WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.720 --> 00:00:05.839 Karen's badness ure on once again. He's Clippers Talk. I got calls on 2 00:00:05.960 --> 00:00:12.000 Clippers Talk, immediate reaction and analysis to today's game. That's what he's capable 3 00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:17.239 of. Hosted by your pre and post game voice of the LA Clippers, 4 00:00:17.280 --> 00:00:23.359 Adam Osler. Now they say nothing runs like a deer, and the Milwaukee 5 00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:27.079 Bucks would run away with this one late. They go on to win one 6 00:00:27.199 --> 00:00:32.039 thirty seven to one thirteen over the Clippers and Norman Powell's debut. Welcome in 7 00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:35.960 to Clipper Stock. I'm Adam Oslin to eight six six nine eight seven two 8 00:00:36.039 --> 00:00:41.240 five seventy eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy is the phone number? 9 00:00:41.439 --> 00:00:44.159 Okay, maybe a cheetah. It's John Deer's slogan. I don't know. 10 00:00:44.679 --> 00:00:47.960 Coming up. We'll get to your phone calls here. Morris is online, 11 00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:52.119 who else? Hivier is already online. We'll also hear from the head 12 00:00:52.119 --> 00:00:57.520 coach and hopefully have some postgame audio from your newest Clippers Norman Powell and Robert 13 00:00:57.600 --> 00:01:02.240 Covington, and those guys played great and offensively. The Clippers put up one 14 00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:07.200 hundred and thirteen points, even with a nineteen points second quarter. But if 15 00:01:07.239 --> 00:01:10.439 you want to look at where this game was lost. It was the Clippers 16 00:01:10.480 --> 00:01:15.640 going just over five minutes scoreless in that second quarter without Norman Powell, who 17 00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:19.760 got into foul trouble early, had three thousand first seven minutes there. But 18 00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:25.359 Powell finished with twenty eight points on nine of sixteen, shooting four of eight 19 00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:30.239 from the outside, and gave Clipper Nation a glimpse of things to come. 20 00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:34.640 And it'll come more often in wins than not. But the Milwaukee Bucks also 21 00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:38.599 one thing they can do. I've talked about it and my blueprint for success 22 00:01:40.319 --> 00:01:42.879 is shoots the three ball. They take a lot of them, they make 23 00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:48.599 a lot of them. Yesterday in Portland they hit twenty three three pointers. 24 00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:52.599 Tonight, I said the Clippers have to be good on the perimeter because if 25 00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:56.359 Milwaukee gets it going, look out. But in that first half they were 26 00:01:56.400 --> 00:02:01.120 just five of eighteen from distance twenty eight percent. The problem was things would 27 00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:07.400 progress to the mean and then some they hit fourteen of their twenty three pointers 28 00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:10.840 in the second half, or they went fourteen at twenty in the second half. 29 00:02:10.840 --> 00:02:16.680 That's seventy percent from distance, just a ridiculous number. Pat Collins and 30 00:02:16.759 --> 00:02:20.599 at one point hit three in a Row in the third quarter. Clippers got 31 00:02:20.599 --> 00:02:24.039 down by as many as twenty six, but it's tough to beat a team 32 00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:28.560 that ends up shooting fifty percent from the outside. Even with the Clippers going 33 00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:34.280 eighteen to forty six from distance, that's just under forty percent. But nineteen 34 00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:38.800 made three pointers and timely ones to stop Clippers runs when they had it down 35 00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:46.039 to within nine on a tippit from Robert Covington in the fourth quarter, and 36 00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:50.560 then Drew Holiday another bruin like Norman Powell. Well, he had eleven of 37 00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:53.919 his twenty seven points in that fourth hit some tough shots. He's a killer. 38 00:02:54.039 --> 00:02:57.199 He's a Clippers killer. He's been in a thorn in their side for 39 00:02:57.240 --> 00:03:00.159 a long time. So have the Milwaukee Bucks to the entire league. They 40 00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:05.719 are the defending champ. She saw some of that championship DNA. Bobby Portis 41 00:03:05.759 --> 00:03:07.960 had another good game, had thirty yesterday had twenty four, and this one 42 00:03:08.039 --> 00:03:15.680 Jannis didn't put up monster numbers, just as his average twenty eight ten five 43 00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:20.680 on a eight of fifteen shooting. But the other guys, the other guards 44 00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:27.560 and Bobby Portis played some big time basketball. He had ten of his what 45 00:03:27.759 --> 00:03:30.560 was it twenty eight points in the fourth quarter, twenty four points in the 46 00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:35.000 