Get your fall. It's time to react to La Clippers basketball. This is
Clippers Talk all the chat, reaction and analysis hosted by Adam Asley. You
know he's feeling good. Take the show with you anywhere you are and get
the podcast on the iHeart Radio and now your host. He makes everything happen,
Adam Mossley. Here's Reggie Jackson walking it from right to left. He's
gonna cross the bid courtline with ten seconds left, guarded by the rookie Hayes
Jackson. With six seconds left, Jackson at the top of the key with
four seconds left, crossover step into the tupper. He buries it. Reggie
Jackson back in Detroit with a bang. Noah Eagle on the call. Reggie
Jackson with the game winner and the Clippers come back down eleven in the fourth
quarter with under five minutes left, and Reggie Jackson beats his former team in
the Detroit Pistons with that shot. They win one hundred to ninety eight in
Detroit. It is their seventh straight victory, longest winning streak in the NBA.
Currently. Welcome into Clippers Talk. I'm at a Moslin to eight seven
seven five two zero eleven fifty eight seven seven, five two zero, eleven
fifty. We're with you over the next hour here on the Patriot AM eleven
fifty. Coming up on the show, we'll have postgame audio from Reggie Action
Jackson, who was able to close things out for the Clippers tonight and had
a season nine twenty nine points. Far abought S and Shari will also join
me from SI now and we'll get to all your phone calls and your tweets
as people are going nuts over this victory, deservedly so Clipper Nation. This
felt like twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen, twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen type of
Clippers comeback stuff, the comeback clips when they came back down fifteen seven times
or more a couple of seasons ago, when they had the thirty one point
come back in the playoffs against the Golden State Warriors, when they had a
week where they came back down twenty three times. But this was special because
they were missing all five starters, no Sirgebaka, no Marcus Moore, snow
PG, no Kauai, no Pat Bev, and they somehow pulled off one
of the most improbable victories of the season, not just for the Clippers.
For any team out there to come back down eleven with under five minutes left,
that is unheard of. In fact, they were down let's see here
eleven at the four twenty two mark before Terrence Man had a four foot layup.
He wasn't done though. He's been a spark all season long, but
he sparked this comeback along with Reggie Jackson. Terrence Man who had the huge
throw down with under a minute left when they were down by five, and
then Nicholas Batoum gets the steel on Jeremy Grant, who was having a fabulous
game and the Clippers didn't have to see him on Sunday. He gets it
to tea Man who had the wherewithal to kick it back out to Reggie Jackson
for a three pointer to tie the game at ninety eight. I'm trying to
find the postgame audio I put together here and I just did Skeleton Crew tonight,
just like with the Clippers. But we're gonna try to get it done
anyways. But here is about a minute long highlight package of just how this
went down, starting with the Clippers being down five with under a minute left.
Plumbly will see it that inbounding past forty six point nine left man on
the left wing, down the right alley all the way to the ramp.
Oh. He slams with the right look out. Terrence Man amongst the trees
for a tun of hawks, slam eight ninety five clippers within three forty seconds
left. Tennis shoot for Grant. Twenty nine seconds left. Double comes,
Buttom Grant has caught up. Batoom got the steel Man scoops it up.
He goes all the way to the ram Man down the right alley, kick
out Jackson quarter three for the tie. He got it. Reggie Jackson,
big time shot down the stretch, ties it at ninety three. Wayne Ellington,
the shooter is in sidike bay. Another shooter will inbound. Frank Jackson
plumb lad around out the five so Bay gets it down on the far sideline
around a couple of strange Frank Jackson now booked away by Coffee, nearly taking
away it is. Terrence Man has it and they call it time out.
Here is Reggie Jackson walking it from right to left. He's gonna cross the
mid court line with ten seconds left, guarded by the rookie Hayes Jackson.
With six seconds left, Jackson at the top of the key with four seconds
left, crossover step into the jumper, he buries it. Reggie Jackson back
in Detroit with a bang. Talk about meeting the moment. Noah Eagle,
with an outstanding gabinder called there with Reggie Jackson putting his former team away in
the Detroit Pistons. While we have a second before lose my breath and pass
out on the air, Let's pause ten seconds for station identification. Here on
the Patriot AM eleven fifty, This is LA Clippers Basketball AM eleven fifty KiB
Los Angeles, an iHeart radio station. This win was a microcosm of how
this team is played all season long. They're the stay ready Clippers. It's
not just Patrick Patterson. It used to be his nickname, and he got
the start in this one, scored zero points, but I still felt like
had some of those hockey assists that don't end up in the box score.
But guys have just stepped up over and over again. Next man up.
It's not just a pun Terrence Man who's been doing that. He had almost
all nine of his points late in the fourth quarter. It just does those
little hustle plays, those game winning type of plays. We talked about it
pre game. No. Eagle and I were discussing just how he's able to
make those game winning plays at such a young age and to not play outside
himself for him to have that state of mind after Nicholas Batum got the Steel
to kick it back out to Reggie Jackson to tie the game with that three
pointer, that's just unbelievable court awareness that you don't see from a player.
There's twenty four years of age, he had four years of schooling at Florida's
State and playing there, but it's still a player in his second year that
has grown leaps and bounds our young boys become a man. It's Terrence Man.
But this was just a win that exemplified what this Clippers team was all
about and has been all season long. People got mad at me because I
said they were different. The detractors. They said, we'll see in the
playoffs, and we will see in the playoffs that will determine all of this.
