 --> 00:27:02.319
court. It might even be more
than that. He's just turning down threes.

360
00:27:02.400 --> 00:27:04.759
He's not taking them anymore from the
corner. That's where he made a

361
00:27:04.839 --> 00:27:08.119
living, and he just doesn't have
confidence in the shot. And so what

362
00:27:08.240 --> 00:27:14.319
happens is you get a guy like
that out there, while he has good

363
00:27:14.400 --> 00:27:18.720
defense still left, even at thirty
eight years of age, it's hard to

364
00:27:18.880 --> 00:27:26.000
overcome that much of a negative on
offense. And Kobe Brown, ye,

365
00:27:26.400 --> 00:27:30.440
we'll see. He knocked down one
three pointer, went one for two from

366
00:27:30.519 --> 00:27:34.519
the outside. But this is somebody
that shot forty six percent last season from

367
00:27:34.599 --> 00:27:40.640
three at Massoo and he jumped up
about twenty percent I think even twenty five

368
00:27:40.680 --> 00:27:45.279
percent in this three point shooting his
senior year. So there's a lot of

369
00:27:45.359 --> 00:27:48.759
unknowns with Kobe Brown, but I
like the effort. He did have the

370
00:27:48.799 --> 00:27:52.799
shot clock violation, that's a rookie
mistake, just can't happen. That was

371
00:27:52.839 --> 00:27:56.519
one of their turnovers, one of
their seven. But hey, they need

372
00:27:56.599 --> 00:28:00.319
to get younger, they need more
youth, they need more athleticism. We're

373
00:28:00.319 --> 00:28:06.400
gonna find out what he has.
Apparently, because coach Lou said postgame,

374
00:28:07.000 --> 00:28:10.200
so I'm glad you brought it up, Jose, Kobe is going to be

375
00:28:10.279 --> 00:28:12.720
in the rotation. So it looks
like this is his chance. He's gonna

376
00:28:12.720 --> 00:28:15.680
give him a look. And with
how tough the Clippers schedule is, with

377
00:28:15.759 --> 00:28:19.759
all the back to backs, including
coming up tomorrow, they have to find

378
00:28:19.799 --> 00:28:23.559
guys with fresh legs. They have
to dig deep into their bench and show

379
00:28:23.599 --> 00:28:26.599
off their depth. So we're gonna
see what happens with Kobe Brown. All

380
00:28:26.640 --> 00:28:30.640
right, Jose Yes, sounds good. I hope there's more callers this time

381
00:28:30.759 --> 00:28:33.680
around. On the positive side,
we can't just call when it's you know,

382
00:28:33.759 --> 00:28:37.839
when we're down. Hey, I
get it, Sky's falling radio.

383
00:28:37.960 --> 00:28:41.319
They love to do it. There's
some callers that only call when they're down.

384
00:28:41.880 --> 00:28:45.319
But I ain't gonna mention Sean and
Inglewood tonight, Glenn and Hemmett Glenn,

385
00:28:45.400 --> 00:28:49.000
what's up here on clippers stock with
au Amazen? Hey, Adam,

386
00:28:49.119 --> 00:28:53.240
thanks for taking my call. I
want to talk to you about a couple

387
00:28:53.279 --> 00:28:59.480
of things. Russia Westbrook. Actually
you have to go back to when news

388
00:28:59.559 --> 00:29:03.640
with a Lake. Here's as far
as being a sixth man, because when

389
00:29:03.680 --> 00:29:07.680
he was with him, he was
better someone off the bench, and he

390
00:29:07.920 --> 00:29:14.920
was playing as a starter. Another
thing is, since tomorrow's a another back

391
00:29:14.960 --> 00:29:21.200
to back, did they rust any
of the starters tonight to I'll set the

392
00:29:22.279 --> 00:29:26.000
extra time tomorrow? They had to
chase this victory. Paul George ended up

393
00:29:26.000 --> 00:29:30.640
playing forty minutes. Kawhi Learn thirty
seven, Big Zoo thirty, James Harden

394
00:29:30.720 --> 00:29:34.599
thirty nine, Terrence Man thirty one. Not worried about Terrence Man and Big

395
00:29:34.759 --> 00:29:41.039
Zoo necessarily there there's the two youngest
guys in the starting lineup. But yeah,

396
00:29:41.079 --> 00:29:45.440
there's gonna be tired lakes tomorrow.
We'll see who's available. My guess

397
00:29:45.400 --> 00:29:48.880
Bones Hiland gets some run. We
don't know the status of Norman Powell,

398
00:29:49.480 --> 00:29:53.799
who left as he got rolled up
on by Harrison Barnes with what looked like

399
00:29:55.200 --> 00:29:56.880
some type of right knee injury.
Now he did, he was able to

400
00:29:56.960 --> 00:30:02.039
walk to the locker room himself.
But if he's out for any extended amount

401
00:30:02.039 --> 00:30:06.039
of time, I think it's time
for Bones Highland to rise up and get

402
00:30:06.079 --> 00:30:10.359
back into the rotation like he was
earlier this season. How about that,

403
00:30:10.440 --> 00:30:15.720
Glenn, Yeah, yeah, okay, what was your first question, Glenn,

404
00:30:17.359 --> 00:30:25.279
Oh about Russia Westbrook being a sixth
man. I thought he was more

405
00:30:25.680 --> 00:30:29.200
of the sixth man when he was
with the Lakers. Well, you know

406
00:30:29.279 --> 00:30:33.119
why, because you can't play him
next to Lebron James two ball dominant guys

407
00:30:33.720 --> 00:30:37.039
like that. Like with the Clippers, you can't play him next to James

408
00:30:37.079 --> 00:30:41.319
Harden, who's just the better player. It doesn't make sense. Now,

409
00:30:41.519 --> 00:30:45.559
they've still got a lot of time
out there on the court and they've been

410
00:30:45.599 --> 00:30:49.519
averaging about ten minutes. Even with
Russ out of the starting lineup, they've

411
00:30:49.559 --> 00:30:53.079
been averaging about ten minutes per game
where they're sharing the court. Some of

412
00:30:53.160 --> 00:31:00.359
that's to be expected because unless you
know James Harden's playing thirty two minutes,

413
00:31:00.799 --> 00:31:04.680
then was that leave Russ if you're
gonna completely split them up sixteen minutes per

414
00:31:04.720 --> 00:31:08.720
game? Russ ended up at nineteen
tonight. I didn't think he had a

415
00:31:08.759 --> 00:31:12.119
great game. You had a dunk
in the second quarter, but a bad

416
00:31:12.200 --> 00:31:17.319
air ball on a three. Uh. He did have some nice feats to

417
00:31:17.480 --> 00:31:21.519
eat the Zubats getting him going in
the third quarter, but I mentioned that

418
00:31:21.599 --> 00:31:26.160
turnover he had at the end of
the third. He and James Harden had

419
00:31:26.200 --> 00:31:32.119
some bad ones. Did rock the
baby against Kevin Herder late. I just

420
00:31:32.160 --> 00:31:34.599
didn't think it was a great game
from Russ. Took a couple of ill

421
00:31:34.599 --> 00:31:40.440
advised shots. Just he's got to
get to the basket because he's still so

422
00:31:40.640 --> 00:31:44.279
explosive and so athletic, and the
Clippers need some of that. But the

423
00:31:44.400 --> 00:31:48.839
jumpers, they just have guys who
are much better shooters playing simple. Clippers

424
00:31:48.880 --> 00:31:52.799
win one thirty one and one seventeen
over the Kings, quick time out.

