WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:04.320 The game is over. Paul George money in the pain, but the postgame 2 00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:09.759 reaction has just begot Cohi Leonard is so smooth in the mid range. This 3 00:00:10.080 --> 00:00:13.919 is Clippers Locker Room, a recap of today's game and a look ahead on 4 00:00:14.039 --> 00:00:18.839 your home for LA Clippers basketball at now your host, You, sir, 5 00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:26.160 are a bad man Adam Ousley. An exciting game, but some excruciating pain 6 00:00:26.280 --> 00:00:30.920 for Clipper Nation as they lose by one with a score one seventy six to 7 00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:36.359 one seventy five in favor of the Kings. Here from downtown Los Angeles. 8 00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:40.560 Kings win in double overtime. Welcome into your postgame show. I'm outam Oslin 9 00:00:41.240 --> 00:00:45.280 coming up. We'll get to your second half highlights. We'll also hear from 10 00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:47.719 the head coach and the players after this one. But first back to your 11 00:00:47.799 --> 00:00:52.039 voice of the Clippers in Noah Eagle. Noah. To say they had their 12 00:00:52.119 --> 00:00:57.039 chances is an understatement. They had large leads of fourteen points with five minutes 13 00:00:57.119 --> 00:01:00.280 left on the fourth quarter, nine points six points in both over time. 14 00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:03.519 They just simply couldn't close it. Look, the Kings came into this game 15 00:01:03.680 --> 00:01:08.000 second in the NBA in halftime combax when they trailed at halftime. The Kings 16 00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:12.239 coming in had twelve wins coming back and winning the games. The only thing 17 00:01:12.280 --> 00:01:15.239 that was ahead of them coming into this game was the Clippers, who have 18 00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:19.159 thirteen wins when trailing at halftime this year, so now they're all even in 19 00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:22.400 that category. After the Clippers led by four following two quarters, I mean, 20 00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:23.920 this was just one of the most remarkable games I've ever seen. I've 21 00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:27.400 never seen a scoring output like this. I've never seen a game in which 22 00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:34.120 like neither defense could do anything essentially, And you're right, you could count, 23 00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:38.079 however, many times that the Clippers had chances the big leads that they 24 00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:42.680 coughed away. I think it goes back to the shot that they allowed from 25 00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:45.840 a league monk at the end of regulations. That's the game right there. 26 00:01:45.879 --> 00:01:47.840 You get one stop, you win the game. And it felt like that 27 00:01:47.879 --> 00:01:51.400 a couple of times for this team. They couldn't secure the consistent stops, 28 00:01:51.879 --> 00:01:55.120 and eventually the Kings, who deserve a lot of respect, are currently third 29 00:01:55.120 --> 00:01:57.920 in the West for a reason because they've won games like this all year. 30 00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:01.879 They had Siponas foul out pretty early in overtime. He only played thirty one 31 00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:06.400 minutes. But Daron Fox, an All Star League monk, played like an 32 00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:08.360 All Star, and even with Kawhi Leonard going for a Clippers career high of 33 00:02:08.439 --> 00:02:13.039 forty four and playing some menacing defense when they needed him, he just ran 34 00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:15.039 out of gas. And with Paul George being on that minute restriction he had, 35 00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:17.680 he was the one who was guiding them in the fourth quarter in overtime, 36 00:02:17.719 --> 00:02:22.120 just took over. After having just fourteen points in the first three quarters, 37 00:02:22.199 --> 00:02:24.159 he had twenty in the third, in the fourth quarter in overtime combined, 38 00:02:24.240 --> 00:02:28.240 so to put him on the bench, Russell Westbrook fouls out in double 39 00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:30.919 ot. It was just a perfect storm for the Clippers who just couldn't push 40 00:02:31.199 --> 00:02:35.360 over that line. And those are the These are just the tough ones to 41 00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:37.879 swallow. Look, there's a lot of good that came out of this game. 42 00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:39.039 There's a lot of good to take away from this game. I think 43 00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:44.039 there's a lot of positive momentum for this team. But man, this is 44 00:02:44.039 --> 00:02:46.759 gonna be a tough one to get over for anybody. And we're talking about 45 00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:50.800 the teams that are three and four in the West or were coming into this 46 00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:53.439 one. With the Clippers having a chance if they had one to get within 47 00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:58.000 half a game of the Sacramento Kings for that three seed. They will see 48 00:02:58.039 --> 00:03:02.000 them again coming up next week, but this one stings in a major way. 49 00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:07.080 Now, Russell Westbrook in his debut, did e quit himself? Well? 50 00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:12.240 He looked very good out there and seemingly blended in and I thought really 51 00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:15.719 deferred in a great way where he was in control and taking care of the 52 00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:17.080 basketball for the most part. You could tell there were a couple of times 53 00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:20.520 where he said should I drive it or should I set somebody up? And 54 00:03:20.520 --> 00:03:23.639 then he deferred to setting somebody up and it was probably the right choice. 55 00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:24.960 I mean, he had fourteen assists in this game. Adam, We've seen 56 00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:29.199 him have games where he's had twenty points, twenty assists and almost twenty rebounds. 57 00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:31.280 I mean, that's the type of player when he's at his peak performance 58 00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:36.439 that he can be. So seventeen fourteen times five rebounds, played thirty nine 59 00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:38.879 minutes in his first game with the team and ends up fouling out in double 60 00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:43.039 overtime. But he brought a spark. He brought a whole lot that this 61 00:03:43.080 --> 00:03:46.520 team just didn't really have to this point of the season. Really, it's 62 00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:49.840 the last couple of years of someone who can set the table. And you 63 00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:52.759 said it before, I don't know the last time we saw Kawhi Leonard and 64 00:03:52.800 --> 00:03:55.400 Paul George get that many catch of two threes and they absolutely made the most 65 00:03:55.400 --> 00:04:00.800 of them when it combined fourteen of seventeen from three point terrets with the Clippers 66 00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:03.360 actually set a franchise record and made threes tonight with twenty six of them. 67 00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:06.000 Now, of course it was double overtime. The last time they had twenty 68 00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:11.479 five that was in regulation, but still franchise record, made three franchise record 69 00:04:11.479 --> 00:04:13.919 in points. They had thirty nine assists in this game. At him. 70 00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:16.199 I mean, this is a team that barely averages twenty two. This is 71 00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:20.319 exactly what you expect with Russell Westbrook and you hope that he can continue and 72 00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:24.959 build off of this first performance because that's the other part of all of this. 73 00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:27.560 The Kings didn't really make any moves at the deadline. They brought in 74 00:04:27.639 --> 00:04:30.439 Kessler Edwards, who was a young player that maybe they could develop, but 75 00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:32.120 he's not in the rotation. They didn't make any moves. This is a 76 00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:35.040 team that's been together. The Clippers are still finding themselves and for them to 77 00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:40.160 put up one hundred seventy five points is pre impressive. Clippers fall one seventy 78 00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:44.360 six to one seventy five two the Sacramento Kings here from Crypto dot Com Arena. 79 00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:46.839 No time to hang their head. There's just twenty games left in the 80 00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:51.800 season, and the next one's coming up in Denver Sunday night against the reigning 81 00:04:51.920 --> 00:04:58.199 MVP, who might have another one coming his way this season with Nikoliokich and 82 00:04:58.319 --> 00:05:01.279 his stellar play. But the Clippers have Plumbly now. And let's not forget 83 00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:04.279 those two play together for some years. They know each other very well. 84 00:05:04.360 --> 00:05:08.839 I like it. The secret weapon in Mason plum Ly, plum Dog Millionaire 85 00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:14.120 babingos his tricks, the plumb God.

