00:00:01.280 --> 00:00:06.280
Time for a postgame. Look,
it's your LA Clippers. This is Clippers

2
00:00:06.400 --> 00:00:10.039
Locker Road, brought to you by
Cedars Sinai, the official health partner of

3
00:00:10.080 --> 00:00:15.160
the LA Clippers, and by Putschonga, official travel casino of the LA Clippers.

4
00:00:15.439 --> 00:00:19.359
Breaking down today's action with the pre
and post game voice. If you're

5
00:00:19.559 --> 00:00:25.719
La Clippers, They're locking in every
game every night. Adam Osland, Well,

6
00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:30.559
the Clippers come back, comes up
short. Seeing two different final scores.

7
00:00:30.600 --> 00:00:33.600
One wants to say one sixteen to
one oh nine, the other is

8
00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:37.159
one sixteen to one oh six.
Either way, the Clippers take the loss,

9
00:00:37.159 --> 00:00:41.359
their first in their last four games. Now, welcome back into Crypto

10
00:00:41.399 --> 00:00:44.240
dot Com Arena for your postgame show. I'm at a Maslin. After the

11
00:00:44.240 --> 00:00:49.119
Clippers fall to the New Orleans Pelicans
here after being down by twenty one in

12
00:00:49.159 --> 00:00:52.920
the first quarter, they would come
back to have a six point lead at

13
00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:56.320
one point in that third, just
to come up short down the stretch where

14
00:00:56.320 --> 00:00:59.399
they were outscored thirty one and twenty
six in the fourth quarter. Before we

15
00:00:59.399 --> 00:01:02.439
get to your radio voice of the
Clippers in Carlo Jimenez, let's pause ten

16
00:01:02.479 --> 00:01:07.480
seconds for station identification here in the
Los Angeles Clippers already a network. This

17
00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:12.840
is LA Clippers Basketball AM five to
seventy KLAC Los Angeles, ninety eight seven,

18
00:01:12.920 --> 00:01:19.079
KYSR HD two Los Angeles and iHeartRadio
Station. Well, Carlo, you

19
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:22.519
get down by twenty one in the
first quarter, you battle back to be

20
00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:25.959
down by just one at the half, you're up early in the third.

21
00:01:26.359 --> 00:01:29.560
But the Clippers just didn't have enough
left in the tank. And quite frankly,

22
00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:32.719
you know, the New Orleans Pelicans
were great, hitting some tough shots

23
00:01:32.719 --> 00:01:36.120
down the stretch. It wasn't even
just Zion in the fourth quarter, Herb

24
00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:40.200
Jones with a big three pointer,
Brandon Ingram with a tough fallaway over two

25
00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:44.400
defenders. They were just a little
bit better in the biggest moments late.

26
00:01:44.959 --> 00:01:49.040
Yeah, they were able to get
to their spots. They had seventeen second

27
00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:55.959
chance points on twelve offensive rebounds,
and were able to dominate in the paint

28
00:01:55.959 --> 00:01:59.239
fifty two points in the paint.
We mentioned they're averaging sixty coming in.

29
00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:02.480
What was interesting, Adam, is
the Clippers felt like they were starting to

30
00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:06.599
come back into this game. They
took the lead. PJ. Tucker was

31
00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:08.439
excellent on an offensive end, and
then the Clippers tried to go small.

32
00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:10.680
It didn't really work out for them. Late in that fourth quarter, they

33
00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:14.960
were unable to find anything going small. The good news with the Clippers is

34
00:02:14.960 --> 00:02:16.240
you play tomorrow and you have a
chance to try to figure it out,

35
00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:20.759
try to get back in the win
column. But this is a New Orleans

36
00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:24.240
team that star power played well tonight, and give them credit. The Clippers

37
00:02:24.240 --> 00:02:28.319
didn't hit threes late when they hit
threes, and at the end of the

38
00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:32.080
day, the New Orleans Pelicans did
Yeah, ten of twenty four from the

39
00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:37.599
outside. For the Pelicans, Clippers
just eleven of thirty seven after starting absolutely

40
00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:42.240
cold seven from the outside. Paul
George had some good looks late, he

41
00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:45.840
couldn't get him to fall. I
thought overall, he fought valiantly out there.

42
00:02:45.919 --> 00:02:49.879
He attacked the basket over and over
again. And I don't know if

43
00:02:49.879 --> 00:02:53.800
this is a Clippers high for him, but thirty attempts getting those thirty four

44
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:59.280
points, obviously the efficiency isn't great, but I don't fault the effort.

45
00:02:59.319 --> 00:03:01.280
I don't fault him being out there
attacking. And he also was looking for

46
00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:05.520
some calls that didn't come his way
in that fourth quarter as well. Yeah,

47
00:03:05.639 --> 00:03:08.439
Clippers, I think a couple times
Adam were on the wrong side of

48
00:03:08.520 --> 00:03:13.960
some no calls driving to the rim. George had two chances to poster down

49
00:03:13.960 --> 00:03:17.280
the lane. PG thirteen has now
attempted fifty three shots in his last two

50
00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:21.960
games. Well, we said we
like an aggressive Paul George. He is

51
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:24.560
showing us that. And look,
if James Harden doesn't have an off night,

52
00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:29.840
Kawhi Leonard takes just sixteen shots.
You know, Norm Powell was great

53
00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:32.599
off the bench, but Russell Westbrook
in his fourteen minutes won for eight a

54
00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:37.199
lot of those shots jumpers and a
couple of three pointers that he missed.

55
00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:38.960
You know, there were a couple
of guys who just had off nights against

56
00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:43.159
a team in the New Orleans Pelicans
where you're gonna need to be at your

57
00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:46.280
best, and the Clippers will have
to be now tomorrow against the Dallas Mavericks.

58
00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:47.639
Yeah, Luca Donc just coming to
town. We saw what he did

59
00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:52.639
in Dallas. They've had a couple
of days off since their last game against

60
00:03:52.680 --> 00:03:55.199
the Lakers, so opportunity for the
Clippers to come away with a win against

61
00:03:55.199 --> 00:03:59.639
the team that has haunted them in
the past. Very similar to this New

62
00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:01.560
Orleans team that's now won four in
a row for only the second time in

63
00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:05.199
franchise history against the Clippers, and
you feel like this is when the Clippers

64
00:04:05.240 --> 00:04:09.520
need. This is gut check time
and your first one, you fell behind

65
00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:14.120
early, you came back, but
you're unable to hang on. Can you

66
00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:16.319
on the back half of a back
to back come away with another victory?

67
00:04:17.160 --> 00:04:21.399
PG Thirty nine minutes, the Cloth
thirty four minutes. Both those are high

68
00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:26.000
numbers. Gonna be a test tomorrow
for the Clippers and a big test to

69
00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:30.720
try to get back to inch towards
five hundred measuring stick opportunity against the Dallas

70
00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:33.839
Mavericks Tomorrow night, tip off at
seven thirty. Right back here with your

71
00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:38.720
pregame show starting at six thirty.
Carlo. It was a fun one,

72
00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:42.319
great call by you. Unfortunately the
Clippers couldn't get the w tonight. Let's

73
00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:45.360
see if they can do it tomorrow. Oh I'm happy we got another one

74
00:04:45.399 --> 00:04:49.000
tomorrow, Adam. It's gonna be
another great show. Some offensive talent,

75
00:04:49.079 --> 00:04:53.600
Kyrie Irving, Luka, Dacic Kawhi, Leonard, Paul George. Let's do

76
00:04:53.639 --> 00:04:57.639
it again. Hot shooting here at
crypto dot Com arena is to be expected.

