1
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:06,360
The Clippers win one O nine to
one on two and San Antonio over the

2
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:10,640
Spurs on a night where great Popovich, she got on the PA mic told

3
00:00:10,679 --> 00:00:15,039
San Antonio Spurs fans to stop booing
as Kawhi Leonard was at the free throw

4
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:19,440
line. More from Kawhi postgame.
On pop doing that, he said,

5
00:00:19,519 --> 00:00:23,480
quote, I guess he was aiming
it toward me, as people told me

6
00:00:23,519 --> 00:00:25,719
after the game. At the time, I was just in the moment trying

7
00:00:25,719 --> 00:00:29,879
to knock down my free throws.
He did. He also elaborated talking about

8
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:33,039
Spurs fans, quote, one of
the best fans in the league. They're

9
00:00:33,119 --> 00:00:36,359
very competitive, and once I step
on this basketball court out here, they

10
00:00:36,399 --> 00:00:39,280
show that they're going to be for
the other side. When I'm on the

11
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:43,039
streets or going into restaurants, they
show love. So it is what it

12
00:00:43,119 --> 00:00:47,079
is. I like classy all round. I don't have a problem with the

13
00:00:47,079 --> 00:00:50,880
fans doing that. If Pop does, more power to them. He's a

14
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:54,560
legend there. They didn't exactly take
heat or listen to what he said,

15
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:59,240
but uh, it was an interesting
night. Speaking of now, we got

16
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:03,840
Chuck Mockler here on Clippers Talk.
Chuck don't have a lot of time quickly.

17
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:07,400
What did you think about the situation
with Greg Pofovich trying to take control

18
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:11,799
of the crowd. It was a
little surprising. I guess I didn't think.

19
00:01:12,079 --> 00:01:15,920
I'm wondering if he maybe heard something
in the crowd that wasn't a boo

20
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:22,359
that made him do that. It
was a little I mean, unprecedent isn't

21
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,680
the right word. But I think
everyone probably the last time they remember their

22
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:30,480
coach getting on the PA with Doc
doing it for Dirk in a much different

23
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:34,760
scenario. So I mean, I'm
not sure we'll see this happen again.

24
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,519
Ever, maybe, but I guess
shout out to Papovich. It just was

25
00:01:38,599 --> 00:01:42,400
a little confusing, and they really
didn't listen to him, despite him,

26
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:46,879
you know, having the status that
he does. But yeah, I don't

27
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,519
know a bit of a I guess
that's what happens the night before Thanksgiving when

28
00:01:49,519 --> 00:01:53,840
you play an NBA game. People
a little angry right now. They're probably,

29
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:59,239
uh, you know, consuming less
calories the day before the big feast.

30
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,400
I'm doing some of that right now. Is we're getting together meet you

31
00:02:01,439 --> 00:02:08,000
and will Updyke. We're friends on
and off the microphones. Norman Pale suffered

32
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,400
a groin injury, it sounds like, and that was one of the main

33
00:02:10,439 --> 00:02:14,639
reasons that a Mere Coffee got some
run out there. I for one,

34
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:16,680
am not surprised with how well a
Mere Coffee played. It was just good

35
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:20,639
to see him out there on the
court. This is somebody that can contribute

36
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,560
for this team. But a plus
eight in those ten minutes, what'd you

37
00:02:23,599 --> 00:02:27,439
see from a mere I mean,
he saw all the hustle stuff you want

38
00:02:27,439 --> 00:02:30,960
to see from someone who maybe wants
to take or other people want him to

39
00:02:31,039 --> 00:02:36,000
take some of PJ. Tucker's minutes
or something like that. The efficiency was

40
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,759
phenomenal. You know, he's not
going to shoot sixty six percent all the

41
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:44,360
time. But he dove on the
floor to get that steel, which didn't

42
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,000
credit him with the steel, which
I thought, wait, never mind,

43
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:50,120
sorry they did, Which I mean, he's doing exactly what you need a

44
00:02:50,159 --> 00:02:53,199
guy at that spot in the lineup
to do, which is try and make

45
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,319
something out of a little bit of
a sliver of space or something like that.