fourth quarters. So when the Clippers made their run when they had it to 47 00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:39.520 within nine, Bobby Portis and Drew Holiday answered it. Connington hit another three 48 00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:44.439 pointer. He went six of nine by himself. But the Clippers in that 49 00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:49.560 second quarter, going five minutes over five minutes scoreless, that really did them 50 00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:53.039 in. They just couldn't afford to have a shooting slump like that against a 51 00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:58.319 potent offense and a great defense that the Milwaukee Bucks possess. And they have 52 00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:01.479 been quietly flying on the radar. Maybe that's redundant. They have been flying 53 00:04:01.560 --> 00:04:06.159 under the radar, but for a team that's the raging champs with the raigning 54 00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:11.879 Finals MVP, two time regular season MVP, and nannies Denakopo, it's unusual 55 00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:15.240 to see. And they're thirty four and twenty one now. They got off 56 00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:16.439 to a s little start. I believe they were six and six. They 57 00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:20.439 had some injuries. Chris Middleton started off slow at just seventeen points on this 58 00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:25.480 one, but he's been much better as of late, and the Clippers did 59 00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:28.720 not have an answer for them on the defensive end. Some of that could 60 00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:31.759 be because new pieces out there. God's just not being connected yet, not 61 00:04:31.800 --> 00:04:35.800 being in sync. Not a lot of synergy. But if you had any 62 00:04:35.879 --> 00:04:42.120 questions about the trade on Friday for Norman Powell, I mean, why would 63 00:04:42.120 --> 00:04:46.879 you to begin with? But he answered all of them. He is an 64 00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:51.720 absolute stud. Twenty eight points in twenty four minutes and doing it efficiently. 65 00:04:53.519 --> 00:04:59.399 Just took sixteen shots to get those twenty eight points. He's and I always 66 00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:02.319 say this because he's a former Clipper, He's like a more efficient Lou Williams 67 00:05:02.319 --> 00:05:05.000 that plays defense at times. That's what he looks like. He can just 68 00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:09.639 go get a bucket for himself. He also had a nice pass Robert Covington 69 00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:13.639 after his offensive rebound on a misshot that led to a big three point to 70 00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:17.399 put it to within eleven and the fourth quarter. Those two, of course 71 00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:21.920 already have that chemistry built up from being in Portland together, but it was 72 00:05:21.959 --> 00:05:26.800 nice to see the two man game with them being the guys leading the Clippers 73 00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:31.160 back in that fourth quarter when a lot of Clippers look. Marcus Morris had 74 00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:34.800 a really big first half. I want to say he had fourteen of his 75 00:05:34.959 --> 00:05:40.639 twenty points in that first half, still finished five of eight from distance. 76 00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:44.360 Again, he's finding his rhythm. But Reggie Jackson had an off night after 77 00:05:44.439 --> 00:05:47.240 a couple of good games, three of twelve from the field, ten points 78 00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:50.839 a mere coffee. Has been struggling slightly with his shot recently four of eleven, 79 00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:56.439 Terrence Man still just three of eight, and Luke Kennard two of eight. 80 00:05:56.480 --> 00:06:00.480 Those you can't have that many critical players have off nights, and that's 81 00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:05.240 what led to the Clippers shooting just forty one percent overall, so almost half 82 00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:10.000 of their makes Eighteen of their forty makes in this game were from three. 83 00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:14.839 The three pointer was keeping them alive, but they weren't getting enough easy ones. 84 00:06:14.959 --> 00:06:17.319 Just thirty points in the paint. Still just finished with ten turnovers. 