77
00:04:57.720 --> 00:05:00.680
Clippers fall in this one one sixt
to one oh six. I'm gonna

78
00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:04.680
go with that until somebody corrects me. Clippers drop one to the New Orleans

79
00:05:04.759 --> 00:05:09.639
Pelicans once again in Zion Williamson.
More postgame though coming up next second half

80
00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:15.079
highlight's right here on the Los Angeles
Clippers Audio Network. LA Clippers Basketball is

81
00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:18.639
on the two one three Era continues. You're listening to the LA Clippers on

82
00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:25.560
the LA Clippers Audio Network. Clippers
fall one sixteen to one oh nine here

83
00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:29.959
at home to the New Orleans Pelicans
after being down twenty one points in the

84
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:33.600
first quarter. It was a great
call by Carlo Jimenez. It was a

85
00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:39.680
fun ball game. But the Clippers
have to grab w's right now and they're

86
00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:44.160
taking on some of the best in
the West tomorrow. Right back here against

87
00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:47.839
the Dallas Mavericks. Clippers end up
shooting forty seven percent from the floor,

88
00:05:48.439 --> 00:05:53.759
just twelve of thirty eight from distance. Clippers three point shot has been a

89
00:05:53.759 --> 00:05:57.720
little bit spotty up and down so
far early in the season. They're capable

90
00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:01.000
of shooting much better from distance.
That's just thirty one percent twelve to thirty

91
00:06:01.040 --> 00:06:06.120
eight. Meanwhile, the Pelicans with
ten of twenty four shooting. That's forty

92
00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:11.480
one percent from three, and they
ended up shooting forty nine percent overall from

93
00:06:11.519 --> 00:06:14.160
the floor. They were led by
Zion Williamson. He had nine of his

94
00:06:14.279 --> 00:06:17.800
thirty two points in the fourth quarter. Just a load, A difficult guy

95
00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:23.560
to stop. Clippers threw multiple defenders
at him. I admired the effort.

96
00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:29.519
They did all they could, but
Zion Williamson too big, too strong at

97
00:06:29.519 --> 00:06:32.040
the rim. I'm reminded of him
ripping the ball away from James Harden after

98
00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:36.319
he defended him very well but got
that offensive rebound. They would end up

99
00:06:36.360 --> 00:06:42.399
with twelve of them second chance points
seventeen to sixteen in favor of the Pelicans.

100
00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:45.519
Clippers did have twenty four fast break
points. That was some of their

101
00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:49.079
best offense. Paul George cherry picking
in the fourth quarter. Kawhi Leonard found

102
00:06:49.120 --> 00:06:54.000
him for a long outlet pass.
It was a beautiful Justin Herbert like throw.

103
00:06:54.759 --> 00:06:57.959
And Paul George did have thirty four
points, nine of his coming in

104
00:06:58.000 --> 00:07:00.720
the fourth had a good look at
on a big three pointer where he was

105
00:07:00.759 --> 00:07:04.319
wide open, though could not get
it to go. I think some tired

106
00:07:04.360 --> 00:07:10.000
legs by the Clippers after battling back
down twenty one. That is typically what

107
00:07:10.079 --> 00:07:13.399
happens late. Kawhi Leonard missed some
shots late. He also had a good

108
00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:15.920
look at the three. Scored twenty
three points on nine of seventeen shooting.

109
00:07:16.199 --> 00:07:20.160
I thought Big Zoo played very well
overall, eleven points, five boards in

110
00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:25.639
twenty one minutes. Terrence Mann got
his first three pointer of the season.

111
00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:29.839
I believe after he was turning some
down was able to find his stroke a

112
00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:33.639
clutch one in the fourth quarter.
But Clippers got down by two large of

113
00:07:33.639 --> 00:07:38.600
a deficit late and evil with Norman
Powell giving him twenty off the bench,

114
00:07:38.680 --> 00:07:44.000
fifteen of those coming in the first
half. Clippers fall one sixteen to one

115
00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:47.240
nine. Here at Crypto dot Com
Arena will preview tomorrow night's game against LUKA

119
00:08:03.959 --> 00:08:09.319
rebounded forty nine to thirty eight and
twelve to seven on the offensive boards,

120
00:08:09.319 --> 00:08:13.560
and they lose one sixteen to one
oh six after coming back down twenty one.

121
00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:16.000
They had a brief six point lead
in the third quarter, but they

122
00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:20.639
would come up short down the stretch
in the fourth against the New Orleans Pelicans,

123
00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:24.319
Clippers drop to six and eight on
the season. They're right back here

124

five a game against the Clippers, I

00:10:24.279 --> 00:10:28.720
is the phone number, and we'll
hear from coach Lou post game. But

153
00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:33.240
I can't stress this enough, and
it's gonna be a theme tonight and I'm

154
00:10:33.279 --> 00:10:39.879
gonna hammer this and ingrain this in
your skull. The Clippers have to get

155
00:10:39.919 --> 00:10:46.559
rid of this bad habit, and
it's feeling too comfortable being down double digits

156
00:10:46.559 --> 00:10:54.039
because they've come back so many times
before. It has to stop. It's

157
00:10:54.240 --> 00:11:01.960
not something championship teams do. They
don't wait to start playing when they're down

158
00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:09.399
fifteen twenty twenty one in this case, in the first quarter. And I'm

159
00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:18.480
not saying the Clippers were in a
twelve thirty Mattine type of start today because

160
00:11:18.519 --> 00:11:22.919
they weren't technically, and even though
it looked like that at times. Yeah,

161
00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:31.919
there was some poor shooting early on
and just shot variation, make or

162
00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:35.919
miss league stuff was happening out there. The Clippers started zero of seven from

163
00:11:35.919 --> 00:11:43.360
the outside, some of it was
fluky, and eventually they ended up going

164
00:11:43.399 --> 00:11:48.720
twelve of thirty eight. That's still
just thirty two percent from three. But

165
00:11:48.919 --> 00:11:56.080
you just have to find a way
to stop the bleeding and not let an

166
00:11:56.080 --> 00:12:00.759
eight point quick lead by the New
Orleans Pelicans turn into a twenty one point

167
00:12:00.799 --> 00:12:03.159
lead in the first quarter, where
you are digging out of this hole,

168
00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:11.840
fighting uphill, expending all this energy
to get back into a ballgame, to

169
00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:16.639
which then you don't have enough gas
left in the tank to finish the comeback

170
00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:22.480
late. Specifically, it's been over
the last season, going back to last

171
00:12:22.519 --> 00:12:28.279
year, that I've seen this too
often from this team. Slow starts,

172
00:12:28.200 --> 00:12:33.039
and it's been throughout the entire two
to three era, but they used to

173
00:12:33.080 --> 00:12:39.159
complete more of the big comebacks.
But it's not happening, and it shouldn't

174
00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:46.639
happen to start with. Stop getting
down twenty one, stop waiting to engage

175
00:12:46.120 --> 00:12:50.960
and waiting to get active, and
if you're not knocking down shots from the

176
00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:58.000
outside early, get to the basket, find another way to score. Clippers

177
00:12:58.039 --> 00:13:01.799
got outscored in the first order thirty
six to twenty three. The comeback started

178
00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:07.360
towards the end of that first quarter, but the damage was already done.