425
00:31:52.839 --> 00:31:55.640
We'll come back. We'll get to
your phone calls. Yeah, they're calling

426
00:31:55.680 --> 00:32:00.519
it tonight eight six six nine eight
seven two five seventy Roman Tageous, Daniel

I'm Meta Moslins and you're listening to clipperstock

with them to the into It Dawn
more LA Clippers Basketball on the LA Clippers

430

as. They took down the Kings tonight

431
00:32:21.680 --> 00:32:25.160
in Sacramento one thirty one to one
seventeen. Tomorrow they'll be in San Francisco

432
00:32:25.359 --> 00:32:30.640
facing the Golden State Warriors, who
are in a similar position as your Los

433
00:32:30.680 --> 00:32:37.559
Angeles Clippers. They've been struggling.
They've underperformed so far this season. Some

434
00:32:37.759 --> 00:32:40.519
are saying Klay Thompson doesn't look right
now. CP three is injured, Gary

435
00:32:40.559 --> 00:32:45.839
Payton the second is out as well. They're facing their own adversity, not

436
00:32:45.039 --> 00:32:51.039
just the Clippers, but tonight Clippers
pass the test with flying colors in terms

437
00:32:51.079 --> 00:32:54.599
of a big bounce back performance.
In fact, they've had their two best

438
00:32:54.720 --> 00:33:05.359
victories with a really bad law sandwich
in between holding Dallas to eighty eight Saturday

439
00:33:06.680 --> 00:33:10.640
was incredible. Tonight against Sacramento,
one of the best teams in the Western

440
00:33:10.680 --> 00:33:15.400
Conference. The Clippers showed up and
looked like at times they were running them

441
00:33:15.440 --> 00:33:21.359
off the floor. Can't tell you
enough how good Terrence Man is to see

442
00:33:21.440 --> 00:33:25.000
back in the starting lineup, just
and I think his game. He's twenty

443
00:33:25.079 --> 00:33:30.160
seven, He's still getting better.
He played some great defense running through screens

444
00:33:30.200 --> 00:33:32.599
against Aaron Fox. I saw for
a few different possessions. Now Fox still

445
00:33:32.640 --> 00:33:37.559
at forty. He's amazing, but
you can live with that when you're shutting

446
00:33:37.640 --> 00:33:39.200
down some of the others. But
the fade away he had in the second

447
00:33:39.279 --> 00:33:44.720
quarter, Terrence Man a jumper in
the third and then a late and one

448
00:33:45.480 --> 00:33:50.599
energy plays, hustle plays he let
out a scream afterwards in the fourth helped

449
00:33:50.640 --> 00:33:53.519
the Clippers run through the tape because
against Sacramento, you just don't know.

450
00:33:54.960 --> 00:34:01.960
They start knocking down threes relentlessly.
At times, you just can't stop them.

451
00:34:02.000 --> 00:34:06.160
You can't slow them down. They're
to one of the toughest offenses to

452
00:34:06.319 --> 00:34:09.559
defend. They were the best offense
in the league last season and they're ten

453
00:34:09.639 --> 00:34:15.920
and six now it's ten seven Clippers
seven, make it eight and nine now

454
00:34:15.199 --> 00:34:19.159
on the season. They can get
back to five hundred with the victory tomorrow.

455
00:34:19.800 --> 00:34:22.719
Welcome back into Clippers talk. I'm
Adam Moslin to eight sixty six nine

456
00:34:22.760 --> 00:34:25.920
eight seven two five seventy eight six
six nine eight seven two five seventy.

457
00:34:27.519 --> 00:34:34.159
Biggest takeaway aside from the win,
well two things. Harden showing up like

458
00:34:34.239 --> 00:34:38.360
that in the first quarter, just
going nuclear and James Harden excuse me,

459
00:34:38.480 --> 00:34:43.360
Kawhi Leonard still looking that quick.
James Harden as well. Both of them

460
00:34:43.400 --> 00:34:50.639
had some blowbys that is encouraging.
I told you earlier I was looking at

461
00:34:50.719 --> 00:34:54.960
old san Antonio footage with Kawhi in
the Zaza Peculia game, Game one of

462
00:34:55.000 --> 00:35:00.079
the Western Conference Finals against the Golden
State Warriors back in twenty seventeen. For

463
00:35:00.239 --> 00:35:05.480
Zaza had that dirty play and then
Kawhi wasn't just the ankle then was the

464
00:35:05.559 --> 00:35:08.840
thigh acl with the Clippers all that
stuff coming to his right leg afterwards.

465
00:35:09.639 --> 00:35:14.559
But the lift I saw in that
game from san Antonio very similar on his

466
00:35:14.639 --> 00:35:21.679
jump shot to what he's getting off
the ground with today. Some really explosive

467
00:35:21.719 --> 00:35:25.360
plays from Kawhi. That reverse he
had, Oh my goodness, and then

468
00:35:25.400 --> 00:35:31.360
the block on Trey Lyles d he
was only credited with two. I counted

469
00:35:31.440 --> 00:35:38.119
three. He got Monk Fox and
Trey Lyles with that big three pointer coming

470
00:35:38.199 --> 00:35:42.159
into the fourth quarter where I think
he went three for three from the field,

471
00:35:42.800 --> 00:35:45.559
as he had been struggling later in
games. I don't know if he

472
00:35:45.639 --> 00:35:47.639
knew that. I don't know if
he knew needed to respond or knew he

473
00:35:47.719 --> 00:35:52.239
needed to I'm sure you know is
Kawhi Lenard. He's not on social media,

474
00:35:52.639 --> 00:35:57.199
he's not hearing the noise. But
that three to put him back up

475
00:35:57.239 --> 00:36:00.639
by sixteen was probably the biggest shot
of the game. Then he hit turnaround

476
00:36:00.719 --> 00:36:04.719
than a push shot three level score. And I believe you went three for

477
00:36:04.800 --> 00:36:08.920
three in that fourth quarter, duncan
Zavaille McGee is gonna be the biggest highlight.

478
00:36:09.039 --> 00:36:14.079
I like the reverse more so than
anything, to be honest. All

479
00:36:14.159 --> 00:36:16.239
right, Roman in Santa Clarita,
you're on Clipper sack without a Mason.

480
00:36:16.280 --> 00:36:20.280
What's up? How you doing,
Adam? It's good to be back on

481
00:36:20.400 --> 00:36:22.800
here. Like I said, lifetime
Lakers fan, I was gonna call last

482
00:36:22.840 --> 00:36:25.840
week, but I know everybody was
down on the Clippers last week I should

483
00:36:25.840 --> 00:36:30.519
have I should have chimed in,
but uh, I'm you know, I'm

484
00:36:30.519 --> 00:36:32.000
glad you got all these calls on
the win, but we've got to have

485
00:36:32.079 --> 00:36:37.239
some of that positivity on the losses
too and come in and support these these

486
00:36:37.280 --> 00:36:40.000
Clippers that are going through a transition
period. I think a couple of weeks

487
00:36:40.039 --> 00:36:45.880
ago we talked about this exact starting
lineup that needed to be in at the

488
00:36:45.000 --> 00:36:47.599
end of games and show up at
again. A couple of weeks ago,

489
00:36:47.760 --> 00:36:52.960
I was talking about this back in
July when the when the James Harden rumors

490
00:36:52.000 --> 00:36:54.719
were out there, I said,
great, put them in the back court

491
00:36:54.800 --> 00:36:59.800
next to Terrace Man and you got
something special. And that was the key.

