1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,320
I told you hashtag comeback Clips if
you're following me at fallout of May,

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:07,240
I said it. In the first
half the Clippers were down by twenty.

3
00:00:07,839 --> 00:00:10,919
They come through and win once twenty
two to one, sixteen in Houston over

4
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:15,199
the Rockets. Let's get out to
him. It's Will Updyke of Clips and

5
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:20,800
Dip Fame joining the show post game. Will Who do you give more credit

6
00:00:20,879 --> 00:00:25,079
to? Coach Lou Mason, Plumbley, Kawhi, the Bearded Wonder, Paul

7
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:28,000
George waking up in the second half? How are the Clippers able to pull

8
00:00:28,039 --> 00:00:32,079
this off? Oh man? All
of the above, but I think it

9
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:35,759
starts with Kawhi. You know,
he's often not times the vocal guy.

10
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:39,840
He leads by example, but it's
clear that that did have an effect,

11
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:43,439
and it's just you know, whoever
is. Like I said, it's a

12
00:00:43,439 --> 00:00:46,960
combination of all the above. But
it's nice to be on the other side

13
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:49,759
of one of these. It felt. It feels like it's been a little

14
00:00:49,759 --> 00:00:54,240
while we've normally been the ones coffee
up leads of leads. But yeah,

15
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:59,200
I mean, Paul George was great
in the fourth after after not a great

16
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:03,320
first half. But I was I
mean, I think we don't give him

17
00:01:03,399 --> 00:01:06,840
enough credit. I mean, certainly, I don't know that he's been deserving

18
00:01:06,879 --> 00:01:11,439
of it necessarily, but Mason Plumby, uh certainly set the tone and turn

19
00:01:11,519 --> 00:01:15,359
things around in this game, uh
in a way that was just very evident,

20
00:01:15,599 --> 00:01:19,000
very clear, and a guy who
has really been struggling since returning to

21
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:23,519
the rotation. You gotta wonder what's
going on with Zoo. You know the

22
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:27,480
possible implications with that. But I
do want to speak on that will because

23
00:01:27,519 --> 00:01:32,439
I just saw this from lat Murray
post game right there, Coach Lou said

24
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:36,920
Aviza Zoo bots had headaches and wasn't
breathing well. They did not want to

25
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:41,799
risk him playing after the first half, So prayers up to Big Zoo.

26
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,560
I hope he gets right over the
next couple of days off. But continue

27
00:01:45,599 --> 00:01:51,560
here. Well, uh yeah,
so stepping in like stepping in obviously huge

28
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:56,599
shoes to fill. But I thought
Zoo didn't look one hundred percent correct,

29
00:01:56,959 --> 00:01:59,159
just washing. I mean, he's
just one of four from the floor.

30
00:01:59,319 --> 00:02:02,000
It seemed like there was Yeah,
it seemed like there was some issue getting

31
00:02:02,079 --> 00:02:05,719
up and down the court. So
I was actually worded that it was related

32
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,639
to the calf thing, but hopefully, I mean hopefully if it's a like

33
00:02:08,719 --> 00:02:13,400
illness related it it's just something,
just something momentary. I mean, all

34
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,680
this travel, you can imagine it
takes a toll on your body, especially

35
00:02:15,719 --> 00:02:19,439
if you're if you're trying to get
right physically to begin with. You know,

36
00:02:19,719 --> 00:02:23,719
yeah, no doubt. Mason Plumbley
comes in fills in admirably and what

37
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:27,199
a move by coach lou instead of
just starting Daniel Tyson in the second half.

38
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,240
Some of that may have been because
of foul trouble, but Mason Plumbley

39
00:02:30,599 --> 00:02:32,800
got his opportunity, and sometimes that's
all it takes. You get a little

40
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:36,879
bit of a reset you step away
from the game. He hadn't played the

41
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,639
last two for the Clippers, and
it was a completely different Mason Plumbley than

42
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:44,960
what we had seen for the most
part since he came back from that knee

43
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,159
injury. Oh and by the way, he turned thirty four yesterday, so

44
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:53,080
it was his birthday game out there, Mason Plumbley, and he performed That

45
00:02:53,319 --> 00:02:58,759
was maybe his best performance as a
Clipper considering I think he was the head

46
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:00,240
of the spear when it came to
this come back. He was the driving

47
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:05,360
force oh absolutely. I mean,
do we have to celebrate his name?

48
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:07,000
Do we have to celebrate his birthday
for the next month and a half?

49
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,759
But what do we do with that
a birthday month like some of the girls

50
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:16,479
on Super Sweet sixteen on MTV.
I mean, if he could keep this

51
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:22,280
up, he's well deserving. But
yeah, a huge, huge typic of

52
00:03:22,319 --> 00:03:24,759
the caps to tyl with that,
and I do think I mean, while

53
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:28,639
so much of it has been due
to his hand being forced, we have

54
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:30,520
seen a lot of different lineups,
We have seen a lot of experimentation,

55
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:37,759
and look, while the results have
been less than stellar, there's so many

56
00:03:37,759 --> 00:03:43,240
contributing factors with that, with you
know, both the absences and sort of

57
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,719
the lessurgy that hits in the middle
of the season. But it was good

58
00:03:45,759 --> 00:03:47,719
to see them lock in in this
game. I feel like I've been saying

59
00:03:47,759 --> 00:03:51,879
this like the last couple of good
wins. I mean, certainly since the

60
00:03:51,919 --> 00:03:55,319
Timberwolves win. But I hope that
this is like what it takes to lock

61
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:59,919
in and like just just see something
a little bit more cohesive out there.