But don't tell me this team hasn't looked different, that they haven't finally
merged that gritty, hungry Clippers team from a couple of years ago type of
attitude. While having the two on three connection and some serious superstars and elite
players on this team, and while being a championship contender, it's not easy
to change that mindset to go from being the hunters to the hunted. And
the Clippers are trying to get that number two seed right now in the West
while having Kawhi Leonard and Paul George. I want to say they've missed twenty
seven games combined now this season and they just keep winning. They used to
not be able to win without Patrick Beverley. They found that toughness, they
found that gear, they found that spirit, that heart and soul that Patrick
Beverley has always provided them. But they were almost two reliant on it at
times because they had a losing record midway through this season without Patrick Beverly going
back three years, it's a healthy sample size. Meanwhile, they're over sixty
games when he's on the court. But they have to find other ways to
win. It can't just be that one guy that decides it for them.
Kawhi Leonard has talked about this before. No Kawhi in this game. They're
missing their entire starting five. Yeah, you can say that Detroit Pistons are
at the bottom of the Eastern Conference. But they just got Jeremy Grant back,
who's been phenomenal all season. He had twenty eight points. But they
were able to clamp down again late in a game and flip that switch,
as they have done three games in a row now. Overall, they did
play wonderful defense, but shots weren't falling. The Clippers go seven of twenty
nine from distance. They're taking aim and take trying to take down the greatest
three point shooting team of all time in the Charlotte Hornets. The Clippers are
at forty two percent from three on the season, and they go seven of
twenty nine. They shoot under forty percent from the field. They ended up
shooting less free throws than the Detroit Pistons, but they ended up taking also
eight more shots thanks to some opportunistic turnovers that they created. Detroit had sixteen
of them. Clippers still only had thirteen points on turnovers. But remember all
that talk about them not showing up in the clutch in the last five minutes
of a game within five points, Well, they flipped that narrative around completely
in the fourth quarter. Recently, over the last month, I think they're
top five in net rating overall. In the fourth. They're playing great basketball,
and they're doing so while being undermanned and shorthanded, but they just find
ways to win games. Clippers win one hundred to ninety eight on a game
winner from Action Jackson Reggie Jackson against his former team. Let's go to Chad
in Korea. Towns start us off tonight, Chad. After that victory by
the Clippers, Hey, Adam, what a win. Thank you for taking
my call. You know, I was trying to talk to some of my
fellow Clipper fan friends about this game. But I think a lot of people
were going to watch a five pm game against the Detroit Pistons where our entire
starting lineup was out. But I would say it's their loss because the Clippers
won in dramatic fashion, Lily out of that, that leads me to two
points that I want to make you know. One is that I've actually enjoyed
watching this team a lot more when we're back or against the wall with our
bench unit and when we're under manned, because I think it's showing a lot
more adversity and being able to respond to challenges. I think the Miami game
in Miami comes to mind down eighteen in the first quarter. Then obviously I
had mentioned this on the last call, but you know, the game in
Atlanta, huge moment for us. But tonight it's just another one of those
things that's going to create a playoff like intensity and situations for us. And
you know, I just I keep thinking about the bubble and so many of
those ten situations where the body language was terrible and there was no excitement and
no identity as a team, And I think this is the kind of stuff
that's gonna help. But yeah, I leads to me to my second point,
which is I think I'm gonna buy a Terrence Man jersey, and I
think I'm gonna go to the game on Sunday. I'm in. I'm glad
that the Clippers are investing in some of the talent that we actually drafted and
some of these young guys. I mean, Canard we paid the money to
in the in the off season. I mean, you just got you give
him the extension. I think he's got to play. I think some of
these guys need to play, you know. And I love all these established
beasts and stuff that we signed, but you know, the culture is for
longevity here and we know how NBA free agency is and you know, I
hope guys like Terrence Man stick around because we need more of that in the
city. Thank you, Adam, appreciate it. Great phone calls, Yead.
Hopefully we'll see you at the game on Sunday when they're letting in three
thousand fans. I know Clipper Nation is pumped right now. It's their seventh
straight victory. Yes, team Man all season long just been spectacular. He's
provided some of what Patrick Beverly does, But the Clippers have shown this grit
in this fight all year long. When they're down. It's a character building
type of victory. They're still crystallizing that identity. But I think it's a
refuse to lose attitude. It's a refuse to lose type theme. Here Clippers
win by two on a Reggie Jackson jumper to beat his former team in the
Detroit Pistons. More Clipper Stock coming up next. Eight seven seven five two
zero eleven fifty eight seven seven five two zero eleven fifty is the phone number,
John Jeff hold on, We'll get to you. Is this Clipper Stock
with Adams and here on the Patriot Am I had money on my man?
I can never get it up. And every time I come up in the
baulding, everybody had gone up, and they stay the havel and they stay
al and they day to have don I do it? Please? Where eating
it you're going? This is the official home of your La Clippers beats and
suppots de dates on the rim and the home of the Clippers. If Man
is the father of the Sun, is a cent to the earth in the
middle of the universe, then why is this first coming? Six times?
Red hearse? Don't freestyle much when I write him like such word? Amost
the fiends controlled by the screens? What does it all mean? All this
now seen human beings screaming? Focus own. The Clippers make it seventh straight.
