WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:04.240 The game is over, Paul George money in the pain, but the postgame 2 00:00:04.280 --> 00:00:08.800 reaction has just begun. Kai Letard is so smooth in the mid range. 3 00:00:09.599 --> 00:00:13.720 This is Clippers Locker Room, a recap of today's game and a look ahead 4 00:00:13.759 --> 00:00:18.280 on your hope for La Clippers basketball. And now your host, you, 5 00:00:18.519 --> 00:00:26.839 sir, are a bad man, Adam Ousley. What a game for Big 6 00:00:26.920 --> 00:00:30.600 Zoo is The Clippers win one fourteen to one hundred over the Pacers and he 7 00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:35.560 has thirty one points and twenty nine boards. Welcome into your postgame show. 8 00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:39.320 Coming up, we'll get the second half highlight your post game box scoring more. 9 00:00:39.359 --> 00:00:43.240 But first back to your voice of the Clippers. Noah Eagle no witnessed 10 00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:46.759 some history in downtown Los Angeles today, big time. I mean, he 11 00:00:46.880 --> 00:00:51.479 joins a list of only elite elite company. With the fact that he had 12 00:00:51.479 --> 00:00:55.200 twenty five, twenty five and three, he was one rebound away. I 13 00:00:55.520 --> 00:00:59.079 just still can't believe it. I'm still I'm still upset. I'm not gonna 14 00:00:59.119 --> 00:01:02.320 lie at him. He was rebound away from a thirty thirty game and he 15 00:01:02.439 --> 00:01:07.319 was sicky tack foul. It is what it is, obviously, and they're 16 00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:10.680 much more important things, and the most important thing here is that they get 17 00:01:10.680 --> 00:01:12.439 the win, and he was the biggest reason why they got that win. 18 00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:17.519 But at the same time, you just feel like a missed opportunity was there 19 00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:21.359 for that additional stretch of history. Would have been the first thirty thirty game 20 00:01:21.519 --> 00:01:25.640 in franchise history, already was the first twenty five twenty five game in franchise 21 00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:29.840 history, nearly set the franchise record in rebounding two just three off of that 22 00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:33.560 and one point away from his career high in points at thirty one. He 23 00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:37.799 scored thirty two in that game at Denver last year. I mean, to 24 00:01:37.879 --> 00:01:42.400 me, this is another proof game one that Aviatsa Zubos is one of the 25 00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:48.239 most underrated players in the NBA plane and simple I think he's been underrated four 26 00:01:48.319 --> 00:01:53.879 years, ever since they acquired him from the crosstown rival, and they completely 27 00:01:53.879 --> 00:01:57.040 and he has talked about it a little bit of Oh. At first, 28 00:01:57.120 --> 00:01:59.000 he said, you know what, that's all right, I'm excited, I'm 29 00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:02.000 moving across town. And he heard that what they were saying about him and 30 00:02:02.040 --> 00:02:05.480 how they truly felt, and he's like, well, that's just wrong. 31 00:02:05.879 --> 00:02:08.560 I know him better than that. I know that I value myself much higher 32 00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:12.199 than they value me. And so he's come here with that extra chip on 33 00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:15.960 his shoulder and he's played like it really throughout his Clipper's tenure. That first 34 00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:17.520 year he played through a broken hand at him. I mean, he was 35 00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:21.680 that's him in a nutshell. And that's why when you said nobody deserves it 36 00:02:21.759 --> 00:02:24.599 more, you're absolutely correct. Nobody deserves it more because he plays through pain. 37 00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:28.840 He plays every single game. He's the iron man. He's the anchor 38 00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:32.360 of this team. He never questions anything the coaches say. He just anything 39 00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:36.639 they say, he goes absolutely, I'm gonna go do it with one hundred 40 00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:38.560 and fifty percent effort. And he does that every single night. And so 41 00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:43.560 to see him break out like this with thirty one, twenty nine and three, 42 00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:46.960 it just could not have come for a better person. And now the 43 00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:51.080 question remains, will he have it in him to go after a different thirty 44 00:02:51.159 --> 00:02:53.560 thirty game? Can he get it in a different night? And well, 45 00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:57.120 the Clippers actually decide to maybe start featuring him again a little bit more like 46 00:02:57.159 --> 00:03:00.280 they did towards the end of last season. It was successful then, clearly 47 00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:02.360 it was successful today and it guided them to a big win yeah, the 48 00:03:02.439 --> 00:03:07.159 unsung hero for this squad, but they're singing as praises after the thirty one 49 00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:10.120 and twenty nine performance. Clippers win one fourteen to one hundred over the Pacers. 50 00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:15.680 I thought overall, even just aside from Big Zoo in his activity where 51 00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:20.080 the Clippers ended up with sixty two boards to thirty nine for the Indiana Pacers, 52 00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:23.479 the overall energy out there was different from this group. Yeah, I 53 00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:27.360 would agree with you. I think Norman Powell helps set the tone in the 54 00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:30.479 first half with going attack motor early. So did Terrence Man. He was 55 00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:34.439 great in the first quarter, really got after it early, was making good 56 00:03:34.520 --> 00:03:38.080 smart cuts as well, And overall it felt like the team just did a 57 00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:43.039 good job capitalizing off of Pacer turnovers, recognizing when they had opportunities to run, 58 00:03:43.080 --> 00:03:45.960 even if it wasn't on a turnover, just starting any sort of fast 59 00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:49.960 break they could. Defensively, I thought the energy and movement was outstanding, 60 00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:53.400 and even though the Clippers had eighteen more turnovers, they were more than capable 61 00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:55.080 of overcoming it because of the way they locked in on that side of the 62 00:03:55.080 --> 00:04:00.080 basketball. So overall, good energy game from La no doubt about it. 63 00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:02.319 But more importantly, a good win for the Clippers to get to twelve and 64 00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:06.000 nine. Clippers next game in Portland Tuesday night, first of them back to 65 00:04:06.039 --> 00:04:11.120 back Portland and then in Utah tip time Tuesday against the Blazers at seven. 