492
00:36:59.840 --> 00:37:02.239
We we both said Terrence Man needed
to be in there and needed to

493
00:37:02.280 --> 00:37:07.079
show up. And tonight, I
think, you know, let's forget about

494
00:37:07.079 --> 00:37:12.599
the loss against against Denver. Let's
forget about that loss. It's sandwich between

495
00:37:12.599 --> 00:37:15.280
They're probably the two best wins of
the season, and I think this game

496
00:37:15.360 --> 00:37:21.920
right here more important than tomorrow's game. This game was a rebound game and

497
00:37:22.039 --> 00:37:25.800
we needed to see how they responded, and they responded, whether it was

498
00:37:25.960 --> 00:37:30.840
James Harden taking over that first quarter
and getting everybody sparked up and Kawhi Leonard

499
00:37:30.159 --> 00:37:35.280
taking his shots. I agree with
you. I think Kawhi Leonard is out

500
00:37:35.320 --> 00:37:37.039
of his flunk and he shot hisself
right out of it in the last few

501
00:37:37.119 --> 00:37:45.960
games. I did like what you
said them rotating maybe Bones Highland in for

502
00:37:45.079 --> 00:37:49.599
this next game, because Norm Powell
looked like he was he was He's probably

503
00:37:49.599 --> 00:37:52.159
not going to play the next game. But Bones Highland I think can bring

504
00:37:52.280 --> 00:37:55.519
that energy on that second unit or
give somebody some rest and absolutely play the

505
00:37:55.599 --> 00:38:00.599
defense that you guys need against a
goal in state. With some older players

506
00:38:00.679 --> 00:38:05.199
and less quick we can we can
hold lay Thompson with his twenty shots a

507
00:38:05.239 --> 00:38:08.920
game that he takes to make maybe
eight of them. But I think today

508
00:38:08.960 --> 00:38:13.440
we've seen what the Clippers could be. We said they had the ability to

509
00:38:13.519 --> 00:38:16.639
be the most dangerous team in the
West if they put it together, and

510
00:38:16.760 --> 00:38:22.360
I think they might have beat what's
close close to one of the best teams

511
00:38:22.400 --> 00:38:27.199
in the West, Sacramento Kings.
Yeah. I appreciate the phone call.

512
00:38:27.760 --> 00:38:30.440
Roman, my favorite Laker fan.
You know it. You know what,

513
00:38:30.559 --> 00:38:35.719
my friend, You're the best.
But I'm loving watching these Clippers. That's

514
00:38:35.719 --> 00:38:39.000
why you're my favorite Laker fans because
you like washing the Clippers. What else

515
00:38:39.039 --> 00:38:42.559
needs to be said? We'll talk
to you together, all right, Raman,

516
00:38:42.639 --> 00:38:46.239
all right, thank you. So
one of the quotes coming out from

517
00:38:46.280 --> 00:38:52.199
shoot around earlier today from Coach Lou
and I've cited a few of them,

518
00:38:52.039 --> 00:38:58.159
but it's basically something I've been talking
about. When they brought in James Harden,

519
00:38:58.199 --> 00:39:01.440
one of my concerns was, Okay, how do you balance things?

520
00:39:02.239 --> 00:39:08.880
How do you keep guys in rhythm? How do you keep everyone involved so

521
00:39:09.000 --> 00:39:13.119
when their time comes, the timing
is there, the rhythm is there,

522
00:39:13.800 --> 00:39:22.159
the shots fall. He said this
earlier today, quote Coach Lou. One

523
00:39:22.199 --> 00:39:24.360
thing about Harden, he can generate
good shots. Every time we pick and

524
00:39:24.519 --> 00:39:29.880
roll, you pick and roll sixty
times, we probably get fifty five great

525
00:39:29.920 --> 00:39:34.480
shots. So it's a fine line
about keeping other guys in the rhythm but

526
00:39:34.679 --> 00:39:37.480
also letting him be able to play
pick and rolls and make plays as well.

527
00:39:39.800 --> 00:39:43.599
And I said, look, this
is the balancing act they haven't been

528
00:39:43.599 --> 00:39:49.880
able to figure out so far,
but also it shows the real high level

529
00:39:49.960 --> 00:39:54.760
potential of this team if they can
figure it out. They've had a couple

530
00:39:54.800 --> 00:40:00.599
of games recently that have been very
very much on the positive side and have

531
00:40:00.800 --> 00:40:05.480
me looking optimistic about what they can
do with this starting lineup. And all

532
00:40:05.519 --> 00:40:09.880
the numbers are great, all the
advanced numbers, the same stuff the coaches

533
00:40:10.000 --> 00:40:14.960
and the front office look at to
help make some of these tough decisions.

534
00:40:15.719 --> 00:40:20.960
This new starting lineup, they're performing. They didn't lose that game Monday night

535
00:40:21.320 --> 00:40:24.840
because of the starting lineup. They
won their minutes by two. There was

536
00:40:24.920 --> 00:40:28.360
some of the other lineups out there. I wanted them to go back to

537
00:40:28.400 --> 00:40:34.559
the starting lineup late. They didn't, So it's not easy. Coach lou

538
00:40:35.079 --> 00:40:38.000
has admitted to this being his toughest
coaching job, said it to Chris Haynes,

539
00:40:39.280 --> 00:40:45.519
one of the best NBA insiders.
But it's striking that balance, and

540
00:40:45.679 --> 00:40:47.840
it's always been like this with superstars. If you want to win at the

541
00:40:47.920 --> 00:40:53.960
highest level. MJ was able to
balance when to take over and when to

542
00:40:54.039 --> 00:41:00.360
get others involved, maybe better than
anyone. Lebron does it too. Kawhi

543
00:41:00.519 --> 00:41:06.000
is very good at playing the team
basketball game two. That's what it takes.

544
00:41:07.320 --> 00:41:09.280
James Harden, He's used to the
ball in his hands a lot,

545
00:41:10.840 --> 00:41:15.039
but for the most part in his
career it has worked. It's a new

546
00:41:15.119 --> 00:41:20.000
situation though now playing next to someone
like Kawhi and Paul George, it's similar

547
00:41:20.039 --> 00:41:24.880
to Brooklyn, but they're all a
little bit older. Gotta admit that James

548
00:41:24.960 --> 00:41:30.360
Harden did have a major hamstring issue
there. I don't think he has the

549
00:41:30.480 --> 00:41:34.159
exact same step that he had then
of getting by guys. I think he

550
00:41:34.320 --> 00:41:40.239
has enough, and we saw some
of that tonight early often, and then

551
00:41:40.280 --> 00:41:45.320
there was a point where he didn't
take a shot from the three seventeen mark

552
00:41:45.440 --> 00:41:49.360
till he was fouled and went to
the line after he attacked the basket late

553
00:41:49.400 --> 00:41:52.519
in the fourth quarter. So look, as much as there was progress with

554
00:41:52.599 --> 00:41:58.079
the way he came out of the
gates, he still then kind of got

555
00:41:58.159 --> 00:42:02.159
passive for too long. I think
I need to stay involved with taking shots,

556
00:42:02.639 --> 00:42:07.360
not just deferring, making sure everybody
else is in rhythm. He's got

557
00:42:07.440 --> 00:42:12.519
to stay in rhythm because you know, one feeds the other. He's scoring

558
00:42:12.599 --> 00:42:16.320
well, makes this passing more dangerous
because they're gonna throw two guys at him.

559
00:42:17.440 --> 00:42:22.440
You're gotta find the open man.
He's passing well, well, then

560
00:42:22.480 --> 00:42:29.760
he's gonna be more open for looks
himself. Those two things have this symbiotic

561
00:42:29.840 --> 00:42:34.559
relationship and that's why he's so dangerous
on the offensive end. You don't know

562
00:42:34.679 --> 00:42:38.320
what he's going to do. Uh, Lenny and Inglewood. Lenny was good,

563
00:42:39.400 --> 00:42:44.039
Adam, what's up? First?
Of all? Good stuff? You

564
00:42:44.119 --> 00:42:52.559
said, JaVale McGee knows that hey
like the bleeping beam? Yeah right,

565
00:42:53.280 --> 00:42:58.400
But you know, man, a
roller coaster with these guys. Man,

566
00:42:58.679 --> 00:43:02.639
I was so desponding at the Monday's
loss. I just couldn't believe that.