They win in Detroit in a game where they were down by eleven with
under five minutes left, but they were a plus thirteen in the last five
five minutes and Reggie Jackson hits a game winner. They win one hundred to
ninety eight over his former team in the Detroit Pistons. Welcome back into Clippers
Talk. I'm Adam Moslin at eight seven seven five two zero eleven fifty eight
seven seven five two zero eleven fifty. Reggie Jackson he got game all season
long. They got two guys on veteran's minimums I've played so far, Abuffet,
it's unbelievable. Between he and Nicholas Batoum, who also came up big
late, had a Batoon block slays Matombo block tomb but just two of seven
from the field and still makes huge plays. But a Mere Coffee is somebody
we've talked about sporadically this season, and he has the huge steal to get
the ball back for Reggie to be able to knock down that jumper, and
you just knew he was gonna hit it. But a Mere Coffee made some
big time lutch plays. He had a nice lay up, a spinning layup
in the lane in the fourth quarter. He had a tip in in the
first half. He was a plus twenty one in twenty eight minutes in a
game they won by two. That doesn't happen. This group is doing special
things with different guys making plays, winning plays, and finding ways to get
a win when they really had no business winning this ball game. I'm sure
that's how the Detroit Pistons feel right now. I mean, I thought I
was gonna have to talk about the Clippers being a twelve cylinder car engine,
a Ferrari when they have everybody available to be in just you know, a
geometro or something like that without their starting five tonight, since they're playing in
the Motor City not the case. You can't ever count this bench out.
Bench players became starters, guys who were tenth man tenth men on this team.
They stepped up Boogie Cousins tonight. In this game, he had eight
points in fifteen minutes. I thought looked pretty good overall. He missed some
mid range jumpers, but he's moving well. To me, that's the most
encouraging thing in his game. Right now, CEJ and al Hambra, you're
on Clippers talk after they come through again late they win one hundred to ninety
eight over the Detroit Piston. CJ, what's up? This is crazy?
I mean, this is absolutely beautiful, man. You know you want to
talk about the waving game, waving last and waving hardest action. Jackson said,
okay, you wave me. Let me wave bye bye as I go
to championship contention. They I mean, Reggie Jackson was insane. And you
want to talk about Nick Patun. I kind of think Batun is French for
eat Fresh, because he's going to be our sub of the game every game.
This guy is insane. I think Jersey Mikes might want to double down
on this because the Tomb is a bad man. But you know, one
thing that I really loved was that Twin Casey kind of tried to pull the
chair on us, especially in the third quarter, allowing us to go inside
and try to battle it out with Charren's man, and we persevered. This
is a typical case of tortoise versus the hair, you know what I mean.
I know you've inclinated that it's a flipping of the switch, but tortoise
versus the hair is the way that this team's going down. Man Ninja kicked
the damn rabbit. That's I think Michael Agela said, and teenage muting Ninja
turtles and they were washing tortoise versus the hair. Clippers win while only scoring
one hundred points. This is a team that averages one fifteen a game.
They shot under It's remarkable that they were able to keep it close enough.
And since I was talking about Nicholas Batoum, I want to reiterate what he
did at the end of that third quarter in fact even better, we got
the call from no Eagle Rondo at the mid core logo calling out the play
with seven seconds left, moving to his right off a screen to patom top
of the key, pump fake one triple three ball from straight away. He
got filved and he put it in Nick Battoum. When you need a big
play, who are you gonna call Big Daddy Battoum. With a four point
opportunity, the Clippers could have been down eight headed into the fourth quarter.
That completely changes the complexion of the game. There's more confidence with Detroit.
Perhaps they go on a bigger run and they're up by twenty and the Clippers
don't have that opportunity to come back. Just down eleven with five minutes left,
they put the game out of reach. That could have happened there,
But Saint Nicholas Batoum been doing it all season long, as so many players
here have. But the mix with this group Our Last Color, Our Color
Earlier. Chad last segment was talking about the joy of watching this team when
they're undermanned, when guys have to at times just play above their heads and
find ways to win ball games without their superstars. But there's a joy.
You can tell on the court. These guys just like each other. They're
having fun out there. They talk about it all the time, which is
why the last three games they had over thirty assists in three games straight.
Tonight they win even with just ten assists because they just missed so many open
shots and good looks from the outside. Everything was going against them. They
looked like a team that just ran out of gas and didn't have enough horsepower
in the Motor City to beat the Detroit Pistons. With Jeremy Grant back,
who was great. I should also mention a Beata Zubats had eighteen and thirteen.
Sixteen of those points came the first half, but he had a big
putback in the fourth quarter and was physical, physical, physical, Olivia Newton
John levels of physical. He's so much more aggressive out there now. He
looks like someone who is just brimming with confidence. There were times the last
couple of seasons where he just wasn't playing enough out there, and now he
plays thirty two minutes. He's been awesome starting the last month. Without Sergebaka,
I don't know where they would be without him, or without Reggie Jackson
in the starting lineup. Because of injuries Vitsa Zubots. As Noah Eagle point
out pregame, it's not just the dunks. He's got the zooal cinder in
him, the hook shots, the skill around the rim. I like to
say he's the long lost Gassaul brother. He has some of that game in
him. You don't always see it, but here and there he's that good.
And he's only twenty four before we break here John. In Inglewood,
John, you're on Clipper Stock with Adam Oslind after they win a game.
They really look to be finally falling down after a six game winning street.
They come back and win by two. In Detroit, John, you're on
Clipper Stock. What's up? Hey, Adam? You know it's Sean and
you know what, I'm gonna turn you up. My hearing's going. You
need a new screener. I don't know, but listen, there were so
many positives that came out of this game. And I love these type of
games when you're shorthanded, to see what the bench is made of. And
they really proved themselves because, let's face, the shot wasn't falling so many
times they could the game up and let me just give you a couple of
positives there there. First of a boy cousin, he proved tonight and other
games. I saw even though short time stands and he was on the floor,
that he can be a low post, go two guys, and that
you can actually run the offense rebody when the low post, and then the
course of these double teams, he can pass it out to the shooters.