66 00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:15.520 We'll have Clippers countdown at six. No Ego. Great to have you back 67 00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:18.160 on the call, as we witnessed history with Big Zoo. Great to be 68 00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:21.879 back on the call, and Big Zoo deserves every bit of it. We'll 69 00:04:21.879 --> 00:04:26.959 see it. Can't wait out the safe travels by Fred covering up next second 70 00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:30.959 half highlights. Yeah, it's gonna be a lot of Big Zoo covering up 71 00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:33.240 decks. Clippers went by fourteen over the Pacers.

Where 151 00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:24.480 were you when a Vizza Zubots made a little NBA history made a little franchise 152 00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:28.600 history for this Clippers team as well. No Los Angeles Clipper ever had twenty 153 00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:33.799 five and twenty five in a game. Swin Nader did it in San Diego. 154 00:11:33.879 --> 00:11:37.159 He had twenty eight and twenty seven back in nineteen seventy nine, but 155 00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:41.559 of Vizza Zubots becomes the first Los Angeles Clipper to go for twenty five and 156 00:11:41.639 --> 00:11:46.879 twenty five and would have been the first thirty thirty Clipper, but got a 157 00:11:46.919 --> 00:11:52.279 tough call against him at the end. It was against t J McConnell and 158 00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:56.200 he fouled out of the ball game with just one rebound. Shy of having 159 00:11:56.240 --> 00:12:05.039 that thirty one thirty game on real performance and in a big spot against the 160 00:12:05.039 --> 00:12:09.600 Indiana Pacers who had just won eight of ten. They're the four seed in 161 00:12:09.639 --> 00:12:13.720 the West. Excuse me the East coming in that good and there was a 162 00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:18.440 lot of trade talk Miles Turner could have East. The zoo Bots get moved 163 00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:26.279 Zoobots just dominated this Pacers team and Miles Turner, who had nine points one 164 00:12:26.320 --> 00:12:30.559 of six from the outside, three and nine from the field. Zubots had 165 00:12:30.600 --> 00:12:37.840 at least I was tracking dunks, seven throw downs, at least seven dunks. 166 00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:43.360 He's a certified monster. Fourteen of seventeen from the floor. He had 167 00:12:43.399 --> 00:12:50.279 sixteen and fifteen at the half. The company put himself in of players in 168 00:12:50.399 --> 00:12:54.519 NBA history who had at least fifteen, fifteen and three blocks and one half. 169 00:12:56.159 --> 00:12:58.759 It's Zoo, It's Shack, It's Kevin Garnett, Tim Duncan, Yao 170 00:12:58.799 --> 00:13:03.799 man, and that's it. A Visa Zubots did that in the first half 171 00:13:03.799 --> 00:13:09.000 of this ballgame. Was sixteen, fifteen and three, and then had six 172 00:13:09.000 --> 00:13:11.799 and six in the second or in the third quarter in the second half, 173 00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:18.919 and then had nine and eight in the fourth quarter and was just wrecking the 174 00:13:18.960 --> 00:13:24.519 Indiana Pacers. They couldn't stop him. He had ten rebounds short of as 175 00:13:24.519 --> 00:13:31.159 many boards as the entire Indiana Pacers team with twenty nine. Indiana had thirty 176 00:13:31.240 --> 00:13:35.840 nine boards as a team. And I couldn't be happier for a player than 177 00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:39.799 I am for a Visa Zubots, because this is someone who never complains about 178 00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:45.639 his minutes, his role on the team. No one deserves this more. 179 00:13:46.159 --> 00:13:50.080 He's been the unsung hero. Let's sing his praises. He's been one of 180 00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:52.720 the most underrated players in the game. The Lakers let him go for Mike 181 00:13:52.840 --> 00:13:56.960 Muscala, and then Magic tried to justify it by saying, well of Vizza 182 00:13:58.039 --> 00:14:00.720 Zubots. You see in that first round series against the Goal and Say Warriors, 183 00:14:00.960 --> 00:14:03.919 he couldn't stay on the court because they had to go small. Yeah, 184 00:14:03.960 --> 00:14:07.320 who didn't go small against Golden State to try to match up back then 185 00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:11.759 against that Kevin Durant Golden State team and Zoo was twenty two. Now he's 186 00:14:11.759 --> 00:14:16.440 still just twenty five, playing the best basketball of his career and just had 187 00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:22.080 the best game of his career thirty one, twenty nine and three blocks, 188 00:14:22.120 --> 00:14:24.039 and the Clippers pulled away in the second half with a twenty to seven run 189 00:14:24.519 --> 00:14:28.480 after leading by just two and a half. I mean they needed this dominant 190 00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:35.519 performance. It wasn't just in an inconsequential game against lesser competition. They were 191 00:14:35.559 --> 00:14:39.960 taken on the Pacers and it just lost two in a row. I don't 192 00:14:39.000 --> 00:14:43.720 have Kauhi, Paul George or Luke Nnard didn't look great the last two games, 193 00:14:43.799 --> 00:14:48.519 especially offensively. They score one hundred and fourteen points and hold the Pacers 194 00:14:48.519 --> 00:14:52.960 to one hundred worst team in the league averages one hundred and four points nowadays. 