Clippers Locker Room, Clippers Playoff Basketball. It's brought to you by the Sorrento

from Keyam, official vehicle of the
LA Clippers, and by course Light Red

6
00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:36.399
Room. Adam Moslin. Well,
as they have all season long, the

7
00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:40.719
under man Clippers fought, but this
time they came up just short with a

8
00:00:40.759 --> 00:00:45.119
final score of one oh five to
one oh one, and they're twenty twenty

9
00:00:45.119 --> 00:00:48.840
one. Twenty twenty two campaign comes
to an end at the hand of the

10
00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:52.320
New Orleans Pelicans. Welcome into your
post game show. I'm Adam Moslin.

11
00:00:52.840 --> 00:00:55.880
Coming up. We'll get to your
second half highlights. You'll hear from the

12
00:00:55.920 --> 00:00:59.600
coach and the players after this one, but first we turn things over to

13
00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:03.200
your voice, the person. I
M more perspective, all right, Adam,

14
00:01:03.240 --> 00:01:04.799
Well, it was a tremendous season, and I said it just as

15
00:01:04.840 --> 00:01:10.359
the buzzer sounded that there was so
much to be proud of if you're a

16
00:01:10.359 --> 00:01:12.239
part of Clipper Nation, if you're
a part of this team, if you're

17
00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:15.319
a fan of this team, there's
a lot more positives than negative. And

18
00:01:15.719 --> 00:01:19.400
obviously it hurts right now not to
be in the playoffs when you felt like

19
00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:23.079
you had this game in control up
by thirteen, But to fight the way

20
00:01:23.079 --> 00:01:27.040
they did again without Paul George and
without Kawhi Leonard is a true testament to

21
00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:30.480
exactly what this team was all year. We're joined by television voice of the

22
00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:34.760
Clippers, Brian Seaman. Be appreciate
you hopping on with us after it was

23
00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:38.120
a tough loss to watch, certainly, but I do want to talk about

24
00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:42.159
that factor this season, the fact
that Kawhi Leonard plays zero games, Paul

25
00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:46.519
George plays thirty one in the regular
season, misses this last playing game.

26
00:01:46.760 --> 00:01:49.840
Norman Powell comes over, he plays
us the first three, then he misses

27
00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:53.239
essentially two months with the broken bone
in his foot, and yet this team

28
00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:57.760
continued to show the resilience, They
continue to show that fighting spirit that we

29
00:01:57.799 --> 00:02:01.400
knew was in there. If you
had to summarize what you saw this year

30
00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:06.120
from especially the young group that this
team had out there on a night tonight

31
00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:09.599
basis, how would you do so
minus the results that we saw tonight and

32
00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:14.680
the other night in Minnesota. This
is the This is the team that Lawrence

33
00:02:14.680 --> 00:02:19.840
Frank, Mark Hugh's, Trent redn
You know who am I missing? Michael

34
00:02:19.879 --> 00:02:23.759
Winger, He's pretty important, Jerry
West. This is the team, the

35
00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:27.360
mindset, the locker room that these
guys set out to build back in two

36
00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:30.560
thousand and seventeen one. That was
exactly what you said, resilient. That

37
00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:35.919
doesn't matter what the score is.
They're going to keep fighting. And this

38
00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:38.120
is there's reasons to be proud.
I don't like silver linings. You don't

39
00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:42.759
like them, the organization doesn't like
them. But to finish forty two and

40
00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:46.199
forty when you know throwing but toumb
and Morris missing time, it vitsa Zubos

41
00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:50.599
miss time, Luke Knnard missed a
ton of time, and yet here they

42
00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:53.680
are plus five hundred. There were
teams that had more talent that could not

43
00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:58.400
get even close to the wind total
or be in this playoff position. It's

44
00:02:58.439 --> 00:03:00.800
a bummer, and this loss is
a one. I love the way the

45
00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:05.080
Clippers started that second half, but
I think they ran out of steam.

46
00:03:05.080 --> 00:03:07.000
I mean mine. Let's be honest, they didn't have the bodies. You

47
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:10.280
know, I was talking to you, talking with the front office. They

48
00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:14.400
expected a mere Coffee to have a
large role. I think a mere got

49
00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:16.919
hurt on that play going into the
rim landed. There's no other way that

50
00:03:16.919 --> 00:03:21.199
he wouldn't come in. I think
everybody was expecting that and they just ran

51
00:03:21.240 --> 00:03:23.560
out of bodies. Now, give
credit to New Orleans what a job Willie

52
00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:27.960
Green has done. There was talk
about resiliency, how about being one and

53
00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:31.039
twelve and then getting into the playoffs. But I love this team and I'm

54
00:03:31.039 --> 00:03:36.080
supposed to be very honest. I
don't want any luck next year. I'm

55
00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:38.000
not asking for good luck. I
just don't want any bad luck. And

56
00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:43.280
if that is the case, we're
winning. We're winning almost sixty games based

57
00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:46.800
on how many people are playing,
and we're running the show next year a

58
00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:50.159
year from now, where we're gonna
be waiting to see who we play market

59
00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:53.199
down because we're going to be in
one of the top seeds. I love

60
00:03:53.240 --> 00:03:55.759
where the team is at. When
we knew Kauhi wasn't coming back, let's

61
00:03:55.800 --> 00:04:00.319
be let's just be straight. Like
I think the championship talk kind of died

62
00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:02.199
down a little bit, and we
were just rooting for this team to be

63
00:04:02.360 --> 00:04:06.000
terrific. They gave us what we
were hoping for, and a year from

64
00:04:06.039 --> 00:04:09.639
now, we're waiting to find out
who we played. So that's exactly what

65
00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:13.560
we mentioned right after this game ended, the fact that what we saw tonight

66
00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:18.720
again guys like Marcus Morris stepping up
as a number one option, Reggie Jackson

67
00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:23.560
going out there and taking over this
game. He still has the ability to

68
00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:27.439
do that. But you know,
Terrence mann Aviza, Zoobots, Luke Kennard

69
00:04:27.480 --> 00:04:30.439
when he's been healthy throughout the season, has had huge games with guys shorthanded

70
00:04:30.439 --> 00:04:33.639
and the team shorthanded. Obviously you
mentioned a mirror coffee. He's been great

71
00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:38.000
at times, the career high thirty
five to finish the regular season. All

72
00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:42.160
these bodies, Norman Powell, Kawhi
Leonard, Paul George when healthy, it

73
00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:45.439
feels like this team is ready for
vengeance what we saw last year. Think

74
00:04:45.480 --> 00:04:48.879
about how this team approached every game, approached every matchup, and then eventually

75
00:04:48.879 --> 00:04:53.839
approached the postseason. It was vengeance
on the mind. It was revenge trying

76
00:04:53.879 --> 00:04:57.240
to prove that the bubble was a
fluke. It feels like next season is

77
00:04:57.279 --> 00:05:00.079
lining up to be similar to that, where they're out blood. They're trying

78
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:03.279
to go out there and punish anybody
who stands in their way. Look at

79
00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:08.639
the title winners over the last ten
fifteen years, and I'll bet you you'll

80
00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:12.399
find heartache before they win it,
the year before they win it. And

81
00:05:12.519 --> 00:05:15.759
for Clippers in this organization, they've
got to go through a few years of

82
00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:18.560
heartache to get it done. But
this is it. The heartbreak is here.

83
00:05:18.920 --> 00:05:23.639
It will mend this summer. And
like I said, a year from

84
00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:26.480
now, you and I are going
to be frustrated because we don't know who

85
00:05:26.519 --> 00:05:29.959
we're playing in the first round.
It's gonna be one of those situations and

86
00:05:30.040 --> 00:05:32.199
I embrace it. But this has
been a great year. I've had fun

87
00:05:32.279 --> 00:05:36.040
with you, I've had fun with
the entire travel party. It truly felt

88
00:05:36.079 --> 00:05:41.000
like two thousand and nineteen again in
terms of just being out on the road

89
00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:45.199
and being with the players. This
is a fun season for me. I

90
00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:47.000
think that you know you would agree
this. We had a blast all the

91
00:05:47.000 --> 00:05:49.680
way through. This is not how
we wanted it to end, and I

92
00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:53.600
give credit to New Orleans. We
just ran out of steam down the stretch.