179
00:13:07.480 --> 00:13:13.360
You can lose a game in the
first quarter. You can because everything it

180
00:13:13.399 --> 00:13:16.919
takes out of you to come back
into the ballgame to get it to within

181
00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:20.799
one point. The half eventually catches
up with you and you fall short at

182
00:13:20.840 --> 00:13:26.039
the finish line to complete the comeback. Can't stress stress it enough tonight.

183
00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:33.279
And it's been a habit, a
pattern, a trend throughout this two to

184
00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:39.720
three era. And yeah, there
have been magical comebacks, second biggest in

185
00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:48.960
NBA history, down thirty five in
DC. But how many championship teams do

186
00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:56.399
you see always putting themselves in a
hole like this consistently? The Clippers have

187
00:13:56.399 --> 00:14:00.799
gotten too comfortable knowing that, oh, we can come back. It's fine,

188
00:14:00.799 --> 00:14:03.960
we can come back. No,
it's not always going to happen like

189
00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:09.320
that, and it's gonna come back
to bite you if anything. Don't get

190
00:14:09.320 --> 00:14:13.039
down twenty one in the first quarter. It is hard to get out scored

191
00:14:13.279 --> 00:14:18.960
that much within the first eight minutes
of a ball game. It is not

192
00:14:18.200 --> 00:14:22.080
easy to do. And the Clippers
somehow pulled it off, not in a

193
00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:28.080
good way, but letting their opponent
get that comfortable, letting Brandon and Ingram

194
00:14:28.120 --> 00:14:33.320
have sixteen points in the first quarter, letting them shoot sixty percent from the

195
00:14:33.320 --> 00:14:39.600
field in the first quarter, Because
it's most likely, and Brandon Ingram hit

196
00:14:39.679 --> 00:14:41.919
some big shots in the fourth at
least one. I can remember over Kawhi

197
00:14:41.960 --> 00:14:46.879
Annavitzu zubats that once you let a
team get hot, you can't turn the

198
00:14:46.879 --> 00:14:50.519
faucet off. You can't cool them
off. I don't care what defense you

199
00:14:50.559 --> 00:14:58.240
play. And the Clippers had some
success and the activity level ramped up,

200
00:14:58.240 --> 00:15:01.600
and there was urgency, and I've
it felt like they fought really hard in

201
00:15:01.639 --> 00:15:03.960
the fourth quarter, and they played
Zion about as well as you could have.

202
00:15:05.360 --> 00:15:07.919
It didn't matter every possession, but
even when they were small, James

203
00:15:07.919 --> 00:15:11.919
Harden played them, we'll get the
board, then have the ball ripped away

204
00:15:11.919 --> 00:15:16.759
and put in for a layup by
Zion Williamson. Terrence Man played them well,

205
00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:22.159
got called for that foul that they
reviewed. All that's great. The

206
00:15:22.200 --> 00:15:31.120
effort was there late late, it
was bring it in the first shot.

207
00:15:31.200 --> 00:15:35.720
Variance happens. You could start cold, the other team starts hot. But

208
00:15:35.799 --> 00:15:41.960
to get down twenty one points that
quickly, that's extreme. That's kind of

209
00:15:41.960 --> 00:15:48.600
inexcusable, especially when you know this
is a team that has had your number

210
00:15:50.320 --> 00:15:56.120
and you're trying to flip that script
to change the narrative. There I mean

211
00:15:56.159 --> 00:16:00.919
big brother Jake's so upset he's throwing
chairs. Okay, one just fell to

212
00:16:00.960 --> 00:16:07.639
the right of me for a second. It's just been something I have noticed

213
00:16:07.720 --> 00:16:15.440
for far too long, and as
fun as the comeback clips are, that

214
00:16:15.480 --> 00:16:21.279
needs to be, you know,
break glass in case of emergency stuff where

215
00:16:21.320 --> 00:16:26.440
it's just not your night, nothing's
going for you, and maybe you're down

216
00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:32.799
twenty one in the third, maybe
late in the second, but you can't

217
00:16:32.840 --> 00:16:37.000
come out that flat. I don't
think the effort was awful. I do

218
00:16:37.039 --> 00:16:41.159
think a lot of it was fluky
shooting early on. But you gotta do

219
00:16:41.240 --> 00:16:45.240
something, you gotta switch something up
quick. And I thought Coach lou when

220
00:16:45.240 --> 00:16:49.039
he found that lineup with PJ.
Tucker and Daniel Tice out there, they

221
00:16:49.039 --> 00:16:53.919
were much better. They had two
able bodies to try to slow down Zion

222
00:16:53.960 --> 00:17:00.120
Williamson in the first quarter. And
that's the thing. He only had five

223
00:17:00.159 --> 00:17:06.559
of his eventual thirty two in the
first eight minutes that he was out there.

224
00:17:06.559 --> 00:17:14.960
In the first quarter. It was
mostly brandon Ingram and the Clippers not

225
00:17:15.039 --> 00:17:18.920
hitting enough shots. They were two
for ten from three in the first quarter.

226
00:17:19.680 --> 00:17:26.599
Ten threes. Look. I like
the math. I like the analytics.

227
00:17:26.680 --> 00:17:29.279
I believe in it. Overall.
It helped them get back into the

228
00:17:29.319 --> 00:17:36.880
ballgame eventually, but early on,
just find another way to score, attack,

229
00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:38.759
get to the free throw line.
They only attempted three in the first

230
00:17:38.839 --> 00:17:48.839
quarter. It just it's been happening
too often for too long, and tonight

231
00:17:49.680 --> 00:17:55.119
it just underscores that fact that when
you get down big in the NBA,

232
00:17:55.319 --> 00:18:00.279
even if you make a comeback,
you can't always complete it, especially you're

233
00:18:00.319 --> 00:18:04.519
down big early like that. And
they turned it around quickly. I get

234
00:18:04.559 --> 00:18:11.279
it down one at the half,
But where was that energy to start?

235
00:18:14.640 --> 00:18:18.799
Just brutal, because I'm here to
tell you Clippers at six and eight,

236
00:18:18.759 --> 00:18:25.200
fourteen games in never would have seen
that coming. Now, extenuating circumstances,

237
00:18:25.240 --> 00:18:29.599
you start to apply context. I
said preseason they need to get off to

238
00:18:29.680 --> 00:18:33.759
a nine and four start at worst
in the first thirteen games, and instead

239
00:18:33.759 --> 00:18:37.279
they were six and seven. Now, I didn't know they were gonna make

240
00:18:37.279 --> 00:18:41.400
the trade for James Harden, Yes, I heard the rumors. I didn't

241
00:18:41.400 --> 00:18:45.319
know they would do that. There
would be this transitional phase. They lose

242
00:18:45.480 --> 00:18:51.279
six straight, but guys, this
was the easier part of their schedule.