85 00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:19.680 That's a great number. Five in the first half, five in the second 86 00:06:19.720 --> 00:06:24.000 half. There were a lot of positives. When you have a guy like 87 00:06:24.040 --> 00:06:27.800 Norman Powell, now who I've been a big fan of his for a while, 88 00:06:27.879 --> 00:06:31.040 just watching him play at UCLA and then in Toronto with Kawai and seeing 89 00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:35.000 that playoff run and Kawai not give him them fist bump to him going into 90 00:06:35.079 --> 00:06:40.279 that finals game because he was too locked in and focused. But those guys 91 00:06:40.279 --> 00:06:43.519 are buds, Sir, Jebaca was on that team. People are calling the 92 00:06:43.519 --> 00:06:49.240 Clippers Toronto West. But Norman Powell, he offers so much versatility on the 93 00:06:49.240 --> 00:06:55.079 defensive end. He can play multiple positions. He's an efficient shooter, shooting 94 00:06:55.120 --> 00:06:58.920 forty percent on the season, averaging nineteen points per game, and when they've 95 00:06:59.000 --> 00:07:00.920 needed him to step up in Portland, if you watch him over the years, 96 00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:03.879 I mean he had a forty three point game last year. He could 97 00:07:03.879 --> 00:07:09.720 fill it up in a hurry. But efficiently that's the operative word there. 98 00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:15.240 He just makes it look so easy and tough shot makers and creators and guys 99 00:07:15.279 --> 00:07:17.480 that can ees so like that you need them, especially in big moments. 100 00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:21.680 And him playing next to Kawai and Paul George whenever that may be, the 101 00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:27.519 Clippers are going to have one of the most difficult lineups to defend when it 102 00:07:27.560 --> 00:07:32.319 comes to versatility and shooting ability that we've ever seen. That's not hyperbole. 103 00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:36.560 They're going to do some crazy stuff with combinations because coming ten and what he 104 00:07:36.600 --> 00:07:40.519 can do also, and I know he's an understricted free agent coming up. 105 00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:44.439 We'll see what happens with that. But Norman Powell's under contract for four years 106 00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:46.839 after this year. While He's in the prime of his career at twenty eight 107 00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:53.079 years of age, so an unbelievable get by the front office. Quite simply, 108 00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:56.360 I was shocked that they were able to pull it off. We also 109 00:07:56.560 --> 00:07:59.800 want to thank the guys that left for their contributions to this Clippers team and 110 00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:03.600 Bledsoew, Justice Winslow, Keyan Johnson. And it's crazy to say. I 111 00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:07.959 talked about it in the pregame show with Noah Eagle, but I've been following 112 00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:13.839 Clippers former Clippers over the last three years just off of some of those pass 113 00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:16.519 trades. I keep an eye on what Montrez is up to, Tobias Harris, 114 00:08:16.959 --> 00:08:22.560 Lou Williams, Pat Bev, all those guys, because they were part 115 00:08:22.600 --> 00:08:26.680 of the fabric of this team, this organization and the foundation they've been building 116 00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:31.759 for a while now that's eventually going to lead to a championship. And they 117 00:08:31.800 --> 00:08:35.000 helped lay some of that foundation and they made my job a lot easier. 118 00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:41.679 And Justice Winslow was really starting to come into his home and play similar to 119 00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:46.879 how he did with the Miami Heat, and I'm gonna be watching him in 120 00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:50.320 Portland. Eric Bledsoe came back and he was more than just solid for the 121 00:08:50.360 --> 00:08:54.279 Clippers. He had some huge games. Think about those guys. Even Keyan 122 00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:58.840 Johnson had some huge moments. The Clippers don't have four comebacks of twenty plus 123 00:08:58.919 --> 00:09:01.559 or more in A'm back down thirty five, second best come back in NBA 124 00:09:01.639 --> 00:09:05.879 history without those guys. So you gotta tip your cap to them and also 125 00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:11.480 be very excited about having Norman Powell here for the long term. All right, 126 00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:16.679 we will not take a time out yet. Javier in Lahabra Heights, 127 00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:18.879 I just want to fake out, Katie, Javier your on Clippers stock without 128 00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:22.759 him Astin, Hey, what's up at him? How are you mad? 129 00:09:22.919 --> 00:09:26.840 Hey? What's a you know, tough game? But you know it just 130 00:09:26.279 --> 00:09:30.559 they don't. You know, It's just like we have two new guys and 131 00:09:30.559 --> 00:09:33.440 and you know it just it was I knew they're not They're not gonna win 132 00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:39.080 to date game. But you know what they have trouble with with Milwaukee the 133 00:09:39.159 --> 00:09:43.279 last couple of years, even with Kawaii and Paul George, everyone does, 134 00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:46.600 they have been one of the best teams in the league. There's no shame 135 00:09:46.679 --> 00:09:48.799 in losing to Milwaukee. No, That's what I'm saying. Yeah, So 136 00:09:48.840 --> 00:09:52.240 it was just, you know it was just you know, but my other 137 00:09:52.919 --> 00:09:56.960 uh comment here is At. You know what, remember the first time I 138 00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:00.559 