62
00:04:00,599 --> 00:04:04,840
Obviously they're not going to be perfect, I'm not expecting that, but it's

63
00:04:04,879 --> 00:04:08,719
got to clean up. No,
it's true, and they have to be

64
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,960
much more consistent than this. But
how much does this I don't know.

65
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,519
Calm your fears is a lot of
people have been talking about these collapses by

66
00:04:15,519 --> 00:04:20,319
the Clippers too in a five days
stretch, and this time they come up

67
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:25,160
huge in the fourth quarter. They
put up forty two points on the Houston

68
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,040
Rockets after the Milwaukee Bucks, I
believe, have forty one in the fourth

69
00:04:28,079 --> 00:04:31,720
quarter against the Clippers Monday night.
Yeah, I mean, it's nice to

70
00:04:31,759 --> 00:04:35,199
have the momentum shift the opposite way. Like I said, they kick it

71
00:04:35,199 --> 00:04:39,759
off to not be on the on
the tail end of that. But you

72
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,920
know, bottom line is they were
playing a team. On the second hand,

73
00:04:42,959 --> 00:04:46,360
it was back to that. I
know that the Rockets were at home.

74
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:47,879
That's just not a situation you should
be in. That's not a team.

75
00:04:47,959 --> 00:04:50,800
That's not a situation this team can
afford to be in. And there's

76
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:57,680
only so many, you know,
there's only so many second quarter pep talks

77
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,040
that your star player can give,
you know what I mean. Things got

78
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,279
to look a little bit better from
the jump. It's it's a good win.

79
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,079
They gritted one out. It would
have been easy to kind of roll

80
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:11,560
over, especially given the terrible weekend
that we have ahead of us. But

81
00:05:12,199 --> 00:05:15,079
I hope that this is like I
hope that they can kind of put one

82
00:05:15,079 --> 00:05:17,279
foot in front of the other after
this win, you know what I mean.

83
00:05:17,319 --> 00:05:19,800
They got to thread the needle with
this a little bit. It's not

84
00:05:19,959 --> 00:05:25,040
enough to just just to come out
with the with the comeback victory. Yeah

85
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,600
quickly, here will final one for
you. I got get out at the

86
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,560
top. But Paul George, you
know, in that second half he had

87
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,920
two points at the half. I
believe he was one for six. He

88
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:38,199
ends up with twenty one hits two
clutch three pointers in the fourth, has

89
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:42,360
a big rebound, and he did
shoot it well overall to missing some free

90
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:46,560
throws late in that game on Monday
against Milwaukee. Is there hope for the

91
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:51,319
PG thirteen turnaround? Are we starting
to see it now? Oh? I

92
00:05:51,319 --> 00:05:56,360
mean there's there's gotta be right.
He just has not been at that level

93
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,920
that we saw him to start the
season, you know, and for a

94
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,720
it's a long period of time.
It's understandable that there was concern out there

95
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,399
from the fans. I was concerned. I mean, you know, you

96
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:09,759
hear about all this noise about the
contract stuff, and while I don't think

97
00:06:09,759 --> 00:06:14,600
that that's affecting as play, it's
not like those things aren't intertwined. And

98
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,439
you know, we were kind of
talking, like literally we were talking in

99
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,879
this first half with our co host
Charles Marker, like what does a PG

100
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:25,680
extension look like? And then that's
a very different conversation when we get the

101
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:29,720
PG that, to be fair,
we have seen even in the in fourth

102
00:06:29,759 --> 00:06:31,920
quarters, even in this sort of
stretch where he hasn't been you know,

103
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,680
lightning, like the lightning in a
bottle that he was to start the season.

104
00:06:36,439 --> 00:06:41,079
So it's I mean, it's huge
and we need those, you know,

105
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:45,079
we need those sort of performances,
like you know, we got twenty

106
00:06:45,079 --> 00:06:47,959
points or more out of each of
the Big three and that's you know,

107
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:53,000
like I feel like it's been a
while since we've seen all three firing on

108
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:56,720
all cylinders like that. And while
you know, hopefully you don't have to

109
00:06:56,759 --> 00:07:00,560
see that and come from behind victories, you know, maybe we could put

110
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,240
some teams away with a little bit
more ease, it is still good to

111
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,560
see and I'm hoping, you know, once once again, like hopefully this

112
00:07:06,639 --> 00:07:11,839
is the sign of things to come. Not we think that We're over you

113
00:07:11,839 --> 00:07:15,519
know, we're over the hill because
we've you know, we've got this feather

114
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:17,160
in our cap, no doubt.
He had nine points in the fourth quarter,

115
00:07:17,199 --> 00:07:20,879
and I believe Carlo Ameniz said it
when the big three go for twenty

116
00:07:20,879 --> 00:07:25,000
plus in the same game, all
three of them, Clippers are now seven

117
00:07:25,079 --> 00:07:28,120
in Oh, thank you will,
We'll talk to you on the YouTube tomorrow.

118
00:07:29,199 --> 00:07:30,639
Absolutely sounds good. Thank Dov.