243
00:18:52.039 --> 00:18:57.279
They just entered the Gauntlet. This
was game one of six games against teams

244
00:18:57.279 --> 00:19:04.960
that are above five hundred. It's
likely playoff teams Dallas Tomorrow, Denver on

245
00:19:06.079 --> 00:19:10.839
Monday. Here, then they go
up north for back to back against Sacramento

246
00:19:10.920 --> 00:19:15.359
and Golden State, then Golden State
back here at Crypto dot Com Arena.

247
00:19:15.880 --> 00:19:22.960
They have to make up for losing
six straight somewhere here. They have to

248
00:19:22.960 --> 00:19:26.480
make up for losing to tonight.
Not a lesser team, but I still

249
00:19:26.519 --> 00:19:29.400
go back to the game against Brooklyn
where they were down many men, the

250
00:19:29.480 --> 00:19:34.960
game against Memphis. The Clippers should
have won those games, and those games

251
00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:38.640
can come back to haunt you,
and they had a chance to get back

252
00:19:38.680 --> 00:19:45.759
to five hundred. Instead, they're
six and eight tonight. So not just

253
00:19:45.799 --> 00:19:51.759
a slow start to this game,
a slow start to this season. I

254
00:19:51.839 --> 00:19:56.000
understood there would be growing pains with
James Harden, but to lose five in

255
00:19:56.039 --> 00:20:00.839
a row at one point, that's
tough to wreck style, that's tough to

256
00:20:00.960 --> 00:20:06.440
rationalize. That's one or two games
too many, go two and three in

257
00:20:06.480 --> 00:20:11.200
those five, Please, there were
some teams there that were just asking to

258
00:20:11.200 --> 00:20:18.640
be beat and the Clippers didn't do
it. So in this Western Conference,

259
00:20:19.319 --> 00:20:22.480
with these teams coming up in the
West now and losing to one tonight in

260
00:20:22.519 --> 00:20:26.960
the New Orleans Pelicans. I can't
tell you how important these games are.

261
00:20:26.359 --> 00:20:33.160
You want to say, it's only
November. It's early December, Okay.

262
00:20:33.960 --> 00:20:37.759
How many championship teams get off to
slow starts? Were fifteen games in,

263
00:20:37.799 --> 00:20:47.480
They're under five hundred. Not many
different circumstances. James Harden wasn't here in

264
00:20:47.480 --> 00:20:52.839
training camp, wasn't here in the
preseason. They're getting him acclimated, and

265
00:20:52.880 --> 00:20:56.279
I thought he had tough games tonight. Although he did have ten assists to

266
00:20:56.440 --> 00:21:00.160
just three turnovers. I thought he
had a tough shooting game. Let me

267
00:21:00.240 --> 00:21:04.400
put it like that, just eight
points to of eight from the field,

268
00:21:06.359 --> 00:21:11.680
didn't get anything to go miss his
only shot in the fourth quarter. I

269
00:21:11.720 --> 00:21:17.240
thought he played really hard defensively.
I thought he scrapped. He ended up

270
00:21:17.279 --> 00:21:22.160
with four steals. I'm telling you, nobody's gonna care about this stuff because

271
00:21:22.200 --> 00:21:29.039
the national media in the big hot
take narrative type of shows will just go

272
00:21:29.200 --> 00:21:33.000
off of narrative. Well, James
Harden was not a good defender. I

273
00:21:33.039 --> 00:21:37.519
saw him hustling and playing great defense
to night at times. Yes, he's

274
00:21:37.519 --> 00:21:42.720
overmatched against Zion Williamson. Not much
you can do about that. But on

275
00:21:42.799 --> 00:21:45.960
a night where Paul George ends up
taking thirty shots, I don't know if

276
00:21:45.960 --> 00:21:49.279
that's a Clippers high for him.
He had thirty four. God bless him.

277
00:21:49.359 --> 00:21:56.079
He attacked so often and he probably
ran out of gas late. Had

278
00:21:56.119 --> 00:21:59.680
an open three pointer, almost felt
too open, too much time to think

279
00:21:59.720 --> 00:22:04.000
about it that he would miss.
He almost dunked on Herbert Jones on the

280
00:22:04.079 --> 00:22:08.680
fourth in the first half. He
almost got Jonas Valanchiunis on one. Didn't

281
00:22:08.680 --> 00:22:11.880
get a call on either dunk that
was missed. That would have been a

282
00:22:11.960 --> 00:22:17.200
poster. Clippers didn't get a great
whistle. I understand that, but they

283
00:22:17.240 --> 00:22:21.680
put themselves in that position where you're
battling and you need things and breaks to

284
00:22:21.720 --> 00:22:26.200
go your way. When you're down
twenty one in the first quarter, I'm

285
00:22:26.240 --> 00:22:32.480
telling you that is a rarity.
A team with this much talent eight minutes

286
00:22:32.519 --> 00:22:40.319
in to be down twenty one,
it's tough to do. It was make

287
00:22:40.359 --> 00:22:45.559
it ten minutes in when it was
thirty three to twelve, and then the

288
00:22:45.599 --> 00:22:49.000
Clippers started to rally. Norman Powell
came in, he got hot. He

289
00:22:49.039 --> 00:22:52.200
had a very good game, twenty
points off the bench. Didn't even know

290
00:22:52.200 --> 00:22:55.880
if he was gonna play, didn't
know how much he was gonna play.

291
00:22:55.960 --> 00:23:00.640
Dealing with the groin issue I thought
would really killed the Clippers. It wasn't

292
00:23:00.720 --> 00:23:06.440
Jones Valence Tunis this time. It
was Herb Jones. In the fourth quarter.

293
00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:12.519
He had nine of his fourteen points
in the fourth. He hit a

294
00:23:12.680 --> 00:23:19.920
backbreaking three pointer that after the Clippers
were down by just two at the eight

295
00:23:21.039 --> 00:23:23.599
thirty mark, made it ninety six
to ninety one, and then had a

296
00:23:23.680 --> 00:23:27.000
layup right afterwards. It's ninety eight
to ninety one. Now, all of

297
00:23:27.039 --> 00:23:30.519
a sudden, brandon Ingram hits a
shot. You're down by nine. Then

298
00:23:30.559 --> 00:23:36.400
Herb Jones makes another three pointer.
You're down by twelve, and out of

299
00:23:36.480 --> 00:23:40.160
the time out, Paul George missed
a layup a good look. Maybe tired

300
00:23:40.240 --> 00:23:47.319
legs tough one Clipper Nation that now
they have to bounce back tomorrow. And

301
00:23:47.359 --> 00:23:51.200
to be honest, this is probably
worst case scenario, losing in the fashion

302
00:23:51.240 --> 00:23:55.440
they did tonight because of the tired
legs that you had to use to get

303
00:23:55.440 --> 00:23:59.039
back into the ballgame. And now
you're taking on a Dallas team that had

304
00:23:59.079 --> 00:24:02.960
two days off after they almost blew
a twenty point lead here to the Los