called you, Adam, it was an October. I told you, you 139 00:10:00.600 --> 00:10:03.159 know, Eric Bleat, So he's an you know, good player, but 140 00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:05.559 we need another player, we need we need to trade them. And look 141 00:10:05.559 --> 00:10:11.320 what happened. You know, Lawrence Frank he uh, I'm telling you man, 142 00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:15.159 he's an next uh, the next Jerry West. I mean he was 143 00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:18.919 so quiet. Everybody's talking about this team, that team is going to do 144 00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:22.879 this and this, and he always comes up and does something every year. 145 00:10:22.399 --> 00:10:26.200 And you know, he's just trying to build a team. He's trying he's 146 00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:28.600 just trying to win a championship. I'm like you said earlier, you know, 147 00:10:30.080 --> 00:10:33.360 you know some of these players that leave, Yeah, you feel bad, 148 00:10:33.480 --> 00:10:35.279 but you know what, he's trying to win a championship. I mean 149 00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:39.519 that that's that's what it is. I mean, that's that's what Steve Barmber 150 00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:43.360 wants. We won a championship. Just unfortunate. Part of the business is 151 00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:46.960 Lawrence Frank always says, with having to see guys leave that, you know, 152 00:10:48.080 --> 00:10:50.360 there's some real camaraderie with especially in that Clippers locker room. I mean, 153 00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:54.159 you can tell these guys love playing next to one another, so it's 154 00:10:54.200 --> 00:10:58.600 never easy. But the ultimate goal, yes, you want to win that 155 00:10:58.679 --> 00:11:01.919 first ring. That's what the goal is. They will do whatever it takes 156 00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:05.679 to get there. No, no, that that's for sure. So I 157 00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:09.720 mean, I just you know, and I don't think they're gonna they're gonna 158 00:11:09.720 --> 00:11:13.320 make another move. I mean, it's just we've got a couple more days. 159 00:11:13.360 --> 00:11:16.559 But you know, that's what we want. We want to win a 160 00:11:16.639 --> 00:11:18.639 championship. Just just just think about this, Adam. We live in LA 161 00:11:20.039 --> 00:11:22.879 I mean, dodge and go all in. Lakers do the same thing the 162 00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:28.480 Rams, you know, we we the Clippers. We gotta go and follow 163 00:11:28.519 --> 00:11:31.639 the same route and win that ring. Like you said, just get that 164 00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:35.200 first ring. So if it just happened this year, for sure, next 165 00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:39.679 year with Pale with the team, we're gonna be we're gonna be good. 166 00:11:39.879 --> 00:11:41.799 So they're gonna beat I'll talk to you and talk to you next time, 167 00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:46.200 all right. Yeah, Look, the thing that impresses me most is not 168 00:11:46.279 --> 00:11:50.559 just the fact that they're going all in. They're doing it with guys at 169 00:11:50.600 --> 00:11:54.480 the right time in their careers. Norman Powell is just entering his prime, 170 00:11:54.039 --> 00:12:00.200 and he's under a pretty team friendly deal for the production that he gives. 171 00:12:01.080 --> 00:12:05.679 They still have flexibility. They keep that flexibility. They're always refining the roster 172 00:12:05.879 --> 00:12:09.919 and tweaking and making it better. And they have the right coach to plug 173 00:12:09.919 --> 00:12:13.039 and play the right guys at the right time. Nobody's gonna have more fun 174 00:12:13.559 --> 00:12:20.919 with the amount of lineups than coach Lewis with this team and unlocking the best 175 00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:24.720 lineup the right rotations for the perfect time of the game. That's why the 176 00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:28.639 Clippers have been able to come back. He sees things, he makes the 177 00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:31.440 adjustments, and they come storming back. And they almost did it again down 178 00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:35.799 by his MANYUS twenty six. They had it to within nine about eight minutes 179 00:12:35.879 --> 00:12:39.840 left in the fourth quarter, with the Milwaukee Bucks just could not be stopped 180 00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:43.879 from the outside fourteen of twenty from three in the second half. They would 181 00:12:43.879 --> 00:12:46.240 win by twenty four with the final score one thirty seven to one thirteen over 182 00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:50.879 the Clippers. We will take a quick time out now. Coming up next, 183 00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:52.440 we'll get back to your phone calls eight to sixty six nine eight seven 184 00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:58.000 two five seventy eight six six ninety seven two five seventy So here from the 185 00:12:58.000 --> 00:13:01.799 head coach and the players. Clippers fall back to one game under five hundred 186 00:13:01.799 --> 00:13:05.919 and twenty seven and twenty eight and the next game is in Memphis on Tuesday. 