We'll have your pregame show starting here at six. 87 00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:19.759 No, you didn't have to work out today. I hope you didn't, 88 00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:21.839 because you got one during the ball game. You know, I got 89 00:05:21.839 --> 00:05:24.480 on the bike at him. You know how it is. You know the 90 00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:26.959 vibes come on now. That's the only way you could say in shape for 91 00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:30.120 a game like this. Apparently, great call is always my friend will talk 92 00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:32.439 to you on Sunday, Adam, I'm really not sure if I can strain 93 00:05:32.519 --> 00:05:36.360 my voice anymore. I'm going to anyway, can't wait at him covering up. 94 00:05:36.399 --> 00:05:40.399 Next, we'll try to get you some of those second half highlights and 95 00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:45.000 was one of the wildest games, not just the season, in NBA history, 96 00:05:45.879 --> 00:05:48.120 scoring game ever, Adam, there it is in the modern era. 97 00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:53.959 But the Clippers fall by one in doublet to the Kings, one seventy six 98 00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:57.920 to one seventy five was your final score. And you're listening to the Los 99 00:05:57.959 --> 00:06:13.959 Angeles Clippers radio network in double overtime, the Clippers fall by one to the 100 00:06:14.040 --> 00:06:19.879 Sacramento Kings here in downtown Los Angeles with a final score of Sacramento one seventy 101 00:06:19.920 --> 00:06:26.959 six the Los Angeles Clippers one seventy five, second highest scoring game in the 102 00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:30.199 history of the league. Welcome into your postgame show or back in. I'm 103 00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:34.240 Adam Oslin coming up. We're looking for postgame audio from the head coach and 104 00:06:34.360 --> 00:06:40.120 the players after this one. But let's get to those second half highlights. 105 00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:43.879 There were plenty of them in a high scoring game like this that started off 106 00:06:43.879 --> 00:06:47.240 of the first half where the Clippers led eighty to seventy six Kawhi Leonard. 107 00:06:47.519 --> 00:06:51.199 He had seventeen in the first half. He would outdo that in the third 108 00:06:51.319 --> 00:06:55.800 quarter alone. So the Clippers get to stop to start this third quarter in 109 00:06:55.839 --> 00:06:59.959 moving from left to right with Westbrook, George Clubly Leonard and Morris George crossover, 110 00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:02.360 drive middle into the paint. Blab it outside, swing it Leonard on 111 00:07:02.360 --> 00:07:06.600 the right wing. We'll try the three and connects Westbrook with his seventh assist 112 00:07:06.680 --> 00:07:12.319 of the night. Makes it eighty three seventy six. Barnes outside Westbrook extra, 113 00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:15.240 feed Leonard on right wing. Three, He's got another Kawhi Leonard with 114 00:07:15.319 --> 00:07:21.639 twenty three eighty six seventy eight eight assists for Russell, Westbrook, Westbrook left 115 00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:28.560 Green, leave it Leonard straight away three, he can't miss. Kawai ka 116 00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:34.120 boom twenty six and ten assists now for Westbrook ninety two eighty three. La 117 00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:38.639 Leonard's gonna have to make it happen. Step back straight away three over barns 118 00:07:38.759 --> 00:07:46.360 Oh Kawai cash is in its twenty nine for the claw and the Clippers lead 119 00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:51.160 ninety five eighty eight. Kawhi Leonard had twenty one in the third quarter alone, 120 00:07:51.279 --> 00:07:55.720 tying a career high for most points in a quarter from him, and 121 00:07:55.759 --> 00:08:01.519 the Clippers led one seventeen to one ten heading into the fourth where then Paul 122 00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:05.959 George started cooking. George now with met two on a crossover back and forth 123 00:08:05.959 --> 00:08:09.240 down the right alley to the rim, off the window, gets the bucket 124 00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:13.040 in the foul Pg. Thirteen with a whooping harm and he had a little 125 00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:18.720 something to say to Natalie's Sago after the fact. Paul George had sixteen in 126 00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:24.120 the fourth quarter, but the Clippers gave up a nine point lead with under 127 00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:28.360 three minutes left at two forty and Malik Monk would hit a three pointer to 128 00:08:28.519 --> 00:08:31.480 tie the game to send it into ot Kawhi Leonard had a look at a 129 00:08:31.559 --> 00:08:37.080 seventy footer that hit off the front of the rim, so we headed into 130 00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:43.440 overtime. In ot Clippers got off to a quick start. They led by 131 00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:48.320 six with three oh four left in overtime, but they would give up that 132 00:08:48.440 --> 00:08:52.759 lead as well and it was a tie game at one sixty four, all 133 00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:58.440 heading into double overtime, and deja vu happened again up six with now a 134 00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:03.840 minute fifty seven left in doublet and the Clippers couldn't get enough stops, couldn't 135 00:09:03.879 --> 00:09:09.919 execute well enough on offense, and they would eventually fall to Malik Monk and 136 00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:15.360 his forty five points in an unreal performance, one seventy six to one seventy 137 00:09:15.360 --> 00:09:20.120 five to the King's in double ot here in downtown Los Angeles. Coming up 138 00:09:20.120 --> 00:09:24.559 next on your postgame show, we'll preview Sunday night's game and looking for postgame 139 00:09:24.600 --> 00:09:30.759 audio from Coach Low and the players after eight historic night here at Crypto dot 140 00:09:30.799 --> 00:09:35.559 com Arena, but unfortunately it ends in a loss for the Clippers. They 141 00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:41.360 lose one seventy six to one seventy five. I did not stutter day what 142 00:09:41.480 --> 00:09:45.080 a score, What an unbelievable game. Tough one though, Clipper Nation. 143 00:09:45.360 --> 00:09:48.120 Coming up on AMP five seventy LA Sports, we'll have Clippers stock for you 144 00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:52.279 at eight six six ninety eight seven two five seventy eight six six nine eight 145 00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:56.200 seven two five seventy is the phone number. More postgame next here on Los 146 00:09:56.240 --> 00:10:09.120 Angeles Clippers Radio Network. Clippers losing double ot so the Sacramento Kings in downtown 147 00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:15.399 Los Angeles by a brace yourself score of one seventy six to one seventy five, 148 00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:22.200 second highest scoring game in the history of the NBA, but the Clippers 149 00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:26.399 lose it by one. You're looking at this final box score if you're asking 150 00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:31.840 for how teams could score that much, Well, they both were near sixty 151 00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:35.159 percent from the field and shot ridiculous numbers from the outside. The Clippers set 152 00:10:35.159 --> 00:10:41.240 a franchise record, hitting twenty six three pointers on fifty eight percent shooting, 153 00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:45.759 and the Kings they went eighteen to forty one. That's forty four percent from 154 00:10:45.799 --> 00:10:50.200 distance, and Malik Monk went six of twelve, none bigger than the one 155 00:10:50.279 --> 00:10:54.519 he hit at the end of regulation to send it into overtime. He went 156 00:10:54.600 --> 00:10:58.240 for forty five back in a place he knows well here at Crypto dot Com 157 00:10:58.240 --> 00:11:01.559 Arena was a Laker last season and was able to outduel Kawhi Leonard and his 158 00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:07.519 forty four, just one shy of his career high of forty five. Paul 159 00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:11.720 George gave the Clippers thirty four. Norman Powell off the bench had twenty four. 160 00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:15.399 Nicholas Patum got off the snide from three. He went five of ten 161 00:11:15.879 --> 00:11:20.919 had nineteen points, but Clippers had twenty five turnovers, leading to forty two 162 00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:24.840 points for the Sacramento Kings. I've never seen a number like that in my 163 00:11:24.919 --> 00:11:33.919 life and hopefully never do again. Clippers next game coming up on Sunday, 164 00:11:33.960 --> 00:11:37.679 they don't get any easier. They'll be in Denver taking on Nikola Yokich and 165 00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:41.840 the Nuggets.