Other partly of the course of always liked Coffee's game, especially when he's in
there. At the same time Terrence Mann is in the game, because they
seem to this disrupt thing and they make things happen. And sometimes this energy
or sometimes the steel, or sometimes you vote, but they make things happen.
And in that fourth quarter when you know all the ships are down,
they didn't give up. They just showed in tessimal quarter twos, they showed
the will to win. And this team is prepared for the playoffs. This
team is prepared to go all the way. This was a very important win,
by the way, because Brooklyn mongst tonight and the Clippers have a better
record than Brooklyn, and then Friday, when they go in and beat Philadelphia
in Philadelphia, they'll have a better record than anybody in the East. Hope
and fans will be back by this summer at the game from the playoffs,
and home court advantage will be with the Clippers because they will point to the
West and that's who's going to happen because everybody on the team is more focused
than they've ever been, and everybody that you bring in just tears it up
and they play together with no eagles in the flow is Austin is great to
see selfless basketball. They've been doing it all season long. Thank you,
Sean not John in Inglewood, you brought up a mere coffee there. One
of the things I like about running the board maybe anyway thing is that I
have the highlights right in front of me. And he made. As there
were many big time plays when you snatch victory from the hands of defeat,
here was a mere coffee making the steal of the game. As things were
tied up at ninety eight with fifteen seconds left, Wayne Ellington, the shooter
is in sidike Bay. Another shooter will inbound Frank Jackson plumb lad around out
the five, so Bay gets it down on the far sideline around a couple
of strange Frank Jackson now booked the way by Coffee nearly take it away.
It is Terrence Man has it and they call it time out. Coffee doesn't
make that play. Detroit could make a shot there. They could have had
their own game winner. It was critical, and give credit to coach Lou
for having him in in the right position at the right time to make that
play. I just can't believe he's a plus twenty one in a game they
won by only two. The plus minus category I think it works better in
hockey overall, but there's definitely something to it, and I think it does
connect to what a mere coffee meant to this team out there tonight. He
had two steals, but none bigger than that one right there. He also
had seven boards. And the Clippers, We've been saying it all week,
they're just finding ways to win games late now, games they might have not
won earlier in the season, but now they're fifteen and four post All Star
Break, longest winning streak in the NBA. They flip things around defensively,
they showed that tonight Offensively. We're never worried when this team is healthy,
but for them to make buckets when they needed to, for them to catch
fire and outscore the Pistons by thirteen in the last five minutes. When the
Clippers had scored just nine points in the first seven minutes of the fourth quarter,
they have eighteen points. They double that in just the last five minutes
alone. Impressive, impressive victory. And there's so buddy, guys. It's
the ultimate team type of win. But game ball. Reggie Jackson twenty nine
points, had eleven of those on the first quarter, didn't score in the
second, and then it looked like in the third quarter was intent on making
sure he got it going again. Had eight more points in the third and
got it going and got them going to Philadelphia. Feeling good with the way
he played late in the fourth quarter. I got to add up just how
many of his ten points in the fourth ended upcoming in those last five minutes
when they were down eleven. I'm guessing old ten of them did. Can't
be sure about that. Luke Kennard was also going up against his old team
and got just his second double double in his career, tied a career high
with ten rebounds. While he did struggle from the field, I felt like
he was press seeing at times going up against his former team. That can
happen. He was at least being aggressive, though still attempt at seventeen shots.
Seventeen points to get seventeen shots, it's not that efficient, but he
knocked down a couple of free throws, hit a shot in the fourth quarter.
It took everyone to make a comeback like this happen. Eight seven seven
five two zero eleven fifty eight seven seven five two zero eleven fifty is the
phone number. We will take a quick break here, we'll come back.
We'll have more Clippers talk. I'll have some postgame audio for you. Looking
for some Reggie Jackson postgame audio. I know he was on Prime Ticket afterwards.
Also, coach Lou spoke with the media after the Clippers. I'm not
calling it the impossible. Let's not get too crazy. We've seen this team
in the last three years come back down thirty one against the Golden State Warriors
with Kevin Rant but best win of the season under the circumstances. You want
to show your heart, will you win with all five starters while you're down
double digits late? Clippers win one hundred to ninety eight in Detroit. More
Clipper stock coming up next here on the Patriot AMLM fifty started rocking to Steve.
I come on, don't you know how I knew it? Concluse a
us all, Oh, how you rich yet? But you know I'm broke
ey. So this is the official home of your La Clippers. Becha Souppots
Deddes on the rim and the home of the Clippers catching the damn guitar.
Look, if you had one shot, one opportunity sees everything you ever wanted,
one moment that you captured, just let slip. Reggie Jackson wouldn't let
it slip. Back in Detroit against his former team in Eminem's town, he
hits the jumper and the Clippers win by two over the Detroit Pistons with a
final score of one eight hundred. Excuse me, one hundred to ninety eight.
Everybody us that stop calling those numbers. Eight one hundred ninety eight eight
seven seven five two zero eleven fifty eight seven seven five two zero eleven fifty
is the phone number coming up here? We have postgame audio. I don't
know who it is yet, but we do have it mystery audio. I
like this, but first let's go to the mystery caller. But I know
who it is, even though it says a private number. It's Jeff in
Tarzana. Jeff, what's up here on Clippers stock after they come back down
eleven with five minutes left? You ever, job abam? They're playing Detroit?
Yeah, and they were missing all five starters, Jeff Ada. I
know that players get hurst. I know there's load management pomovis for years,
But how many of those guys were really first? I think all of them.