305
00:24:03.000 --> 00:24:06.240
Angeles Lakers on Wednesday night. We'll
take a quick time out, we'll come

back. We'll get to your phone

number, Javier Howie, Isaac Philip. We'll get to your next. Clippers

309
00:24:18.519 --> 00:24:22.279
fall by ten. After reading down
by twenty one and leaguing by six in

310
00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:26.240
the third quarter, they eventually fall
one sixteen to one oh six of the

311
00:24:26.240 --> 00:24:30.960
Pelicans. And you're listening to the
Los Angeles Clippers already a network loading Clippers,

312
00:24:32.160 --> 00:24:37.519
fully loaded with Clippers fans. This
is LA Clippers basketball. You're listening

313
00:24:37.559 --> 00:24:41.680
to the LA Clippers on the LA
Clippers Audio network. Clippers lose one sixteen

314
00:24:41.759 --> 00:24:45.839
to one oh six after they battled
back down twenty one, they led by

315
00:24:45.920 --> 00:24:49.279
six, and the third they lose
by ten. Eventually here at Crypto dot

316
00:24:49.359 --> 00:24:52.920
Com Arena to the New Orleans Pelicans. Welcome back into Clippers hock here on

317
00:24:52.920 --> 00:24:56.519
a M five to seventy LA Sports
eight sixty six nine eight seven two five

318
00:24:56.559 --> 00:25:00.920
seventy eight six six ninety seven two
five seventy. I thought Russell Westbrook had

319
00:25:00.960 --> 00:25:08.160
a really tough ballgame one of eighth
of two from three. Looked like he

320
00:25:08.240 --> 00:25:14.279
was pressing a little bit to get
going offensively, taking some ill advised,

321
00:25:14.359 --> 00:25:21.960
unnecessary shots. Getting up eight shots
in thirteen minutes. It's a lot not

322
00:25:22.039 --> 00:25:26.599
putting it on Russ. A lot
of guys struggled in different sections of the

323
00:25:26.640 --> 00:25:33.559
ballgame. I just thought tonight in
particular, he had a rough one,

324
00:25:33.640 --> 00:25:38.160
and there were some lineups out there
that weren't working. Now. I like

325
00:25:38.240 --> 00:25:45.079
what coach lou did with PJ.
Tucker and Daniel Tice and starting PJ.

326
00:25:45.119 --> 00:25:49.400
Tucker in the third quarter and matching
his minutes was Zion Williamson thought that was

327
00:25:49.440 --> 00:25:56.480
brilliant. That's the perfect guy for
him to guard. Actually, eight sixty

328
00:25:56.480 --> 00:26:00.200
six nine eight seven two five seventy
is the phone number. And needed the

329
00:26:00.200 --> 00:26:04.200
best as much as you could ask. Let's go to Hobbyer at the Horber

330
00:26:04.279 --> 00:26:07.680
Heights. Do we have Hobbyer and
he's still gone. We can go to

331
00:26:07.720 --> 00:26:11.759
Howe Howie and they win eight.
Hey man, your your points are all

332
00:26:11.759 --> 00:26:15.160
well taken, you know, uh, But I have a I have a

333
00:26:15.200 --> 00:26:21.160
grief with coach Tyler I'm sorry.
We had a one point game and Russell

334
00:26:21.240 --> 00:26:23.039
was in the game, and the
coach just stood there and watched the momentum

335
00:26:23.119 --> 00:26:26.960
shift. It went to eight nine, I forget how many points it went

336
00:26:26.039 --> 00:26:29.640
to, and he's just standing there
on the sideline. I'm going, what

337
00:26:29.720 --> 00:26:33.720
is he doing? The whole momentum
just shifted until I'm just one point four.

338
00:26:34.920 --> 00:26:37.440
No, it's like I say,
it's the third, the end of

339
00:26:37.440 --> 00:26:41.079
the third maybe when Restbrook was in
and uh uh and Westbrook was just all

340
00:26:41.119 --> 00:26:44.920
over the map and then uh,
I mean, Zion had a great game.

341
00:26:44.960 --> 00:26:47.240
But you just can't you know,
like you said, you know,

342
00:26:47.599 --> 00:26:49.960
when you get down so far,
it's really tough. But then if you

343
00:26:51.039 --> 00:26:53.680
do come back and you're like at
a one point after all that comeback,

344
00:26:53.880 --> 00:26:57.480
somebody has to make smart decisions.
And the coach can't sit there and let

345
00:26:57.880 --> 00:27:03.519
the moment I'm going to a complete
upside down shift and go from one point

346
00:27:03.559 --> 00:27:04.960
to eight point and he's not even
calling a timeout. I just don't get

347
00:27:06.000 --> 00:27:08.720
it. Well, you only got
so many of them, and look they

348
00:27:08.720 --> 00:27:14.359
were down too entering the fourth quarter, and Paul George tied up the game

349
00:27:14.400 --> 00:27:17.480
with a dunk on a really good
pass from Russell Westbrook to start the fourth

350
00:27:17.559 --> 00:27:22.839
quarter. Yeah, it was after
that where things started to spiral a little

351
00:27:22.839 --> 00:27:26.079
bit. Zion Williamson got loose.
I want to say he had his nine

352
00:27:26.119 --> 00:27:30.160
points. Thanks for the phone call, Howie, I appreciate it, but

353
00:27:30.240 --> 00:27:33.640
his nine to fourth quarter points were
all earlier the first half of the fourth

354
00:27:33.680 --> 00:27:37.440
quarter. I might have hit a
one free throw late, as he went

355
00:27:37.480 --> 00:27:41.880
one for two from the line,
and he hit both of them. That's

356
00:27:41.920 --> 00:27:48.440
tough to deal with too. I
was wondering if James Harden and Kawhi Leonard

357
00:27:48.480 --> 00:27:52.799
were going to enter the game re
enter it at about the nine minute mark,

358
00:27:52.319 --> 00:27:56.720
So I'm with you to some degree
there. How he understand what you're

359
00:27:56.759 --> 00:28:00.039
saying. Because the game was slipping, they got a sense of urgency.

360
00:28:00.079 --> 00:28:03.519
There's also a game tomorrow, though, how much can you play these guys?

361
00:28:04.240 --> 00:28:08.319
That stuff adds up. Let me
tell you, if you listen to

362
00:28:08.359 --> 00:28:14.480
any of the conversation around the Lakers
and three games and four nights, well,

363
00:28:14.559 --> 00:28:18.400
Lebron, that's why you missed that
three pointer and their big comeback also

364
00:28:18.400 --> 00:28:22.480
a comeback that came up short the
other night. Three games of four night's

365
00:28:22.519 --> 00:28:27.400
tough, five and seven is really
tough against the opponents that the Clippers have

366
00:28:27.799 --> 00:28:33.759
coming up. And they have twenty
five instances of three games in four nights,

367
00:28:33.480 --> 00:28:37.079
so get used to it. They
tried to be the most well conditioned

368
00:28:37.079 --> 00:28:41.000
team. They ran hard in practice, they ran hard in the preseason,

369
00:28:41.000 --> 00:28:45.319
they ran hard in training camp to
try to prepare them for this. But

370
00:28:45.480 --> 00:28:48.599
you're gonna have to stagger lineups.
You're gonna have to find fresh legs on