567
00:43:04.320 --> 00:43:07.360
But you know that one guy said, forget about Monday's loss. Wrong,

568
00:43:08.000 --> 00:43:14.119
You don't forget about that. I
hope TYLERU uses that like when you were

569
00:43:14.239 --> 00:43:17.719
younger and you got a bad grade
in the class that you knew that you

570
00:43:17.760 --> 00:43:21.320
could have gotten better and your parents
will never let you forget about it,

571
00:43:21.360 --> 00:43:23.920
and it just drove you to,
you know, do better every time you

572
00:43:24.000 --> 00:43:28.159
know you stepped up? Or are
you talking about my incident with the BB

573
00:43:28.239 --> 00:43:32.000
gun at thirteen? Oh? Sorry, yeah, exactly exactly. But it's

574
00:43:32.119 --> 00:43:36.000
like you use that, man,
I don't care. I don't think you

575
00:43:37.039 --> 00:43:38.960
you forget about that because you don't
want to fall back into those habits.

576
00:43:39.559 --> 00:43:47.800
They you know, they're older team
and you know Harden is pretty much going

577
00:43:47.840 --> 00:43:51.519
to have to meet to me what
I see and you were right, you

578
00:43:51.559 --> 00:43:53.079
were I remember you did call that
early on. I felt that too,

579
00:43:53.559 --> 00:43:58.320
because he's gonna have to get almost
eighty percent of his points in the first

580
00:43:58.400 --> 00:44:01.719
half. To me and in sect
because what they tend to have problems in

581
00:44:01.760 --> 00:44:06.159
that fourth quarter, and in that
fourth quarter, he just needs to run

582
00:44:06.519 --> 00:44:09.599
the offense. Yes, get them
files like he does, but make sure

583
00:44:09.679 --> 00:44:15.400
every get get that distribution and run
that run that thing man, Lenny,

584
00:44:15.519 --> 00:44:19.880
Lenny. Everybody has been complaining about
the Clippers late game offense. This goes

585
00:44:20.000 --> 00:44:23.000
back years from the beginning of two
pine three and they've had their struggles at

586
00:44:23.079 --> 00:44:28.079
times in the regular season for the
most part, though on the postseason they've

587
00:44:28.199 --> 00:44:32.079
executed and they've found that magic potion. But what I will say is if

588
00:44:32.119 --> 00:44:37.760
you want to get away from ISO
ball and being too predictable, run pick

589
00:44:37.840 --> 00:44:40.280
and roll with James Harden. That's
how they got that victory over Houston.

590
00:44:40.320 --> 00:44:44.840
They went on a twelve to one
run to end that ball game because they

591
00:44:44.920 --> 00:44:49.639
had a system, a foundation to
fall back on. Boom there it is

592
00:44:49.800 --> 00:44:53.119
right there, and that's what they
They need somebody to dedicate and that's his

593
00:44:53.320 --> 00:44:59.039
job, man, run that thing
in the fourth quarter. Get and here's

594
00:44:59.079 --> 00:45:01.920
the deal, most of your points
and that first half come out aggressive.

595
00:45:02.400 --> 00:45:06.800
We all know Kawhi is the closer. Kawhi is gonna be there, gonna

596
00:45:06.800 --> 00:45:09.920
be and and Paul George is all
throughout. So you know, but and

597
00:45:10.039 --> 00:45:15.039
then I love the energy that Westbrook
is bringing. But you know you got

598
00:45:15.119 --> 00:45:17.920
to keep them guys on the opposite
side of the classroom because together, like

599
00:45:19.000 --> 00:45:22.719
you said, it just does not
work. So the Westbrook got that energy,

600
00:45:23.199 --> 00:45:27.639
he's got that defense, he's got
and as long as I think,

601
00:45:27.760 --> 00:45:31.440
as long as he focuses, like
you said, getting his pain, getting

602
00:45:31.480 --> 00:45:36.480
his points in the paint, because
he's quicker, he's got explosiveness, and

603
00:45:36.599 --> 00:45:38.960
he can he can get to put
back. That's his thing, man,

604
00:45:39.800 --> 00:45:45.400
he can. He can easily average
thirteen to fourteen points of game, damn

605
00:45:45.400 --> 00:45:47.719
near in the second half, just
points in the paint. And you know

606
00:45:49.000 --> 00:45:52.920
that that that keeps everything going.
So you know, like people been saying,

607
00:45:52.920 --> 00:45:57.559
it's gonna take him in to workout, I was read I couldn't believe

608
00:45:57.599 --> 00:46:00.800
that that. I just couldn't believe
Monday's loss. But you know it was

609
00:46:00.880 --> 00:46:05.559
effort. They didn't show up.
They thought they could just lolly gagged their

610
00:46:05.599 --> 00:46:09.079
way to a victory because Denver was
down their three best players and Michael Porter's

611
00:46:09.159 --> 00:46:14.800
junior went three of thirteen. Yeah
it was. It was and for DeAndre

612
00:46:14.960 --> 00:46:21.000
Jordan and Reddy Jackson and Strong that
that was just anyway. But I think

613
00:46:22.480 --> 00:46:27.039
they got something. And they like, like we're saying, Harden's got it.

614
00:46:27.159 --> 00:46:29.320
He just got a key. Just
gotta come out firing. Got to

615
00:46:29.360 --> 00:46:31.679
come out firing and be aggressive and
get the majority of his points in that

616
00:46:31.760 --> 00:46:36.159
first half and run that thing in
the second and then you know he's he's

617
00:46:36.239 --> 00:46:37.960
excellent to getting to the free throw
line. So they they got it.

618
00:46:38.079 --> 00:46:42.039
Man, that's the one thing I
remember last year. I know you like

619
00:46:42.159 --> 00:46:45.199
the metric, but that's the one
thing I get that kid Austin Reeves credit

620
00:46:45.280 --> 00:46:47.039
for. That's what he did when
the Lakers. He got the majority of

621
00:46:47.079 --> 00:46:50.000
his points in the first half.
The second half, he ran it.

622
00:46:50.199 --> 00:46:52.760
And that's what that's what the that's
what the Clippers need because they need to

623
00:46:52.880 --> 00:46:58.400
keep that thing moving, the ball
moving, because they gets stagnant for the

624
00:46:58.519 --> 00:47:00.920
last couple of years. We know
gets and he got to run that thing

625
00:47:01.000 --> 00:47:05.119
in the fourth quarter man, and
they'll they'll be you know, they'll be

626
00:47:05.199 --> 00:47:07.840
okay. But one last question,
So what happens when when when Plumbley comes

627
00:47:07.920 --> 00:47:13.800
back? Because selist Man is nice. I can't even say to this,

628
00:47:13.920 --> 00:47:15.960
but I love the way he moves, He's tough, he takes a three

629
00:47:16.000 --> 00:47:19.320
point shot. So what happens?
You know what? You know what My

630
00:47:19.480 --> 00:47:23.719
favorite thing is he can test everything
at the basket. He makes you earn

631
00:47:23.800 --> 00:47:29.760
it. No, no, okay. Daniel Tice Tye is a more instinctual

632
00:47:29.920 --> 00:47:35.159
better defender. Plumbley's just the bigger
body. The hope is that Daniel Tye

633
00:47:35.239 --> 00:47:37.960
can be enough of a threat with
his shot that he could maybe play the

634
00:47:38.039 --> 00:47:43.159
four next to Plumbley at the five. That's my hope. So far,

635
00:47:43.239 --> 00:47:45.719
we haven't seen enough of that.
I think he's only hit one three as

636
00:47:45.760 --> 00:47:47.400
a Clipper so far, didn't attempt
one. Tonight he was just two of

637
00:47:47.559 --> 00:47:53.480
five. But I typically like his
minutes because he's that change of pace defender

638
00:47:53.599 --> 00:47:59.159
where he's just so physical out there
and he's a very good connector on offense.