93
00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:56.480
I completely agree with that last thing
that I've got for you that we

94
00:05:56.519 --> 00:05:59.079
can expand on a little bit.
You already talked about the front office.

95
00:05:59.079 --> 00:06:01.639
Now, great of a job they
done assembling the team they sought out to

96
00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:05.720
assemble essentially, but they had to
bring in the right coach and Toronto lou

97
00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:10.600
once again tonight feels like he proved
that he is one of, if not

98
00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:14.839
the best coach in the NBA.
Going small against the lineup with Jonas Valancunis,

99
00:06:14.839 --> 00:06:16.920
who has killed the Clippers all year, a brilliant move that got them

100
00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:20.000
from down sixteen to up thirteen in
a blink of an eye. I think

101
00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:23.600
he deserves all the credit in the
world, as well as his entire staff.

102
00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:27.600
Honestly, not just the likes of
Brian Shaw or Larry Drew, but

103
00:06:28.199 --> 00:06:31.360
the Sean Fines who have been working
with guys for years, the Brendan O'Connors

104
00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:35.480
who were in the shadows, Dan
Craig defensively, Jay Larenega coming over this

105
00:06:35.519 --> 00:06:38.839
year his first year where the Clippers. The list goes on and on and

106
00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:42.839
on. That coaching staff did an
outstanding job all pent and tylu Is the

107
00:06:42.879 --> 00:06:45.680
best coach and he'll have the hardware. He's already got a ring. Obviously

108
00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:49.959
he'll have more coming to him.
But it's just been a blast watching those

109
00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:54.879
guys go to work. And let's
be really straight, like, what would

110
00:06:54.879 --> 00:06:59.439
you change about this season? The
answers nothing they hadn't Everything that was out

111
00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:03.199
of their control went against them.
Everything that was in their control they crushed.

112
00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:06.759
They did everything right, and you
know, they put themselves in a

113
00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:13.000
playing game. Unfortunately for them,
New Orleans just found that extra gear in

114
00:07:13.040 --> 00:07:16.160
the fourth quarter. An amazing performance
by Brandon Ingram all night long. A

115
00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:19.240
thirty point trend around in this game, I'll beat. I really thought that

116
00:07:19.279 --> 00:07:21.800
Clippers had their hands on the wheel, was worried about it. At the

117
00:07:21.839 --> 00:07:26.519
eight minute mark in that fourth quarter, New Orleans pulled away. But you

118
00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:30.399
mentioned Tyler tremendous. His whole staff
is great top to bottom. This organization.

119
00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:36.000
It doesn't have the banner yet,
but I wouldn't change anything they've done

120
00:07:36.120 --> 00:07:39.399
over the last few years. He
would be both, Brian, it was

121
00:07:39.399 --> 00:07:42.519
a pleasure sharing this whole season with
you. I can't wait for next season.

122
00:07:42.839 --> 00:07:45.639
As we said, vengeance on the
mind, I think Batman would be

123
00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:50.160
proud. What would he say,
Noah, vengeance and not a laugh.

124
00:07:50.240 --> 00:07:53.879
There you go. I love it
though, thank you for everything, No,

125
00:07:54.160 --> 00:07:56.199
thank you man. Well you have
a moment. Let's pause ten seconds.

fall, their season comes to a

134
00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:41.320
More breakdown coming up next here on
the Clippers Radio Network. Back to

00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:46.440
more Clippers playoff basketball defense, the
offense for the Clippers on the official home

like that, the Clippers season comes to

137
00:09:03.559 --> 00:09:07.320
an end. They fall one oh
five to one oh one the New Orleans

138
00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:11.840
Pelicans. Here from Crypto dot Com
Arena, we'll come back into your post

139
00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:16.759
game show. I'm Adam Oslin still
to come we'll have Clippers Talk final edition

140
00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:22.720
of the season on the Patriot AM
eleven fifty eight seven seven five two zero

141
00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:26.360
eleven fifty eight seven seven five two
zero eleven fifty is the phone number if

142
00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:31.000
you would like to get on early
and talk about your favorite memories, new

143
00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:35.639
Clippers memories from this season, and
also look ahead, because there is much

144
00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:43.120
to look forward to with this organization
and this roster and the return of Kawhi

145
00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:48.399
Leonard next season. But the Clippers
fought tonight as they have all season long.

146
00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:50.440
They just came out a little bit
or came up a little bit short.

147
00:09:52.919 --> 00:09:56.080
I think Brian Seaman Noah Eagle just
said it best. They just ran

148
00:09:56.120 --> 00:09:58.960
out of gas. They ran out
of healthy bodies. They didn't run out

149
00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:03.480
a heart, they didn't run out
of effort. They just simply did not

150
00:10:03.720 --> 00:10:09.039
have enough healthy guys out there.
And it wasn't just Paul George, but

151
00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:13.960
a mere Coffee left this game,
and we believe that it's likely due to

152
00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:16.679
an injury that he did not return
in the second half. When the Clippers

153
00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:22.799
were going small. They basically went
with a six man rotation in the second

154
00:10:22.879 --> 00:10:26.080
half of this game, and that's
what got them into it and up by

155
00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:30.320
ten heading into the fourth quarter,
but you could see there were some tired

156
00:10:30.440 --> 00:10:33.440
legs out there, and the Pelicans
looked like the fresher team down the stretch.

157
00:10:33.559 --> 00:10:39.399
They outscored the Clippers thirty one to
seventeen in that final period. That

158
00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:43.799
Clippers fall one oh five to one
zero one here in the play in as

159
00:10:43.840 --> 00:10:48.399
the Pelicans move on to take on

to always call eight one one before you

179

lead with twenty seven. Marcus Morris also

180
00:12:43.120 --> 00:12:46.840
had twenty seven on nine of twenty
shooting Reggie nine of twenty two. Clippers

181
00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:50.320
just simply ran out of gas in
that fourth quarter, put up just to

182
00:12:50.480 --> 00:12:54.480
seventeen points in the final period,
as the Pelicans would come back on the

183
00:12:54.480 --> 00:12:58.080
Clippers, who were up by thirteen
early on in the period after the Clippers

184
00:12:58.159 --> 00:13:03.159
came back on them. Down sixteen
in the first half, Clippers lose one

185
00:13:03.240 --> 00:13:07.120

Their season comes to an end at the

203
00:14:43.559 --> 00:14:46.919
We are supposed to be joined by
a special guest coming up in just

204
00:14:46.080 --> 00:14:52.000
a little bit as well. But
in some ways it was just a microcosm

205
00:14:52.120 --> 00:14:56.919
of this Clipper season, the bad
luck that went against them, the unfortunate

206
00:14:56.960 --> 00:15:01.759
timing with Paul George testing pause did
for COVID nineteen and not being able to

207
00:15:01.799 --> 00:15:07.240
go tonight, and the Clippers being
put in this position where they're under man

208
00:15:07.320 --> 00:15:11.519
once again, and once again they
fought and they battled, and they were

209
00:15:11.559 --> 00:15:15.879
down by sixteen, and by the
end of the third quarter they had a

210
00:15:15.919 --> 00:15:20.440
ten point lead. But one of
those bugaboos that has been there with this

211
00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:24.360
team is just scoring droughts. We've
seen it all season long, and it

212
00:15:24.480 --> 00:15:28.320
happened early in the fourth where they
were up by as many as thirteen,

213
00:15:28.840 --> 00:15:33.320
and I want to say they went
about three minutes without a made field goal

214
00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:39.480
and the offense bogged down by ISO
basketball. But as no Way Ego put

215
00:15:39.480 --> 00:15:45.159
it, they were tired legs out
there and that's the result you get.