195 00:14:54.159 --> 00:14:58.679 They held the Pacers to twelve points in the third quarter, and while 196 00:14:58.759 --> 00:15:03.000 Zoo finished with just three blocks, technically the amount of shots that he redirected, 197 00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:09.159 I believe they have those numbers on NBA dot com somewhere. He was 198 00:15:09.200 --> 00:15:13.639 a force. He was an intimidator. Okay, maybe that's hard to quantify, 199 00:15:13.080 --> 00:15:18.600 but guys were afraid to go at him in the paint, and on 200 00:15:18.639 --> 00:15:22.519 the other end, he was punishing the Indiana Pacers. I joke with the 201 00:15:22.559 --> 00:15:26.440 old Shack Rebok logo where he's kicking his legs down on a two handed rim 202 00:15:26.519 --> 00:15:31.639 rocker. I say that's a big Zoo. Today it was a fact. 203 00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:37.600 I mean, Shack's never had twenty nine boards in the game before Big Zoo 204 00:15:37.679 --> 00:15:41.440 has. I'm not saying he's as good as Shaquille O'Neill. I'm saying he 205 00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:48.159 had an amazing dominant performance in a critical point of the season. Clippers reached 206 00:15:48.159 --> 00:15:52.360 the twenty five percent mark. They're twenty five percent of the way in to 207 00:15:52.440 --> 00:15:56.360 this twenty twenty two twenty twenty three year. They're down, guys, They're 208 00:15:56.399 --> 00:15:58.279 taking on a good Pacers team after losing two in a row, and Visa 209 00:15:58.360 --> 00:16:03.840 Zubos does this and you could see it from the outset. I'm tweeting early 210 00:16:03.879 --> 00:16:07.759 in the game, Zoo looks different. Zoo's dominating. They're playing through him, 211 00:16:08.399 --> 00:16:11.639 They're featuring him again like they did last season at times when they were 212 00:16:11.679 --> 00:16:15.960 down. Guys. I think we're going to see more of this now. 213 00:16:17.639 --> 00:16:21.480 I think he's earned it. He's earned the more minutes that he's been playing 214 00:16:21.519 --> 00:16:26.240 this year over thirty played thirty six though to get to thirty one and twenty 215 00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:33.679 nine boards and also hit all his free throws. Just an unbelievable, other 216 00:16:33.799 --> 00:16:37.759 worldly effort game from a Visa Zoo Bots and the Clippers overall just rallied around 217 00:16:37.879 --> 00:16:41.799 him. Terrence Mann was an attack mode. He had fourteen, seven and 218 00:16:41.919 --> 00:16:48.440 five. John Wall was great. He had ten ten points but eight assists 219 00:16:48.360 --> 00:16:53.480 and got those ten points on just six shots. Norman Powell had his moments, 220 00:16:53.639 --> 00:16:59.399 had thirteen points in the first half, finished with nineteen. Marcus Morris 221 00:16:59.399 --> 00:17:03.840 had a couple of three pointers in the second half. Reggie Jackson had all 222 00:17:03.840 --> 00:17:06.160 five of his points in the fourth quarter. Didn't have a great game, 223 00:17:06.240 --> 00:17:11.759 doesn't matter a mere coffee, had a crazy and one layup where he was 224 00:17:11.799 --> 00:17:15.440 just reckless, abandoned towards the ram. John Wall had one two in the 225 00:17:15.480 --> 00:17:22.599 first half. Clippers improved at twelve and nine, But what a victory is. 226 00:17:22.640 --> 00:17:26.079 They head out on the road for six of their next seven, starting 227 00:17:26.079 --> 00:17:33.640 Tuesday night against the Portland Trailblazers. Just a great vibe. I'm sure in 228 00:17:33.759 --> 00:17:37.960 that Clipper's locker room we'll hear from Visa Zoobot's coming up and coach lou Let's 229 00:17:37.960 --> 00:17:40.400 get out to Morris and Long Beach. So to start things off, first 230 00:17:40.440 --> 00:17:44.000 year on Clippers Talk, Morris, what's up? Hey, look here, 231 00:17:44.079 --> 00:17:45.559 I'm calling this that list you guys got, well, I got. I'm 232 00:17:45.640 --> 00:17:49.920 questioning that list of thirty rebounds and George Michael needs to be up there. 233 00:17:51.319 --> 00:17:53.240 But gutt me by Pettit and most of the loan stake the list again. 234 00:17:53.279 --> 00:17:56.640 They got to be on that list. And I just want to tell you 235 00:17:56.680 --> 00:17:59.359 something. When Bettman and Robin get back and look out, America. Now 236 00:17:59.400 --> 00:18:03.400 we know we got some muscle in the paint. Get down the zoo man. 237 00:18:06.119 --> 00:18:10.000 All right, Morris Zubats with the first thirty one point twenty nine board 238 00:18:10.039 --> 00:18:12.359 game in the NBA since Dwight Howard did it in twenty eighteen. Kevin Love 239 00:18:12.400 --> 00:18:18.200 did it back in twenty ten with Minnesota, Moses Malone did it in eighty 240 00:18:18.279 --> 00:18:22.160 two. He was the last guy before Kevin Loved did it in twenty ten. 241 00:18:25.039 --> 00:18:27.480 But Aviza Zubots becomes the first Clipper with a twenty five and twenty five 242 00:18:27.519 --> 00:18:32.599 game, one rebound shy the first Clipper to have a thirty thirty game at 243 00:18:32.640 --> 00:18:36.039 least, first Los Angeles Clipper with a twenty five twenty five game and San 244 00:18:36.039 --> 00:18:41.799 Diego swin Nater did it first player with thirty twenty five while shooting eighty percent 245 00:18:41.119 --> 00:18:47.160 from the field since Shack in two thousand and four. And just the history 246 00:18:47.240 --> 00:18:51.319 just goes on and on with a performance like this today from a Visa Zubots. 247 00:18:51.640 --> 00:18:52.759 All right, well all you have a moment, Let's pause ten seconds 248 00:18:52.759 --> 00:19:00.279 for station identification here on AM five seventy LA Sports This LA Clippers Basketball, 249 00:19:00.480 --> 00:19:07.279 AM five seventy KLAC Los Angeles ninety eight seven KYSR HD two Los Angeles and 250 00:19:07.440 --> 00:19:10.720 iHeart radio station. I'm at follow Adam A. You can get to me 251 00:19:10.799 --> 00:19:15.000 also at eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy, Uncle Mark chimed 252 00:19:15.039 --> 00:19:15.960 in and said, Hey, I know this is clipper Stock, but can 253 00:19:15.960 --> 00:19:18.880 you talk a little bit about Haliburton In this game he shoots a flat foot 254 00:19:18.920 --> 00:19:22.799 at three point shot. I've never seen anything like it, you know in 255 00:19:22.799 --> 00:19:26.359 our spat to that with zoobots at thirty one twenty nine. So now it 256 00:19:26.480 --> 00:19:30.079 is clipper Stock. You answered your own question alive. Burton's a great young 257 00:19:30.160 --> 00:19:34.079 player, but today belong to Big Zoo. We'll talk about it more. 258 00:19:34.160 --> 00:19:38.839 You'll hear from him and coach Lou postgame Clippers win one fourteen to one hundred 259 00:19:40.319 --> 00:19:44.000 over the Indiana Pacers. Coming back, we'll get to your phone calls at 260 00:19:44.000 --> 00:19:47.519 eight six six ninety eight seven two five seventy eight six six nine eight seven 261 00:19:47.599 --> 00:19:51.359 two five seventy is the phone number more clipper Stock next, Now you got 262 00:19:51.400 --> 00:19:57.519 it right after this on a five seventy l sports They at the school and 263 00:19:57.640 --> 00:20:04.880 now you've fell Leslie Blu the jump. Henny got it? Count it from 264 00:20:04.960 --> 00:20:10.759 distance? The odds on favorite to hoist the Larry o'bright heavily contested, and 265 00:20:10.799 --> 00:20:18.359 it doesn't matter on the home of your La Clippers yourself. What are you 266 00:20:18.440 --> 00:20:33.480 chooing me? Baby crazy show? I'm picturreing big zooms running up the stairs 267 00:20:33.480 --> 00:20:38.960 like Rocky in Philly today. It happened in Los Angeles though, beats the 268 00:20:40.079 --> 00:20:45.920 zoo Bots with thirty one and twenty nine boards and the Clippers win one fourteen 269 00:20:45.000 --> 00:20:51.880 to one hundred over the Indiana Pacers zoo Bots, just one point shy of 270 00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:55.960 his career high scoring wise sent it last season against the Denver Nuggets. I 271 00:20:56.000 --> 00:20:57.960 want to say, in a back and forth affair against Nikola Yokich. But 272 00:20:59.039 --> 00:21:03.480 after losing to Denver Friday night, Clippers bounced back in a huge way against 273 00:21:03.519 --> 00:21:07.279 a very good Indiana Pacers team. They win by fourteen as a vizza zu 274 00:21:07.359 --> 00:21:15.079 Bots dominated, patrolled the paint on both ends and just wrecked Indiana's plans. 