639
00:47:59.480 --> 00:48:02.159
He can run. He wrote,
I love how he rolls some cup,

640
00:48:02.239 --> 00:48:06.039
loves his feet, plays that deep. How tall is he six'

641
00:48:06.119 --> 00:48:08.719
ten, six' eight. He
plays bigger, he's on six eight.

642
00:48:08.840 --> 00:48:13.599
Yeah, he does play bigger.
Okay, I thought he's a little bigger

643
00:48:13.639 --> 00:48:15.599
than that. Okay, damn,
I mean he's the center, okay,

644
00:48:15.679 --> 00:48:17.880
cool, Yeah, okay, so
yeah, Plum leaves the bigger body.

645
00:48:17.880 --> 00:48:21.159
So yeah, they got it,
they they okay. Yeah, but uh,

646
00:48:21.239 --> 00:48:23.679
I love I love I still love
Tyson, and I love your idea

647
00:48:23.719 --> 00:48:28.400
about hopefully that if Norman Powell has
to slide out, we get we get

648
00:48:28.440 --> 00:48:34.719
bones in there and he can bring
that energy because Golden State is not optimal

649
00:48:34.840 --> 00:48:37.639
right now, and we there's no
reason why we can't go in there and

650
00:48:37.719 --> 00:48:39.440
get that one too. You know
what though, and I appreciate the phone

651
00:48:39.480 --> 00:48:44.920
call Leuddy. Golden State is as
desperate for a victory as the Clippers work

652
00:48:45.000 --> 00:48:47.880
tonight. They're gonna be tough tomorrow
because they blew a game. They were

653
00:48:47.960 --> 00:48:52.559
up by twenty five on the Kings
yesterday, I think eighteen entering the fourth

654
00:48:52.679 --> 00:48:58.159
quarter, and that has kind of
turned into a Norcow rivalry after that first

655
00:48:58.239 --> 00:49:04.280
round matchup last season. So Golden
State is going to be focused. They're

656
00:49:04.280 --> 00:49:07.960
gonna want to win this one bad
more on that coming up. Back to

657
00:49:07.000 --> 00:49:10.159
your phone calls as well. Eight

five seventy is the phone number and big

659
00:49:15.960 --> 00:49:21.519
will Updyke will join us from clips
and dip. Clippers get a big first

660
00:49:21.599 --> 00:49:25.239
quarter seventeen points from James Harden and
just rolled from there. They go on

661
00:49:25.320 --> 00:49:30.679
to win one thirty one to one
seventeen over the Sacramento Kings of in NorCal.

662
00:49:30.679 --> 00:49:34.679
I'm Adam Allison, and you're listening
to a five seventy LA Sports.

663
00:49:35.320 --> 00:49:38.199
They want to bring a banner with
them to the into it down more LA

664
00:49:38.360 --> 00:49:46.199
Clippers basketball on the LA Clippers Audio
Network. Clippers get a big victory.

665
00:49:46.199 --> 00:49:52.639
They win by fourteen up in NorCal
over the Sacramento king Sorry, I was

666
00:49:52.760 --> 00:49:57.679
busy pulling up the new advanced numbers
on this Clippers starting lineup now seven games

667
00:49:57.760 --> 00:50:02.800
in with Terrence Man in the back
court next to James Harden. Oh it

668
00:50:02.920 --> 00:50:08.679
looks good. It looks so good. Their offensive rating that was one eighteen

669
00:50:09.280 --> 00:50:15.159
is now almost up to one twenty
three after tonight's big victory where the starters

670
00:50:15.239 --> 00:50:22.320
played much heavier minutes and everything seemed
to be working for the Clippers as James

671
00:50:22.400 --> 00:50:28.039
Harden got off to that quick start, seventeen points in the first quarter,

672
00:50:28.559 --> 00:50:32.480
finish with just twenty six. That's
all right. He took fourteen shots.

673
00:50:32.599 --> 00:50:37.079
He had taken no more than eight
in his last four games. He had

674
00:50:37.159 --> 00:50:42.840
more points midway through the first quarter
than he had all of Monday night with

675
00:50:43.159 --> 00:50:46.679
just eleven. Unbelievable. Welcome back
in the Clippers stock. I'm Adam Moslin.

676
00:50:46.760 --> 00:50:51.079
Eight sixty six nine eight seven two
five seventy eight six six nine eight

677
00:50:51.159 --> 00:50:55.679
seven two five seventy is the phone
number. Clippers new starting lineup in seven

678
00:50:55.800 --> 00:51:05.360
games so far are shooting fifty three
percent from the floor, and now instead

679
00:51:05.360 --> 00:51:09.159
of shooting thirty seven percent from three, they're almost at forty two percent from

680
00:51:09.199 --> 00:51:14.400
the outside. Harden, Paul,
George Kawhi, Leonard Avitzu Zubats, Terrence

681
00:51:14.480 --> 00:51:19.880
Man. Please please tell me why
they should have kept Russell Westbrook next to

682
00:51:20.079 --> 00:51:23.119
James Harden in the starting backcourt.
Tell me why that works so well.

683
00:51:23.880 --> 00:51:31.079
Try to find a reason, because
I can't. This is the way Rinse

684
00:51:31.480 --> 00:51:38.719
repeat play these guys more and tonight
they played a lot more minutes, and

685
00:51:38.800 --> 00:51:45.760
their minutes per game went up from
sixteen to almost eighteen after just one game

686
00:51:45.960 --> 00:51:50.800
because they played heavier minutes in the
first half and in the second half.

687
00:51:50.880 --> 00:51:52.519
Unfortunately, they had to play more
in the fourth quarter just to make sure

688
00:51:52.559 --> 00:51:59.239
to get this victory. But I
don't believe Sacramento got closer than thirteen in

689
00:51:59.320 --> 00:52:01.960
the fourth Tagus in Walnut. You're
on Clipper stock with that, Amaza,

690
00:52:02.000 --> 00:52:07.719
what's up? Yeah, they did
get closer to thirteen. When they got

691
00:52:07.760 --> 00:52:12.280
to thirteen, they call it timeout. And Kawi came back in avery three.

692
00:52:13.480 --> 00:52:15.800
And you know, when I watched
the game today, I was thinking,

693
00:52:15.920 --> 00:52:21.320
we're seeing playoff Kawhi, and today's
performance reminded me of Game six at

694
00:52:21.400 --> 00:52:24.880
Dallas when he dropped forty five.
He had that little bounce. He had

695
00:52:24.920 --> 00:52:29.519
it from the inside, the outside, the mid range. That is the

696
00:52:29.760 --> 00:52:35.920
greatest, one of the greatest playoff
performances I've ever seen. It's definitely the

697
00:52:36.000 --> 00:52:40.559
best by a Clipper. Game six, must win game in Dallas. The

698
00:52:40.679 --> 00:52:47.480
crowd was back in the arena as
the COVID restrictions were lifted. The Clippers

699
00:52:47.519 --> 00:52:52.719
were facing all the pressure of getting
bounced in the first round, and Kawhi

700
00:52:52.920 --> 00:52:58.960
showed up with forty five and outdueled
Luca and he could have easily got forty

701
00:52:59.039 --> 00:53:02.440
five today. He had going.
But it's good that everyone got involved.