They're going to go to the NBA Finals. 173 00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:22.639 I believe in my heart this is the best team in the history of the 174 00:12:22.639 --> 00:12:28.200 franchise. I am all about the Clipper Nation. This is Clippers Talk. 175 00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:31.960 They're trying to win the whole thing.

Here's Adam Oslin. Well, 179 00:12:52.080 --> 00:12:56.720 the Clippers were on the wrong side of a historic night, as you just 180 00:12:56.799 --> 00:13:01.799 witnessed the second highest scoring game in the history of the NBA, but the 181 00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:05.759 Clippers fall to the Kings in double overtime one seventy six to one seventy five. 182 00:13:07.080 --> 00:13:11.200 Welcome into Clippers Talk. I'm Atam Honslin eight six six nine eight seven 183 00:13:11.240 --> 00:13:15.080 two five seventy eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy as the phone 184 00:13:15.159 --> 00:13:20.000 number, or get to me on Twitter at follow Adam A coming up. 185 00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:24.279 We're looking for postgame audio from the head coach in tehron Low and from the 186 00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:28.720 players after this one, and William Updyke from Clips and Dip will be here 187 00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:33.360 as well. It was the debut for Russell Westbrook, and I thought overall 188 00:13:35.480 --> 00:13:39.960 he played pretty darnwell, played big minutes, was at thirty nine, had 189 00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:46.440 fourteen assists, did have seven turnovers, but hit a key layup at the 190 00:13:46.559 --> 00:13:50.240 end of the fourth quarter to put him up by three, only for them 191 00:13:50.279 --> 00:13:54.399 to see Malik Monk, who had forty five, hit a three pointer on 192 00:13:54.440 --> 00:14:00.679 the other end with about eight seconds left in the ballgame. Clippers did not 193 00:14:00.799 --> 00:14:03.799 to foul play the foul game. Put him at the free throw line, 194 00:14:03.799 --> 00:14:05.840 don't let him get a three pointer up in a game where guys were this 195 00:14:05.919 --> 00:14:09.360 hot from the outside. I was a little bit surprised by that, but 196 00:14:09.399 --> 00:14:11.200 I get it. A lot of coaches play it that way, and you 197 00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:15.039 don't want to foul a guy as he's going up and with the quick, 198 00:14:15.120 --> 00:14:18.360 quick release he has. That's a tough call, but that would send him 199 00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:26.240 into ot After Kawhi Leonard almost sunk a sixty five footer that would have been 200 00:14:26.279 --> 00:14:30.840 the shot of the year, and what was the game of the year, 201 00:14:31.080 --> 00:14:35.039 especially if you're a Sacramento Kings fan, if you're a Clippers fan, this 202 00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:41.000 one stinks. Not many moral victories left when there's only twenty games remaining in 203 00:14:41.039 --> 00:14:45.919 the season, and this was one against the team right in front of them 204 00:14:45.960 --> 00:14:50.799 in the standings in the Western Conference, where if the Clippers had won, 205 00:14:50.840 --> 00:14:54.240 they would have just been a half game backup Sacramento for the three spot. 206 00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:58.639 I'll update you when the standings coming up, as these two teams do play 207 00:14:58.679 --> 00:15:07.440 again next week in Sacktown. But it was a game lost by the turnovers 208 00:15:07.840 --> 00:15:13.320 where Sacramento ended up getting up thirteen more shots than the Clippers because the Clippers 209 00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:18.840 had just an abysmal twenty five turnovers, leading to forty two points for the 210 00:15:18.960 --> 00:15:26.080 Kings and had them in a key spot in the fourth quarter when they were 211 00:15:26.159 --> 00:15:31.799 completely in control. There were many ways this game was lost, but nothing 212 00:15:31.919 --> 00:15:39.639 stands out more than this. It started with the Clippers being up one forty 213 00:15:39.759 --> 00:15:46.919 five to one thirty one with four twenty five left in regulation Europe fourteen. 214 00:15:46.679 --> 00:15:52.519 Paul George's sunk a free throw. You gotta handle your business, but unfortunately 215 00:15:54.600 --> 00:16:03.200 they had back to back to back to back turnover. It was unreal to 216 00:16:03.240 --> 00:16:07.960 watch them unravel to that extent, but we've seen it at times this season. 217 00:16:08.279 --> 00:16:14.960 It started with a Russell Westbrook turnover, then PG had two of them. 218 00:16:15.039 --> 00:16:18.879 Then it was I believe Norman Powell getting called for an offensive foul on 219 00:16:18.960 --> 00:16:22.840 an inbounds play. It couldn't even get the ball in before they gave it 220 00:16:22.879 --> 00:16:29.519 back to Sacramento. That stuff can't happen, not at this point of the 221 00:16:29.559 --> 00:16:37.320 season. I know you're implementing some new guys, but this team has championship 222 00:16:37.360 --> 00:16:45.320 aspirations and for them to collapse to that level to give up a fourteen point 223 00:16:45.399 --> 00:16:48.399 lead with four to twenty five left in the fourth They were still up nine 224 00:16:48.440 --> 00:16:52.799 though with two forty left in the fourth quarter. Then they were up six 225 00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:57.159 with three or four left, and OT up six with one fifty seven left 226 00:16:57.200 --> 00:17:02.720 in double OT. It was like they were trying trying to outdo themselves with 227 00:17:02.879 --> 00:17:11.480 collapse after calamity and collapse. It was just an abysmal performance at the wrong 228 00:17:11.559 --> 00:17:17.599 time. Trap within a game where the Clippers went for a franchise high and 229 00:17:17.759 --> 00:17:22.400 points scored in three pointers made. But when they had to execute, and 230 00:17:22.480 --> 00:17:27.000 really when the games slowed down as they were playing at such a fast pace 231 00:17:27.079 --> 00:17:33.119 as we were opposed to seeing all season long, it was like they couldn't 232 00:17:33.119 --> 00:17:36.799 find their half court offense. They couldn't get the ball up the court. 233 00:17:37.519 --> 00:17:41.079 They didn't handle the traps and the double teams well from Sacramento to say the 234 00:17:41.160 --> 00:17:47.640 least. And they gave this one away multiple times. And that's an understatement. 235 00:17:48.319 --> 00:17:53.160 Brutal loss doesn't mean the season's over, doesn't mean they can't come back 236 00:17:53.200 --> 00:17:57.519 from this, doesn't mean they didn't have good performances like Kauai being one shy 237 00:17:59.599 --> 00:18:03.039 of his career high of forty five points. He had forty four. He 238 00:18:03.160 --> 00:18:10.240 had a third quarter to remember, tied his points high, his career points 239 00:18:10.319 --> 00:18:14.119 high for most points scored in a quarter with twenty one on eight of eight 240 00:18:14.240 --> 00:18:19.880 shooting, and hit five threes in the third alone, and had a shot 241 00:18:19.880 --> 00:18:25.200 and double overtime that he was short on with a jumper in the mid range 242 00:18:26.839 --> 00:18:29.240 that if he had got it to go, would have been a new career 243 00:18:29.319 --> 00:18:32.599 high for him with forty six and the Clippers would have had a great chance 244 00:18:32.640 --> 00:18:36.519 to go on to win this one. But for whatever reason, in this 245 00:18:36.680 --> 00:18:44.160 wild, bizarre, twilight zone type of game where you're just wondering, how 246 00:18:44.240 --> 00:18:48.440 is this even happening, David goes to the dentist. Is this real life? 247 00:18:49.279 --> 00:18:53.960 Because second high scoring game in NBA history, highest scoring game having back 248 00:18:55.000 --> 00:18:57.960 in nineteen eighty three when the Detroit Pistons beat the Denver Nuggets one hundred and 249 00:18:57.960 --> 00:19:03.079 eighty six one hundred and eight were in triple overtime, just double ot here. 250 00:19:03.119 --> 00:19:04.680 If they got to three overtimes, they definitely were going to break that 251 00:19:04.759 --> 00:19:11.920 record. But the Clippers lose by one, with a final score of one 252 00:19:11.039 --> 00:19:15.799 seventy six to one. Seventy five. It's just comical to even look at. 253 00:19:17.599 --> 00:19:21.599 And you can certainly go after both teams defensively and say, oh, 254 00:19:21.640 --> 00:19:25.039 the NBA doesn't play defense anymore. Well, I just gave you that number 255 00:19:25.079 --> 00:19:30.000 from nineteen eighty three, an era that is looked back upon fondly, that 256 00:19:30.079 --> 00:19:34.119 has the all time scoring record. And I will say this, the degree 257 00:19:34.119 --> 00:19:38.200 of difficulty on some of those shots by Malik Monk just unconscious stuff. I 258 00:19:38.200 --> 00:19:42.640 don't know what you do. Kawhi tried. He was getting around screens, 259 00:19:44.119 --> 00:19:48.640 he was taking deep shots, and Daron Fox was getting into the paint. 260 00:19:48.680 --> 00:19:53.559 And Kawhi even had a couple of blocks against him in ot spectacular plays or 261 00:19:53.599 --> 00:19:56.640 Daron Fox was in transition. I don't know if I've ever seen this before. 262 00:19:57.279 --> 00:20:04.519 Kauai was the only man back to defend it and did it was well 263 00:20:04.759 --> 00:20:08.559 telling for a two time Defensive Player of the Year. It's what he does. 264 00:20:10.319 --> 00:20:11.640 But I don't know if I've ever seen that happen to dear and Fox 265 00:20:11.680 --> 00:20:15.559 who typically just sidesteps, euro steps around a guy, or just floats it 266 00:20:15.559 --> 00:20:21.359 over the top, and he couldn't against Kauai. This will be a game 267 00:20:22.279 --> 00:20:27.480 to be remembered you ain't gonna forget this one. It stings, It hurts 268 00:20:27.839 --> 00:20:33.839 because of the standings, because of the implications, But this is one we're 269 00:20:33.880 --> 00:20:37.200 gonna be thinking about for a long time for a lot of different reasons. 