371
00:28:48.640 --> 00:28:52.559
a back to back tomorrow. To
their credit, the back to back when

372
00:28:52.559 --> 00:28:56.599
they took on the Lakers, Kawhi
and Paul George both played and they were

373
00:28:56.599 --> 00:29:02.319
great in that game. We'll see
who's available tomorrow. But yeah, I

374
00:29:03.079 --> 00:29:08.799
thought as the game was slipping,
as you point out that maybe and Norm

375
00:29:08.839 --> 00:29:12.799
pal did hit a big three pointer
at the nine minute mark when they were

376
00:29:12.799 --> 00:29:15.920
down by seven to bring it back
to within four, and then a Vitza

377
00:29:15.960 --> 00:29:21.079
Zubots had it to within two.
But I'm telling you, Herb Jones his

378
00:29:21.160 --> 00:29:26.359
own little five zero run. Then
brandon Ingram hits that tough fallaway that was

379
00:29:26.440 --> 00:29:33.759
over Kawhi and a Vitza Zubots and
oh you're back down nine. Herb Jones

380
00:29:33.799 --> 00:29:38.359
hits a three pointer, you're back
down twelve was six minutes left, and

381
00:29:38.400 --> 00:29:41.759
then you almost just have to execute
perfectly down the stretch. And the Clippers

382
00:29:41.759 --> 00:29:47.440
weren't good enough. Too many mistakes. They had four of their eleven turnovers

383
00:29:47.440 --> 00:29:52.000
in the fourth quarter. Who else
we got here? Philip? In La

384
00:29:52.799 --> 00:30:00.640
Philip, you're on clipperstock? What's
up? Philip? I got it with

385
00:30:00.880 --> 00:30:07.880
ty Lou in this strange obsession with
small lineups. I don't understand. He

386
00:30:08.039 --> 00:30:11.279
literally has said the last couple of
days, Philip, that he doesn't want

387
00:30:11.279 --> 00:30:15.039
to go small as a last resort. And when you're down, when you're

388
00:30:15.039 --> 00:30:18.400
down double digits in the fourth and
you got to make a comeback, so

389
00:30:18.440 --> 00:30:22.559
you got to score, you have
to give something up. He gave up

390
00:30:22.599 --> 00:30:27.880
defense to try to come back with
leaning into the offense. But PJ.

391
00:30:29.039 --> 00:30:34.079
Tucker like zero points, Like,
why why did you not come on?

392
00:30:34.359 --> 00:30:37.799
Did you watch the game, Philip? Did you see the defense PJ.

393
00:30:37.920 --> 00:30:42.640
Tucker played on Zion Williamson. He
was a plus seven in a game that

394
00:30:42.720 --> 00:30:47.720
they lost by ten. PJ.
Tucker was a plus seven in a game

395
00:30:47.759 --> 00:30:53.920
they lost by ten. Think about
that. He was good. I don't

396
00:30:53.960 --> 00:30:57.400
know. I just don't think that
I mean, of course he tried against

397
00:30:57.480 --> 00:31:03.680
Zion Williamson. You can't. I
can't stand seeing zoo and disappearing in the

398
00:31:03.720 --> 00:31:08.759
second half of the game and him
not coming back until the fourth quarter when

399
00:31:08.759 --> 00:31:15.119
they had Balanchunis and Williamson in the
game. I mean, come on,

400
00:31:15.279 --> 00:31:22.680
now, you're down by twelve,
you're trying to score. And they did

401
00:31:22.720 --> 00:31:30.640
make a run. They had it
to within six, They had opportunities that

402
00:31:30.799 --> 00:31:33.000
small ball battled and got him back
in. I don't think that's why they

403
00:31:33.039 --> 00:31:36.519
lost the ball game. I think
they lost it because they got down twenty

404
00:31:36.519 --> 00:31:45.400
one in the first quarter. I
guess. I mean just I don't understand

405
00:31:45.400 --> 00:31:48.920
it. I really don't. And
to be honest, I think the Clippers

406
00:31:48.279 --> 00:31:52.440
may have been better before this trade. You know, they win, they

407
00:31:52.480 --> 00:31:56.400
went three in a row. It's
starting to look good. But you know,

408
00:31:56.640 --> 00:32:00.319
though, that's just too good.
Now we're in year five. Has

409
00:32:00.400 --> 00:32:06.599
to pick up. So what's the
move. What's the solution here, Philip?

410
00:32:07.119 --> 00:32:12.640
I say, to not get down
one in the first quarter. I

411
00:32:12.799 --> 00:32:17.440
believe truly, and I hope you
can hear me on this one. I

412
00:32:17.559 --> 00:32:23.640
believe that PJ. Tucker and Rush
they might just have to sit for a

413
00:32:23.720 --> 00:32:29.640
game. For a game, maybe
utilize PJ. Tucker is not the reason

414
00:32:29.680 --> 00:32:31.920
they lost to night, Philip.
I don't understand why that's the gripe tonight

415
00:32:32.119 --> 00:32:36.960
of all nights. This was easily
his best game as a Clipper. He

416
00:32:37.119 --> 00:32:43.240
was extremely useful against Zion. Again. They outscored the Pelicans when PJ.

417
00:32:43.319 --> 00:32:49.559
Tucker was on the floor by seven. That's the number. So how can

418
00:32:49.640 --> 00:32:53.720
you point to him as being the
problem tonight? You can't. Thanks for

419
00:32:53.759 --> 00:32:59.000
the phone call, Philip, I
appreciate it. That's what a plus minus

420
00:32:59.039 --> 00:33:06.119
means. It could mean somebody else
was really good when he was on the

421
00:33:06.160 --> 00:33:10.480
floor, but then the eye test
matches it. It wasn't somebody else,

422
00:33:10.599 --> 00:33:15.200
or it was a collective. There
were some good lineups out there. With

423
00:33:15.279 --> 00:33:21.599
PJ. Tucker, he entice worked
well together. They slowed down the offense

424
00:33:22.039 --> 00:33:28.559
of the Pelicans for the Clippers to
eventually come back and lead by six after

425
00:33:28.559 --> 00:33:30.839
being down by twenty one. It
was effective. He started him in the

426
00:33:30.880 --> 00:33:36.640
third quarter. I just don't know
what you're watching. They got up in

427
00:33:36.680 --> 00:33:40.240
the third quarter when PJ. Tucker
started the third quarter. There's a direct

428
00:33:40.279 --> 00:33:45.400
correlation there. A minute in and
all of a sudden. They're up sixty

429
00:33:45.440 --> 00:33:51.960
two to fifty six, and Tucker
was good and Zion had I don't know

430
00:33:52.000 --> 00:33:55.640
what the exact advanced box numbers are, but he was missing shots against PJ.

431
00:33:55.720 --> 00:34:00.319
Tucker. He had this crazy layup
in the fourth where he got the

432
00:34:00.359 --> 00:34:02.720
and one against him and Daniel Tice. But there's just nothing you can do

433
00:34:02.799 --> 00:34:07.960
about it. You tip your cap. But Tucker competed. I'm not putting

434
00:34:07.960 --> 00:34:12.599
it on him. Quick timeout will
come back. Clippers lose one sixteen to

435
00:34:12.679 --> 00:34:16.480
one oh six. You're in downtown
Los Angeles to the New Orleans Pelicans.