702
00:53:04.199 --> 00:53:08.519
You saw Big Zoo kind of miss
Chippies in the first half, and he

703
00:53:08.719 --> 00:53:14.280
dominated that third quarter. And the
Clippers play smart. They they when they

704
00:53:14.360 --> 00:53:17.719
played small, they fed Big Zoo
and he finished. He was finishing at

705
00:53:17.840 --> 00:53:22.119
ease, and he even had that
dunk. Reminded me of check dunking on

706
00:53:22.159 --> 00:53:28.159
a small man. And uh,
we saw Terrence Man cut and with the

707
00:53:28.239 --> 00:53:31.000
purpose not looking the pass and looking
the score, and that's what we need

708
00:53:31.559 --> 00:53:37.119
when when they're doing that, and
it just makes everyone's life a lot easier.

709
00:53:37.239 --> 00:53:42.039
Hard in PG Kawhi because I mean, the defense is on case.

710
00:53:42.079 --> 00:53:45.039
They don't know who to guard,
and this is what kind of what we've

711
00:53:45.079 --> 00:53:49.199
been wanting to see, and I
think what Tylu has been preaching. So

712
00:53:50.000 --> 00:53:52.880
it was good that, you know, team men had that attitude, not

713
00:53:52.079 --> 00:53:57.280
just James Harden, So that was
good. I just had two questions for

714
00:53:57.400 --> 00:54:04.360
you. One were you were you
surprised that Kobe Brown got the came off

715
00:54:04.400 --> 00:54:08.599
the bench before a mere coffee a
little bit, But I think it's just

716
00:54:08.719 --> 00:54:13.280
because he's a bigger player, and
coach Lou was looking for more size.

717
00:54:13.320 --> 00:54:16.079
They still don't have Mason Plumbley.
Obviously, I would love for a Mere

718
00:54:16.119 --> 00:54:20.679
to get more minutes. I'm in
the Mirror fan club. I'm right behind

719
00:54:20.719 --> 00:54:25.719
Brian Seeman with his folder soldier stuff
and coffee is for closers. Some of

720
00:54:25.760 --> 00:54:31.559
the best calls ever. I love
a mir I think he'll have opportunities because

721
00:54:31.599 --> 00:54:36.760
the Clippers schedule is so condensed with
how many games, and hey, maybe

722
00:54:36.800 --> 00:54:40.280
we'll see him tomorrow. You never
know, right, And then, what

723
00:54:40.440 --> 00:54:45.639
did you think about the defense on
Fox and especially in that fourth quarter?

724
00:54:45.760 --> 00:54:50.719
Did you think that they were just
letting him drive and trying to prevent them

725
00:54:50.920 --> 00:54:55.039
from kidding because they had a big
lead. Yeah, I think a little

726
00:54:55.119 --> 00:54:58.960
bit. You know, against Luca, they would do this at times where

727
00:54:59.000 --> 00:55:01.280
okay, you can get you,
but we're not gonna let everybody else get

728
00:55:01.320 --> 00:55:06.960
involved too. And you know,
Fox had forty coming off the game last

729
00:55:07.039 --> 00:55:09.000
night, a big emotional victory they
had over the Golden State Warriors, and

730
00:55:09.079 --> 00:55:14.000
that comeback. He's impressive as hell. I still couldn't believe the Kings got

731
00:55:14.119 --> 00:55:15.920
him at pick five. I thought
I said it at the time. I

732
00:55:15.960 --> 00:55:20.599
could retweet some of my own receipts
here. But when the Lakers took Lonzo

733
00:55:20.719 --> 00:55:22.840
ball, and I wish Lonzo was
playing right now. It's unfortunate all the

734
00:55:22.880 --> 00:55:25.440
injuries he had, but I always
thought to Hearon Fox was the guy.

735
00:55:29.280 --> 00:55:31.400
Yeah, that's about it, Adam, let's seef. We can keep it

736
00:55:31.480 --> 00:55:36.559
going tomorrow. Thank you, Tay. Just appreciate the phone call. Jose

737
00:55:36.719 --> 00:55:40.000
and Southgate. Jose, what's up
your on Clipper stop without Mawson. I

738
00:55:40.119 --> 00:55:43.840
want to take a ride with me. Hey, it must be the Clippers.

739
00:55:44.760 --> 00:55:47.719
I know I've been I've been waiting
to see what I saw today from

740
00:55:47.880 --> 00:55:52.840
out the gate as theyduced to everybody
getting to trying to get to their either

741
00:55:52.840 --> 00:55:57.599
trying to get to their spot or
passing it off within one, one,

742
00:55:57.719 --> 00:56:02.400
two steps, even one or half
a step. And well also if he

743
00:56:02.480 --> 00:56:08.039
were saying with the the Brown and
p J Checker comparison, I like that

744
00:56:08.199 --> 00:56:14.280
for defensively, yeah's body bosstball bossa. I like it because PJ. Teller

745
00:56:14.360 --> 00:56:19.119
has been shining away from those threes. And if you saw Brown in the

746
00:56:19.519 --> 00:56:22.440
in the preseason and and in the
sumber League, he will shoot those threes.

747
00:56:22.440 --> 00:56:24.599
And I didn't know he was shooting
that in college. That's pretty cool.

748
00:56:24.679 --> 00:56:29.320
I think that's part of what likes. He's not turning them down.

749
00:56:29.840 --> 00:56:34.159
He had that seven point game in
the summer league. To your point,

750
00:56:34.519 --> 00:56:37.159
was that and and it must be
the first name, because's why I want

751
00:56:37.199 --> 00:56:39.400
him to get in a rotation,
because how I need to get used to

752
00:56:39.440 --> 00:56:42.199
saying that. I need to get
you to say, covid. I'm not

753
00:56:42.239 --> 00:56:45.280
even gonna lie, but but I
like what I saw today. And then

754
00:56:45.639 --> 00:56:47.599
also I didn't I didn't see when
they checked when Russell west was checked in,

755
00:56:49.000 --> 00:56:51.360
but I saw when he was on
the court, and like, that's

756
00:56:51.400 --> 00:56:53.320
why he's on the second unit,
and like, and that just brought back

757
00:56:53.360 --> 00:56:59.119
to the Jamal Crawford Jamar Crawford lou
Will flashbacks, like why soon I see

758
00:56:59.159 --> 00:57:00.760
him on the court or our need
it then and that's the head of it,

759
00:57:00.920 --> 00:57:04.119
Like and now we have Russell Westbrook
at the head of it. I

760
00:57:04.199 --> 00:57:07.320
love it. Terrence Man, Terrence
Man, come on, now, I

761
00:57:07.400 --> 00:57:10.719
didn't do after normal Powell, but
you know bones most like you cann gainst

762
00:57:10.760 --> 00:57:14.679
the minutes. I was already thinking
about it's gonna be a hrking tomorrow.

763
00:57:14.719 --> 00:57:17.320
Because it's against the Warriors and they
I know they lost to the Kings.

764
00:57:17.320 --> 00:57:22.599
I didn't know they were up.
So let's let's get us double down tomorrow.

765
00:57:22.320 --> 00:57:30.519
Let's go clipperst zaying south Gate.
Great finish to the call. We'll

766
00:57:30.559 --> 00:57:35.960
come back with Will Updyke after the
Clippers win tonight, big one thirty one,

767
00:57:36.079 --> 00:57:39.119
one seventeen over the Kings up in
sack Town. Yeah, taking our

768
00:57:39.159 --> 00:57:45.719
golden state. Tomorrow, we'll preview
that with Will Updyke as we talk Clippers

769
00:57:45.800 --> 00:57:51.440
fans, back down off the ledge, not off the ledge, back down

770
00:57:52.360 --> 00:57:55.360
away from the ledge, get away
from it. This guy's not falling,

771
00:57:55.519 --> 00:58:00.480
neither of you. Clippers went by
fourteen to Mazzlin and this is Clipperstock.