I think either they're hurt. Well, there's a difference between hurt and
injured. You have guys that are managing injuries right now that aren't exactly going
away overnight. And that's what PG thirteen has been dealing with with that right
foot. Okay, bos wrong with Marcus Morris tonight? He's still, I'm
guessing, is working through that calf injury that has had him missing games recently.
Okay, he was out for rest purposes, but he has been banged
up, so I'm using some deduction there to think, Okay, he's still.
Look, this is a team that is trying to peek in the playoffs.
Jeff. Okay, well, I'll tell you something. You know they
have as good as shot as anybody to win the championship. But they can
have the inconsistency of having one guy in and one guy out. They need
all their players to win. Well, Jeff let me of course. Yeah,
that kind of goes for everyone, including the Brooklyn Nets. That's the
deal. The healthiest team often you have a little bit of luck on your
side and you're able to get through the gauntlet in the playoffs. But that
the other night, at say, it's not the best team that's gonna win,
it's gonna be the healthiest team. Oftentimes it is that. But let
me ask you this. Yeah, when guys are healthy, when they are
reinserted into the starting lineup, no matter how many games they have missed,
they just fit right back in. This team just has that instant chemistry all
over the place. Yeah. Well, here's here's what I'm thinking at them.
We want to push the Lakers as far back as they can. You
know, I would like to see the Lakers in fourteenth places. But you
know what, as much as I don't like them, they are an outstanding
team, especially when Anthony Davis Lebron comes back, and you know, anything
can happen in a short series. And I just don't want them. Clippers
to just think because now they're ahead of the Lakers, that that means they're
gonna win. You know, I don't think they're gonna get complacent like that.
What happened last year, Adam was a tragedy, even though I don't
call that a championship. Playing only what forty games last year or fifty games
they played about seventy was it seventy games? Yeah? Are getting into the
bubble and playing the seeding games, okay, And I just think it's this
time. I heard another guy in another radio station that was complaining about all
the experts are now thinking that Lakers are not as good as the Clippers,
and I don't want all the experts to be wrong. Jeff, thank you
for the phone call. We need that showdown desperately. It would be great
for the city, especially if it happened in the Western Conference finals. It'd
be amazing. These are the two best teams in the Western Conference. Denver
was dealt a tough blow losing Jamal Murray, and that's devastating, not just
for him, not just for the Nuggets, for the league. Also because
he's such a great young player. I hope he can come back and be
the guy he was because last season. In the playoffs, he had multiple
fifty point games in the bubble. Remember, Denver didn't just come back on
the Clippers down three one. They did it in the first round against the
Utah Jazz. But I thought after making that move to get Aaron Gordon,
they had closed the gap somewhat against or with the Clippers and the Lakers when
all three teams are fully healthy. Mind you, the Utah Jazz are in
first place for a reason. They haven't dealt with as many injuries. They
are also very good, very talented, and I think people are downplaying just
how good they are. But I would have put Denver as the third best
team in the West, behind the Clippers and the Lakers. So it could
be a Lakers Denver first round series in that four five matchup. Your Clippers
right now are in the three spot and they could be taken on the Portland
Sheryl Blazers. Not a terrible matchup for them, considering how well they've been
able to guard Damian Lillard. Of course, be careful what you wish for
still to come up here on the show on Clipper Stock. We have far
bought essence, Shari, but I do want to get to this mystery post
game him audio after the Clippers have can at least say their most dramatic win
of the season. Damn it, it was their best win win at the
season. Missing all five starters, you can say, never a doubt,
Jeff. But come on, they were down eleven with five minutes left.
Let's see who's up first here with our post game audio. All right,
we'll go over to till mayor Hey, but hey, Tyke and grats on
the wine. You guys are down five intentionally found sort of intentionally fouled plumbly.
He makes both You know, how did you guys pull that game off?
I mean just like, yeah, we wanted to file plumbing early just
to give us more possessions. You know, No, he's not a great
freeblos shooter, got given credityfly maiding, but they wasn't able to run you
know, time off the clock to get their shots, so we just thought
about following him earlier. You know, he's not a great freebo shooter,
but like I said, give him the credit. He made him, but
it would allow us to get no more shots at the basket and just kind
of plan a percentages. So I just thought, you know, just that's
fout him early. Let's see what he does. But also I fought him
early. He give us more possession. Reggie hit the both the game tying
shot and the game winner. For you guys, uh, you know when
you're watching on the sideline, do you do you feel that momentum is there?
You almost feel like you can will it in at that point, like
how is your vision to you know on the sidelines that play. Yeah,
thought would will it in. You know, we didn't make shots all night.
We've been really hard for us to create shots, you know, you
know a lot of times on the floor. So I really have ten assists,
but you know, I just talked down to stretch. Our defense really
helped us out. You know, a couple of double teams and fires on
on Grant, you know, the inbounds playing with that the flesh and got
a steal. I got some big stops and that kind of got an offense
going with out in transition, got some easy basket. Reggie made the three
and then tea man you know on the atl just a quick two, you
know from lout of bounce. You know, give us a lot of clock,
a lot of time to play with. So our guys did the great
job of executing down to stretch on both ends of the floor. Joseph,
you can go ahead, hey Ti, the cameras caught you raising both fists
in the air after the final whistle. How satisfying our nights like this for
you as a coach? I was very satisfying. I mean, just more
solow for the guys. You know, we had a lot of guys out
and like I said, these young guys have been playing great our year.