187 00:13:05.960 --> 00:13:09.440 I'm out of Moslin. You're listening to Clippers Talk. You're on the 188 00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:22.639 ump five seventy l A Sports. This is LA Clippers basketball quarter three for 189 00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:28.039 the time he got it. This is the official hole of your LA Clippers. 190 00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:39.039 Make me Fama Dobo, make me go all out death Gobbo, make 191 00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:45.679 meath. Let's try not to. Clippers lose one thirty seven to one, 192 00:13:45.799 --> 00:13:52.000 third team to Milwaukee Buck Downtown Los Angeles. Welcome back into Clippers Talk. 193 00:13:52.080 --> 00:13:56.879 I'm out of Moslin eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy eight six 194 00:13:56.960 --> 00:14:01.000 six nine eight seven two five seventy. It was the debut of Norman Powell, 195 00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:03.600 and what a debut it was. His twenty eight points, just four 196 00:14:03.679 --> 00:14:09.799 shy of his season high of thirty two that came against the Utah Jazz back 197 00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:16.799 in December. Clippers, though, gave up fourteen three pointers on twenty attempts 198 00:14:16.840 --> 00:14:18.799 in the second half. A lot of that it's just great shooting. It's 199 00:14:18.799 --> 00:14:22.360 team getting hot, but sometimes you don't put a hand in the face early. 200 00:14:22.399 --> 00:14:26.799 It doesn't matter when you do later because a team or a player is 201 00:14:26.919 --> 00:14:33.600 already in rhythm. And the Clippers had that loll in the second quarter where 202 00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:37.080 they got beat up thirty two to nineteen. They lost the second quarter by 203 00:14:37.159 --> 00:14:41.279 thirteen points after going five minutes scoreless, and really during that five minutes where 204 00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:48.080 they went scoreless, Milwaukee wasn't scoring that much. But the Clippers defensively they 205 00:14:48.120 --> 00:14:52.840 weren't good enough obviously in the second half, especially thirty nine points in the 206 00:14:52.919 --> 00:14:58.639 third quarter, thirty eight points in the fourth quarter, so seventy seven in 207 00:14:58.679 --> 00:15:03.559 the second half alone. Milwaukee wins by twenty four. Welcome back into Clippers 208 00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:07.039 countdown. That'll be on Thursday, Clippers Stock, Let's go to Jack in 209 00:15:07.159 --> 00:15:13.240 La Jack. You're on without of Maslin. How are you hey? They're 210 00:15:13.480 --> 00:15:16.320 good to see you. I was just wondering, like, especially with full 211 00:15:16.440 --> 00:15:20.679 Jorg Kawai's injuries, maybe do we move off of one of them? I 212 00:15:20.679 --> 00:15:24.919 mean, the best ability is availability, and you know, like maybe we 213 00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:28.679 get a hardened or something. At the trade down, they were Sabonis. 214 00:15:28.679 --> 00:15:31.039 They were even talking about in Indiana you would trade one of those guys for 215 00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:35.519 Sabonis. I mean, I mean, I don't know. I mean just 216 00:15:35.600 --> 00:15:41.000 again, but maybe even Hardened, because you know Hardens Burns availability hasn't Jack. 217 00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:45.360 I appreciate the phone call, but Harden's availability hasn't been very good either. 218 00:15:45.559 --> 00:15:50.399 And both those players play defense, play great defense. Yeah, they 219 00:15:50.399 --> 00:15:54.360 are two way players. And Jack, you know what. I say this 220 00:15:54.399 --> 00:15:58.480 all the time. But if Kawai doesn't get hurt last year, I don't 221 00:15:58.480 --> 00:16:00.240 know if and all that, but if he doesn't get hurt last year, 222 00:16:00.399 --> 00:16:04.159 look, everybody, Lakers fans told me this. The Clippers were one at 223 00:16:04.200 --> 00:16:10.960 all. They have the formulae, they have the two guys. I appreciate 224 00:16:10.960 --> 00:16:14.600 the phone call, Jack. They gotta get him healthy. Yes, availability 225 00:16:14.679 --> 00:16:22.559 does matter, but it's so hard to find two superstars of their pedigree and 226 00:16:22.600 --> 00:16:26.080 bring them together like this. You want to see it through, especially because 227 00:16:26.679 --> 00:16:32.080 you bring in Norman Powell now as the third score. This team is so 228 00:16:32.159 --> 00:16:33.919 deep. They have so many guys that play both ends of the floor, 229 00:16:36.039 --> 00:16:40.080 and they've been getting by with Paul George only playing twenty six games so far 230 00:16:40.159 --> 00:16:42.679 this season, Kawhi not playing one so far, and there's still just a 231 00:16:42.759 --> 00:16:48.279 game under five hundred. Nobody else could weather the amount of injuries like the 232 00:16:48.279 --> 00:16:52.720 Clippers have. Well, we have a moment though. Let's Paul's ten seconds 233 00:16:52.759 --> 00:16:59.200 for station identification here on AM by seventy LA Sports This LA Clippers Basketball, 234 00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:07.200 seventy KLAC Los Angeles k HD to Los Angeles and iHeart radio station. Clippers 235 00:17:07.240 --> 00:17:11.319 lose one thirty seven to one thirteen to the Milwaukee Bucks and the debut of 236 00:17:11.359 --> 00:17:15.640 Norman Powell and Robert Covington, who had thirteen points, a couple of really 237 00:17:15.720 --> 00:17:19.759 nice defensive plays. I mean somebody else who he's shooting on that three pointer 238 00:17:19.839 --> 00:17:22.680 he hit in the fourth quarter to bring it to within eleven from the corner. 