772
00:58:00.519 --> 00:58:05.039
He're on a five seventy l A
Sports. They want to bring a banner

773
00:58:05.159 --> 00:58:09.719
with them to the into it don
more LA Clippers basketball on the LA Clippers

774
00:58:09.840 --> 00:58:17.119
Audio Network. Last time it was
fine on my neck. Clippers five and

775
00:58:17.199 --> 00:58:21.679
two with their new starting lineup as
they win one thirty one to one seventeen

776
00:58:21.800 --> 00:58:24.159
over the Kings up in sack Town. I'm out of Mazzlin. This is

777
00:58:24.199 --> 00:58:31.239
Clippers Stocks south West. You hear
the music and you know when the Clippers

778
00:58:31.280 --> 00:58:37.639
get a big dub, we bring
on big William Updyke post game from Clips

779
00:58:37.760 --> 00:58:44.760
and Dip CND podcast does it with
myself and Charles Mockler. Well, how

780
00:58:44.840 --> 00:58:49.840
you feeling, my friend? Feeling
much better than I was a mere day

781
00:58:49.880 --> 00:58:52.840
ago? My friend? Uh,
where there's a will, there's a win.

782
00:58:52.039 --> 00:58:55.480
You know what a difference to day
it makes? Yeah? I like

783
00:58:55.599 --> 00:59:00.840
that. So to me, it
all starts with James Harden being aggressive.

784
00:59:00.000 --> 00:59:05.519
It's that simple. He's not washed, he's not done. He just for

785
00:59:05.679 --> 00:59:08.079
whatever reason, was shying away and
being too nice out there and not trying

786
00:59:08.079 --> 00:59:12.000
to step on the other starter's toes. And tonight he comes out and has

787
00:59:12.039 --> 00:59:17.239
a seventeen point first quarter and just
absolutely knew the Sacramento Kings Clippers won that

788
00:59:17.320 --> 00:59:21.719
first quarter thirty five to twenty seven. I couldn't be more impressed with James

789
00:59:21.760 --> 00:59:25.280
Harden early on. Oh, absolutely
no. And it was it was the

790
00:59:25.440 --> 00:59:29.039
right kind of aggressiveness. You know. I was a little bit critical of

791
00:59:29.199 --> 00:59:31.199
Kawhi and the loss in Denver,
where I thought there was a little bit

792
00:59:31.239 --> 00:59:36.920
of a tunnel vision going on there. I thought that James Harden, obviously

793
00:59:36.960 --> 00:59:38.880
he was you know, active trying
to get shot, trying to get people

794
00:59:38.960 --> 00:59:43.119
involved. But it was within the
flow of the game, you know it.

795
00:59:43.559 --> 00:59:46.599
It wasn't just hucking up shots.
It wasn't terrible ISO plays. It

796
00:59:46.800 --> 00:59:52.519
really worked. It really clicked in
the way that we haven't really frankly seen

797
00:59:52.559 --> 00:59:57.480
it like fully come together outside of
say for one win. This was their

798
00:59:57.519 --> 01:00:01.000
best performance offensively, the most points
they had scored so far this season,

799
01:00:01.800 --> 01:00:06.519
and given the circumstances of what happened
Monday, You're right, there was a

800
01:00:06.599 --> 01:00:10.079
rhythm, there was a flow to
the offense. There was a method to

801
01:00:10.119 --> 01:00:16.119
the madness out there. Both Kawhi
and Paul George got eighteen shots. Loved

802
01:00:16.159 --> 01:00:21.840
that shot distribution. James Harden with
fourteen, Russ would just six off the

803
01:00:21.920 --> 01:00:25.159
bench, didn't have it from the
outside. But Terrence Man also got up

804
01:00:25.199 --> 01:00:29.320
twelve shots. All the starters were
in double digits there, and they all

805
01:00:29.440 --> 01:00:34.199
had their moments where they really shined. But Kawhi Leonard, my goodness,

806
01:00:34.639 --> 01:00:37.920
some people were concerned. I was
concerned to some degree. I said,

807
01:00:37.960 --> 01:00:43.000
I was gonna monitor it closely.
How Kawi is looking so far this season,

808
01:00:43.079 --> 01:00:46.599
had that great game against Los Angeles
Lakers, and tonight looked as good

809
01:00:46.639 --> 01:00:51.480
as ever with the bounce, the
juice. He had the explosiveness out there.

810
01:00:51.599 --> 01:00:53.119
You saw it from the get go, and it continued into the fourth

811
01:00:53.199 --> 01:00:59.800
quarter. Yeah, you know,
I haven't been on the worried about Kawhi

812
01:01:00.159 --> 01:01:01.960
train as much. I feel like
he's still been defending for the most part

813
01:01:02.000 --> 01:01:05.639
at a high level. We have
still seen some lethargy, but that's been

814
01:01:05.679 --> 01:01:08.719
across the roster. But yeah,
it's still it's still good to see that

815
01:01:08.840 --> 01:01:12.760
burst, to see that scoring,
to see him just completely take over a

816
01:01:12.840 --> 01:01:15.679
game like that. He got fouled
on a dunk early in this one,

817
01:01:15.960 --> 01:01:17.960
and I kind of thought, oh, you know, is he gonna is

818
01:01:19.039 --> 01:01:21.960
he gonna turn things down a little
bit because he didn't end up getting the

819
01:01:22.000 --> 01:01:25.400
call. I believe it was hurt
her on the foul and the absolute opposite.

820
01:01:25.440 --> 01:01:30.039
He went the opposite way with it. Yeah. I like the fact

821
01:01:30.079 --> 01:01:34.519
that, and early on the Clippers
were chirping with the officials. I didn't

822
01:01:34.599 --> 01:01:37.960
like it. It felt like more
of what happened Monday night. And then

823
01:01:38.039 --> 01:01:43.400
they finally said enough and I think
Kawhi Leonard led them. I just I

824
01:01:43.440 --> 01:01:45.639
think he went three for three in
the fourth quarter. Scored at all three

825
01:01:45.760 --> 01:01:49.920
levels. That three point rehit when
it was just a thirteen point game to

826
01:01:49.920 --> 01:01:52.519
put him up by sixteen, to
give him that cushion. But I they

827
01:01:52.960 --> 01:01:58.440
I think they needed to see this
that hey, he's still him. The

828
01:01:58.519 --> 01:02:01.480
Clippers are still loaded with talent if
they can just put it together and find

829
01:02:01.519 --> 01:02:05.719
a way. It's a tricky balancing
act, but to find a way to

830
01:02:05.800 --> 01:02:08.840
keep everyone in rhythm. Tonight,
though, the way they played with that

831
01:02:09.079 --> 01:02:15.559
pace that coach who had been asking
for, I think people were misunderstanding just

832
01:02:15.679 --> 01:02:21.039
what he meant by playing with speed
and playing much faster out there. You

833
01:02:21.159 --> 01:02:23.119
can still do that in the in
the half court too, but just making

834
01:02:23.199 --> 01:02:27.920
quicker decisions. But the only way
you can make quicker decisions to me is

835
01:02:27.960 --> 01:02:30.199
if you are connected out there,
if there's already chemistry built up, if

836
01:02:30.239 --> 01:02:34.559
you know where the guy next to
you is going to be. And tonight

837
01:02:34.719 --> 01:02:38.039
I thought they made strides in that
area. No, they absolutely did.

838
01:02:38.159 --> 01:02:40.960
And like with Kawhi, you know, I was critical of that last performance.

839
01:02:42.000 --> 01:02:45.199
I thought he was trying too hard
to make things go offensively and maybe

840
01:02:45.280 --> 01:02:51.159
not elevating his teammates as much as
we know he can as great as Kawhi

841
01:02:51.320 --> 01:02:53.719
can be individually and you know,
one of the best when when he's that

842
01:02:53.880 --> 01:02:58.920
peak performance. Obviously top five,
top three player. I think it's always

843
01:02:58.960 --> 01:03:00.800
been great about him as the way
that he can elevate guys on the floor.