270 00:20:37.799 --> 00:20:45.759 Ultimately, the Clippers lose it. Offensively, they looked incredible the amount of 271 00:20:45.880 --> 00:20:52.160 easy looks that Kawai and Paul George got. I feel like they got more 272 00:20:52.599 --> 00:20:57.359 catch and shoot open threes than they had all season long. And it was 273 00:20:57.440 --> 00:21:02.680 Russ dishing a lot of those passes to them, but everyone out there seemed 274 00:21:02.720 --> 00:21:06.440 to be re energized. The ball was moving, it was hopping. They 275 00:21:06.440 --> 00:21:10.720 had twenty assists in the first half to twenty five made field goals, as 276 00:21:10.759 --> 00:21:15.519 assisting on eight percent of your makes. They end up with thirty nine assists. 277 00:21:17.759 --> 00:21:21.039 I'm guessing that's a franchise high. I'm trying to compile and find all 278 00:21:21.039 --> 00:21:25.000 this stuff because it's a historic night. There's gonna be a lot of firsts. 279 00:21:26.039 --> 00:21:30.680 But the twenty five turnovers did them in and maybe the pace that they 280 00:21:30.799 --> 00:21:33.400 tried to play Sacramento at with which the Kings are much more comfortable in. 281 00:21:33.440 --> 00:21:37.359 They've been doing it all season. They've been doing it for a couple of 282 00:21:37.400 --> 00:21:44.400 seasons, they got sped up and eventually sped out with too many of those 283 00:21:44.400 --> 00:21:48.200 turnovers, trying to play at a tempo they weren't quite ready for yet. 284 00:21:48.759 --> 00:21:57.160 I say that, and they still or a three pointer away from the league 285 00:21:57.240 --> 00:22:03.240 monk hitting. And they in this ball game so many ways they could have 286 00:22:03.279 --> 00:22:08.079 won it, so many players that were right there, and the Clippers didn't 287 00:22:08.079 --> 00:22:12.680 get it done Tonight. They got to bounce back on Sunday, huge game 288 00:22:12.720 --> 00:22:19.400 in Denver. You can't let this hang over your head. You can't turn 289 00:22:19.480 --> 00:22:22.680 one loss into two, and it's not going to be easy. You're taking 290 00:22:22.720 --> 00:22:26.359 on the Nuggets. They'll be on a back to back two like the Kings 291 00:22:26.359 --> 00:22:30.319 were tonight. But remember Noah Eagle had the number. Kings actually score more 292 00:22:30.960 --> 00:22:33.279 on the second night of a back to back. They average one hundred and 293 00:22:33.319 --> 00:22:37.599 twenty three points. That's about to go up some after they put up one 294 00:22:37.640 --> 00:22:42.359 hundred and seventy six. But they had fifteen turnovers in this fast paced game, 295 00:22:42.599 --> 00:22:47.839 and that's not a bad number considering how many possessions were out there. 296 00:22:48.240 --> 00:22:55.400 It's really not twenty five, though that's excessive from the Clippers. Some of 297 00:22:55.400 --> 00:23:00.880 it certainly seemed to be just needing to get that familiar out there with new 298 00:23:00.880 --> 00:23:04.000 players. Russ I think had a couple of his turnovers looking for Mason Plumbly. 299 00:23:04.000 --> 00:23:07.319 One hit him right in the chest. He just wasn't ready for it. 300 00:23:08.160 --> 00:23:15.359 That stuff can be cleaned up. But again sense of urgency. It's 301 00:23:15.400 --> 00:23:19.559 time to start winning, stringing big victories together as you get closer to the 302 00:23:19.559 --> 00:23:26.480 playoffs. They know that. So coming up Sunday against nikolaokis the back to 303 00:23:26.519 --> 00:23:30.039 back MVP. It's gonna be a good one tonight, a historic one where 304 00:23:30.039 --> 00:23:36.440 it ends in a loss for the Clippers. As Malik monk Out duels Kauai. 305 00:23:37.359 --> 00:23:42.880 He has forty five to Leonards forty four, and the Kings were a 306 00:23:42.920 --> 00:23:47.480 play better. They win one seventy six to one seventy five and double overtime 307 00:23:47.839 --> 00:23:52.000 here in downtown Los Angeles over the Clippers and Russell Westbrook's debut. More Clippers 308 00:23:52.000 --> 00:23:55.440 talk coming up next. We'll get to your phone calls eight six six ninety 309 00:23:55.440 --> 00:23:59.200 eight seven two five seventy eight six six ninety eight seven two five seventy will 310 00:23:59.200 --> 00:24:00.880 also hear from the head coach as well. This is Clipper Stock on AM 311 00:24:00.920 --> 00:24:18.039 five seventy LA Sports, the home of your La Clippers. Drey just later 312 00:24:18.119 --> 00:24:25.559 run I said that Clippers lose one seventy six to one seventy five here and 313 00:24:25.680 --> 00:24:30.480 down town Los Angeles. Was at the score, you know, I said 314 00:24:30.480 --> 00:24:36.039 it right, got a double check. Pitch yourself if you're a Kings fan. 315 00:24:36.119 --> 00:24:42.440 I guess in double OT they take down the Clippers by one in an 316 00:24:42.440 --> 00:24:49.519 extraordinary night of basketball in offense and shooting high degree of difficulty shots and knocking 317 00:24:49.599 --> 00:24:52.839 them down. But it came down to the turnovers in the end, and 318 00:24:52.880 --> 00:24:59.440 the Clippers had twenty five and the King's just fifteen. Clippers had their chances. 319 00:24:59.440 --> 00:25:02.160 I mentioned it up by fourteen, up by nine, and the fourth 320 00:25:02.240 --> 00:25:07.640 quarter, which is three minutes remaining up by six. In OT, up 321 00:25:07.680 --> 00:25:11.000 by six and double OT with under two minutes left, Nicholas Batoum had a 322 00:25:11.000 --> 00:25:15.519 shot and double overtime from distance. Thought it was gonna go. Thought we 323 00:25:15.480 --> 00:25:18.599 were gonna be praising Saint Nick tonight. And he did have a good ball 324 00:25:18.640 --> 00:25:21.559 game, five of ten from distance, most three pointers he's hitting the game 325 00:25:22.880 --> 00:25:26.079 in about a month and a half since the game in Charlotte where he did 326 00:25:26.119 --> 00:25:32.160 in his former team there Paul George had a shot at the end of the 327 00:25:32.200 --> 00:25:34.519 first overtime, tough one tried to step through a double team put it up. 328 00:25:34.920 --> 00:25:38.240 Kawhi Leonard almost had the tip in. Looked to be a little bit 329 00:25:38.279 --> 00:25:44.440 after the buzzer though even if it did go so, it's just and a 330 00:25:44.519 --> 00:25:49.160 game like this, what's aggravating is what needles you is the amount of opportunities 331 00:25:49.160 --> 00:25:56.400 you had to win and you found a few ways to lose instead. And 332 00:25:56.519 --> 00:25:59.880 it's a historic game, second highest scoring game in the history of the NBA, 333 00:26:00.279 --> 00:26:03.440 but you're on the wrong side of it. Clippers can't let this define 334 00:26:03.480 --> 00:26:08.480 their season. This can't be what we're thinking about come the off season. 335 00:26:11.079 --> 00:26:15.799 That's not what Clipper Nation is looking for. You want to wash this one. 336 00:26:15.799 --> 00:26:18.920 As much as there were some good things, and I know Coach lou 337 00:26:18.960 --> 00:26:22.039 and the players, they're gonna look at the tape. They're gonna learn from 338 00:26:22.039 --> 00:26:26.079 it. Defensively, they weren't good enough were to matter. Most offensively, 339 00:26:26.279 --> 00:26:30.720 they certainly weren't with turnovers coming in bunches and key moments. All right, 340 00:26:30.880 --> 00:26:38.599 start things off here tonight. Let's go with Javier and lahabber heights. Javier, 341 00:26:38.720 --> 00:26:42.839 what's up? You're on Clippers stop without AMOSSLD. What's up, Adam? 342 00:26:42.880 --> 00:26:49.599 Thank you for taking mccomby the first caller you said it. It was 343 00:26:49.640 --> 00:26:53.240 a tough loss. It has like four chances. It's one of the toughest 344 00:26:53.279 --> 00:26:59.319 losses any team has really taken an NBA history. If you able to look 345 00:26:59.359 --> 00:27:02.720 at it that way, you score one hundred and seventy five points and lose. 346 00:27:03.319 --> 00:27:07.039 Yeah, that's brutal. Yeah, no, it's brutal. And Russell 347 00:27:07.039 --> 00:27:11.440 Westbrook, you know he helped him out. It was a smart daring Hey, 348 00:27:11.640 --> 00:27:17.640 Russ, this is a huge silver lining because this was a big pickup. 