216
00:15:45.519 --> 00:15:50.039
It was a six man rotation in
the second half with the Clippers going small

217
00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:54.279
rightfully, so coach lou pushed all
the right buttons to get them back into

218
00:15:54.279 --> 00:15:56.919
this game, down by sixteen,
down by ten at a half, and

219
00:15:58.159 --> 00:16:03.159
they completely flipped the script. They
took Jonas Valentcunis off the floor, and

220
00:16:03.320 --> 00:16:10.639
it was Nick batoum, Marcus Morris, Reggie Jackson, Terrence mann Rocco and

221
00:16:10.840 --> 00:16:15.720
Norman Powell who really changed the tone
and tenor of this game. As Brian

222
00:16:15.759 --> 00:16:18.840
Seaman would say, who was on
earlier with Noah Eagle. If you didn't

223
00:16:18.840 --> 00:16:23.120
hear that, we will podcast at
all on Clippers stock tonight, a special

224
00:16:23.279 --> 00:16:27.960
extended addition in that way you could
say, but I love the heart this

225
00:16:29.080 --> 00:16:33.240
team showed. They never ran out
of heart or effort, they ran out

226
00:16:33.240 --> 00:16:37.039
of bodies. They didn't have Luke
Kennard either tonight, of course, no

227
00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:40.120
Kawhi Leonard and then a mere coffee
It looked like he got banged up in

228
00:16:40.159 --> 00:16:44.440
the first half or else he would
have been part of that small ball rotation

229
00:16:44.519 --> 00:16:47.559
because it looked like a game where
he was primed to make an impact.

230
00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:53.919
But the Clippers, this is who
they are. They're gonna fight, They're

231
00:16:53.960 --> 00:16:59.000
gonna be resilient, They're gonna battle, and they're gonna give everything they have.

232
00:16:59.159 --> 00:17:03.080
They're not gonna be out worked.
You may out talent them, but

233
00:17:03.120 --> 00:17:06.960
they're not going to be outworked.
Good luck out talenting this team though.

234
00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:12.920
Next season, just an early prediction, they'll be the odds on favorite to

235
00:17:12.960 --> 00:17:21.559
win the championship when Kauai's back,
when Paul George's back, paired with now

236
00:17:21.640 --> 00:17:26.839
Norman Powell, who I thought showed
a ton of will at the end of

237
00:17:26.839 --> 00:17:30.200
that third quarter, just being relentless, getting to the basket over and over

238
00:17:30.279 --> 00:17:33.960
again, even when he wasn't shooting
the ball well early on. Same with

239
00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:41.279
Reggie Jackson. They stayed with it
and they gave them a chance up by

240
00:17:41.400 --> 00:17:45.359
ten entering the fourth quarter. But
that's a part of Norman Powell's game that

241
00:17:45.359 --> 00:17:49.920
you're gonna be seeing for a long
time here because he's under contract. This

242
00:17:51.000 --> 00:17:55.160
is not some mid season pickup where
the Clippers are gonna lose him. This

243
00:17:55.200 --> 00:17:59.880
offseason. He's gonna be around here
for some time. And as I mentioned,

244
00:18:00.920 --> 00:18:03.519
we got a special guest tonight on
Clippers Talk. It's your voice of

245
00:18:03.559 --> 00:18:07.359
the Clippers, Noah Eagle. No, my friend, thanks for doing this

246
00:18:07.480 --> 00:18:11.400
tonight. I know we've got some
phone calls to get to, but just

247
00:18:11.359 --> 00:18:15.720
your initial thoughts. Obviously, the
wound is a little bit fresh for Clipper

248
00:18:15.799 --> 00:18:19.880
Nation. It feels sudden, kind
of surreal right now. But the season

249
00:18:19.960 --> 00:18:26.039
concluded tonight, but there was a
lot to take from what this Clippers team

250
00:18:26.079 --> 00:18:29.319
did accomplish in many ways this year. Yeah, that to me is what

251
00:18:29.400 --> 00:18:32.960
everybody should be focusing on right now. Adam, forget the fact that they

252
00:18:33.079 --> 00:18:37.200
lost in this fashion. Obviously,
it's tough to lose and to go forty

253
00:18:37.240 --> 00:18:40.880
two and forty and have a healthy
six game lead over the team that's behind

254
00:18:40.920 --> 00:18:44.880
you. To lose that team to
then have them eventually advanced to be the

255
00:18:44.920 --> 00:18:47.839
eighth seed, it's a tough pill
to swallow. But to me, the

256
00:18:48.119 --> 00:18:51.920
focus should be not on this.
It should be on the comeback wins.

257
00:18:52.119 --> 00:18:56.759
It should be on the resiliency of
this team, the young guys taking another

258
00:18:56.799 --> 00:19:02.720
step forward, the nucleus continuing to
build together to Hron lou leaving another imprint

259
00:19:02.759 --> 00:19:04.799
on this team, in this organization, in this city. There's so much

260
00:19:04.839 --> 00:19:08.319
to take away that was really positive
and to remember about this season that was

261
00:19:08.359 --> 00:19:11.839
really positive. That should be the
focus, not the fact that they fell

262
00:19:12.039 --> 00:19:15.680
to a New Orleans team that's very
good, by the way, that has

263
00:19:15.759 --> 00:19:18.920
turned on the Jets after a one
and twelve start to the season and been

264
00:19:18.960 --> 00:19:22.559
an outstanding and a really tough team
to beat. So those are all the

265
00:19:22.559 --> 00:19:26.519
positives to focus on. I also
look at it this way. The Golden

266
00:19:26.559 --> 00:19:30.559
State Warriors last year were the eighth
seed in the Western Conference in the play

267
00:19:30.559 --> 00:19:33.960
in Tournament. They had a tough, hard fought loss on the road here

268
00:19:34.000 --> 00:19:38.960
in this building to the Lakers.
They went home and they lost in overtime

269
00:19:40.319 --> 00:19:42.880
to the Memphis Grizzlies. So the
parallel I was looking for tonight, So

270
00:19:44.039 --> 00:19:47.880
let's look at Let's look at these
two. Now, Memphis was the nine

271
00:19:48.079 --> 00:19:52.240
and Golden State was the eight.
Golden State is now the three, Memphis

272
00:19:52.240 --> 00:19:56.359
is now the two. Those are
two teams that believe legitimately they can win

273
00:19:56.359 --> 00:20:00.880
the NBA Championship this year, and
quite honestly, both of them can.

274
00:20:00.759 --> 00:20:03.319
The Clippers are going to be,
in my opinion, the best team in

275
00:20:03.319 --> 00:20:07.680
the NBA next season. The Clippers
are going to be the favorites to win

276
00:20:07.720 --> 00:20:11.599
the NBA Championship next season, and
if everything for them breaks the right way,

277
00:20:11.720 --> 00:20:15.440
which is a huge if, and
we've learned certainly the last three years

278
00:20:15.480 --> 00:20:18.640
more than even potentially before, luck
has a lot to do with winning an

279
00:20:18.720 --> 00:20:22.359
NBA championship. You need to be
lucky. The Clippers have not been lucky

280
00:20:22.400 --> 00:20:26.079
so far. They just haven't been. Three years ago, they were playing

281
00:20:26.200 --> 00:20:33.759
maybe the best basketball in the NBA. Pandemic hits three months off bubble.

282
00:20:33.759 --> 00:20:37.720
A lot of factors there that didn't
go the Clippers direction went against the Clippers.