239 00:17:22.720 --> 00:17:26.960 He's been shooting forty eight percent from the corner this season. And he's 240 00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:30.599 another guy that you bring in and I think thirty one years of age, 241 00:17:32.319 --> 00:17:34.799 and you wonder if the Clippers can bring the best out of him like they 242 00:17:34.799 --> 00:17:41.559 have with Patoomb and Reggie Jackson. They just dip him in Clippers culture and 243 00:17:41.680 --> 00:17:45.759 revitalizes guys. We've seen it so many times now because Covington wasn't playing his 244 00:17:45.880 --> 00:17:52.240 best basketball recently in Portland. He was shooting just thirty four percent from three 245 00:17:52.279 --> 00:17:56.920 on the year, and the numbers have kind of been down. But I 246 00:17:56.960 --> 00:17:59.680 think on this Clippers team and look, change of scenery does so much for 247 00:17:59.720 --> 00:18:03.480 a play or two. Being in a winning environment with a team with championship 248 00:18:03.519 --> 00:18:07.720 aspirations. Yeah, it's dependent on Paul George and Kawhi Leonard and seeing if 249 00:18:07.759 --> 00:18:12.039 they can come back this season. But the Clippers are laid out a roadmap 250 00:18:12.559 --> 00:18:18.640 and they have guys under contract for years that are just either entering their primes, 251 00:18:18.400 --> 00:18:22.440 are still in their primes, or are young players just getting better and 252 00:18:22.519 --> 00:18:30.440 better like Luke Nard to beats Zoobots, Terrence Man a mere coffee that you 253 00:18:30.480 --> 00:18:36.000 can see. They have a window where they can compete for a title for 254 00:18:36.119 --> 00:18:40.200 years to come, barring injuries. But that's what it is for every team. 255 00:18:40.359 --> 00:18:44.319 Morris in Long Beach, Morris, you're on Clippers. Stop with Adams 256 00:18:44.359 --> 00:18:47.160 and what's up? Hey, Adam? First of all, when you can 257 00:18:47.160 --> 00:18:52.200 get when you can get seventy from the three point line, ridiculously you can 258 00:18:52.240 --> 00:18:56.200 get twenty shots? Okay, what is that? Forty two points on twenty 259 00:18:56.240 --> 00:19:00.440 shots? It's kept to overcome that straight up. I don't care what you're 260 00:19:00.440 --> 00:19:03.279 doing. In another other categories, they're hot they were really hot. Nothing 261 00:19:03.319 --> 00:19:07.559 to apologize for the World champions. I'm talking about Milwaukee and they shows you 262 00:19:07.599 --> 00:19:11.559 why they was the World champions. Okay, but I want to share this 263 00:19:11.599 --> 00:19:15.200 with you. I knew some trade talks is going on somewhere. Now, 264 00:19:15.240 --> 00:19:18.279 let me tell you what they're saying about the team. Have the chickens come 265 00:19:18.279 --> 00:19:19.640 home the roost on me? Are you're gonna go after me now? More 266 00:19:19.720 --> 00:19:23.759 so? I do some trade talks is happening now that the people on TV 267 00:19:25.240 --> 00:19:27.559 they talked about next year, that the Clippers are the favorites with the two 268 00:19:27.640 --> 00:19:30.640 stars back and what they got right now, it's a done deal. But 269 00:19:30.720 --> 00:19:33.599 let me tell you what else they said. They said, they said that 270 00:19:33.680 --> 00:19:37.039 the Clippers don't take the year off. They don't. That's not their religion. 271 00:19:37.039 --> 00:19:40.519 They don't take the gear off. Well, I'd like that, previous 272 00:19:40.559 --> 00:19:44.039 callers said, Like the previous callers said, I don't think they're through with 273 00:19:44.119 --> 00:19:47.240 the trade stuff, and like the follows on TV said, I don't think 274 00:19:47.240 --> 00:19:49.680 mister Barman got to borrow no money to pay his bills right on, and 275 00:19:49.680 --> 00:19:53.279 then nothing they said was talking about the tax if the NBA puts on what 276 00:19:53.359 --> 00:19:56.839 they called the luxury taxes, he's not. He's not afraid of that. 277 00:19:56.079 --> 00:20:00.039 And nothing they said was tyrone because they were talking about Tybron Lew. This 278 00:20:00.079 --> 00:20:03.240 man is respected. This man got a reputation. We Tyron Leo got a 279 00:20:03.240 --> 00:20:07.119 reputation. They were saying that if you give him something to work with, 280 00:20:07.839 --> 00:20:11.799 if you're giving some players forget taking it. He might do something this year. 281 00:20:11.240 --> 00:20:15.839 But anyway, the future is bright with his team. And again I'm 282 00:20:15.880 --> 00:20:18.400 sure they're not finished. And it's not the name of the star you bring 283 00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:21.160 in. There's got to be a chemistry. You get the chemistry going, 284 00:20:21.440 --> 00:20:23.039 then you got it. And thanks for this time, Adam, behave yourself 285 00:20:23.039 --> 00:20:26.519 now, Marris, thank you for the phone call. I'm always trying to 286 00:20:27.400 --> 00:20:33.400 You're right though, at all three levels now ownership, front office, head, 287 00:20:33.400 --> 00:20:38.519 coach, coaching staff, clippers are elite and they're in a position or 288 00:20:38.599 --> 00:20:42.759 they are going to be contending for championships. But you gotta have your superstars 289 00:20:42.799 --> 00:20:48.200 healthy. And we're still hoping because we don't