275 00:21:15.279 --> 00:21:19.319 You know, it was February seventh of twenty nineteen, that was the trade 276 00:21:19.319 --> 00:21:26.640 deadline day, and I remember watching the ticker on the Evil four letter as 277 00:21:26.640 --> 00:21:32.240 the Clippers had already made a big move they brought in. I want to 278 00:21:32.279 --> 00:21:34.240 say, who was it at that time? And they already just traded Tobias 279 00:21:34.279 --> 00:21:38.759 Harris. Now I'm getting that mixed up. But this was the day they 280 00:21:38.839 --> 00:21:45.920 brought in a Vizza Zubots And I'm watching the ticker and the trade came in 281 00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:51.000 late after the bell, and I said, what, that can't be right. 282 00:21:51.200 --> 00:21:52.680 Now, they spelled somebody's name wrong. There's no way the Lakers gave 283 00:21:52.720 --> 00:21:56.599 off of Visas Zuo Bots for Mike Muscala, who never even played a game 284 00:21:56.920 --> 00:22:00.759 with the Clippers and had an ankle injury and wasn't ready to play. There's 285 00:22:00.799 --> 00:22:03.079 no way. That can't be right. That can't be right. That's a 286 00:22:03.160 --> 00:22:07.720 robbery. They're fleecing the league. You can't give away Zoobos for that. 287 00:22:10.440 --> 00:22:15.759 And then he signs to a seven million a yeared contract way out performs that. 288 00:22:15.480 --> 00:22:21.000 They just signed him to another extension, making Hi about eleven million the 289 00:22:21.039 --> 00:22:26.480 next few years. Now, he's been underrated and undervalued and overlooked for so 290 00:22:26.519 --> 00:22:30.519 long, not by the Clippers but by the rest of the league and by 291 00:22:30.559 --> 00:22:36.519 his former team for sure. And at twenty five, he's playing his best 292 00:22:36.519 --> 00:22:41.319 basketball right now, still getting better, still improving, and they're running the 293 00:22:41.400 --> 00:22:45.440 offense through him today. And they did some of it last year when they 294 00:22:45.440 --> 00:22:49.839 were down guys and it worked, they went back to it. Doc Rivers 295 00:22:49.920 --> 00:22:55.359 used to always say the phrase feed the pig. Basically, that was his 296 00:22:55.480 --> 00:22:57.720 saying of if it ain't broke, don't fix it. If they can't stop 297 00:22:57.759 --> 00:23:03.920 it, keep doing it, keep feeding Zuobots. They kept him in the 298 00:23:04.039 --> 00:23:10.440 game late. He had a chance to get the thirty thirty but fouled out 299 00:23:10.680 --> 00:23:14.680 on a Tikie Tech questionable call that the Clippers, if they hadn't already used 300 00:23:14.720 --> 00:23:18.240 their challenge, would have to try to keep Zubats in the game. But 301 00:23:18.480 --> 00:23:22.279 thirty one points, twenty nine boards, Clippers win by fourteen over the Pacers, 302 00:23:22.160 --> 00:23:27.599 and Zoobots just annihilated Indiana on the interior, as did the Clippers overall. 303 00:23:27.640 --> 00:23:33.240 They had forty two points in the paint in the first half, an 304 00:23:33.279 --> 00:23:38.160 insane number. And remember it's not as if this is coming out of nowhere 305 00:23:38.200 --> 00:23:41.000 of Visa. Zubots has been playing his best basketball all season long. He 306 00:23:41.039 --> 00:23:45.920 has been the best rim protector in the league. These numbers come from from 307 00:23:45.960 --> 00:23:52.240 a few days ago, but I know he's still number one. A few 308 00:23:52.279 --> 00:23:56.319 days ago he was allowing just forty three percent teams shooting just forty three percent 309 00:23:56.799 --> 00:24:03.119 within six feet of the rim against the Vita Zoobots. The next best guy 310 00:24:03.519 --> 00:24:07.920 when it comes to that rim defense, Christaps porzingis at forty nine percent, 311 00:24:07.559 --> 00:24:11.720 a six percent difference. That's how much better Zubots has been at the rim 312 00:24:11.759 --> 00:24:17.599 than everyone else. It's not hyperbole, it's not an exaggeration. He has 313 00:24:17.640 --> 00:24:21.319 been the best rim protector in the league. It's not Porzingis, it's not 314 00:24:21.400 --> 00:24:30.319 Embid, it's not Brook Lopez. It's Big Zoo tageous in Walnut. You're 315 00:24:30.319 --> 00:24:33.880 on Clippers, Stop with Adam Aslin. What's up? What's up that I'm 316 00:24:33.920 --> 00:24:37.200 a zoobot to the Clippers? Is that the greatest? And I'll look the 317 00:24:37.319 --> 00:24:41.039 magic ever threw? Oh? Why you gotta do magic like that? He's 318 00:24:41.039 --> 00:24:47.519 still my all time favorite player. But you know, should I be like 319 00:24:47.599 --> 00:24:51.200 magic right now and be like, I'm not going to be here for these 320 00:24:51.240 --> 00:24:59.039 magic Johnson the slanderous calls, because look I first guessed it, everyone did. 321 00:24:59.359 --> 00:25:03.039 How could they made away zoo boats from Mike Muscala. It was nuts. 322 00:25:03.599 --> 00:25:07.160 It made no sense. You had him on the cheap, he was 323 00:25:07.240 --> 00:25:11.000 under team control, and then the Clippers kept him around for just seven million 324 00:25:11.039 --> 00:25:15.279 a year, A starting center, a good one. He's been a good 325 00:25:15.359 --> 00:25:18.279 rim protector. This is nothing new. He's just been even more elite right 326 00:25:18.319 --> 00:25:22.000 now. It's it's wild. I'm at a loss for words right now. 327 00:25:22.079 --> 00:25:27.240 Tagus all right, But do you think a little bit of Zoo's motivation was 328 00:25:27.720 --> 00:25:30.960 all that Miles Turner for Zoo back trade that's been going on for a few 329 00:25:32.000 --> 00:25:34.799 years. I don't know. I brought it up early on here in Clippers 330 00:25:34.799 --> 00:25:37.720 talk like I like Miles Turning a lot, and he has been on a 331 00:25:37.799 --> 00:25:41.960 heater, shooting over fifty percent from three in November, but he went just 332 00:25:42.039 --> 00:25:45.920 one of six. And he's a really unique player because he's a rim protector 333 00:25:47.039 --> 00:25:52.160 slash three point shooter, so a three and rim protecting d type of guy. 334 00:25:52.200 --> 00:25:56.240 You just don't see that very often. Somewhat of a surge of Baca, 335 00:25:56.759 --> 00:26:00.799 you could say to his game, but he's not nearly the rim protector 336 00:26:00.119 --> 00:26:07.400 of Visa Zoo bots spin. Yeah, And outside of Zoo's dominating performance, 337 00:26:07.440 --> 00:26:14.319 I've been liking Charrence Man's play of late and him he's been like driving with 338 00:26:14.519 --> 00:26:18.200 authority, and I think he's the best Basseline cutter on the Clippers when he 339 00:26:18.319 --> 00:26:22.279 drives baseline or cuts. Actually he always finds a way to finish. It 340 00:26:22.319 --> 00:26:26.640 seems like that's to give me two points. So he keeps doing that. 341 00:26:26.720 --> 00:26:30.599 And I think if the Clippers can go five hundred, play five hundred without 342 00:26:30.680 --> 00:26:36.119 Kawai PG and Luke, they'll be in good shape when they come back. 343 00:26:36.200 --> 00:26:41.440 So it's it's a little you know, it's a little disheartening when you hear 344 00:26:41.480 --> 00:26:44.920 that Paul George's gonna be out for another few games. But they can just 345 00:26:44.960 --> 00:26:48.559 write out this little storm get everyone back. They're gonna make that push. 346 00:26:48.640 --> 00:26:52.000 Thanks Adam. All right, Tay just well said there, you know what, 347 00:26:52.359 --> 00:26:55.240 I've gone too long. I want to hear from a Visa Zoobots post 348 00:26:55.279 --> 00:26:59.680 game. I know they dumped the gatorade bottles on him. The team jumped 349 00:26:59.720 --> 00:27:03.960 around fun to him rightfully, so they were happy to see him perform like 350 00:27:03.039 --> 00:27:07.799 this. Thirty one points, twenty nine boards. Not a coming out party, 351 00:27:07.880 --> 00:27:11.000 but the best game of his career so far. And I'm sure it 352 00:27:11.039 --> 00:27:15.640 put a lot of people on notice. I see Mike muscala is trending now 353 00:27:15.119 --> 00:27:18.559 on Twitter. That kind of says it all. Here was a Vizza zu 354 00:27:18.599 --> 00:27:25.359 Bots post game on Valley's Sports with Jamie Maggio team to one hundred who was 355 00:27:25.400 --> 00:27:30.480 able to overcome eighteen turnovers and twenty six points off of those giveaways, and 356 00:27:30.720 --> 00:27:38.440 Jamie standing now with the Vizza Zu bats. All right, well do I 357 00:27:38.559 --> 00:27:41.920 saw you come in here today? We're in the Croatian flag on your share. 358 00:27:42.000 --> 00:27:47.200 Croatian gets a big World Cup win this morning over Canada. Clippers get 359 00:27:47.240 --> 00:27:52.960 a big win here this afternoon against the Pacers behind an outstanding performance from you 360 00:27:52.240 --> 00:27:59.599 thirty one points, twenty nine rebounds. The Croatia win for you of the 361 00:27:59.680 --> 00:28:03.680 game this morning inspired me too, you know, to help us win and 362 00:28:14.519 --> 00:28:18.119 that felt good. But you know, hell of a win. We needed 363 00:28:18.200 --> 00:28:22.440 that one h We got a tough growth trip coming up, and you know 364 00:28:22.440 --> 00:28:26.160 I gotta get ready for it. Dude. This is just the eleventh. 365 00:28:26.440 --> 00:28:30.559 Uh, You're just the eleventh player in NBA history Twenty five points, twenty 366 00:28:30.559 --> 00:28:34.680 five rebounds, and three blocks in a game. You saw that the crowd 367 00:28:34.799 --> 00:28:37.279 was giving you the love when you checked out of the game, giving you 368 00:28:37.319 --> 00:28:41.519 that standing ovation. When you went over to the bench. You are having 369 00:28:41.559 --> 00:28:44.400 a conversation with Kawhi. What does he say? He's gonna buy you dinner 370 00:28:44.400 --> 00:28:48.079 tonight, they told me. He told me, I'm the only guy that 371 00:28:48.680 --> 00:28:52.319 past four files pour game but never files because I kept complaining about the files. 372 00:28:52.440 --> 00:28:56.119 But uh, you know, it's it's happy. It's great to have 373 00:28:56.200 --> 00:29:00.000 a this ground behind my back supporting me. I felt great tonight. I 374 00:29:00.359 --> 00:29:04.519 really appreciate it. It's great to see you Zoo having such a game like 375 00:29:04.640 --> 00:29:07.559 this, I mean, best game of your pro career, and it was 376 00:29:07.599 --> 00:29:11.440 awesome to witness it. This Pacers opponent. We knew it was going to 377 00:29:11.519 --> 00:29:15.720 be tough. How did you guys take care of business today? When you 378 00:29:15.799 --> 00:29:18.720 know they're gonna be playing hard, They're gonna be running a lot, shoot 379 00:29:18.720 --> 00:29:22.559 a lot of three. So we were really locked in with that and we 380 00:29:22.720 --> 00:29:26.599 made sure we had to rebound the ball a lot of long rebounds. We 381 00:29:26.680 --> 00:29:30.319 did a good job of that, and after we get a stop with that's 382 00:29:30.319 --> 00:29:32.799 what we do, one of the best defenses in the league. You know, 383 00:29:32.839 --> 00:29:34.880 after we get a stop, we'll make sure we got we got the 384 00:29:34.920 --> 00:29:38.960 advanced passest run and get the easy points. So fun to watch you do 385 00:29:40.039 --> 00:29:41.720 your thing today. Thank you, Zoe, Thank you. All right, 386 00:29:41.759 --> 00:29:45.519 there was a piece of Zoo bots on Valley Sports post game, after he 387 00:29:45.559 --> 00:29:48.640 has thirty one points in twenty nine boards, he becomes the sixth player to 388 00:29:48.680 --> 00:29:55.680 record thirty points twenty five boards while shooting eighty percent in NBA history. He 389 00:29:55.799 --> 00:30:00.839 joins five Hall of famers Will Chamberlain, Shaquille O'Neil, Charles Barkley's Zatch Sanders, 390 00:30:00.920 --> 00:30:04.880 and Bob Pettit Wilt did it ten times. Of course, the inconvenient 391 00:30:04.880 --> 00:30:08.160 truth is they played at breakneck speed and had thirty more possessions per game to 392 00:30:08.160 --> 00:30:11.480 build up stats back then. But nobody wants to talk about that. I 393 00:30:11.519 --> 00:30:18.119 will beats the zoobots. Will Chamberlain ask like performance cleaning the glass twenty nine 394 00:30:18.200 --> 00:30:25.880 boards almost had the thirty and thirty game Clippers win one fourteen to one hundred 395 00:30:25.920 --> 00:30:27.079 over the Pacers. Coming back.

They had 403 00:31:00.720 --> 00:31:06.559 to get cutting minto Anything I got is not a rizal. Clippers win one 404 00:31:06.720 --> 00:31:11.440 fourteen to one hundred on the back of Big Zoo, who had thirty one 405 00:31:11.480 --> 00:31:15.519 points and twenty nine rebounds. Welcome back into Clippers stock. I'm Outam Moslin 406 00:31:15.920 --> 00:31:19.480 eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy eight six six ninety eight seven 407 00:31:19.519 --> 00:31:23.960 two five seventy is the phone number gets me at follow Adam A still to 408 00:31:25.039 --> 00:31:27.759 come. We'll have Charles Mockler on from clips in Dip. We got coach 409 00:31:27.880 --> 00:31:33.279 Lou Audio coming up in this very segment. But Zubos a career high and 410 00:31:33.640 --> 00:31:37.240 NBA season high twenty nine boards, a career high and NBA season high twelve 411 00:31:37.279 --> 00:31:41.960 offensive rebounds three shy the Clippers all time mark for rebounds thirty two from swin 412 00:31:42.079 --> 00:31:47.799 Nater in San Diego. Two shy of the Clippers mark for offensive rebounds. 