283
00:20:38.240 --> 00:20:42.759
A couple of deaths for players,
close ones, loved ones. They

284
00:20:42.759 --> 00:20:45.400
had to leave, they had to
come back, circumstances weren't good. They

285
00:20:45.440 --> 00:20:49.279
basically had to thrust them into the
playoffs. It just didn't It wasn't good,

286
00:20:49.319 --> 00:20:53.119
It wasn't ideal. It was unlucky. The Clippers had been rolling before

287
00:20:53.160 --> 00:20:59.039
the bubble. The next year.
Last year, Kawhi Leonard goes down with

288
00:20:59.079 --> 00:21:02.799
a torn acl in Game four of
the second round, and yet they still

289
00:21:02.799 --> 00:21:04.599
get to the Conference finals. For
the first time in franchise history. And

290
00:21:04.640 --> 00:21:08.079
there's still just two games away from
an NBA Finals appearance. And it's almost

291
00:21:08.119 --> 00:21:12.559
widely accepted now from most experts that
you know, if Kawhi didn't go down

292
00:21:12.640 --> 00:21:15.559
last year, the Clippers were going
to win it all. Yeah, I

293
00:21:15.599 --> 00:21:18.519
hear that all the time. Yeah, because he was having he was on

294
00:21:18.559 --> 00:21:23.400
a tear, he was having another
raptors of level postseason. The efficiency was

295
00:21:23.440 --> 00:21:27.000
off the charts. And but the
opponents, I think they were favorable in

296
00:21:27.039 --> 00:21:32.279
the Clippers, sure, but that's
neither here nor there. It's all revisionist

297
00:21:32.319 --> 00:21:34.839
history. Right. So now this
year, Kawhi doesn't play any games.

298
00:21:34.880 --> 00:21:38.279
Paul George misses a whole lot of
games. He only plays the thirty one.

299
00:21:38.319 --> 00:21:42.200
He misses fifty one. He misses
this play in game because of a

300
00:21:42.200 --> 00:21:48.160
COVID positive result. Norman Powell comes
over three games in. It's just all

301
00:21:48.240 --> 00:21:52.079
unlucky, right, and yet they
still overcome the odds and overachieve. Every

302
00:21:52.079 --> 00:21:56.400
single time they've overachieved, they just
continue to overachieve, and so they need

303
00:21:56.440 --> 00:21:59.680
to be lucky, and one of
these years they're going to be. That's

304
00:21:59.720 --> 00:22:03.920
the thing. Everything balances out.
Karma is real and I always find that

305
00:22:03.759 --> 00:22:07.000
everything ends up even Stevens, everything
ends up the way it's supposed to.

306
00:22:07.079 --> 00:22:10.960
Over the course of an eighty two
game season, everything ends up evening out.

307
00:22:11.559 --> 00:22:12.480
So for the Clippers, it's going
to even out at some point.

308
00:22:12.559 --> 00:22:15.400
You just gotta wait, be patient
for it. And I would like to

309
00:22:15.400 --> 00:22:18.519
think that next year is the year
for this team to go out and accomplish

310
00:22:18.559 --> 00:22:22.039
their eventual goal of winning a title. This can be looked at eventually as

311
00:22:22.079 --> 00:22:26.759
a transitional bridge year, Yes to
the Clippers achieving that ultimate glory and the

312
00:22:26.799 --> 00:22:32.039
core the superstars they're under contract for
years to come. We'll take a quick

of Clippers Talk for this season.
We're joined by your Voice of the Clippers,

323
00:23:22.799 --> 00:23:25.799
Noah Eagle, and uh no,
we got some phone calls here and

324
00:23:25.799 --> 00:23:27.119
I'm sure some people that want to
talk to you over me this time.

325
00:23:27.160 --> 00:23:32.400
Morris in Long Beach. You're armed
with the Voice of the Clippers, Noah

326
00:23:32.440 --> 00:23:36.319
Eagle, and you know, out
of Moslin. Whatever something I was opening

327
00:23:36.359 --> 00:23:38.240
praying that the Clippers would keep him
under a hundred points. If they kept

328
00:23:38.279 --> 00:23:41.960
him under one hundred points, you
know that seventeen and two. But your

329
00:23:41.000 --> 00:23:45.240
boy Ingram went off on that first
quarter and they need to drug just him.

330
00:23:45.519 --> 00:23:47.680
But if I felt if they kept
him under a hundred points. But

331
00:23:47.720 --> 00:23:49.799
when they got to a hundred,
maybe being the Pelicans before the Clippers did,

332
00:23:51.039 --> 00:23:52.400
I saw, I started scratching my
head and I'm much there left.

333
00:23:52.440 --> 00:23:55.440
But I'm gonna tell you this,
fellows, I'll be willing to pray for

334
00:23:55.759 --> 00:24:00.279
is that the team across town that
they don't steal our coach. Okay,

335
00:24:00.319 --> 00:24:03.079
I'll see you next year. All
right, Morris one of the regulars here

336
00:24:03.119 --> 00:24:07.200
on Clippers Talk. Still breaking down
what happens tonight in this game. But

337
00:24:07.480 --> 00:24:11.759
we've been kind of going big pis
or no with everything that transpired this season,

338
00:24:12.039 --> 00:24:15.559
including the positives like the huge comebacks. By the way, I love

339
00:24:15.640 --> 00:24:18.200
Morris, I hear him every time
on Clippers Talk. He always brings positivity.

340
00:24:18.319 --> 00:24:22.839
He always is ready with facts,
he's always ready with good analysis,

341
00:24:22.839 --> 00:24:26.720
and he's not wrong there. Defensively, the Clippers were doing a great job

342
00:24:26.039 --> 00:24:30.079
through the majority of this game,
but they relented a little bit, and

343
00:24:30.119 --> 00:24:32.279
part of that was because they did
run out of gas. And it felt

344
00:24:32.319 --> 00:24:34.559
like the defense suffered more than anything
else in that fourth quarter. And that

345
00:24:34.599 --> 00:24:41.039
third quarter, that defense was suffocating. That defense was ridiculous. That was

346
00:24:41.200 --> 00:24:42.839
maybe some of the best defense we've
seen all season from the Clippers in that

347
00:24:42.880 --> 00:24:45.599
third quarter. And I want to
say, it was like three minutes left

348
00:24:45.599 --> 00:24:48.519
in the third the Clippers are only
given up six points in the quarter.

349
00:24:48.640 --> 00:24:52.799
It was that type of clamp city. So he's right. Defensively, the

350
00:24:52.839 --> 00:24:56.240
Clippers, that's where they hung their
hat all seasons. So they've got to

351
00:24:56.240 --> 00:24:59.119
find a way to run through the
tape. As we have talked about.

352
00:24:59.160 --> 00:25:03.359
But it's it's a good lesson to
have for next year. And the load

353
00:25:03.400 --> 00:25:07.559
of talent wings, everything on this
team is going to be scary. Javier

354
00:25:07.039 --> 00:25:11.799
in Lahabra, Javier Lahabra, heights, you're on Clippers, stop with your

355
00:25:11.839 --> 00:25:15.480
voice and the Clippers know what you're
going out of most Well, what's up,

356
00:25:15.480 --> 00:25:19.759
guys? You know, tough loss. I mean, it's just like

357
00:25:19.880 --> 00:25:23.599
Noah said, it's just bad luck. I mean, for so many years,

358
00:25:23.640 --> 00:25:29.880
it's just this is not one thing, that's another things. And hopefully

359
00:25:30.240 --> 00:25:33.200
next year everybody can be healthy.
I mean, I know they can miss

360
00:25:33.240 --> 00:25:37.480
some games here and there, but
I mean it just it's gotta turn around.