If those guys who step up and play the way they did was huge,
you know, and just staying together, you know, never losing confidence,
you know, never bicker, and just staying with the game plan. Like
I said, I'll just having to those young guys to be able to come
through. Because all of them made big plays, you know, Lucannard a
couple of free throws, you know, Reggie the three and the and the
pull up to win the game. Team Man, the quick two and the
steel you know, a mirror deflection and the steel. So all those guys
contribute to Zoo, you know, the putback, and it was just you
know, a total team win. Like I said, they're just having to
be young guys. They're just don'thing for us to keep building up up,
Mason England, I just wondered if you could take us through that last after
a mirror at the deflection, you guys have possession. What was it?
What was the conversation the huddle. Was it just we're gonna let Reggie walk
it up and he'll decide it for us, or was there a play call?
What was the discussion? Like it was just really just open one,
just bring it up. I'll take the ball full court and then you know
at seven seconds two two, why pass? I kind of occupied and Reggie
go one on one in the middle of the floor to get the last shot,
and like I said, he did it. Did it to a team
you know, welcome down, got to a spot and it made a big
shot lay. You can go ahead. Today was the end of the Markus's
ten days and he came in and contributed, brought a level of physicality.
Just wanted to know what you saw from him today and if you're look forward
to him continue on with this roster, Yeah, we look forward for him
to continue. He was big for us. You know. Just the sufferest
thing is ways in the game is hard to run plays because you know,
he's really hasn't called up yet as far as on the plays because we haven't
had a lot of practice time, So that kind of stumps us a little
bit. But I guess play just knowing the game is acute. We had
to shoot it to post up. Like I said, a brank physicality is
great bar our team. We just got to get him up to speed in
the playbook just so we can kind of, you know, call more sets.
You know, when he's in the game, take two more far back
and go ahead it coach served as Banaskeda for and I know that a lot
of the times. Earlier, I Reggie was joking about how his teammates coaching
staff didn't wanted to take out the glasses. But after tonight and seeing him
hit all these clutch shots, He's really not gonna be able to take it
off now, is he? Keep mom man rip Hamilton's he got a word
of galls for the rest of his career and to Marry can close this up.
You touched up earlier, but the tennis sist you guys had thirty thirty
one, thirty four and thirty five. I think the last couple of games
shooting was a struggle, but just like what are your trip be the tennis
sists too, And I guess you know, I think you guys had six.
I don't do that over there. Well, no, no, because
you guys still find a way to win. You guys are still in the
game despite having a little assists total. I know, I'm saying, because
like if you don't have Paz with two guys are gonna go into basketball those
guys getting down here and making plays, It's gonna be tough to really get
you know, really get clean open shots. And you know, like our
guys they trying an all the night, trying to create, but it's tough.
We can switch all of them, you know, one through four,
sometimes switching to one through five, and that's not really be able to take
advantage of it, you know, so that kind of hurt us, not
be able to put two on the basketball. So that right there's gonna you
know, lower your assist total and then outside of that not making shots too.
So you know, when you have those key pieces out, you know,
sometimes you get just find ways to win games. However you can do
it. And like I said, I'm part of our guys, but tonight,
just by the way they kept competing. We didn't make a lot of
shots. Like said, offense wasn't great, it wasn't pretty, but we
just kept fighting, kept clawing, you know, Kevin grinding, and that's
my part of our team. But chances your question, like you know in
PG and Marcus and and Kawhi are out. You know, it's tough to
generate points a lot of nights. But I said, our effort and Angie
defensively can always be there, and I thought would be the great job of
the people, the nest I have in the basketball. There was the head
coach lu post game after the Clippers come back down eleven with less than five
minutes left, and yes, Reggie Jackson had all ten points or all ten
points that he did have in the fourth quarter. They came during that ridiculous
comeback in the last five minutes and it sounded like we had some some breaking
news there. But head coach Lou he was at least inferring that Boogie Cousins
is going to continue on as a Clipper. I'd see that's good news.
I like the way Boogie is moving out there, and they need that third
center, especially right now without Sergebaca. Clippers winning a one hundred ninety eight
in Detroit over the Pistons. Coming up next, while more postgame audio you'll
hear from Reggie Jackson and my friend farbard Essen. Shari will be here.
You're listening to Clippers talk. I'm out of Oslin and this is the Patriot
AM eleven fifty because South Chicks back. This is the official home of your
La Clippers beat to suppots de nades on the rim and the home of the
Clippers being on some chicks. We go zero two one hundred real quick.
Maybe you on a rep to pay the bills and now fit it not even
a little bill. Oh lord know yourself, No, you're worked. My
ex has been a lot of am my words? How you so? I
was still so done on Earth talk about zero to one hundred. The Clippers
were down eleven in the final five minutes. They win by a score of
one hundred to ninety eight over the Detroit Pistons. Welcome back into Clippers stock.
I'm Adam Oslin, taking you till the top of the hour here on
the Patriot AM eleven fifty eight seven seven five two zero eleven fifty eight seven
seven five two zero eleven fifty is the phone number joining the show right now
is the Hot Bod far board. Does anyone else remember those commercials? They
were a little nuts that far that Hot Bod cologne spray that came out of
like a fabreeze can. I'm sorry, but the Clippers were hot late.