349 00:27:18.119 --> 00:27:21.920 All the talk, all the chatter this week, and what I loved 350 00:27:21.960 --> 00:27:23.880 about his game was, for the most part, he played within himself, 351 00:27:25.000 --> 00:27:30.920 was in control, was not taking on the high end challenge of going one 352 00:27:32.000 --> 00:27:36.799 on five or one on three when he has those one man generating fast breaks 353 00:27:36.839 --> 00:27:41.200 that he's prone to because of his speed. He would slow things down, 354 00:27:41.359 --> 00:27:45.200 kick it out to open shooters. He found Norman Powell for a couple of 355 00:27:45.200 --> 00:27:48.240 those. In the first half he'd collapsed the defense and fine, guys, 356 00:27:49.119 --> 00:27:55.359 I just like the level of control he played with out there, and it 357 00:27:55.440 --> 00:28:02.839 was more high i Q basketball than just energizer bunny up and down aggressive play, 358 00:28:02.880 --> 00:28:04.759 there was more heavy play. I thought he tried to set a couple 359 00:28:04.759 --> 00:28:10.279 of ball screens for guys. That something people are looking for from him, 360 00:28:10.319 --> 00:28:15.480 and I do think him as a clipper in this environment is a very good 361 00:28:15.480 --> 00:28:19.160 thing. Don't tell me a change of scenery isn't meaningful, or that guy's 362 00:28:19.240 --> 00:28:25.440 playing next to one another that actually like each other isn't meaningful. It is 363 00:28:26.519 --> 00:28:30.400 guys play from one another. He's back with Paul George and a team that 364 00:28:30.440 --> 00:28:36.279 has embraced him, and everybody out there seemed to have their game elevated and 365 00:28:36.319 --> 00:28:38.559 their energy up in this one, certainly on the offensive side. With the 366 00:28:38.559 --> 00:28:42.839 amount of ball movement. It was contagious. But I really thought it started 367 00:28:42.839 --> 00:28:47.119 with Russ. He found plumbly for an easy one that turned into an and 368 00:28:47.319 --> 00:28:52.519 one early on, and he hit a huge three and ot and had a 369 00:28:52.599 --> 00:28:56.119 lay up. I put him up three, only for Monk to hit that 370 00:28:56.160 --> 00:28:59.759 three point in a tide at the end of regulation. I'm sorry, how 371 00:28:59.799 --> 00:29:02.240 have you? But you made a good point. You sent me down that 372 00:29:02.359 --> 00:29:07.680 road. What's up? Yeah? And you know the frustrating thing about this 373 00:29:07.720 --> 00:29:11.119 game is like you said, they had a couple of times they could close 374 00:29:11.160 --> 00:29:15.240 the game, and you know the players. You know this, Like you 375 00:29:15.279 --> 00:29:18.000 said, they score one hundred and seventy five points. So at this point, 376 00:29:18.480 --> 00:29:25.960 who's to blame? And honestly, ty Lou Adam with six minutes left, 377 00:29:26.319 --> 00:29:30.480 they had four turnovers in a row, and he did not call a 378 00:29:30.559 --> 00:29:33.200 timeout because that's one thing at him. That's one I believe he did after 379 00:29:33.200 --> 00:29:37.000 the fourth one. No no, no, no, no, after the 380 00:29:37.039 --> 00:29:41.799 fourth one. I mean, I mean, even Kauai I saways guest, 381 00:29:41.960 --> 00:29:45.519 he was like, guys, calm down, let's calm down. I mean, 382 00:29:45.960 --> 00:29:48.960 and Kawai didn't have one of those turnovers, and that I was part 383 00:29:49.000 --> 00:29:52.039 of the issue. Yeah, but he took a team. I calmed down, 384 00:29:52.079 --> 00:29:56.559 guys, give me the ball. But no turnover, turnover. Okay, 385 00:29:56.559 --> 00:29:59.759 So that's number one. Number two, what kind of play is Tylu? 386 00:30:00.599 --> 00:30:03.960 Every time because of the time I had him, they hardly ever scored. 387 00:30:04.079 --> 00:30:11.599 That's number two. Number three. Terrence Man eighteen minutes Adam eighteen minutes. 388 00:30:12.400 --> 00:30:17.279 I'll give you the last one. I thought that was curious, and 389 00:30:17.599 --> 00:30:25.000 I think he only played about a minute after the fourth quarter in both overtimes, 390 00:30:25.200 --> 00:30:27.559 and it came at the very end as Russell Westbrook ended up fouling out. 391 00:30:29.519 --> 00:30:32.880 I thought that was a little bit curious when you needed some sort of 392 00:30:32.920 --> 00:30:36.119 defense and they were picking on Norman Powell some and they were trying to go 393 00:30:36.119 --> 00:30:38.960 after Russell Westbrook, who I thought played okay defense for the most part. 394 00:30:40.000 --> 00:30:44.039 He certainly played hard to pick up six fouls. But yeah, I did 395 00:30:44.160 --> 00:30:47.519 think, okay, is Terrence get Man gonna get a little bit more run 396 00:30:47.559 --> 00:30:48.680 here? But I also get the other side of it. Norman Powell has 397 00:30:48.720 --> 00:30:52.359 been a killer latent games for this team all season long. It's tough to 398 00:30:52.400 --> 00:30:59.240 bring him out. Then, I mean, then, okay, nast thing. 399 00:30:59.319 --> 00:31:02.640 I mean they you you bring somebody else, You take somebody else out, 400 00:31:02.720 --> 00:31:04.240 Adam, I don't know who you take out. I'm not saying to 401 00:31:04.279 --> 00:31:07.000 take normal power out. I'm not saying that. But you take somebody out, 402 00:31:07.039 --> 00:31:10.640 well, I mean you gotta have a solution then, I mean who 403 00:31:10.759 --> 00:31:14.519 you know what didn't Adam didn't Adam at that point in you take Russell Westbrook 404 00:31:14.519 --> 00:31:17.240 out of the game, then I mean, you're not gonna take a whiet 405 00:31:17.319 --> 00:31:19.920 You're not gonna take Paul George you're not gonna take over and pow. So 406 00:31:22.519 --> 00:31:29.839 Westbrook, here's the last thing, Adam second second overtime plumbly two straight turnovers. 407 00:31:30.240 --> 00:31:33.640 Yeah, why is he playing in the second overtime? If some bonus 408 00:31:33.759 --> 00:31:38.240 is not playing, that's the that's the that when you put in Terrence Man 409 00:31:40.880 --> 00:31:45.680 and you play, you know, with Terrence Man in the lineup, I 410 00:31:45.759 --> 00:31:48.880 mean, why do you have plumb me so bodies is not playing? He 411 00:31:49.000 --> 00:31:52.759 had back to back turnovers, and he came in after guys got in a 412 00:31:52.799 --> 00:31:56.720 foul trouble and because Paul George was on a minute restriction. Although he played 413 00:31:57.039 --> 00:32:00.920 forty one, he didn't play all overtime, So that hurt him in a 414 00:32:00.960 --> 00:32:05.200 big way because he had the ball in his hands and he was hot. 415 00:32:05.279 --> 00:32:08.279 He had twenty points from the fourth quarter and then and into the first OT. 416 00:32:10.200 --> 00:32:13.680 I mean you said it earlier at them. When you're fast break, 417 00:32:13.720 --> 00:32:15.720 it's fast break. It's not coaching. It's fast break. Everybody just going 418 00:32:16.200 --> 00:32:19.960 up, up and down the core. You scort when the game slows down, 419 00:32:20.759 --> 00:32:24.000 it's about coaching and didn't execute. So who's whose fault is a Well, 420 00:32:24.000 --> 00:32:28.759 look at those four turn those four straight turnovers. I mean these guys 421 00:32:28.799 --> 00:32:31.880 are pros, like that's that stuff just can't happen. That's but that's not 422 00:32:32.079 --> 00:32:36.200 on coaching to me, that's on Paul. George has to get it up 423 00:32:36.240 --> 00:32:39.400 the court and they can't have an offensive felon and in bounced play. I 424 00:32:39.480 --> 00:32:42.880 don't think the guys need to be coached not to do that. They know 425 00:32:43.079 --> 00:32:50.480 not to do that. I mean here, I mean, I mean, 426 00:32:50.559 --> 00:32:52.680 I'm just giving you a point, Adam. I mean, hey, it's 427 00:32:52.720 --> 00:32:55.039 a frustrating that. I get it. Man, I get it. You 428 00:32:55.079 --> 00:33:00.640 don't you don't, you don't. You don't blame the player. The score 429 00:33:00.640 --> 00:33:02.440 one hundred and seventy five points at this point, you just playing the coach 430 00:33:02.480 --> 00:33:06.480 and says, you know what, you had four chances to god this game 431 00:33:06.559 --> 00:33:08.200 and you couldn't do it. Tylo, you couldn't do it, Tylo. 432 00:33:08.720 --> 00:33:12.359 All right, Javier, I appreciate the phone call. I don't think it 433 00:33:12.440 --> 00:33:16.079 was any one player or the coach. It was a lot going wrong. 434 00:33:16.839 --> 00:33:23.240 To have that many collapses when you had leads and couldn't hold on to them. 435 00:33:24.400 --> 00:33:28.599 It's a multitude of issues. All right. Let's go to Lenny in 436 00:33:28.720 --> 00:33:34.920 Inglewood. Lenny, what's up here on Clipperstock Lenny Online two. I believe. 437 00:33:37.359 --> 00:33:45.759 Hey, Adam, you know I'm glad you this Sugarhope distance because at 438 00:33:45.759 --> 00:33:50.440 the end of the day, we haven't beat the top year teams. Are 439 00:33:52.759 --> 00:33:59.799 we lost Philly? Philly handled the box handles. You don't think that Suns 440 00:34:00.319 --> 00:34:05.200 they just have Okay, So I don't want to hear that they had CP 441 00:34:05.359 --> 00:34:08.119 three Devin book out there. Sounds was a good win. But I'm talking 442 00:34:08.119 --> 00:34:14.639 about full strength everybody on the board. I mean, Adam, we haven't. 443 00:34:14.960 --> 00:34:17.239 We haven't. No, Adam, you can't. You can't talk about 444 00:34:17.280 --> 00:34:22.079 the Sons win without Kevin Durant. We know what's coming. You can't. 445 00:34:22.119 --> 00:34:25.679 We have a lot of pity for a team that's going into super team mode 446 00:34:25.840 --> 00:34:30.880 because they brought in Kevin Durant and didn't have them that night. And you're 447 00:34:30.880 --> 00:34:34.199 gonna say that's not a quality winning if it takes you from a very good 448 00:34:34.280 --> 00:34:37.159 team to a great team, or a team that was in the finals two 449 00:34:37.239 --> 00:34:39.559 years ago to being a super team. I still think it qualifies as a 450 00:34:39.679 --> 00:34:44.760 very good win against Phoenix in Phoenix, yeah, and clip and Cliper Nation. 451 00:34:44.840 --> 00:34:47.039 It's a good win, okay, But I'm talking about on both coasts. 