361
00:25:37.680 --> 00:25:41.000
And it's not because they didn't play
hard. They did, but it's

362
00:25:41.039 --> 00:25:44.359
just always one team or the other. And it's like when is it going

363
00:25:44.400 --> 00:25:45.920
to change? You know? But
you know, like I said, this

364
00:25:47.000 --> 00:25:52.680
year, hopefully Kawai comes back,
called George Lucanard and they get signed Covington

365
00:25:52.759 --> 00:25:57.200
again and and uh and win the
championship because there will be favored next year,

366
00:25:57.240 --> 00:26:02.359
no doubt, and next or that's
the years you got to win the

367
00:26:02.440 --> 00:26:04.920
chip. I mean, that's our
best chance. I think I don't know.

368
00:26:04.960 --> 00:26:10.200
What do you guys think. I
mean, Javier, you're I know

369
00:26:10.279 --> 00:26:12.119
it's tough. I know it's tough
as a Clipper fan to have to deal

370
00:26:12.160 --> 00:26:15.039
with all the bad luck from over
the years. But I'm telling you,

371
00:26:15.079 --> 00:26:18.640
the tide is always gonna turn.
And we appreciate you calling in as always,

372
00:26:18.680 --> 00:26:22.440
Havier. I just the tide's gonna
turn for this team. It's only

373
00:26:22.480 --> 00:26:26.559
a matter of time. Like let's
think about some of those other teams in

374
00:26:26.599 --> 00:26:30.720
the sports history that had curses,
the Chicago Cubs and the Boston Red Sox.

375
00:26:30.039 --> 00:26:33.440
Those lasted years and years, those
one hundred plus years for some of

376
00:26:33.440 --> 00:26:37.119
them, and they broke it.
This team is close, they're knocking on

377
00:26:37.160 --> 00:26:38.119
the door, and I hear you. You brought up a good point.

378
00:26:38.119 --> 00:26:41.680
I didn't even we haven't really even
talked about the fact that Luke Nard didn't

379
00:26:41.680 --> 00:26:45.119
play in these two playing games could
have been completely different. Let's think about

380
00:26:45.240 --> 00:26:47.799
the problem. It's funny, the
problem was a little different in each game.

381
00:26:48.000 --> 00:26:51.759
The problem in Minnesota was that the
offense sputtered. The problem here was

382
00:26:51.799 --> 00:26:55.519
that the defense sputtered. And it
feels like Luke Kennard could have really helped,

383
00:26:55.559 --> 00:26:59.240
especially in Minnesota, maybe knocked down
just one three to keep the momentum

384
00:26:59.279 --> 00:27:02.720
on the Clippers side even tonight,
one extra jump shot or drive to the

385
00:27:02.799 --> 00:27:06.680
lane. He can facilitate for others. So they were certainly missing him.

386
00:27:06.720 --> 00:27:10.799
But I understand it's frustrating as a
part of Clipper Nation to feel like the

387
00:27:10.880 --> 00:27:12.880
luck is always on the other side. But you just got to have faith

388
00:27:12.920 --> 00:27:17.200
that it's going to turn back in
your favor, which I believe it will,

389
00:27:17.480 --> 00:27:19.680
and I think more than anything else, this offseason is gonna be a

390
00:27:19.720 --> 00:27:22.519
lot of fun for Cliper Nation.
You want to know why, because the

391
00:27:22.559 --> 00:27:27.839
possibilities going in the next season are
insane, and not just even next season.

392
00:27:29.079 --> 00:27:30.960
Think about Summer League. We're gonna
get to see Jason Preston back on

393
00:27:30.960 --> 00:27:33.200
the court. We're gonna get to
see some of these other guys who maybe

394
00:27:33.240 --> 00:27:37.240
didn't get an opportunity to play.
Brandon Boston will be back on the court.

395
00:27:37.400 --> 00:27:40.000
He'll keep getting better. We didn't
even mention him, Adam. Think

396
00:27:40.039 --> 00:27:45.559
about some of the performances he had
this season. I think so. I

397
00:27:45.599 --> 00:27:48.799
think he was mister forty six.
He was also Mister twenty seven against the

398
00:27:48.799 --> 00:27:52.559
city he's named after, so it's
just an embarrassment of riches on this team.

399
00:27:52.680 --> 00:27:56.799
Lawrence Frank, Michael Winger, Trent
Reddin, Mark Hughes, Jerry West.

400
00:27:56.960 --> 00:28:00.440
They're gonna tinker, They're gonna find
different ways to keep getting better.

401
00:28:00.640 --> 00:28:03.559
They're gonna try to fill any hole
that they might have. I just think

402
00:28:03.559 --> 00:28:07.119
it's gonna be a really exciting offseason, and by the time we get to

403
00:28:07.359 --> 00:28:12.079
next season, the excitement is gonna
be so high that the team is going

404
00:28:12.160 --> 00:28:15.839
to just go out there and I
feel like they're gonna run through walls for

405
00:28:15.880 --> 00:28:18.480
Clipper Nation like they That's the thing. I've been around these players now for

406
00:28:18.519 --> 00:28:22.519
three years. This is my third
year with the team, and this year,

407
00:28:22.559 --> 00:28:25.160
getting back to traveling with them,
I got to know these guys better

408
00:28:25.200 --> 00:28:27.359
than last season, for sure,
And I can tell you one thing.

409
00:28:27.799 --> 00:28:32.319
They all take a lot of pride
about playing with the Clippers. There's a

410
00:28:32.440 --> 00:28:36.559
legitimate pride that everybody in that locker
room has to be a Clipper to wear

411
00:28:36.599 --> 00:28:40.519
that uniform and to represent this organization. Reggie was going to camp outside of

412
00:28:40.559 --> 00:28:42.880
him. He was he was gonna
retire down the door, so he and

413
00:28:44.359 --> 00:28:47.160
he was dead serious by the way
at him, like he was actually going

414
00:28:47.240 --> 00:28:51.200
to retire after the postseason run he
had if the Clippers weren't going to resign

415
00:28:51.240 --> 00:28:52.480
him. That's how much he loves
being here. That's how much he loves

416
00:28:52.519 --> 00:28:56.079
being a part of this organization.
So with that being said, they also

417
00:28:56.559 --> 00:29:00.960
they feel that sense of pride and
that sense of responsibility that they have the

418
00:29:02.000 --> 00:29:04.319
Clipper Nation of we want to be
the first ones to win it. Marcus

419
00:29:04.319 --> 00:29:07.359
Morris talks about that, we want
to be the first ones to hang that

420
00:29:07.359 --> 00:29:10.880
batter. We want to do this, we want to do that. They

421
00:29:10.920 --> 00:29:12.839
feel that, and you can feel
that in the locker room or on the

422
00:29:12.839 --> 00:29:17.799
plane or whatever. So to me, Cliper Nation needs to be excited because

423
00:29:17.799 --> 00:29:21.680
this is a season ahead that's going
to be one to remember. Ray in

424
00:29:21.880 --> 00:29:25.160
Torrence, you're on Clippers Stop with
their voice of the Clippers. No Eagle

425
00:29:25.279 --> 00:29:29.559
Right, what's up? Hey?
I'm gonna be a little more of a

426
00:29:29.559 --> 00:29:33.400
downer on these last two games.
These were two winnable games. I love

427
00:29:33.480 --> 00:29:37.960
Tyler. I think he's the usually
pushes every button and we win. But

428
00:29:38.000 --> 00:29:42.039
he didn't push everybunton and we lost
two games that we're winnable, and I

429
00:29:42.119 --> 00:29:45.839
just seemed, you know, that's
been out rebounded. I know we went

430
00:29:45.920 --> 00:29:49.359
small, but he ran with some
rotations too long, and you know,

431
00:29:49.440 --> 00:29:56.960
being the offensive rebounds in that fourth
quarter in missing twelve feet throws, that's

432
00:29:56.960 --> 00:30:00.400
not his fault, that's the player's
fault. But I just just not like

433
00:30:00.480 --> 00:30:03.960
how he coached. And he's great, but usually he wins all these but

434
00:30:03.000 --> 00:30:06.920
he lost these two, and I
think that's part players, that part on

435
00:30:07.039 --> 00:30:10.359
him. So that's my feelings and
a little frustrated. I've been a season

436
00:30:10.359 --> 00:30:12.480
ticket holders the nineteen eighty eight and
so I've seen a lot of things,

437
00:30:12.519 --> 00:30:15.119
but these were two winnable games,
and I wish we could have won one

438
00:30:15.160 --> 00:30:22.599
of them. Welcome to clipperstock noise, criticism coming down on the head coach.