They come back, they win. Far About Essen Shari is our guest here
far About. I thought this win showed their will, their resolve. It's
been there all season long, but also that ability to execute down the stretch
under dress and those are all championship team like traits, and the Clippers did
it tonight with their backups. Yeah, I mean they It was one thing
when they were down eleven. It was another thing when they were down five
with like forty seconds last because it was like they were down five or forty
seconds and I think Detroit had the ball todode like, that's not a situation
you win. Really somehow they're going to seven oh run in the final forty
seconds of the game, and so many times they've been on the opposite and
end of that this season, it feels very good for that to happen to
the end this time. It had to feel good for Reggie Jackson to bury
his former team that left him dead and buried and waived him last season and
he was dealing with a back injury in Detroit. He didn't have the same
explosiveness last year. He was hurt at times. This year he's fully healthy
and along with Nicholas Patum, they are the best bargains in the game.
But for him to hit that shot, and I won't even call it a
hero shot even though he is one, because he was that hot and it
was an open look for him that he was able to create for himself.
But he goes for a season high twenty nine points. What can you say
about what Reggie has meant to this team all season long? And a lot
of the fact that that Patrick Beverly has only played in forty games. I
mean, it's a crazy season because there's so many guys you want to say
are important when there's Zoom stepping up and place the surge, but Toombs stepping
up and Reggie stepping up, it's just been a season where every single role
player has played huge, huge, huge roles where you wouldn't be anywhere without
some of these guys, Like if Reggie isn't playing at the level he's playing,
I don't know. There's so many games the Slippers would have lost.
And you know, granted he can have moments of you know, going really
well and moments of kind of questionable decisions. He's been more really well this
season than anything, and I think it showed a big difference in last season
when they got him. Think I'm at the trade deadline. The hiatus happens
like three weeks later, and he stays in a hotel for the entire hiatus,
never really gets time to get acclimated at anything. And now it seems
like you can really see the difference with him getting acclimated to the team.
Far bod Essenshari is my guest here on Clippers Talk after Reggie Jackson hits a
game winner over his former team in the Detroit Pistons and the Clippers win one
hundred to ninety eight. It is their seventh straight victory. Follow far Boat
at farbot underscore E on Twitter. Farbot is you like to say big batoon
blocks. I like big Daddy battoon blocks. We like Batumbo as well.
I'm going to a place to talk about Nicholas Batoum and what he's meant to
them defensively. The last couple of games he helped kind of ignite that defense
when there wasn't much of any. The Clippers were much better defensively tonight.
But he also has just come up so huge all season long and had the
four point play at the end of the third quarter. Without that, I
don't know if they could have ab could have been able to muster up the
energy to come back on a Detroit team that might have been a little bit
more confident entering that fourth quarter they were up eight instead of four. Yeah,
I mean, he's it just feels like everybody's hit the fountain of youth
all of a sudden, all their veterans. But every every game it feels
like he hits the clutch shot. He somehow just manages to hit the most
like unexpected and the most important shots of the game. We were like,
oh wow, I guess that happened. And him and Reggie have just been,
you know, stepping it up all year, and you can tell it's
because of the environment that they're in. Even when you know when Reggie when
he hit that game winner, he said it was because of all the confidence
his teammates gave him. That everybody kept telling him the entire time, you're
gonna make the shot, don't worry about it, And that Tyler drew the
play up for him too, it seems like but Tom has that same level
of confidence from his teammates. Just the vibes all around are much different this
season. I think last season they were struggling to figure out how to go
from being the underdog to the overall favorite and now they've kind of slipped under
the radar again, and it just seems like the vibes and the pressure is
much different. Good vibes, y'all. Terrence Man brings those plus buckets,
plus a love that he always goes and hugs everybody. He hugged to Marcus
Cousin, hug Steve Ballmer. You just always see him all super excited hugging
somebody at the end of a big win. Hey, that's how tight this
group is. But obviously he had two of the biggest plays late, the
big throwdown, But more impressively to me was the fact that he kicked it
back out to Reggie Jackson to tie the game with that three pointer after Nicholas
Batoum stole it from Jeremy Grant. But to make a play like that in
just his second year to have the wherewithal and the presence of mine and the
court awareness to know that they needed a three. Reggie is hot, he
can kick it back out for an open one. Terrence Man has been unbelievable.
But in the fourth quarter he makes so many winning plays tonight obviously no
different. Yes, it's again one of those stories where somebody else is just
somehow stepped up and well, you could see his games evolved entirely different during
the course of the season. There was a point in the season where if
Terence Mann was in the corner for a three, he was like thirty six
percent or thirty five percent, Like if you were the opposition, you'd want
him to take it. Now, I think he's in the fifties. It's
not the fifties and the high high forties. So it's his game is entirely
different, and he's playing with a much different swagger and it attests to everyone
on the team where even you looked at like like a guy like a mere
coffee, look at him. He's making huge plays every single game that he's
in, Like every single guy on the team, even Patrick Patterson big plays
when he's in a lot of times too. Every guy on the team you
could argue deserves a roster spot on any team. Coach Lou called it a
TTW, a total team win. He also and can you confirm this for
me? He seemed to allude to the fact that Boogie Cousins would be sticking
around longer as his ten days are up. Yeah, he said. They
asked if he was gonna, you know, continue after ten days, and
he said, we're looking forward to continuing with him beyond these ten days.
So he didn't say anything about like if they're going to sign him or he
was gonna get signed to another ten days. He just made it sound like
they are going to use him past these ten days without any specifics. Do
you like his fit his role on this team especially? I thought he played
pretty well at times in this one. Was a plus zero out there,
but I mean did have a turnover, but had eight points and they need
somebody else like that, even if just having that big body, especially come
the playoffs. Yeah, it seems like he still hasn't I mean, I
think Kay had mentioned it. He hasn't really gotten that much time to practice,
and you can kind of tell with Boogie like he's just being himself.
And relying on talent, but he's he hasn't really figured out the systems yet.