know. If you heard in 290 00:20:48.240 --> 00:20:53.200 the pregame show, I played the Lawrence Frank audio he spoke with the media 291 00:20:53.279 --> 00:20:59.000 yesterday for about twenty five minutes. I tried to play the most pertinent stuff 292 00:20:59.000 --> 00:21:00.920 for Clipper Nation pre game, and he talked about how when it comes to 293 00:21:00.960 --> 00:21:04.920 Kawhi Leonard, we just don't know. He doesn't know how is his body 294 00:21:04.960 --> 00:21:10.000 going to respond to the rehab, to the treatments, if he can come 295 00:21:10.000 --> 00:21:12.000 back this season or not. And when it comes to Paul George, they're 296 00:21:12.039 --> 00:21:15.160 still waiting to get him an MRI at the end of this month, it 297 00:21:15.240 --> 00:21:19.960 sounds like, but that could change too, so we'll see. The point 298 00:21:21.079 --> 00:21:26.519 is the things that are in their control, they're handling beautifully. Kidding Norman 299 00:21:26.599 --> 00:21:30.559 Powell, I'll tell you this was a boon. This was an unbelievable get 300 00:21:30.720 --> 00:21:36.119 for the Clippers. That fits Clippers culture as he saw it to night perfectly. 301 00:21:36.839 --> 00:21:40.839 Guy in his first game, leads them in scoring and was the go 302 00:21:40.960 --> 00:21:45.799 to guy during the comeback. People are already saying he's the best player available 303 00:21:45.839 --> 00:21:51.359 for the Clippers right now. And if you followed him in Southern California and 304 00:21:51.400 --> 00:21:56.279 at UCLA, he's just of that mold of that ilk two way player. 305 00:21:56.920 --> 00:22:02.559 Wants to play defense, even though he's undersized height wise, it's about the 306 00:22:02.640 --> 00:22:07.200 length that he brings to the game, the way he can deflect passes and 307 00:22:07.319 --> 00:22:11.039 just that wingspan. Another guy that can guard multiple positions. Guys like that 308 00:22:11.079 --> 00:22:15.920 are so hard to find. Robert Covington, two first round picks were given 309 00:22:15.960 --> 00:22:23.240 up for him from Portland to Houston. This is somebody that he brings a 310 00:22:23.240 --> 00:22:27.519 little bit of that edge on the defensive end, loves doing the dirty work 311 00:22:29.279 --> 00:22:32.319 and then can hit corner threes. He's got some of that PJ. Tucker 312 00:22:32.400 --> 00:22:37.160 like game. Also a versatile defender. So we'll see if the Clippers are 313 00:22:37.240 --> 00:22:41.240 done or not. Either way, they set the bar so high that every 314 00:22:41.279 --> 00:22:47.160 other trade that happens during the next lesson a week now, during the next 315 00:22:47.200 --> 00:22:49.640 four or five days is going to be compared to did you get enough? 316 00:22:49.680 --> 00:22:55.480 Because look what the Clippers did to get Norman Powell. So setting a standard 317 00:22:55.480 --> 00:22:59.720 there. Lawrence Frank has just been unbelievable. And yeah, a caller said 318 00:22:59.720 --> 00:23:02.440 earlier, he's the next Jerry West. Well he's working with him now. 319 00:23:03.440 --> 00:23:06.839 So is that torch being passed? I'm sure looks like it's so far. 320 00:23:07.400 --> 00:23:08.160 All right, Well, we'll tell you a quick time out. We'll come 321 00:23:08.160 --> 00:23:15.359 back. You'll hear from coach lou Started. Clippers fall one thirty seven to 322 00:23:15.480 --> 00:23:18.599 one. Thirteams to the Milwaukee Bucks. You're gonna hear from the head coach 323 00:23:21.039 --> 00:23:26.440 and Lenny and Inglewood team one of my favorites. That's next year on Clipper 324 00:23:26.480 --> 00:23:32.359 self on AM five to seventy as fours. What a Drake's I don't started 325 00:23:32.400 --> 00:23:36.119 fun and bottom that the old team? Yeah, I didn't get your front 326 00:23:36.119 --> 00:23:41.799 of jump. Let's this is LA Clippers basketball quarter three for the time he 327 00:23:41.039 --> 00:23:47.680 got it. This is the official home of your LA Clippers. What the 328 00:23:48.559 --> 00:23:52.200 what? I love goal five foot three two? I let one goal five. 329 00:23:52.440 --> 00:23:59.000 I don't bluff Broms suffer though you're erupting it. It's really tough to 330 00:23:59.079 --> 00:24:04.519 second Clipper Sloths one thirty seven to one thirteenth of the Walkey Bucks in downtown 331 00:24:04.559 --> 00:24:12.720 Los Angeles. Okay, day does it right here? Nothing Clippers fall by 332 00:24:12.799 --> 00:24:18.000 twenty four. They're in Memphis on Tuesday tip time at five pm. I'll 333 00:24:18.039 --> 00:24:22.000 have Clippers countwn be four. You're starting at four pm. Clippers in this 334 00:24:22.039 --> 00:24:26.519 one. A couple other things that really hurt them besides the three points shooting 335 00:24:26.839 --> 00:24:30.160 end of quarters, first quarter, Chris Middleton with a buzzer beater, second 336 00:24:30.200 --> 00:24:34.319 quarter, Bobby Portis. This has been a trend this season. It's not 337 00:24:34.359 --> 00:24:38.240 like the Clippers haven't done it either, but it's felt like it's happened to 338 00:24:38.279 --> 00:24:44.039 them more often than more than it's happened to the opponent, with it being 339 00:24:44.039 --> 00:24:47.680 in the clippers favor at least eight six six, nine, eight seven two 340 00:24:47.720 --> 00:24:52.119 five seventy eight sixty six nine eight seven two five seventy Lenny and Inglewood, 341 00:24:52.519 --> 00:24:59.599 what do you got? What's up? What's up that look? I think 342 00:25:00.039 --> 00:25:03.880 you know that's first of all, I'm from walking in like, so I 343 00:25:03.640 --> 00:25:08.680 go on, my guys, are you jumping on you jumping on kid? 344 00:25:08.839 --> 00:25:11.039 