439
00:30:22.920 --> 00:30:25.279
One of the best coaches in the
league. I believe he is the

440
00:30:25.319 --> 00:30:29.720
best, and I think it's easy
to nitpick after the fact, but coach

441
00:30:29.839 --> 00:30:33.119
lou put together the rotation that got
them back into this game at twenty point

442
00:30:33.200 --> 00:30:37.359
turnaround. Yeah, that's exactly it, Adam. It was just the fact

443
00:30:37.400 --> 00:30:40.240
that if he didn't go small in
this game, the Clippers would have been

444
00:30:40.240 --> 00:30:41.480
blown out. Right, They were
down by as many as sixteen, and

445
00:30:41.480 --> 00:30:45.640
it wasn't getting any better. So
that's what he does. He makes adjustments.

446
00:30:45.000 --> 00:30:48.720
The reason he is so good at
making adjustments normally in a playoff series

447
00:30:48.759 --> 00:30:52.000
is because he has multiple games to
work with, and we saw that a

448
00:30:52.000 --> 00:30:55.519
lot last year, where once he
found that right combination, he went forward.

449
00:30:55.599 --> 00:30:57.599
Let's think about some of those games. Game one against Dallas, they

450
00:30:57.599 --> 00:31:02.359
had really chances to win that game, didn't. Game two against Dallas,

451
00:31:02.400 --> 00:31:06.759
same deal. Game five against Dallas, same deal. Game one against Utah

452
00:31:07.160 --> 00:31:10.000
they lost by three. Game two
against Utah, they had a lead in

453
00:31:10.039 --> 00:31:12.920
the second half. But the fact
that he had time to really tinker a

454
00:31:12.960 --> 00:31:15.759
little bit extra, the way that
he did it on the fly today was

455
00:31:15.799 --> 00:31:19.119
exceptional. Even Lebron James was tweeting
that he was the best coach in the

456
00:31:19.160 --> 00:31:22.559
league. Lebron James knows what he's
talking about. He's Lebron James. Kyle

457
00:31:22.640 --> 00:31:27.599
Kuzma was tweeting that the Clippers,
when they are fully healthy, are probably

458
00:31:27.640 --> 00:31:32.279
better than anybody in the NBA.
They've got an embarrassment of wings and riches

459
00:31:32.319 --> 00:31:34.559
and all of this stuff, and
I think that Toronto do it everything he

460
00:31:34.599 --> 00:31:37.559
could tonight. Like to me,
there was nothing else he could have done

461
00:31:37.799 --> 00:31:41.720
if he put Avizza Zubots back in
the game. What it was doing,

462
00:31:41.720 --> 00:31:44.839
it was clogging the paint for those
driving lanes. And what they did in

463
00:31:44.839 --> 00:31:47.519
the third quarter so well was drive
to the basket, get to the free

464
00:31:47.519 --> 00:31:49.960
throw line, and kick out to
those open shooters. That floor spacing created

465
00:31:51.039 --> 00:31:55.599
much more open three point opportunities.
Whereas one of Vizza Zubots and Isaiah Hartenstein

466
00:31:55.640 --> 00:31:59.400
were in there, those looks weren't
quite coming the same way, and it

467
00:31:59.440 --> 00:32:02.039
wasn't like they needed them in there
to battle with valentunas he wasn't playing at

468
00:32:02.039 --> 00:32:06.240
a super high level. So to
me, Toronto Lou did the right thing.

469
00:32:06.839 --> 00:32:08.319
This was more about the guys just
running out of gas, which is

470
00:32:08.680 --> 00:32:12.519
a point that he made, and
he's right that the guys did run out

471
00:32:12.519 --> 00:32:15.079
of gas, but that's more about
Kawhi, Leonard, Paul, George Luke,

472
00:32:15.119 --> 00:32:20.000
Kennard, Jay Scrub, Jason Preston
and then a mere coffee all not

473
00:32:20.079 --> 00:32:22.599
being available. The fact that all
those guys aren't there and you can't go

474
00:32:22.759 --> 00:32:27.000
because they are all fitting into that
small ball lineup. That's what they're the

475
00:32:27.000 --> 00:32:30.559
Clippers in tonight, we will take
a quick time out here. Clippers fall

476
00:32:30.680 --> 00:32:36.920

You're listening to LA Clippers playoff basketball. He goes all the way to

This is the official home of your LA

489
00:33:40.960 --> 00:33:45.720
ask you this your favorite moment of
the season. Not easy, No,

490
00:33:45.880 --> 00:33:47.799
it's not easy at all, But
I feel like it's got to be the

491
00:33:49.039 --> 00:33:52.960
Washington thirty five point comeback, right. I still can't believe it happened,

492
00:33:52.039 --> 00:33:55.240
and the fact that I was there
to see it in person was unbelievable.

493
00:33:57.319 --> 00:34:00.519
The shock, the sheer shock in
that building. I'll never forget that.

494
00:34:00.599 --> 00:34:05.200
So that that one was probably tough
to top. I did like the twenty

495
00:34:05.240 --> 00:34:08.440
five point come back against Utah with
Paul George making his return. There were

496
00:34:08.480 --> 00:34:12.599
a couple of really fun games this
year. I mean, maybe the four

497
00:34:12.639 --> 00:34:15.039
wins against the Lakers, but I
would say it's probably the Wizards thirty five

498
00:34:15.079 --> 00:34:19.599
point comeback that that one's gonna stand
alone forever. That's my favorite two.

499
00:34:19.719 --> 00:34:25.639
The win in Brooklyn was special also, But Luke Kennard go on Reggie Miller

500
00:34:25.800 --> 00:34:30.760
at the end, and then those
clips of he and Aviza Zoobots being playful

501
00:34:31.199 --> 00:34:36.599
with one another that came out a
week or so later, where where Zoo's

502
00:34:36.639 --> 00:34:38.519
like, oh, it's not like
I've never done it before. It looks

503
00:34:38.559 --> 00:34:43.360
like you haven't done back in my
day. Zoo. By the way,

504
00:34:43.480 --> 00:34:47.239
Zoo is deceptively hilarious. He is
deceptively hilarious. Right after that comeback,

505
00:34:47.280 --> 00:34:51.079
I think I told the story on
the air right after it, but I'll

506
00:34:51.119 --> 00:34:54.039
remind everybody who's listening. So right
after that that thirty five point comeback,

507
00:34:54.119 --> 00:34:59.000
we were on the bus and Brian
Seman was clapping for everybody who got on

508
00:34:59.039 --> 00:35:04.000
the bus, and that included players, coaches, et cetera. And Torontoluke

509
00:35:04.079 --> 00:35:07.639
gets on and Brian's clapping. He
goes, don't clap for me, clap

510
00:35:07.639 --> 00:35:09.559
for the clap for the players,
but not the starters. Don't clap for

511
00:35:09.599 --> 00:35:15.159
the starters. And so Brian still
clapping as Zoo gets on the bus,

512
00:35:15.199 --> 00:35:16.840
who was a starter and didn't play
at all in the second half. That's

513
00:35:16.880 --> 00:35:22.360
right, Coach afterwards says Serge better
do something more, and t Lu goes,

514
00:35:22.679 --> 00:35:25.599
don't clap for Zoo. So it
was terrible, and Zoo goes,

515
00:35:25.599 --> 00:35:30.440
oh, come on, coach,
I'm part of the history too, and

516
00:35:30.599 --> 00:35:34.039
Dante Jones says, yeah, you're
right. If it wasn't for you,

517
00:35:34.079 --> 00:35:37.119
there be no history that was.
That was an elite moment from that night.