But he does a good job of being an agitator in the post and
drawing fouls, and he does a pretty good job of getting those rebounds.
So I think if he can fine tune his game in the way that you
know Reggie or Batum has with this team, he could be a good,
you know, solid contribution. And we still don't know how long Surge is
going to be out for. I think he might be out for at least
another two to three weeks at least, So I mean, bro, he's
gonna get playing time far by. Let's be real here, how many times
did you think the Clippers were out of this game? In your final in
the fourth quarter, like at least three times there was a point where they
kept getting steals and then they just wouldn't score on like layup or really close
mid range shots, and then it was like, hey, eight points or
something, and I was like, all right, it's over. And I
think that I expected it to be over at least three times. But even
even in the final forty seconds, you're you're down five with the other team
having the ball at forty seconds like it's kind of over. But somehow Reggie
Jackson was a part of a comeback against the Clippers in the playoffs and they
were you know, up five up, and don't get me started about those
reps. Yes against the Okay, he fouled CP three on that play he
did in that game. I remember that was when I was an intern,
right. I had the text loaded up in my phone on the intern group
check up three two. Oh my god, this is wild and I never
never got to send that text. I feel like this Clippers team with Reggie
Jackson can have some of that luck. The basketball gods certainly owe them.
Uh they've been due for a while now to have a little bit of that
luck on their side as it usually takes to win a championship. Sometimes it
is things like that that make all the difference in the world. He is

news such as, oh, I don't know James Harden going to the Nets
a month before Adrian Ward Tarowski or Shams and his missiles had it. Far
Bought thanks for coming on tonight. I appreciate it, man, thank you.
And I can't stress enough how good of a win this was. When
your fifth game, seven nights back to back, second night on the road,
shoot under forty percent from the field, shoot under thirty percent from three,
and you somehow got it it out. It's just a great wit.
I thought there was gonna be a punchline there at the end, and you
were going to take credit for it because you were coming on Clippers Stock tonight
and you've had that good luck in the past. Nah. I actually was
expecting, like we're gonna going lot farbough. We'll talk soon, my friend.
Thanks so much for coming on Clipper Stock. Before we get out of
here, let's hear from the mid of the hour, Reggie Jackson post game
here you Reggie, congrats on the win. After the game, you were
talking to Brian Semen and Mike for Tello and you called Detroit home. How
much did this city, these fans helped shape the person that we see before
us tonight? Everything I said left Oklahoma City, young young boy, just
want an opportunity, you know, a chance to prove myself in this league
and to come here, play here for five and a half seasons. It
was a blessing, honestly was a blessing. Is shaping, you know,
the ups and downs of the league, the tough nights, the joyous times,
learning how to try to be consistent. You know, it shaped me
on and off the course. So I'm private thankful for my time spent here.
And you know, other than when we were playing them playing, you
know, the Pistons die definitely, Mother Texans, you know, the old
guys who are here at the facility still with their organization. I wish him
the best. I always wish him the best forever, and I have a
pistol blover and through my veins, and so I'm forever thankful and forever and
gratitude, you know for with this organization and sitting up on thank you thanks.
Would it be Team Reggie? Can you take you through that sequence from
your perspective when you guys were down ninety eight ninety three, Terris gifts this
basket, you get the three to steal the other steal and doing all of
that without your top weapons out there, with no Kawai, no Paul Josh
Marcus. How'd you guys pull this off? Just being a resilient group.
Honestly, it's the team is with ours and downs, with our injuries,
that we're just staying throughout the year. With guy's been in all up.
I think, you know, it's been little tops of turvy. It's been
tough four us of times, but I think it's shaking us into who we
are find away, continue to lean on each other as brothers. Final Weight
team hold home despite you know, whatever the situation might be at night,
and to get a win, you know, without those guys out with pad
out. We wanted to keep a shrink alot. But I'm really proud of
the way our young guys battle, where they continue to fight, the way
they never gave up kind of ways to get stops, kown ways and take
a generate offense. And like I said, I'm just proud of this this
group and just happy to be a part of this group. Thanks to me
too. We go to Miriam, Hey, Reggie, congrats man. I
wanted, uh you mentioned resilience, Like how how hard is it though to
sort of kind of keep fighting in this situation when being so shorthanded and then
just you know, having to be such an offense and struggle like I mean,
it would be understandable, like a human nature at some point for you
guys to go, well, okay, six in a row, that's enough.
Yeah, I think it would be easy to pop out and ahead and
the rest of the ways. Wrest on that shriek that we had. But
I'm just proud of when we repeated and I know what I'm saying, I
explaying Okahoma City was you started saying with a young dumn athletic And I fortunate
enough we have some of our young guys out there just shawn athleticism, their
competter nature and find the ways to get stops, you know. Like I
said, the whole team was there doing everything they do. Nicks. Oh,
we'll have more from Reggie coming up in our very next show. But
we're up against it here. And I did want to let Morris and Long
Beach get on before we get out. Morris, what's up yard Clippers stock
Adam. I just wanted to listen North and call the game. This brother
can call a game. If you think Johnny Moss and Jack Kin got a
going on, this guy can call the game. I mean, you got
to stop what you're doing. When No Eagle is calling me, I'm not
kidding you. It's not a bit with Detroit. Who's getting excited about me?
I was excited when jack did hit that shout out said, oh my
god, this is a big deal. This guy can call the game.
That's all I want to say at them to you next time. That's why
I wanted to bring you on. He's the future goat for a reason.
Enjoy him. Clipper Nation, you got another good one. Clippers win again.