452 00:34:47.199 --> 00:34:52.119 There's five teams. Uh, there's there's three teams that are above us 453 00:34:52.320 --> 00:34:54.639 we haven't beaten yet, and the teams on on the East coast we haven't 454 00:34:54.679 --> 00:34:58.239 beaten yet. Okay, I'll give you that, but they haven't played Memphis 455 00:34:58.320 --> 00:35:00.559 yet either, so they haven't had an opportunity to. Yeah, and I'm 456 00:35:00.559 --> 00:35:05.639 a good thing. Memphis seems like it's backsliding right now, but you know, 457 00:35:05.760 --> 00:35:07.679 we'll see. With his laugh, all I'm saying is that I just 458 00:35:07.760 --> 00:35:12.880 think that this. I think we're a good team. But like Hawaii said 459 00:35:12.880 --> 00:35:15.239 it, we're not. We're not saying yet because of the thing it chanceship 460 00:35:15.360 --> 00:35:17.920 change. Yet we're just not what I mean. You don't you don't not 461 00:35:19.000 --> 00:35:22.320 gonna argue with that they aren't we but I mean, like, we're not 462 00:35:22.440 --> 00:35:27.719 even like you don't. I just I've never seen a team that wants it 463 00:35:28.159 --> 00:35:31.760 bad to break down and turn the ball over like that, with those kind 464 00:35:31.760 --> 00:35:36.159 of leads. Man. I just I just haven't seen that. I just 465 00:35:36.239 --> 00:35:38.159 said. And I don't know what to say. I really don't know what 466 00:35:38.239 --> 00:35:40.800 to say. I don't know where the breakdown is. I don't know if 467 00:35:40.840 --> 00:35:44.119 it's on the players. I don't know if it's on the coaching, but 468 00:35:44.360 --> 00:35:47.840 it's this. This ain't it. This doesn't make any sense now, Yeah, 469 00:35:49.000 --> 00:35:54.480 Ron is the first game with Russ. I mean, yeah, give 470 00:35:54.599 --> 00:35:59.440 a little bit of time. Yeah, this is a good thing. But 471 00:35:59.559 --> 00:36:02.079 the same time we're squeezing out. I mean it is. It is gonna 472 00:36:02.079 --> 00:36:07.920 affect Man's minutes undestand Tylu got to get him acclimated quickly because the playoffs are 473 00:36:07.960 --> 00:36:10.239 coming and we gotta we gotta, we gotta push on our chips into the 474 00:36:10.280 --> 00:36:16.920 middle of the table. But the guy just went we just spoke before. 475 00:36:17.320 --> 00:36:22.079 I just understand why Roko is totally out of the lot, out of the 476 00:36:22.199 --> 00:36:25.599 rotations. I mean, what did he say something? Did he crack a 477 00:36:25.639 --> 00:36:30.239 bad joke us? I mean I can't that. I don't know either, 478 00:36:30.320 --> 00:36:34.960 Lenny. All I heard was earlier today. I believe coach Lu did say 479 00:36:35.079 --> 00:36:37.679 he is the player that has sacrificed the most for this team this season. 480 00:36:38.400 --> 00:36:43.280 And obviously that's the truth because he hasn't played much and even in a game 481 00:36:43.320 --> 00:36:45.440 without a visa Zoo bots, I thought we might see him more. Didn't 482 00:36:45.480 --> 00:36:52.039 happen. All right, Well, you know, we gotta an extremely tough 483 00:36:52.119 --> 00:36:57.159 game against Denver. I know Vegas is probably gonna have us, you know, 484 00:36:57.440 --> 00:37:00.679 the underdog one. It's big, but what I big? But you 485 00:37:00.760 --> 00:37:05.559 know we got we gotta be the top year team at full strength when the 486 00:37:05.599 --> 00:37:07.920 other teams at full strength, or you know, we're gonna go onto the 487 00:37:07.960 --> 00:37:12.519 playoffs and it's gonna be a it's gonna be you know, we're gonna play 488 00:37:12.559 --> 00:37:15.159 some really good, inspiring ball, but we're gonna walk away, but once 489 00:37:15.239 --> 00:37:21.400 again the moral banner victory. And you know, I guess this Clipper Nation 490 00:37:21.559 --> 00:37:24.159 is cool with that. That's what it is. But I was I wanted 491 00:37:24.320 --> 00:37:27.960 more. I want more this year, man. I think everybody wants more 492 00:37:28.000 --> 00:37:30.440 this year. And they gotta figure this out. Man. They got about 493 00:37:30.440 --> 00:37:35.239 two weeks. Lenny, I appreciate the full call. You're right, they 494 00:37:35.280 --> 00:37:37.880 do have to figure it out. Time is of the essence. There's twenty 495 00:37:37.920 --> 00:37:44.400 games left and Clipper Nation is hungry and it's a championship or bus type season. 496 00:37:44.920 --> 00:37:46.679 That's how I see it. This is year four of the two one 497 00:37:46.719 --> 00:37:52.760 three connection with Kawai and Paul George, so yeah, sense of urgency has 498 00:37:52.840 --> 00:37:57.239 to be there. Peter and huntson Beach, what's up here on Clipper stop 499 00:37:57.280 --> 00:38:01.239 without am aslin listen. I just wanted to say, I really dig your 500 00:38:01.280 --> 00:38:06.679 honesty. I think you call it the way it is. I was listening 501 00:38:06.719 --> 00:38:10.840 to Javier and I agree with him. What I don't understand, and I'll 502 00:38:10.880 --> 00:38:16.719 make my point brief. I don't understand thy Lou's substitution patterns. I know 503 00:38:17.239 --> 00:38:22.000 he wanted to give Russ his minutes, but at the expense of who Terence 504 00:38:22.039 --> 00:38:28.079 Mann, who is arguably, aside from Kauai, arguably been the best player 505 00:38:28.119 --> 00:38:31.400 on the team this year, and to take the minutes from him, I 506 00:38:31.639 --> 00:38:35.480 myself, I would rather see Paul George get rid of, you know, 507 00:38:35.880 --> 00:38:38.639 get the ball taken out of his hands, or sat on the bench in 508 00:38:38.719 --> 00:38:43.440 the fourth quarter. I know that might not be popular, but I still 509 00:38:43.519 --> 00:38:46.679 don't understand they haven't. We haven't really seen Bones either. I know he's 510 00:38:46.760 --> 00:38:52.519 new and Roco is he was a defensive presence, could have helped out tonight. 511 00:38:52.960 --> 00:38:57.800 I think this is squarely on thy Lou. I know you'll disagree, 512 00:38:58.079 --> 00:39:01.119 but I respect your opinion. Love your brother, all right. I appreciate 513 00:39:01.199 --> 00:39:07.320 the phone called Peter. Look, you can point a lot of fingers and 514 00:39:07.920 --> 00:39:13.280 look at a few different areas. I just can't say it's one guy or 515 00:39:13.360 --> 00:39:16.880 the head coach. I think that's oversimplification of what happened tonight in a wild 516 00:39:16.960 --> 00:39:27.119 one. To say the least those turnovers, that's on the players. Four 517 00:39:27.199 --> 00:39:34.639 straight turnovers, turnovers like that. I don't see how you can watch that 518 00:39:34.679 --> 00:39:37.159 and say, oh, that's on coach Lou you should have taught a better 519 00:39:37.239 --> 00:39:44.639 No, these guys are pros at the highest level. In a superstar and 520 00:39:44.719 --> 00:39:50.440 an All Star and Paul George who at his pocket pick by Darren Fox for 521 00:39:50.519 --> 00:39:57.599 an easy one. It just seemed like they lost focus once they got up 522 00:39:57.800 --> 00:40:00.199 by a significant margin late, multiple time times, and it kept happening again 523 00:40:00.320 --> 00:40:07.280 and again, and they gotta stay locked in. And it's something we've talked 524 00:40:07.280 --> 00:40:09.960 about all season. All this team goes in and out of playing really good 525 00:40:10.000 --> 00:40:16.239 basketball, and there was some amazing basketball play tonight, and you really saw 526 00:40:16.320 --> 00:40:22.480 it all the ups and downs of this team. I guess on display Clippers 527 00:40:22.559 --> 00:40:28.000 lose one seventy six to one seventy five in double overtime to the Sacramento Kings. 528 00:40:28.039 --> 00:40:31.039 Here on Clipper Stock, we're coming up next when they empy seventy only 529 00:40:31.079 --> 00:40:45.440 Sports Clippers take a punch to the gut, lose a heartbreakers one seventy six 530 00:40:45.440 --> 00:40:50.840 to one seventy five in double overtimes to the Sacramento Kings, who gained ground 531 00:40:50.920 --> 00:40:54.199 on them in the Western Conference standings. Welcome back in the Clipper stock. 532 00:40:54.519 --> 00:40:58.920 I'm Metam Moslin, coming up back to your phone calls at eight six six 533 00:40:59.000 --> 00:41:01.440 nine, eight seven two five seventy eight six six ninety seven two five seventy. 534 00:41:01.519 --> 00:41:07.440 But first, will Updyke from the clips and dip pod. Will where 535 00:41:07.599 --> 00:41:15.440 was this game lost in your mind? I think in some of the failures 536 00:41:15.480 --> 00:41:17.840 to get stopped late, and I think that that comes from a rotation thing. 537 00:41:19.320 --> 00:41:22.480 Obviously, you know, no Zubos in this one. That hurt us. 538 00:41:22.360 --> 00:41:27.960 But the lack of Terrence man minutes I think was really really puzziti scary 539 00:41:28.039 --> 00:41:30.719 to Eric Gordon first, who hadn't touched the floor, and I can't even 540 00:41:30.800 --> 00:41:36.639 remember how long before he came in there. And overtime it a lot of 541 00:41:36.679 --> 00:41:38.320 it. I gotta be honest with baffling to me. I know that Tyler 542 00:41:38.559 --> 00:41:44.800 is trying to work things out with the new guys. I I just don't 543 00:41:44.920 --> 00:41:50.559 know that some of those rotations were it. Terrence Man ended up playing just 544 00:41:50.840 --> 00:41:54.679 thirty four seconds in both overtimes, and we've gotten a lot of calls on 545 00:41:54.760 --> 00:41:59.559 it, and I can understand why people had won him out there in a 546 00:41:59.639 --> 00:42:02.360 game that's that high scoring and you seem to have no problem on that end. 547 00:42:02.400 --> 00:42:06.000 And by the way, Terrence Man has been much better on the offensive 548 00:42:06.119 --> 00:42:08.519 end, So what about trying to get a few stops and not having as 549 00:42:08.599 --> 00:42:13.119 many flaws on defense that the Kings were trying to pick on over and over 550 00:42:13.199 --> 00:42:15.639 again. It's a great success, apparently when you score one hundred and seventy 551 00:42:15.679 --> 00:42:20.280 six points. So I understand that. I also get how Norman Pale has 552 00:42:20.320 --> 00:42:25.360 been really good late in games all season long. But if people are saying 553 00:42:25.440 --> 00:42:30.239 that, okay, take out Russell Westbrook then and eventually he did foul out, 554 00:42:30.320 --> 00:42:34.320 I can understand that argument. What was your overall assessment though, of 555 00:42:34.360 --> 00:42:38.400 Russell Westbrook in his first game as a Clipper? Offensively? I mean, 556 00:42:38.480 --> 00:42:42.320 he does some really great things. He can generate some looks for people, 557 00:42:42.440 --> 00:42:45.960 he can get down hill. I mean, you know, his struggles finishing 558 00:42:45.000 --> 00:42:49.239 around the basket are gonna be a problem. Those are fast breaks like just 559 00:42:49.360 --> 