413 00:31:47.799 --> 00:31:53.839 Michael Cage had fourteen in a game before an unbelievable effort from a Visa Zubos, 414 00:31:55.400 --> 00:31:57.319 but some other guys really stepping up for this team right now. Powell 415 00:31:57.319 --> 00:32:02.039 has been averaging over twenty points per game in his last five and you know, 416 00:32:02.079 --> 00:32:05.920 we talked about the Pacers and their three points shooting, and they put 417 00:32:05.960 --> 00:32:10.240 up forty per game. They had a season low, as did the Clippers 418 00:32:10.279 --> 00:32:16.359 of three point field goals in this one. Just a really dominating performance in 419 00:32:16.400 --> 00:32:20.519 the second half by the Clippers as they held the Pacers to twelve points in 420 00:32:20.559 --> 00:32:25.160 that third quarter, and a Vitza Zoobots just punished the Pacers. He was 421 00:32:25.359 --> 00:32:32.480 fierce, He was intense and intent on getting a slam every time down and 422 00:32:32.559 --> 00:32:37.720 guys were looking for him. Clippers finished with thirty three assists I believe, 423 00:32:37.359 --> 00:32:42.440 second most assists in a game on the season. John wall I thought was 424 00:32:42.480 --> 00:32:45.440 really good, played within himself more, just took six shots to get ten 425 00:32:45.519 --> 00:32:50.359 points and had those eight assists to just three turnovers. But he was coach 426 00:32:50.440 --> 00:32:53.440 low post game on the victory. Clippers win one fourteen to one hundred over 427 00:32:53.440 --> 00:33:00.079 the Indiana Pacers. How do you put into words what he did tonight today? 428 00:33:00.279 --> 00:33:02.240 Yeah, I keep forgetting the daytime too, But now he was great. 429 00:33:02.599 --> 00:33:07.440 I thought I did a great job of just really controlling the paint and 430 00:33:07.559 --> 00:33:08.720 our guys. You know, that's what team's all about, you know, 431 00:33:08.720 --> 00:33:13.039 when you have a guy's going like that happened a game like that, to 432 00:33:13.079 --> 00:33:15.480 continue to keep going to him and feature him, and so you know, 433 00:33:15.480 --> 00:33:19.119 it's good to see our team very happy for him, very supportive, and 434 00:33:19.480 --> 00:33:22.039 you know, we talked about him getting more open toive rebounds and he comes 435 00:33:22.039 --> 00:33:24.599 out can get twelve offensive rebounds. But it was great and it's you know, 436 00:33:24.720 --> 00:33:28.119 just happy for Zoo for the for the rest of the team. There 437 00:33:28.119 --> 00:33:31.079 seems like the floor was stretched a little bit better in the second half, 438 00:33:31.079 --> 00:33:36.599 did you see. I thought I thought our spacing was great tonight. Thought 439 00:33:36.640 --> 00:33:38.839 we did a great job of just pushing the pace, attacking early, you 440 00:33:38.839 --> 00:33:44.000 know, John Wall his paint attacks and getting guys open shots. Team man 441 00:33:44.039 --> 00:33:47.480 attacking early, advanced passes to Amy who attacked early. But you know, 442 00:33:47.559 --> 00:33:52.519 having thirty three assists on forty two Mayfield goals and sixty six points in the 443 00:33:52.519 --> 00:33:53.720 paint, you know, that's huge for us. And so we didn't shoot 444 00:33:53.720 --> 00:33:57.440 the ball great, you only six for thirty two from three, but we 445 00:33:57.480 --> 00:34:00.200 did attack the rim, got to the basket shooting thirty two free throws, 446 00:34:00.240 --> 00:34:04.440 and so it was a great game. You know, those are one of 447 00:34:04.480 --> 00:34:06.839 the games where you don't shoot whill but you still win the game. And 448 00:34:06.839 --> 00:34:10.800 it was good to see type. Before the game, we talked about some 449 00:34:10.880 --> 00:34:14.880 of the Zoo workload, and you didn't play any small ball at all today. 450 00:34:15.239 --> 00:34:16.800 I was just doing Moses. I guess what led you kind of to 451 00:34:17.519 --> 00:34:21.159 go on with with no small ball at all and trusting Moses born in those 452 00:34:21.159 --> 00:34:23.480 minutes, just to see what it looked like. You know, we had 453 00:34:23.519 --> 00:34:28.719 a twenty games sample and twenty one a day, so just trying some different 454 00:34:28.760 --> 00:34:32.199 things and giving Moses the opportunity because he's done, he's been working hard and 455 00:34:32.199 --> 00:34:36.599 he's done some good things for us, and so just to get a look 456 00:34:36.599 --> 00:34:37.440 at it and see how it looked. And it was. It was pretty 457 00:34:37.480 --> 00:34:40.000 good. And like I said, you know, Zoo was just dominant. 458 00:34:40.039 --> 00:34:43.400 I thought our team played, you know, good basketball. You know, 459 00:34:43.440 --> 00:34:45.280 we got a lot of great shots and we didn't make a lot of them, 460 00:34:45.280 --> 00:34:47.679 but we played the right way. And at what point did you realize 461 00:34:47.719 --> 00:34:52.519 you had a real chance of that thirty thirty uh mark before he found out 462 00:34:52.840 --> 00:34:59.320 he shouldn't. I don't know. I shouldn't have thought about guys will tell 463 00:34:59.320 --> 00:35:00.880 me about it. But should have just let him go. He shouldn't have 464 00:35:00.920 --> 00:35:08.199 fouled. He should have TJ scores Yeah, yeah, hey ty uh. 465 00:35:08.519 --> 00:35:15.800 Not a bad night for Zoo post ups though. On what did you see 466 00:35:15.800 --> 00:35:19.119 out of the defense in the second half, because Indiana began the third quarter 467 00:35:19.199 --> 00:35:21.800 and into the fourth, I believe they missed their first fourteen three point at 468 00:35:21.840 --> 00:35:23.719 times in the second half. What did you like out of your defense in 469 00:35:23.760 --> 00:35:27.519 the second half. I thought we did a good job of just contesting. 470 00:35:28.239 --> 00:35:31.239 They did a great job of moving without the basketball with Buddy Yield and you 471 00:35:31.280 --> 00:35:35.360 know Halliburton and so we knew we had to stay locked in. I thought 472 00:35:35.400 --> 00:35:37.679 t Man, the mayor, did a great job when those guys are just 473 00:35:37.039 --> 00:35:42.000 you know, making sure we don't relax for a second and giving those guys 474 00:35:42.000 --> 00:35:45.599 easy shots. And we did a good job because contesting everything came into the 475 00:35:45.639 --> 00:35:47.119 game and that was a gay plan and make sure we did a good job 476 00:35:47.159 --> 00:35:52.639 with those two guys. And I thought we did pretty good. You said 477 00:35:52.639 --> 00:35:55.079 over the last couple of years, like how much you've needed to find ways 478 00:35:55.159 --> 00:36:00.519 motivate Zoo at one time, showing them how you had a dunking college and 479 00:36:00.039 --> 00:36:04.639 that's why Zoo needs to dunk more. And uh, what did you tell 480 00:36:04.719 --> 00:36:07.440 him before before this game? It sound like he had a great week going 481 00:36:07.480 --> 00:36:09.000 into this game. Uh, how how did you get him ready to play 482 00:36:09.039 --> 00:36:13.440 tonight? I mean he was just ready to go. We had some conversations 483 00:36:13.440 --> 00:36:15.760 when I was messing with him, but I'm not going to discuss that. 484 00:36:15.440 --> 00:36:19.000 But no, like I said, it's been good for us all year, 485 00:36:19.320 --> 00:36:22.480 you know, and tonight just you know, it was great to see him 486 00:36:22.519 --> 00:36:25.239 rewarded with a big game like this, and all our guys like said, 487 00:36:25.239 --> 00:36:30.199 happy for him and hearing the fans chance Zoo and that's a good feeling. 