436
00:34:17.920 --> 00:34:23.119
Clippers cans well on this. The
only thing they should be thinking about is,

437
00:34:23.239 --> 00:34:29.760
hey, we got to start faster. They start fast. They don't

438
00:34:29.800 --> 00:34:35.320
get down twenty one points in the
first ten minutes of the ballgame. They

439
00:34:35.320 --> 00:34:38.000
put themselves in a much better position
to win. We'll take a quick time

440
00:34:38.000 --> 00:34:40.840
out. We'll come back and get
to your phone. Calls eight six six

Pelicans, but they lost the four thirty

448
00:35:17.199 --> 00:35:21.639
one to twenty six, and they
lost the ballgame and dropped to six and

449
00:35:21.840 --> 00:35:27.400
eight on this young twenty three to
twenty four NBA season. Welcome back into

450
00:35:27.400 --> 00:35:30.400
Clippers Stock and then a Moslin.
Let's go to Jayden in La Jaden,

451
00:35:30.440 --> 00:35:36.400
what's up here on Clipperstock? Hi, how are you today? After this

452
00:35:37.280 --> 00:35:40.679
tough Clippers lost in the season tournament? Not about me, Jaden. I'm

453
00:35:40.679 --> 00:35:45.760
fine, We'll be back tomorrow.
I just wanted to say because I'm sad.

454
00:35:45.880 --> 00:35:50.360
I think I think the Clippers had
this. We were down twenty one,

455
00:35:50.400 --> 00:35:54.079
and I think that is perfect reason
why we were down. But I

456
00:35:54.360 --> 00:35:59.800
think at this point, like our
defensive rotations are slow, we bring no

457
00:36:00.039 --> 00:36:02.679
energy in the fourth quarter. I
don't know what's going on with Harden,

458
00:36:02.719 --> 00:36:08.480
but I feel like he's not impacting
us how he should be impacting us.

459
00:36:08.920 --> 00:36:14.079
I feel like a lot of and
if we're watching this game. In the

460
00:36:14.159 --> 00:36:16.920
last three games since they switched up
the starting lineup with Terrence man in for

461
00:36:17.039 --> 00:36:22.920
Russell Westbrook, that starting lineup was
like a plus fifty out there their net

462
00:36:22.000 --> 00:36:28.760
rating. I think and I think, I know, I think it was

463
00:36:28.800 --> 00:36:31.519
a great move, but I think
it's not because it's it's hard and that's

464
00:36:31.559 --> 00:36:35.960
getting better. I think Terrence manag
has always been the better fit for the

465
00:36:35.960 --> 00:36:40.199
Clippers in the starting lineup. No, I think Terrence man is a great

466
00:36:40.239 --> 00:36:45.000
fit in the starting lineup. I
also think James and what he was doing

467
00:36:45.000 --> 00:36:50.119
in the starting lineup was very significant. He had an off game tonight,

468
00:36:51.519 --> 00:36:58.719
but overall, I see the vision, it works worked. Defensively, something

469
00:36:58.840 --> 00:37:01.039
has to has to happen. I
don't know if it's something in the mindset

470
00:37:01.079 --> 00:37:05.800
of the players or whatnot, but
rotations are slow. I see no energy,

471
00:37:06.320 --> 00:37:09.800
and I feel like there's there's nothing
that's that's really connecting with them.

472
00:37:09.840 --> 00:37:14.920
On that side. I think offensively
they're playing great. I think that they

473
00:37:14.920 --> 00:37:16.239
are able to really connect, They're
able to do what they have to do.

474
00:37:16.280 --> 00:37:21.679
But it's defensively their defensive rating with
James Harden, the starting lineup next

475
00:37:21.679 --> 00:37:25.000
to Terrence Man was fantastic entering tonight. It's that's not a trend. One

476
00:37:25.079 --> 00:37:30.400
game does not make a trend.
But we've also are three and like eight

477
00:37:30.719 --> 00:37:34.440
or three and five in the last
time, in the last games with Harden,

478
00:37:34.519 --> 00:37:37.599
I mean, yeah, and they
just made this and they're three and

479
00:37:37.719 --> 00:37:42.320
one since he and Terrence Man are
in the starting lineup against the Spurs and

480
00:37:42.360 --> 00:37:45.199
the Rockets. Though, okay,
that's fair, you want to say level

481
00:37:45.199 --> 00:37:51.119
of competition, but they were also
losing to bad teams before that with Russell

482
00:37:51.159 --> 00:37:55.800
Westbrook and James Harden in the starting
backcourt. And I think I think I

483
00:37:57.079 --> 00:38:00.320
agree with you and that there is
no reason that both of them should have

484
00:38:00.360 --> 00:38:02.480
been starting. I think Terrence Man
should have been starting the whole time.

485
00:38:02.760 --> 00:38:07.760
However, it's progressively throughout the game
where we see the defense just slowly weaken

486
00:38:07.840 --> 00:38:13.400
out, become more nonchalant. Offensively, we're running maybe two or three moot

487
00:38:13.480 --> 00:38:16.400
like rotationals, and then they kind
of just stagnant and it's a one on

488
00:38:16.400 --> 00:38:22.840
one game. Yeah, I see
that. I think it just over generalizing

489
00:38:22.880 --> 00:38:25.559
a little bit. There were some
great defense played and it didn't matter because

490
00:38:25.599 --> 00:38:30.360
Zion Williamson. The first quarter wasn't
good enough. But it also when you're

491
00:38:30.360 --> 00:38:34.679
not hitting shots, it affects your
defense. You can't set your defense,

492
00:38:35.440 --> 00:38:38.559
and the Clippers were miserable offensively to
start off this ballgame. You can't get

493
00:38:38.599 --> 00:38:44.840
down twenty one points in ten minutes. They put themselves in that position.

494
00:38:45.119 --> 00:38:47.639
I appreciate the phone call, my
friend. Maybe we'll do it again tomorrow,

495
00:38:47.679 --> 00:38:53.320
hopefully after a Clippers victory. So
I really do I really do we

496
00:38:53.400 --> 00:38:57.360
need it? All right? All
right, I'm with you. It's a

497
00:38:57.440 --> 00:39:00.119
huge game tomorrow. We'll take a
quick time them out, We'll come back.