00:42:54.400 waiting to happen. The turnovers weren't great, and honestly, like this isn't 560 00:42:54.440 --> 00:42:58.119 his fault, you know, he I just don't think that he was the 561 00:42:58.239 --> 00:43:00.119 right choice to go with to have two guards in there down late. I 562 00:43:00.239 --> 00:43:04.480 know Paul George is on a man's restriction, so you know, there were 563 00:43:04.639 --> 00:43:08.320 some there were some instances where Tylow had his hand kind of forced. So 564 00:43:08.639 --> 00:43:13.000 I do understand it. Like I said, overall, I just think some 565 00:43:13.079 --> 00:43:16.199 of those were some puzzling decisions. I think that this was this was again 566 00:43:16.280 --> 00:43:20.280 it was lost in some executions. I mean that some of those turnovers were 567 00:43:20.280 --> 00:43:22.880 absolutely brutal and over time, but like not being able to get a stop 568 00:43:23.920 --> 00:43:29.239 against a good against the good offense, I mean just trading buckets. I 569 00:43:29.280 --> 00:43:32.679 don't think it's the best thing. But but Russell Westborod did help the offense 570 00:43:32.840 --> 00:43:37.320 overall. But it's you know, it's it's sort of an up and down 571 00:43:37.400 --> 00:43:40.039 thing. It's it's kind of similar, uh as we had with Reggie, 572 00:43:40.079 --> 00:43:43.639 but you know with the with the more athletic garden that it's you know, 573 00:43:43.719 --> 00:43:47.480 a better password to be sure. Yeah, I just uh that that late 574 00:43:47.559 --> 00:43:52.480 game execution was was just not very good and he just has to wonder really 575 00:43:52.639 --> 00:43:59.039 right, like for a team that has struggled in that area, is shaking 576 00:43:59.079 --> 00:44:04.079 off the line and the starters to this degree with now twenty game laps, 577 00:44:04.559 --> 00:44:07.480 is that the right move for success? Uh? You know it was brought 578 00:44:07.559 --> 00:44:13.239 up in the pre game pressor Tylou and that season team where basically they shipped 579 00:44:13.280 --> 00:44:15.920 out after team. Uh. And I can't remember. Was that the year 580 00:44:16.000 --> 00:44:21.000 they lost to the Warriors in five or the was that the year they ended 581 00:44:21.079 --> 00:44:25.000 up getting swept. I think that was the year that Lebron in Game one 582 00:44:25.440 --> 00:44:30.840 and they ended up getting swept. Anyways, they lost that in overtime. 583 00:44:31.280 --> 00:44:35.400 Yeah, and maybe that turns out different effect game one is different. Who 584 00:44:35.519 --> 00:44:38.639 knows. But I'm saying like, it's just a lot of gambles to make. 585 00:44:38.760 --> 00:44:42.639 And I you know, I'm not even saying that that's just the Russell 586 00:44:42.679 --> 00:44:46.199 Westbrook thing. I thought, you know, oh well he offensively, Uh, 587 00:44:46.360 --> 00:44:52.559 he definitely did do some things up for other guys for sure, But 588 00:44:52.920 --> 00:44:55.480 yeah, I don't know. And like having Norm Powell out there also not 589 00:44:55.599 --> 00:44:59.320 a guy who's gonna get you a stop and he's barely touching the ball. 590 00:45:00.159 --> 00:45:02.920 It's just like I said, it's just kind of baffling in some of those 591 00:45:02.960 --> 00:45:08.119 kind of calls. Yeah, I will say this though, I thought one 592 00:45:08.159 --> 00:45:13.159 of the most indicative signs of an impact from Russell Westbrook was the fact that 593 00:45:13.840 --> 00:45:17.800 Paul George and Kawhi Leonard had juiced throughout this game. They were attacking, 594 00:45:19.119 --> 00:45:22.239 they were playing downhill, they were moving the ball. Kawai hat a couple 595 00:45:22.239 --> 00:45:25.039 of spectacular passes, one of them here where he was spinning and I think 596 00:45:25.239 --> 00:45:30.039 threw it over to Norman Powell or Nicholas Batoum in the nearside corner for a 597 00:45:30.079 --> 00:45:35.519 three pointer. But I hadn't seen that level of energy from them consistently throughout 598 00:45:35.559 --> 00:45:39.079 a game, especially when where they played heavy minutes like they ended up doing 599 00:45:39.199 --> 00:45:44.320 tonight. And I thought, Okay, maybe it's the Russell Westbrook effect here 600 00:45:44.360 --> 00:45:46.559 where he's taking some of the offensive burden of having to set the table off 601 00:45:46.599 --> 00:45:52.559 their plate and it's working. They seemed to have a little bit more pep 602 00:45:52.719 --> 00:45:54.559 in their step to have a little bit more pop. As coach Leu would 603 00:45:54.559 --> 00:45:59.239 say, would you agree with that? I would agree with that one hundred 604 00:45:59.280 --> 00:46:02.079 percent. And I do love the way that he was getting the offense into 605 00:46:02.159 --> 00:46:07.280 motion sooner in the shot clock. That was That's probably the best point of 606 00:46:07.280 --> 00:46:09.719 the night. I forgot to bring that up. Will. That was the 607 00:46:09.800 --> 00:46:15.840 most stark contrast of seeing this Clippers team all season being bottom ten in pace 608 00:46:15.920 --> 00:46:17.880 and really in the two one three era playing like that to all of a 609 00:46:17.920 --> 00:46:22.400 sudden, flying up and down the court and creating multiple possessions and getting shots 610 00:46:22.440 --> 00:46:25.800 off when then the first five to at least ten seconds of the shot clock, 611 00:46:25.880 --> 00:46:30.960 all right, Yeah, And I do think that that could be key 612 00:46:30.079 --> 00:46:36.360 to you know, reserving some stamina for both Kauai and Paul George. You 613 00:46:36.440 --> 00:46:40.000 know, it just this was two years ago the best half court offense in 614 00:46:40.039 --> 00:46:43.639 the in the NBA, so I also don't want to discredit that, but 615 00:46:43.800 --> 00:46:47.480 it was it was nice to see, I agree, getting into sets faster. 616 00:46:49.119 --> 00:46:52.079 I think it's something you can definitely help with. And you know, 617 00:46:52.159 --> 00:46:54.719 there were a couple of journals that weren't necessarily his fault. There was one 618 00:46:54.719 --> 00:46:59.840 of Mason fummily I think in first or second quarter in that second ship, 619 00:47:00.039 --> 00:47:02.440 which I think is normally with a little bit more time on court together, 620 00:47:02.559 --> 00:47:07.480 is something that Mason is able to put away. So you know, there 621 00:47:07.480 --> 00:47:10.679 were some things that weren't fully his fault. I also just liked the way 622 00:47:10.760 --> 00:47:15.880 that he was really I mean, he was fully committed to setting up his 623 00:47:15.920 --> 00:47:21.079 teammates, wasn't really taking a lot of shots. It wasn't like the revenge 624 00:47:21.159 --> 00:47:25.119 tour. Uh, you know that that I had kind of doom prophesized about. 625 00:47:27.559 --> 00:47:30.760 So yeah, I think that there there was a lot of good, 626 00:47:30.840 --> 00:47:32.280 to be sure, and this law, I want to be perfectly clear, 627 00:47:32.400 --> 00:47:36.639 like this isn't on him. I'm not blaming the loss for this law. 628 00:47:36.960 --> 00:47:40.280 I do think that there was some lineup in vocational issues late that you know, 629 00:47:40.440 --> 00:47:45.840 it needed a stop, and I just don't think that the right personnel 630 00:47:45.960 --> 00:47:49.119 was on the floor to achieve that goal. I thought there were a couple 631 00:47:49.159 --> 00:47:54.519 of plays where you could almost see the wheels turning and instead of it being 632 00:47:54.679 --> 00:48:00.599 Russ being Russ, he slowed down. He was war methodical, and he 633 00:48:00.719 --> 00:48:07.079 made the right basketball play and it was noticeable there was there was a concerted 634 00:48:07.159 --> 00:48:12.760 effort there from him. Yeah, and there were, uh, there were 635 00:48:12.840 --> 00:48:15.119 sometimes early where I thought maybe he was kind of rushing things a little bit, 636 00:48:15.119 --> 00:48:19.119 And then I agree, he definitely did settle into things. He was 637 00:48:19.159 --> 00:48:22.239 slowing down, he was looking to get to see his teammates. So you 638 00:48:22.280 --> 00:48:25.639 know, there was some good There was some good stuff there. Look, 639 00:48:25.760 --> 00:48:30.039 I think that the offense is probably going to be less than a less of 640 00:48:30.079 --> 00:48:34.840 a struggle. But this team has to get back on track defensively. And 641 00:48:35.119 --> 00:48:37.400 the Kings are a good offense. I give them that course, Uh, 642 00:48:37.679 --> 00:48:42.840 but you know it we allot one seventy six. I mean, what is 643 00:48:42.880 --> 00:48:46.880 Denver gonna put up on? You know, I'm just I am. I 644 00:48:47.039 --> 00:48:51.960 am a little dubious of the Clippers defense right now. And you know, 645 00:48:52.000 --> 00:48:54.400 the Westbrook edition. God bless his heart, it doesn't help. It doesn't 646 00:48:54.800 --> 00:48:58.760 It doesn't help anything on that end of the floor. And he was kind 647 00:48:58.800 --> 00:49:01.880 of sleeping on that to ended up time an. It's funny. Coming into 648 00:49:01.960 --> 00:49:05.880 the season, I was much less worried about the defense than the offense. 649 00:49:06.039 --> 00:49:09.320 But recently the offense has been fantastic and the defense coming into this game since 650 00:49:09.400 --> 00:49:14.599 January first, in the New Year twenty second, and this obviously is not 651 00:49:14.639 --> 00:49:17.639 going to help your defense a racing tonight. I'm curious to see what they 652 00:49:17.760 --> 00:49:22.079 dropped there. All right, Well, I appreciate it, man, I 653 00:49:22.159 --> 00:49:25.199 know we're going to have a clipse and well, this is double dip. 654 00:49:25.199 --> 00:49:30.159 We got a tripod coming up on Monday with myself, you and Chuck Mockler. 655 00:49:30.280 --> 00:49:35.239 But thanks for doing this night here on Clippers Talk.