488 00:36:30.239 --> 00:36:36.079 And so it was just good to see all the players got at least and 489 00:36:36.440 --> 00:36:39.599 one assist. Like how important was sharing the ball during this match out? 490 00:36:39.960 --> 00:36:44.440 It's been very important for us. You know, we understand how we got 491 00:36:44.519 --> 00:36:46.239 to play and you know, getting to the pain, making the right play, 492 00:36:46.320 --> 00:36:50.880 making the right pass and playing for your teammates. And so we've been 493 00:36:50.920 --> 00:36:53.559 preaching that, you know, over the last you know what ten fifteen game, 494 00:36:53.599 --> 00:36:57.159 we'll really start to see him the last ten fifteen games, we've really 495 00:36:57.159 --> 00:37:00.360 been talking about, you know, moving to basketball, get into the paint, 496 00:37:00.400 --> 00:37:02.079 making him play for your teammate. And our guys are getting better, 497 00:37:02.119 --> 00:37:05.480 you know, we you know, steps in the right direction, and we 498 00:37:05.599 --> 00:37:08.400 got continue to keep building on it and on both sides of the basketball. 499 00:37:08.440 --> 00:37:12.079 But offensively, you know, we just gotta continue to make the right play 500 00:37:12.079 --> 00:37:15.480 and we've been doing that as a lake the tired without uh giving away too 501 00:37:15.559 --> 00:37:20.719 much, what did uh you or some of the guys say to Zoo the 502 00:37:20.760 --> 00:37:22.360 moment he got on the bench after that the game he had just like that 503 00:37:22.440 --> 00:37:25.880 first moment, I didn't say much to him, just why are you foul? 504 00:37:27.079 --> 00:37:30.559 But but other than that, like I said, I was happy for 505 00:37:30.639 --> 00:37:32.639 Zoo, you know, and everything's been to this team and you know, 506 00:37:32.840 --> 00:37:46.239 guy to plays every night and I'm sorry interception, Yeah, yeah, just 507 00:37:46.320 --> 00:37:50.400 you know, happy for him, and like I said, our guys being 508 00:37:50.440 --> 00:37:52.960 happy for Zoo as well, like I said, posting them more, trying 509 00:37:52.960 --> 00:37:54.840 to get him thirty points and you know, boxing out so you know he 510 00:37:54.880 --> 00:37:59.760 could rebound the ball. And so it was just good to see. There 511 00:37:59.800 --> 00:38:02.440 were Coach lou post game after the Clippers one fourteen to one hundred victory, 512 00:38:02.480 --> 00:38:08.840 whereas Viza Zubas has thirty one and twenty nine boards. Clippers was sixty six 513 00:38:09.400 --> 00:38:13.239 points in the paint. Talk about get to the paint or die trine. 514 00:38:13.320 --> 00:38:19.079 They had forty two at the half. They average just forty three per game 515 00:38:19.119 --> 00:38:22.960 and they almost had that at the half. What a performance. Coming up 516 00:38:22.000 --> 00:38:25.760 next, we'll get to Charles Mockler from Clips and Dip. We'll do some 517 00:38:25.800 --> 00:38:31.360 double dip here on Clippers talk on M five seventy l sports, same old 518 00:38:31.440 --> 00:38:36.800 campers, maybe shoot only nine Chang Bubba Limp can't stop chasing my name on 519 00:38:36.880 --> 00:38:45.639 the climp Cammy chamb Last time that I check my neck, last time that 520 00:38:45.719 --> 00:38:49.320 I checked. The only other player in NBA history to have this stat line 521 00:38:49.360 --> 00:38:53.360 of thirty one twenty nine three blocks and fourteen of seventeen shooting would be Kareem 522 00:38:53.400 --> 00:38:59.920 Abdul Jabbar a Visa Zubats joins him. No, you calls him Zoo, 523 00:39:00.039 --> 00:39:04.599 I'll send her for a reason. Clippers waged one fourteen to one hundred over 524 00:39:04.679 --> 00:39:10.119 the Indiana Pacers. As Big Zoo goes off career highs twenty nine boards, 525 00:39:10.599 --> 00:39:15.360 wasn't eighteen? He well Eclips that was one point shy his career high scoring 526 00:39:15.480 --> 00:39:19.920 wise with thirty one, and the Clippers win by fourteen. You know the 527 00:39:20.039 --> 00:39:23.519 music though, that means we got some Clips and Double Dip. As Charles 528 00:39:23.599 --> 00:39:29.000 Mockler from Clips and Dip joins the show, he pads with myself and William 529 00:39:29.039 --> 00:39:35.119 Updyke. Charles, what's good? I mean everything about Zubos the game was 530 00:39:35.159 --> 00:39:37.719 good. I don't I'm not. I've seen some crazy things at once m 531 00:39:37.760 --> 00:39:42.920 Clippers game, but I think Zoo getting thirty one and twenty nine and then 532 00:39:43.039 --> 00:39:45.519 fouling out on a very soft call is one of the crazier things we saw. 533 00:39:45.639 --> 00:39:52.719 Just an unbelievable performance, and fittingly it's against the team who has a 534 00:39:52.800 --> 00:39:55.119 center that some Clippers fans really wants try and make a trade for, who 535 00:39:55.559 --> 00:40:00.199 got shut down for the majority of this game. So all in all, 536 00:40:00.519 --> 00:40:04.719 just very happy that we got this win in this particular fashion. Clippers win 537 00:40:04.760 --> 00:40:07.519 one fourteen to one hundred over the Pacers. And you know, they featured 538 00:40:07.679 --> 00:40:12.840 him early in the game, just like they did last season at times when 539 00:40:12.880 --> 00:40:15.559 they were down a lot of players, and he showed that he was capable 540 00:40:15.639 --> 00:40:20.719 more than capable of running the offense through him at times in Spurts. Obviously 541 00:40:20.800 --> 00:40:23.760 it was more than just Spurs today, but a Vita Zubats his game has 542 00:40:23.800 --> 00:40:28.920 evolved so much the past couple of years. It really has. And I 543 00:40:29.000 --> 00:40:31.079 think one thing that's really crazy about this performance is, you know, he 544 00:40:31.159 --> 00:40:36.239 had an insane first quarter and then that first half he had sixteen and fifteen 545 00:40:36.760 --> 00:40:38.320 and I think a lot of us, myself included, were kind of like, 546 00:40:39.079 --> 00:40:43.199 okay, like what is his final statline going to because I'm not sure 547 00:40:43.199 --> 00:40:45.480 he's going to be able to double it up, And then he did. 548 00:40:45.559 --> 00:40:49.639 He didn't miss a shot the second half at all. He had fourteen more 549 00:40:49.679 --> 00:40:53.960 awards, he had two assists. It was just incredible to see. And 550 00:40:54.159 --> 00:40:58.679 it's just nice because we've had to lean on Zoo in a lot of ways 551 00:40:58.960 --> 00:41:00.800 over the last couple of season, and I think if you're Zoobots, you 552 00:41:00.880 --> 00:41:05.119 know, when you get Kawai and PG and those guys are out, you're 553 00:41:05.159 --> 00:41:07.960 missing your best pick and roll partner, right Like, we all know how 554 00:41:07.039 --> 00:41:10.000 good the Kawai and Zoo pick and roll can be. So he's got to 555 00:41:10.039 --> 00:41:14.400 do a little bit of extra stuff kind of consistently, and he did all 556 00:41:14.480 --> 00:41:17.239 of the extra stuff tonight, excuse me today, for the entirety of the 557 00:41:17.280 --> 00:41:22.079 thirty five minutes he was out there. So you mentioned the assists. He 558 00:41:22.159 --> 00:41:25.480 had a really nice assist to Terrence Man who was cutting through the lane in 559 00:41:25.519 --> 00:41:29.519 the first half. And Man had himself a really good game last five now 560 00:41:29.639 --> 00:41:32.000 average in fourteen, I want to say it over sixty percent shooting. He 561 00:41:32.119 --> 00:41:36.639 had seven boards and five