498
00:39:00.239 --> 00:39:05.599
We'll hear from coach Lou postgame.
Clippers lose one sixteen to one six

499
00:39:05.719 --> 00:39:09.599
at home to the New Orleans Pelicans. You could say the defense was inconsistent,

500
00:39:13.239 --> 00:39:17.760
but I would say what has been
consistent for this team is getting down

501
00:39:17.840 --> 00:39:24.280
early and starting slow overall in the
two and three era. And I don't

502
00:39:24.280 --> 00:39:30.119
know if it's them being so confident
that they can come back that it doesn't

503
00:39:30.119 --> 00:39:35.599
set off alarm. Belsfe not a
week, but for me, it's a

504
00:39:35.599 --> 00:39:39.519
bad habit that you have to break. We here from Coach Lou next on

505
00:39:39.559 --> 00:39:46.480
clipperstock on ampire seventy LA Sports Loading
Clippers fully loaded with Clippers fans. This

506
00:39:46.559 --> 00:39:52.760
is LA Clippers basketball. You're listening
to the LA Clippers on the LA Clippers

507
00:39:52.840 --> 00:39:59.599
Audio Network. After being down by
twenty one points in the first quarter,

508
00:40:00.199 --> 00:40:07.280
the Clippers had a sixty five to
fifty nine lead with ten minutes left in

509
00:40:07.320 --> 00:40:12.719
the third. They end up losing
one sixteen to one oh six at home

510
00:40:13.840 --> 00:40:16.840
to the New Orleans Pelicans. They
can't hang their heads. There's no time

511
00:40:16.840 --> 00:40:20.360
for that. They got to take
on the Dallas Mavericks tomorrow night. Let's

512
00:40:20.360 --> 00:40:23.360
hear from Coach lou post game here
on clipperstock after they fall one sixteen to

513
00:40:23.400 --> 00:40:28.000
one oh six the Pelicans here at
home. Ty, anything really stand out

514
00:40:28.480 --> 00:40:34.360
that you're looking at the box score? No, what led to such a

515
00:40:34.400 --> 00:40:37.000
struggle in that first half? Scoring
in defensially? Then why would Brandon and

516
00:40:37.079 --> 00:40:42.440
Zion so hard for you guys to
stop? Well, Brandon, he always

517
00:40:42.440 --> 00:40:45.280
gets going against us in the first
quarter. I wonder what he's averaged against

518
00:40:45.320 --> 00:40:47.639
us in the first quarter since we
played him. Always gets off the fast

519
00:40:47.679 --> 00:40:52.920
starts and the kind of puts it
behind the eight ball every game. You

520
00:40:52.960 --> 00:40:55.800
know, defensively, I think they
scored the first twelve out of thirteen possessions,

521
00:40:55.840 --> 00:41:00.519
So it's kind of hard to really
getting to any kind of floor,

522
00:41:00.519 --> 00:41:04.079
any kind of rhythm, because they're
scoring every time down the floor and you

523
00:41:04.119 --> 00:41:07.440
gotta take the ball out of bounce. And then just I just thought offensively,

524
00:41:07.440 --> 00:41:09.599
we didn't get into a good offensive
rhythm. We thought we had a

525
00:41:09.679 --> 00:41:15.719
nasty flow all night. Thought the
pressure bothered us, speeded us up and

526
00:41:15.719 --> 00:41:17.000
made us slow at the same time, if you understand what I'm saying,

527
00:41:17.880 --> 00:41:21.119
and it just kind of took us
out everything we wanted to do. So

528
00:41:21.159 --> 00:41:23.519
we never really got to our second
side, third side actions because by the

529
00:41:23.519 --> 00:41:29.559
time we initiated it was just the
clock was already gone down. So you

530
00:41:29.599 --> 00:41:31.840
know, I take responsibility for that, you know, far as just offensively.

531
00:41:31.880 --> 00:41:35.880
You know, we've got to be
better in that regard. And then

532
00:41:35.960 --> 00:41:38.840
when teams are pressuring James, just
having just having someone we can get off

533
00:41:38.840 --> 00:41:42.440
the ball and then get it back, you know, so to relieve some

534
00:41:42.519 --> 00:41:45.880
of that pressure. So you know, it's like I said, he's new,

535
00:41:45.880 --> 00:41:49.559
we haven't really been able to really
implement everything. So but I'll take

536
00:41:50.159 --> 00:41:52.079
responsibility for us. We should We
had to be better offensively, and we

537
00:41:52.079 --> 00:41:55.760
wasn't that good. So there was
Coach Blue posts game, and believe it

538
00:41:55.840 --> 00:42:00.000
or not, with James Harden,
the Clippers have suffered on the offensive end

539
00:42:00.440 --> 00:42:06.159
than the defensive end. All the
numbers will tell you that maybe that's a

540
00:42:06.199 --> 00:42:12.159
positive because you expect the offense to
turn around, and they've been better since

541
00:42:12.639 --> 00:42:15.360
Terrence Man and James Harden have been
in the starting backcourt. But that slow

542
00:42:15.440 --> 00:42:20.559
start, Coach lu said, you
don't get stops. You can't get your

543
00:42:20.559 --> 00:42:22.480
offense in the transition. You're taking
the ball out of bounds every time,

544
00:42:23.599 --> 00:42:29.039
makes you slower, makes it tougher. Clippers lose one sixteen to one oh

545
00:42:29.199 --> 00:42:32.519
six. So we need some positivity
tonight. And with that we turn to

546
00:42:32.599 --> 00:42:38.079
the fake philosopher, Big Jake Warner
for moments of positivity here as the Clippers

547
00:42:38.079 --> 00:42:40.000
are on the front end of a
home back to back. What's up,

548
00:42:40.079 --> 00:42:44.159
Jake? What's going on? Man? How are we doing? I'm good

549
00:42:44.159 --> 00:42:47.960
except for the loss. Some callers
not good tonight. It was great that

550
00:42:49.000 --> 00:42:51.159
they called, but they're not good
with the loss. Yeah, exactly.

551
00:42:51.199 --> 00:42:53.280
But you know what, I'm going
to provide positivity right now. Give it

552
00:42:53.320 --> 00:42:57.880
to me. All right. No
amount of guilt can change the past,

553
00:42:58.440 --> 00:43:02.000
no amount of anxiety can change the
future. Peace lives in the present.

554
00:43:02.679 --> 00:43:07.280
Be there. Well. I hope
the Clippers win tomorrow, and that's in

555
00:43:07.320 --> 00:43:13.239
the future. But yeah, I
got bring peace. Be at peace tonight

556
00:43:13.320 --> 00:43:17.320
because there's nothing you can do about
this lost. As Jake pointed out with

557
00:43:17.360 --> 00:43:21.440
that quote, it's a good one. You can't worry about the things you

558
00:43:21.480 --> 00:43:25.639
can't control. That can control tomorrow's
ballgame against the Dallas Mavericks. Tip off

559
00:43:25.679 --> 00:43:29.360
is that seven thirty pre game starting
at six thirty before we get out of

560
00:43:29.400 --> 00:43:32.159
here. I do want to think
the Clippers organization, Ralph Fahler, Bryan

561
00:43:32.199 --> 00:43:37.039
Seeman, know It Ego, Carlo
Jimenez on the call, big Brother,

562

Casino. Stat of the night Clippers with

564
00:43:46.960 --> 00:43:51.239
those four turnovers, only eleven in
the ballgame, but four of them coming

565
00:43:51.320 --> 00:43:53.559
in the fourth quarter when they had
to be perfect. Not good enough.

566
00:43:54.119 --> 00:43:59.039
We'll see if they can clean it
up tomorrow against Luka Donciz, the Don

567
00:43:59.280 --> 00:44:01.239
and the Mavericks. I'm at a
Maslin well You're pregame starting at six point

568
00:44:01.239 --> 00:44:05.920
thirty. Talk to you then.
Why he was doing his thing? And

569
00:44:06.119 --> 00:44:08.039
all they want to do is win

570
00:44:08.079 --> 00:44:12.159
they gave everything they had. I'm
very proud of them. This has been