518
00:35:37.440 --> 00:35:40.679
Man, I'll never forget that one. Behind the scenes, look there

519
00:35:40.679 --> 00:35:44.519
with your voice of the Clippers,
No Eagle, Let's go to Peter and

520
00:35:44.639 --> 00:35:49.440
Huntington Beach. Peter, you're on
Clippers talk tonight. How are you I'm

521
00:35:49.440 --> 00:35:52.840
doing. I'm a little down because
I was at the Crypto dot Com and

522
00:35:52.880 --> 00:35:57.320
I'm going to switch gears a little. It was a great season. I'm

523
00:35:57.320 --> 00:36:01.280
looking forward to next year. I
I'm gonna say the reason that we came

524
00:36:01.320 --> 00:36:07.159
back tonight, I have never heard
Crypto so loud and rocking as it was

525
00:36:07.239 --> 00:36:12.119
tonight, So I'm gonna take a
little credit because I was screaming and yelling

526
00:36:12.199 --> 00:36:15.079
my butt off, so I hope
you guys don't mind. But other than

527
00:36:15.119 --> 00:36:19.920
that, the only thing that I
can say is the free throws killed us

528
00:36:20.360 --> 00:36:25.039
down the stretch. We miss I
mean Mooc missed, Reggie missed, everybody

529
00:36:25.079 --> 00:36:32.239
missed. Three throws. They're free
throws. Holy smokes your thoughts. Thank

530
00:36:32.280 --> 00:36:35.760
you for the phone called Peter.
Well, first of all, I love

531
00:36:35.800 --> 00:36:39.920
the fact that you're bringing up a
Clipper nation because they take the credit.

532
00:36:40.239 --> 00:36:44.960
All right, take the credit,
bro. I completely agree. It was

533
00:36:45.079 --> 00:36:47.119
rocking in here, especially that third
quarter when fat Man Scoop came out.

534
00:36:47.239 --> 00:36:51.760
I mean that was different level.
Is he Lyon saying that this was the

535
00:36:51.760 --> 00:36:58.159
loudest Crypto dot Com orne. I
mean the Utah game was probably pretty loud

536
00:36:58.199 --> 00:37:00.519
too. That was. It was
a sellout and PG return. They came

537
00:37:00.519 --> 00:37:05.360
back from twenty five to win.
That one was great, but this was

538
00:37:05.400 --> 00:37:09.280
probably Yeah, this was probably number
one in terms of sheer noise at Crypto

539
00:37:09.360 --> 00:37:13.840
dot com Arena, without a doubt. As for the free throws, I

540
00:37:13.880 --> 00:37:15.320
think it's kind of what we touched
on before. These guys were just tired,

541
00:37:15.360 --> 00:37:19.199
man, and it's hard to shoot
free throws and concentrate when you're that

542
00:37:19.280 --> 00:37:22.599
tired. Think about it, full
season, this is a this is game

543
00:37:22.679 --> 00:37:27.519
eighty four of the season for them. Guys like Reggie, guys like Marcus,

544
00:37:27.559 --> 00:37:31.079
Guys like Norm who is still working
himself essentially back into shape. It's

545
00:37:31.079 --> 00:37:37.440
not easy. Reggie and Marcus had
played just ridiculous minutes all season long,

546
00:37:37.519 --> 00:37:39.360
so it weighs on them, and
then they had to play big minutes tonight,

547
00:37:39.480 --> 00:37:43.960
so I understand why they missed the
free throws. It's a frustrating,

548
00:37:43.960 --> 00:37:45.519
without a doubt, it's frustrating in
a game you lose by four to miss

549
00:37:45.559 --> 00:37:49.400
that many free throws. But guess
what, New Orleans missed pretty much the

550
00:37:49.440 --> 00:37:52.800
same amount. So it wasn't like
you had a sheer advantage and you just

551
00:37:52.840 --> 00:37:57.440
couldn't take advantage. Brian in South
Pasadena. You're on Clippers, stop with

552
00:37:57.480 --> 00:37:59.639
your voice of the Clippers, no
Ah Eagle, Brian, what's up?

553
00:38:00.719 --> 00:38:07.159
Hi? I wanted to put the
positive things about a coach over the history.

554
00:38:07.519 --> 00:38:12.320
Maybe Larry Brown was up there,
but we I think we have the

555
00:38:12.320 --> 00:38:17.000
best coach of all time. I
believe that he's like Doc Livers, only

556
00:38:17.320 --> 00:38:22.719
better Doc Rivers, that can make
adjustment, send the game. Every game

557
00:38:22.760 --> 00:38:27.199
he makes this great adjustments. It's
a pleasure to watch what he does.

558
00:38:28.159 --> 00:38:30.840
He doesn't he got. He drives
me a little bit much. I was

559
00:38:30.880 --> 00:38:32.679
at the I was at the game. I was getting the best when we

560
00:38:32.719 --> 00:38:37.039
went down by fifteen sixty, and
then he makes adjustments at the half,

561
00:38:37.159 --> 00:38:42.159
right before the half because we bring
it to ten. And then it was

562
00:38:42.199 --> 00:38:47.119
incredible the adjustment he did their quarters. And uh, Like I said,

563
00:38:47.159 --> 00:38:52.119
it's a pleasure to see a good
coach working right in front of you.

564
00:38:52.239 --> 00:38:57.159
And uh, I just I just
loved this. Ryan, thank you for

565
00:38:57.199 --> 00:38:59.320
the phone call. I mean that's
why I know what Ego calls him the

566
00:38:59.360 --> 00:39:05.320
chiropractor. Yeah. I think that
Toron lu has earned his stripes around the

567
00:39:05.440 --> 00:39:07.840
NBA. And if he hasn't in
your heart. Yet just give him a

568
00:39:07.840 --> 00:39:12.519
little bit more time because it's only
a matter of time. It's to me,

569
00:39:12.639 --> 00:39:15.360
what stands out about him versus any
other coach in the league. I

570
00:39:15.360 --> 00:39:20.239
should say not any many. You
got guys like Money Williams and Willie Green

571
00:39:20.280 --> 00:39:22.920
who we saw to night, who
are similar. The demeanor is always calm.

572
00:39:23.480 --> 00:39:27.719
Toron Lu never gets rattled and so
as a result, that's why his

573
00:39:27.760 --> 00:39:30.840
teams can always come back because they
look at him and he's never rattled.

574
00:39:30.960 --> 00:39:34.000
He just looks like his normal self, and he's joking around at halftime.

575
00:39:34.000 --> 00:39:36.639
They might be down twenty, he's
like, oh, we got him right

576
00:39:36.639 --> 00:39:38.800
where we want him, and then
players actually believe it, like that's half

577
00:39:38.840 --> 00:39:42.800
the battle. That's something that a
lot of coaches don't have, and it's

578
00:39:42.800 --> 00:39:47.599
a tool that he uses to an
elite, elite level. It's strange.

579
00:39:47.679 --> 00:39:53.599
I've never heard just the profusive praise
that the players give to the head coach

580
00:39:53.639 --> 00:39:57.719
all the time, just saying,
whatever coachle wants, we trust in him.

581
00:39:57.760 --> 00:40:00.280
And so guys fall into their roles. So if they don't play a

582
00:40:00.280 --> 00:40:01.840
half, if they don't play that
night, they know the reason why.

583
00:40:01.920 --> 00:40:06.920
He's just trying to win he's trying
to find the right combinations and like I

584
00:40:06.920 --> 00:40:10.000
said before, he's willing to try
anything, which you need to be if

585
00:40:10.000 --> 00:40:13.920
you want to be a great head
coach in the NBA, literally anything.