assists as well, and it looked like he got 562 00:41:36.679 --> 00:41:38.480 banged up at one point, fell on his backside, but then had a 563 00:41:38.519 --> 00:41:43.599 baseline dunk not long after that. I mean, Terrence Man and the juice 564 00:41:43.800 --> 00:41:47.519 that he has been playing with has been special too. When Terrence is confident, 565 00:41:47.599 --> 00:41:51.599 I think, if you've watched the Clippers team over this last handful of 566 00:41:51.679 --> 00:41:53.519 years, if you're a new fan or something like that, the difference in 567 00:41:53.639 --> 00:42:00.519 confident Terrence and trying to think about every possible outcome Terrence is and day. 568 00:42:00.000 --> 00:42:02.440 You know, he went over three from three, but that's fine. If 569 00:42:02.480 --> 00:42:06.679 he's only taken three three pointers, I'm perfectly happy. He can still put 570 00:42:06.719 --> 00:42:10.360 up stat line like fourteen seven and five just on twos and getting to the 571 00:42:10.440 --> 00:42:15.400 line and things like that. So you love to see the decisiveness him starting 572 00:42:15.440 --> 00:42:19.440 with the mirror who I wouldn't have the strongest game offensively, but stings just 573 00:42:19.599 --> 00:42:22.039 work with Terrence in the mirror out there together when Terrence is, you know, 574 00:42:22.199 --> 00:42:28.119 playing decisively like he did today. I thought John Wall also had a 575 00:42:28.239 --> 00:42:30.880 really good game and came out with the right mindset, which was he's going 576 00:42:30.920 --> 00:42:35.400 to make the extra pass and get other guys involved, and then if they 577 00:42:35.480 --> 00:42:37.800 kick it back to him and he has a wide open catch and shoot look 578 00:42:37.880 --> 00:42:40.519 from three, he'll take it. And he didn't make one off a pass 579 00:42:40.559 --> 00:42:45.400 for Marcus Moore's after he fed him. I just like the mindset of Okay, 580 00:42:45.440 --> 00:42:49.840 I gotta be the playmaker here. And he did finish with eight assists 581 00:42:50.400 --> 00:42:53.480 but had ten points on just six shots. I think if he could average 582 00:42:53.519 --> 00:42:58.159 something close to that ten and eight, I think that would be huge for 583 00:42:58.280 --> 00:43:04.199 Wall. That would be fantastic for Will and fantastic for the Clippers too. 584 00:43:04.639 --> 00:43:07.480 If he could get you around that six and a half assist marks an average, 585 00:43:07.679 --> 00:43:10.239 it means that the ball is moving well. We're a little rough and 586 00:43:10.280 --> 00:43:15.000 transition this game. This was kind of a weird game all in all, 587 00:43:15.079 --> 00:43:19.119 other than Zoo just completely dominating the Pacers. But you're right, I think 588 00:43:19.159 --> 00:43:22.679 walls decision making was good. I still get stressed anytime he takes a three 589 00:43:22.719 --> 00:43:24.920 pointer with more than you know, eight seconds or something like that on the 590 00:43:24.960 --> 00:43:29.920 shot clock, but it looks like this adjustment period has been going well for 591 00:43:30.039 --> 00:43:34.280 him. And the Clippers have a long away road trip coming up to close 592 00:43:34.320 --> 00:43:37.320 out this year, and I think a nice thing about these long away road 593 00:43:37.400 --> 00:43:43.159 trips is excuse me a taxi to open up December. Guys just have to 594 00:43:43.239 --> 00:43:45.760 be together, you know, And I think we're kind of seeing some growing 595 00:43:45.800 --> 00:43:49.840 pains get worked out, and during this trip, I'm just happy everyone's gonna 596 00:43:49.840 --> 00:43:52.280 be together trying and work out some of these new good wrinkles that are getting 597 00:43:52.280 --> 00:43:54.679 added in, but still things you kind of have to figure out how they 598 00:43:54.760 --> 00:44:00.360 fit. And nonetheless, somebody else who doesn't necessarily put up big staff lines. 599 00:44:00.400 --> 00:44:04.880 Unless you look at the plus minus Nicholas Batum he had just four points. 600 00:44:05.000 --> 00:44:07.440 He did have eight boards than this one. A couple assists at a 601 00:44:07.719 --> 00:44:12.159 huge block that led to an a mere coffee transition bucket. And I don't 602 00:44:12.199 --> 00:44:15.480 think I've seen Nick Batoum get up that high so far this season and some 603 00:44:15.599 --> 00:44:19.199 people are saying early on, oh, he doesn't look the same, and 604 00:44:19.239 --> 00:44:22.039 then he goes seven of seven from three in a game. He's still been 605 00:44:22.079 --> 00:44:25.320 struggling since then from distance, but the movement and activity picking up guy's full 606 00:44:25.400 --> 00:44:30.719 court. He looks very different the last couple of weeks. Yeah, something 607 00:44:30.760 --> 00:44:35.000 seems to have changed with his ramping up or something like that. But his 608 00:44:35.400 --> 00:44:39.639 defensive intensity is just kind of infectious. Like that second quarter which Clippers Him's 609 00:44:39.679 --> 00:44:44.440 no is quite literally our worst quarter, and I think we're the worst minus 610 00:44:44.480 --> 00:44:47.480 seventeen. Yeah, they are, yeah, in second quarters, but toumb 611 00:44:47.559 --> 00:44:52.480 does plays like this and it ignites everyone else. I love when Nick Batum 612 00:44:52.559 --> 00:44:55.360 will start sometimes because we'll always see him kind of poke away a loose ball 613 00:44:55.480 --> 00:45:00.159 or something like that, just something that kind of jump start the idea of 614 00:45:00.320 --> 00:45:02.960 giving this extra effort on defense. Not that guys aren't doing it, but 615 00:45:04.079 --> 00:45:07.480 seeing someone like Batum who does play in very limited minutes and has to be 616 00:45:07.559 --> 00:45:12.719 efficient, still able to put up the energy to do things like grab seven 617 00:45:12.800 --> 00:45:16.440 defensive boards or sky for kind of an absurd block and get a steal just 618 00:45:16.559 --> 00:45:21.519 permeates the rest of the guys and makes them want to follow suit Clippers one 619 00:45:21.679 --> 00:45:25.719 fourteen to one hundred over the Indiana Pacers in a game where Viza Zoobots makes 620 00:45:25.719 --> 00:45:31.639 a little individual franchise in NBA history. Thirty one points and twenty nine boards. 621 00:45:31.840 --> 00:45:36.000 Charles, thanks for doing this here on Clippers stock a little clips and 622 00:45:36.000 --> 00:45:38.800 double dip. Always love the clips and double dip. And here's to maybe 623 00:45:38.840 --> 00:45:42.719 one more thirty and thirty game for three for the rest of the season. 624 00:45:43.000 --> 00:45:45.159 Yes, sir, that's all the ref did. Just lit a fire under 625 00:45:45.159 --> 00:45:50.000 a big zoo. He still has to get that thirty rebound game in him. 626 00:45:50.840 --> 00:45:53.639 I wouldn't be shocked. Clippers next game coming up Tuesday night against the 627 00:45:53.679 --> 00:45:57.679 Portland Trail Blazers in Portland, first game of a back to back. They'll 628 00:45:57.719 --> 00:46:02.000 be in Utah on Wednesday tip time Tuesday against the Blazers seven seven pm. 629 00:46:02.079 --> 00:46:06.159 For that one, we'll have your Clippers count Down pregame show starting at six 630 00:46:06.320 --> 00:46:07.760 before we get out of here.