A heartbreaker of a lap, but such a weird 657 00:49:37.679 --> 00:49:42.239 game that I feel like no one should be getting two down on anything just 658 00:49:42.480 --> 00:49:45.199 yet. Yeah, this was like the black Mirror game. I don't know 659 00:49:45.559 --> 00:49:51.039 what just happened. All right, Well, appreciate it. Coming up. 660 00:49:51.079 --> 00:49:52.119 We'll take a quick time out, we'll come back. We'll get back to 661 00:49:52.119 --> 00:49:55.199 your phone calls.

Coach Lewis asked about a post game on him just 670 00:50:35.960 --> 00:50:39.079 playing eighteen minutes. He said, quote, he was good. He should 671 00:50:39.119 --> 00:50:45.360 have played more. He said not having Man on the floor was as much 672 00:50:45.400 --> 00:50:51.519 as a learning experience for him as well. So I really love that he 673 00:50:51.599 --> 00:50:55.639 said that before this season. He takes accountability when he feels like he has 674 00:50:55.679 --> 00:51:00.480 a misstep coaching wise, a lot of guys would just be stun be like, 675 00:51:00.639 --> 00:51:02.039 well, I didn't do it because of this reason. I'm thinking of 676 00:51:02.079 --> 00:51:09.119 bet Hellen or somebody like that. Sorry, Ben, I'm bad, But 677 00:51:09.320 --> 00:51:14.519 yeah, it's It's one of those things that I think makes him pretty likable 678 00:51:14.519 --> 00:51:19.679 and relatable. He will own it when stuff like this happens and appears to 679 00:51:19.840 --> 00:51:24.760 have tonight before we get out of here quickly, rapid fire Ray in Torrance, 680 00:51:25.000 --> 00:51:29.880 You're on Clippers stock. Wow. Wow, wow, Adam. That 681 00:51:30.039 --> 00:51:34.480 was probably the most exciting and most frustrating regular season game of my life with 682 00:51:34.480 --> 00:51:37.920 the Clippers. The last threey five years, I've been going so disappointing but 683 00:51:37.039 --> 00:51:39.639 so exciting. I had my son with me, we had a great time, 684 00:51:39.719 --> 00:51:43.480 but losing that game with frustrating you. I won't go in the whole 685 00:51:43.480 --> 00:51:47.119 thing with Tyler other than you know, besides the whole rotation issue, it 686 00:51:47.280 --> 00:51:52.159 was the whole managing of the second half timeouts. Why he's calling timeouts earlier 687 00:51:52.199 --> 00:51:54.119 in the in the half kind of puzzling, and then he didn't have any 688 00:51:54.159 --> 00:51:57.760 at the end, so that's why he waited for, you know, turnovers 689 00:51:57.800 --> 00:51:59.920 before calling one. If you did it halfway through, would have stopped that. 690 00:52:00.239 --> 00:52:02.960 And then we didn't have a time out at the end where you covered 691 00:52:04.000 --> 00:52:07.039 a three point line. Let the guys driving score. Why the wine was 692 00:52:07.079 --> 00:52:08.599 covering line? Did had time to tell his guys, don't let that happen. 693 00:52:08.840 --> 00:52:12.360 It was so frustrating, and they went to overtime. They lost the 694 00:52:12.400 --> 00:52:15.400 whole thing and double over time. So there was a time out before the 695 00:52:15.519 --> 00:52:20.440 lake Monk hit that three pointer, so I don't know, show him up 696 00:52:21.239 --> 00:52:23.840 well at the at the very end on the last play that into the fourth 697 00:52:23.920 --> 00:52:28.559 quarter. Okay, Well, there was a king's time out with eight point 698 00:52:28.639 --> 00:52:31.039 one seconds left, so they more than had enough time. Okay, then 699 00:52:31.079 --> 00:52:35.119 I guess at that time, talented guys, let the guys score. Do 700 00:52:35.280 --> 00:52:37.880 not let the three point play be called or shot and they let it shut 701 00:52:37.960 --> 00:52:42.760 the shot and he drove and kicked it out. If they don't want to 702 00:52:42.880 --> 00:52:45.519 take a two point, it's hard to make them take a two pointer outside 703 00:52:45.960 --> 00:52:51.159 of fouling. Intentionally fouling and put put him at the line. Let him 704 00:52:51.159 --> 00:52:52.599 just let him, let him score, don't kick it out. Let They're 705 00:52:52.639 --> 00:52:57.280 not going to do that. They are going for the three pointer there apparently, 706 00:52:57.599 --> 00:53:00.440 so just saying you're gonna let him score when they set up a play 707 00:53:00.440 --> 00:53:04.119 around the perimeter, that's what they were going for. So the only really 708 00:53:04.480 --> 00:53:08.599 other option is to play the foul game, all right, Appreciate the phone 709 00:53:08.639 --> 00:53:13.159 call the rapper fire. Yeah, here we go, Uh Damien in La 710 00:53:13.559 --> 00:53:17.039 Damian Youreon clipper stock, Hey, Adam oh Man. Tough lost, tough 711 00:53:17.119 --> 00:53:21.599 loss. Thanks for having me on. It was great to be there because 712 00:53:21.599 --> 00:53:23.440 I was a part of history. I won't get into all the stuff that 713 00:53:23.480 --> 00:53:27.800 you guys are getting into. I'll just say, you know, Tyler's learning 714 00:53:27.840 --> 00:53:30.519 too, and we need to give him a pass on that. He's got 715 00:53:30.599 --> 00:53:32.599 a big fast ahead of him, you know, trying to figure out how 716 00:53:32.679 --> 00:53:36.400 he's gonna find out all these minutes for all these guys, and I think 717 00:53:36.400 --> 00:53:37.719 he's doing a pretty good job. We put up one hundred and seventy five 718 00:53:37.760 --> 00:53:42.400 points tonight. We figure out the little little things will be great. But 719 00:53:42.679 --> 00:53:45.559 as far as Russ, I think it's gonna work. At him, I 720 00:53:45.639 --> 00:53:50.480 think it's gonna work. I was really pleasantly, you know, surprised and 721 00:53:50.559 --> 00:53:53.239 pleased by what I saw Rust being Russ. It looks good to me. 722 00:53:53.280 --> 00:53:58.159 How do you feel about it? I thought at times he wasn't being Russ. 723 00:53:58.280 --> 00:54:01.119 He was being more choose and picky with win to attack, how to 724 00:54:01.239 --> 00:54:07.719 attack. I thought there was more strategy to his game and getting guys involved. 725 00:54:08.360 --> 00:54:14.199 I thought it was a great first game for Russell Westbrook in Los Angeles 726 00:54:14.239 --> 00:54:16.079 Clippers uniform. Unfortunately, it comes to the loss. I appreciate the phone 727 00:54:16.119 --> 00:54:22.000 called Damien, and that's it. I know what Jose was gonna say. 728 00:54:22.119 --> 00:54:28.360 Let's go Clippers. Clippers fall double o two, one seventy six to one 729 00:54:28.559 --> 00:54:34.719 seventy five to the Sacramento Kings. Tough one because, as I mentioned, 730 00:54:36.119 --> 00:54:40.719 the implications in the standings and then we'll tell you how this affected things. 731 00:54:40.880 --> 00:54:44.800 Drop the Clippers to the five spot. They're now a half game back of 732 00:54:44.880 --> 00:54:47.480 Phoenix. They're in the fourth spot, two and a half games back of 733 00:54:47.559 --> 00:54:52.199 Sacramento, still in that three spot. I'll see him again next week. 734 00:54:52.320 --> 00:54:55.400 Clippers next game coming up on Sunday. Have we taken on the Denver Nuggets? 735 00:54:55.679 --> 00:54:59.639 Tip Off is at seven while Clippers countdown and six before we get out 736 00:54:59.639 --> 00:55:01.440 of here.