46
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,800
And it was awesome to see.
He had, you know, a

47
00:02:58,879 --> 00:03:04,159
rough off season, a bit of
a weird Clippers career in general for Amir,

48
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,879
not through any fault of his own. He's played well for the most

49
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,120
part when called upon, but good
stuff. And I think most fans might

50
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:15,360
have been surprised with norm going out
that Bones didn't come in. But I'm

51
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:19,319
wondering if that's because of what we've
seen maybe from PJ. Tucker in some

52
00:03:19,439 --> 00:03:23,159
of the deficiencies, you know,
offensively on the wing slot, which is

53
00:03:23,199 --> 00:03:27,919
why maybe Ty went with the bigger
a mere coffee than Bones. But who

54
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,520
knows what's gonna happen with that.
It doesn't sound like Norman's too beat up

55
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:34,840
from this groin injury. But I
mean, hey, if anything, Amir

56
00:03:34,879 --> 00:03:37,639
made the case for more minutes,
and I think most people want that at

57
00:03:37,639 --> 00:03:39,719
this point. Compared to Tucker out
there, I thought he was the first

58
00:03:39,759 --> 00:03:43,919
guy correct me if I'm wrong,
but coming off the bench in the third

59
00:03:44,039 --> 00:03:49,199
quarter. And it was interesting because
I watched the minutes with PJ. Tucker

60
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:53,039
and Avitza Zubots. I believe there
were a minus one or a minus two

61
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:57,080
in their minutes together, which is
actually a big improvement over what we have

62
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:01,120
seen that Yeah, yeah, that
duo in the front court had been bleeding

63
00:04:01,159 --> 00:04:05,719
points for a while now, so
yeah, it's an interesting wrinkle. Worth

64
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:11,360
monitoring seeing if Emir continues to get
minutes. He is a wing on this

65
00:04:11,439 --> 00:04:15,520
Clippers team. Still, that just
seems to be the forgotten man at times,

66
00:04:15,079 --> 00:04:17,800
speaking of Big Zoo, that Terrence
man, or excuse me, the

67
00:04:17,879 --> 00:04:21,519
James Harden behind the back pass to
him and the pick and roll was unbelievable

68
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:27,319
to beat to Zubots Duncan on Wemby. But James Harden, you know,

69
00:04:27,439 --> 00:04:31,160
nine assists for turnovers, sixteen points, knock down some free throws eventually late.

70
00:04:31,639 --> 00:04:34,639
But the Clippers overall, one of
the talking points coming out of this

71
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:41,160
one is they just have to close
better both halves. They didn't exactly close

72
00:04:41,319 --> 00:04:46,319
in style. Any concern from you
on that front, I don't think so.

73
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:50,560
I think it's hard to remember that
we're still only you know, a

74
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:55,720
few games with this new starting lineup
and things like that. So Tyler is

75
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,480
still trying to figure out the closing
lineups. We saw him swatch swap out

76
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,519
Terrence in Terrence for Russ late,
So I'm not super worried about it.

77
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,480
I know people joke quote unquote,
you know season starts an hour or something

78
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:09,839
like that. The Clippers still have
a whole Addictumuss out of when it comes

79
00:05:09,879 --> 00:05:13,800
to the schedule with a tough or
with their record with a tough upcoming schedule.

80
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:15,439
But there's no better way to figure
out how to close than what the

81
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:20,399
Clippers have on their plate after Thanksgiving. So I hope it gets figured out

82
00:05:20,439 --> 00:05:23,759
soon, but we hope it's figured
out at the right time. To the

83
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,120
most part, quickly give me some
intel on your favorite side dish so I

84
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:31,279
know what to go after first before
it's gone tomorrow. My favorite side dish

85
00:05:31,319 --> 00:05:34,519
is a mashed potatoes and gravy.
I don't think there's a better side dist

86
00:05:34,519 --> 00:05:39,920
than that. Yeah, that's that's
what I go to. Okay, that's

87
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,319
strong green bean cast roles. Where
I'll be at. I'll bring the salad.

88
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,680
It'll be good to see you and
will update will Updike. I am

89
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:51,439
thankful for you guys in the relationship. We've mended off the podcast as well.