586
00:40:14.079 --> 00:40:16.320
And so we couldn't ask for a
better head coach. We couldn't ask for

587
00:40:16.320 --> 00:40:19.880
a better front office, and we
couldn't ask for a better roster that's gonna

588
00:40:19.880 --> 00:40:24.639
go into next season. Couldn't ask
for a better play by players Clippers,

589
00:40:24.639 --> 00:40:30.519
then the great Noah Eagle, whose
leadership is unmasked throughout this entire year and

590
00:40:30.559 --> 00:40:34.000
into the playing here. No I
just want to say, it's a pleasure

591
00:40:34.000 --> 00:40:37.199
of working with you as always.
We have the most fun up here with

592
00:40:37.320 --> 00:40:42.320
you and big brother Jake Warner and
Dennis Agastino as he's here. It's a

593
00:40:42.400 --> 00:40:45.119
special group here as well. Adam. The feeling is mutual. Seriously,

594
00:40:45.119 --> 00:40:49.360
you've made everything so easy for me
since I've joined the team, and I

595

Final Clippers Talk edition of the season.

603
00:41:17.920 --> 00:41:22.360
After they lose one oh five to
one oh one here in downtown Los Angeles

00:41:22.360 --> 00:41:24.280
to the Pelicans, and Noah,

605
00:41:25.199 --> 00:41:32.159
Can't worry it out him? Timahawks
Slam. You're listening to LA Clippers playoff

606
00:41:32.199 --> 00:41:37.400
basketball. He goes all the way
to the ram Husky Scraping Jam. This

607
00:41:37.000 --> 00:41:50.679
is the official home of your LA
Clippers. It is hard to say goodbye

608
00:41:50.800 --> 00:41:53.760
to this Clippers season. After they
lose one oh five till one oh one.

609
00:41:54.119 --> 00:41:59.519
Here at Crypto dot Com Arena to
the Pelicans, congratul congratulations to them.

610
00:41:59.559 --> 00:42:02.599
There movie on they'll be the eighth
seed taken on the Phoenix Suns in

611
00:42:02.679 --> 00:42:07.199
the first round. A few more
minutes here, final edition of Clippers Talk

612
00:42:07.280 --> 00:42:10.960
for the year. Let's go to
John and York Melinda, John York Clippers

613
00:42:12.000 --> 00:42:16.039
Talk with Adamawson, what's up about
him? Few more tight clips here again

614
00:42:16.079 --> 00:42:22.039
until you I call it, But
I'm proud of the guys that came out

615
00:42:22.159 --> 00:42:25.760
tonight. I think he was really
fitting that Freggie and Look, Uh let's

616
00:42:25.760 --> 00:42:29.559
tell out there. I think they
both had twenty seven and both played over

617
00:42:29.639 --> 00:42:32.559
forty three minutes, so neighbors.
That carries them that whole season. So

618
00:42:34.239 --> 00:42:37.639
I was I was really happy with
how Look played today. I think he

619
00:42:37.800 --> 00:42:42.840
took the criticism the heart and so
I'm probably going to board making big plays.

620
00:42:42.960 --> 00:42:45.280
But yeah, gotta be tough.
But at least we don't have to

621
00:42:45.360 --> 00:42:52.920
hear more about uh speculation about Kawai
having to worry about rushing Peg if they

622
00:42:52.960 --> 00:42:57.400
were to win back into a Phoenix
series. Now things just both folks are

623
00:42:57.400 --> 00:43:00.840
recovering. So it's gonna be.
It's gonna be seen the next year,

624
00:43:00.039 --> 00:43:05.960
and it's something good to build up
to this season. John, thank you

625
00:43:06.039 --> 00:43:10.440
for the phone call. John from
at Courtside Underscore clips follow him there for

626
00:43:10.599 --> 00:43:15.000
his Clippers coverage. Look, there's
so much to look forward to with this

627
00:43:15.159 --> 00:43:20.559
team. There's so many positives.
I know, it's felt like they've been

628
00:43:20.599 --> 00:43:24.079
snake bit it's underscored by the fact
that Paul George wasn't available in this game.

629
00:43:24.840 --> 00:43:28.599
I'm sure that woad stweet you double
checked it. Did it have the

630
00:43:28.679 --> 00:43:32.679
blue check mark? Was it real? It was? Unfortunately, and without

631
00:43:32.800 --> 00:43:37.760
both of their superstars, plus Luke
Kannard plus a mere coffee in the second

632
00:43:37.800 --> 00:43:44.480
half, it was finally an obstacle
or a hurdle that the Clippers could not

633
00:43:44.559 --> 00:43:47.559
overcome. But the fight was there, the effort was there. That's all

634
00:43:47.599 --> 00:43:51.920
you can ask for. And I
know there's a love affair with Clipper Nation

635
00:43:52.079 --> 00:43:55.039
and this team and this roster,
and I think the feelings mutual. We

636
00:43:55.119 --> 00:43:59.679
talked about Reggie Jackson, how much
he loves this organization in this fan base.

637
00:44:00.199 --> 00:44:04.039
That's why he gives out his PP
and J bites, closing things out

638
00:44:04.239 --> 00:44:09.719
appropriately. So Jose in south Gate, you're on Clipper stock. What's such

639
00:44:09.760 --> 00:44:14.000
cliber Nation? We'll stop at him. Man on you watching that game,

640
00:44:14.639 --> 00:44:15.800
I wasn't gonna hear it to I
was, you know, I mean,

641
00:44:15.840 --> 00:44:19.760
I'm gonna listen to Adam. I
know it's gonna sink, but I know

642
00:44:20.119 --> 00:44:22.719
I just missed Noah. I just
wanted to say that I grew up listening

643
00:44:22.880 --> 00:44:25.159
roth mother and my son's growing up
listening to you guys, you and on

644
00:44:25.320 --> 00:44:30.320
Noah, what a I'm gonna say? Oh yeah, man, no Clipper

645
00:44:30.360 --> 00:44:32.320
talk, all right, I mean
want to talk about it. When you're

646
00:44:32.320 --> 00:44:35.800
talking about the season. It was
a good season. You help us out,

647
00:44:36.480 --> 00:44:38.880
Adam, thank you for being their
pregame and post game. I can't

648
00:44:38.880 --> 00:44:42.360
wait to come back next year with
our guys. But hold on, before

649
00:44:42.360 --> 00:44:49.920
we leave, I got one thing
to stay rightbody, two three lasts all

650
00:44:50.000 --> 00:44:53.679
right, Jose and south Gate taking
us out in style. The good thing

651
00:44:53.840 --> 00:44:58.960
is Clipper Nation. The best is
still yet to come. And I say

652
00:44:59.039 --> 00:45:04.039
this very often. It's true.
This team has only been put at this

653
00:45:04.239 --> 00:45:08.679
high of a level since Steve Ballmer
took over in twenty fourteen. It's almost

654
00:45:08.719 --> 00:45:14.800
been like a new franchise since then. Now it's a level playing field with

655
00:45:15.000 --> 00:45:20.400
them and their Hallway rivals. And
just look at the moves they have made.

656
00:45:21.000 --> 00:45:23.920
Look at how great this front office
is, Look at this coaching staff,

657
00:45:24.159 --> 00:45:29.320
this roster. When they get pointed
in the right direction, meaning when

658
00:45:29.360 --> 00:45:34.199
these guys get all healthy together at
once, I do think they have a

659
00:45:34.320 --> 00:45:37.159
chance to be a general and they
have a chance to do when no Clippers

660
00:45:37.199 --> 00:45:43.920
team has done before, which is
when Matt Larry obeat. The pursuit continues

661
00:45:44.079 --> 00:45:45.960
next season. But before we get
out of here, I do want to

662
00:45:46.000 --> 00:45:52.880
thank the Clippers organization. Noah Eagle, Ryan Seema, Ralph Wahler, Big