844
01:03:01.039 --> 01:03:05.480
He's not necessarily the vocal leader.
He's not gonna necessarily be the guy

845
01:03:05.679 --> 01:03:07.920
who's out there chirping at people.
He's probably not given the halftime speech,

846
01:03:08.119 --> 01:03:12.039
but he's gonna lead with the way
that he is on the floor. So

847
01:03:12.199 --> 01:03:14.920
I thought that that was I thought
that was incredible, and I thought that

848
01:03:15.000 --> 01:03:20.239
that was great in this one was
the efficiency that we're used to from Kawhi.

849
01:03:20.519 --> 01:03:22.760
I mean, thirty four points on
eighteen field goal attempts, wild,

850
01:03:23.679 --> 01:03:30.280
wild stuff, but just I felt
like, you know, him, him

851
01:03:30.400 --> 01:03:32.360
being that way helped the floor with
everyone else. You know, it was

852
01:03:32.800 --> 01:03:36.840
hard in being himself. It was
Kawhi getting back to what you know,

853
01:03:36.960 --> 01:03:39.719
we know he does well. Paul
George is not super efficient tonight, but

854
01:03:39.840 --> 01:03:44.639
still stolid game. I mean,
getting our top three if we can get

855
01:03:45.119 --> 01:03:49.840
if we can get those top three
guys in twenty points per game territory,

856
01:03:50.239 --> 01:03:52.519
I just don't know who can really
stop this team. Well and Paul George.

857
01:03:53.000 --> 01:03:57.519
Yes, not as most efficient night
out there, just seven of eighteen.

858
01:03:57.920 --> 01:04:00.840
Okay, it's not exactly two for
thirteen. He still had nineteen points

859
01:04:00.920 --> 01:04:04.480
a point more than a shot taken. But he ended up with seven assists

860
01:04:04.719 --> 01:04:10.280
just one turnover. Like that is
that is doing some of those little things

861
01:04:10.360 --> 01:04:14.440
and being a playmaker out there and
making the extra pass and it kept the

862
01:04:14.559 --> 01:04:18.000
offense humming. But he also while
he didn't make a shot in the third

863
01:04:18.119 --> 01:04:21.159
quarter, I don't even know how
many he took, if any, he

864
01:04:21.400 --> 01:04:27.239
stuck a jumper to start the fourth
that was big, like they had to

865
01:04:27.360 --> 01:04:30.679
have it. Just like Okay,
Sacramento, they just came back on the

866
01:04:30.679 --> 01:04:33.960
Golden State Warriors last night. They
probably feel like they're invincible. They needed

867
01:04:34.039 --> 01:04:38.960
that shot as much as Kawhi knocked
down some shots late an Terrence Man I

868
01:04:39.039 --> 01:04:42.840
think at the ten minute mark a
twenty footer from Paul George that was also

869
01:04:42.960 --> 01:04:45.800
big for them. How about your
guy big Zoo though fourteen to eight and

870
01:04:45.920 --> 01:04:49.159
did most of his damage in the
third. Some of those assists were coming

871
01:04:49.199 --> 01:04:53.480
from Paul George off the bench.
Russ did have eight assists in just one

872
01:04:53.559 --> 01:04:57.199
turnover, and he was finding Zoo
for some easy ones on the third who

873
01:04:57.320 --> 01:05:01.039
was just a damn force out there. It's wild because you look at the

874
01:05:01.079 --> 01:05:05.639
assist numbers, twenty eight total aspists
really only like fifteen to twenty percent above

875
01:05:05.679 --> 01:05:10.599
our season average. I think we're
like twenty four a little a hair over

876
01:05:10.719 --> 01:05:14.079
twenty four assists per game on the
season. But it just looked like the

877
01:05:14.159 --> 01:05:17.159
ball like it was a completely like
it was completely different the way the ball

878
01:05:17.280 --> 01:05:23.519
was moving out there. Yeah,
I agree, the way they moved the

879
01:05:23.599 --> 01:05:29.519
basketball. It just it felt like
a team that knew themselves that it picked

880
01:05:29.599 --> 01:05:32.280
something up. But it all starts
with just James Harden, like it all

881
01:05:32.840 --> 01:05:38.519
kind of it begins with that hub. James Harden is the guy. He

882
01:05:38.840 --> 01:05:43.079
is a system. I don't know
how you can deny it. He didn't

883
01:05:43.119 --> 01:05:45.199
say the system, he said he's
a system. All right. Let's move

884
01:05:45.239 --> 01:05:49.440
forward to tomorrow. Will how do
you think this Clippers team fares against a

885
01:05:49.440 --> 01:05:54.840
Golden State Warriors team that is also
desperate for a victory after they lost the

886
01:05:54.920 --> 01:06:00.119
way they did in the fashion they
did to Sacramento yesterday. You know,

887
01:06:00.000 --> 01:06:04.239
we we haven't talked about the one
downside yet of this game. And that

888
01:06:04.559 --> 01:06:11.559
is the potential injury injury to Norman
Powell, and that does concern me if

889
01:06:11.639 --> 01:06:15.280
he is unable to go for whatever
reason on the second night of a back

890
01:06:15.320 --> 01:06:19.039
to back. That's the exact kind
of guy that you want to be able

891
01:06:19.079 --> 01:06:23.760
to give a scoring uh to,
to be able to give a scoring boost

892
01:06:23.760 --> 01:06:27.199
to your bench. Now, if
we get a similar performance, I think

893
01:06:27.199 --> 01:06:29.480
the Clippers can take this one.
I think that the like I think that

894
01:06:29.559 --> 01:06:31.400
the defense that we've seen lately is
going to be a lot. With the

895
01:06:31.559 --> 01:06:35.239
size that we have on Golden State, certainly, I think we pose some

896
01:06:35.360 --> 01:06:40.880
interesting problems for them. I do
have some concerns, though, tired legs.

897
01:06:41.719 --> 01:06:45.000
You know, you as down as
we were about the Denver loss,

898
01:06:45.000 --> 01:06:46.480
you know this is a great win. Was a team or second night of

899
01:06:46.519 --> 01:06:50.519
a back to back, it would
be understandable for the Clippers to drop that

900
01:06:50.599 --> 01:06:58.760
game. But I'm gonna say they
got some good news this evening. That's

901
01:06:58.800 --> 01:07:04.239
a kissinger. I think the going
to dance on his great I think Bones

902
01:07:04.320 --> 01:07:09.360
Hyland gets run tomorrow. I think
if Norm pals out, it's Bones's time

903
01:07:09.880 --> 01:07:13.039
to get busy. Whatever that you
want to say, this is a bone.

904
01:07:14.159 --> 01:07:18.719
Bones almost had that great uh the
great lob to to Terrence for one

905
01:07:18.760 --> 01:07:24.880
assist in one minute of play,
and uh should have had that yeah,

906
01:07:25.000 --> 01:07:27.840
oh yeah, no, that that
would have been I mean that just would

907
01:07:27.840 --> 01:07:31.519
have been like the perfect sherry on
top of what was a great victory.

908
01:07:31.880 --> 01:07:38.280
But yeah, I also as soon
as like the final horn, rung Kawhi

909
01:07:38.559 --> 01:07:42.159
went straight to bones first and I'm
so curious how that conversation went down.

910
01:07:42.400 --> 01:07:45.039
But uh, yeah, I would
love to see him get some run.

911
01:07:45.360 --> 01:07:49.599
He is will Updyke of Clips and
dip will if they win tomorrow, I

912
01:07:49.679 --> 01:07:54.679