Yeah? Right now? No, No, don't get me wrong. I 345 00:25:11.160 --> 00:25:15.559 told him three four years ago, I said, Clippers, we want to 346 00:25:15.599 --> 00:25:18.799 do it, and they they ride me all the time, and every year 347 00:25:18.440 --> 00:25:22.039 they get close to It's like you say, last year, they all know 348 00:25:22.119 --> 00:25:26.240 what was up. But if we would have had our you know, our 349 00:25:26.319 --> 00:25:30.000 boys, he's just you know, Kawhi, I think we we don't have 350 00:25:30.039 --> 00:25:32.720 had it. But look, you don't want to say the Bucks are the 351 00:25:32.759 --> 00:25:37.319 wrong team. You want to face coming off of a shake up like they 352 00:25:37.359 --> 00:25:41.519 had with Led, So you know, Winslow and did these these guys. 353 00:25:41.519 --> 00:25:45.799 It was just you know Tyler Lou Queen's gabbitt. You know, he's got 354 00:25:45.799 --> 00:25:48.400 to see what he's got. So he's gonna make these cats. He's gonna 355 00:25:48.400 --> 00:25:52.119 get their feet wet. I don't you know, you never want to say 356 00:25:52.960 --> 00:25:56.319 you want to go into a game not trying to win. But I think 357 00:25:56.359 --> 00:26:00.359 you know Tyler Lou is playing the long ball. He's trying to line up 358 00:26:00.400 --> 00:26:04.240 man. And last time when I called, you know, I want to 359 00:26:04.279 --> 00:26:11.319 say, right now, I want to Christen the official nickname for Marcus Morris. 360 00:26:11.599 --> 00:26:17.319 In addition to Bodomack. He wants forgot his Marcus Man game, Morris 361 00:26:17.640 --> 00:26:21.559 Man Game, Man Man Game. I notice you're not saying an old man 362 00:26:21.640 --> 00:26:25.640 game though you know better than that. I'm to see him some time. 363 00:26:25.680 --> 00:26:30.880 Don't don't do that. He has Marcus Morris Senior. But yeah, he's 364 00:26:32.200 --> 00:26:36.240 been playing like a young man recently. But it's a game that ages well 365 00:26:36.440 --> 00:26:41.759 because it relies on the skill set, the buck, the turn, the 366 00:26:41.839 --> 00:26:45.200 faith. I mean to fade away the quarner three. I loved what he 367 00:26:45.400 --> 00:26:49.880 talked about how he you know, he changed up as Christian. He row 368 00:26:51.079 --> 00:26:53.839 he's like I think he said, high low carb, high protry. But 369 00:26:53.880 --> 00:27:00.599 any man. He's just he's just still trying to get that and that just 370 00:27:00.640 --> 00:27:06.359 says everything about somebody who knows the environment that and knows, you know, 371 00:27:06.799 --> 00:27:11.000 what his job is, because you know, Bamber knows what his position, 372 00:27:11.240 --> 00:27:15.359 he knows what he brings to the table, and Frank knows what he's supposed 373 00:27:15.359 --> 00:27:18.960 to do, tylu, And it just trickles down, It trickles down. 374 00:27:19.319 --> 00:27:25.279 But I also think, you know, all the credits are blas you know, 375 00:27:25.519 --> 00:27:26.680 like you said, bless the blesser. They begin to grow on me 376 00:27:26.680 --> 00:27:30.200 a little bit. But like I you know, we just need it from 377 00:27:30.200 --> 00:27:33.720 different pieces. But at the end of the day, I think we got 378 00:27:34.400 --> 00:27:38.200 kind of too many people who do the same thing. So you know, 379 00:27:38.680 --> 00:27:44.079 I'm curious to see what moves they got left. But I definitely think that 380 00:27:44.240 --> 00:27:51.279 Frank and and the logo aren't done. And we got we got we got 381 00:27:51.319 --> 00:27:53.720 the best organization. You know, I'm a dad going to say all the 382 00:27:53.759 --> 00:28:00.400 sports man because Obamba's doing is just phenomenal, phenomenal man, He's back cast 383 00:28:00.519 --> 00:28:03.319 up and say go get it. I want to get it done. I 384 00:28:03.319 --> 00:28:06.880 already told me people, I'm gonna bring in the championship. I bought this 385 00:28:07.039 --> 00:28:11.960 forum because I ain't messing a while with Dolan. I'm building into it and 386 00:28:11.000 --> 00:28:14.880 we're gonna go for this stake. That was one of the big power moves 387 00:28:14.920 --> 00:28:18.200 I've seen the last couple of years. Actually, oh, he took it 388 00:28:18.200 --> 00:28:21.039 out of the side, took the money out of the side we're talking about. 389 00:28:21.119 --> 00:28:26.200 It was done. It was done. So you know what I'm saying 390 00:28:26.240 --> 00:28:29.559 straight cast you know any worry about it, like, I don't even gonna 391 00:28:29.559 --> 00:28:32.640 hear your noise, don't. I'm shutting it down. You can, you 392 00:28:32.640 --> 00:28:34.640 know, you can slide out. I'm still building what I need to build 393 00:28:36.000 --> 00:28:38.240 because I told these people I'm gonna bring them the championship. And like you 394 00:28:38.359 --> 00:28:41.759 gotta said early, man, if that's where we are, man, we 395 00:28:41.920 --> 00:28:47.200 got more moral victories than any team in the NBA over the last five years. 396 00:28:47.680 --> 00:28:52.240 I'm taking Golden State to six. I'm coming back when we had Nick 397 00:28:52.400 --> 00:28:56.720 Young on methods because when we got those, we got those. We need 398 00:28:57.440 --> 00:29:03.119 the chip well I do with that, Lenny, appreciate the phone call. 399 00:29:03.240 --> 00:29:06.480 I'm with you. Let me snip that sound bite for Bob Schmidt here. 400 00:29:06.480 --> 00:29:10.960 I'm sure I'll use it. That's our Clipper Nation feels though perfectly said, 401 00:29:11.000 --> 00:29:14.039 we'll take a quick time out here, we'll come back. I want to 402 00:29:14.039 --> 00:29:17.119 hear from the head coach in Toron lou Clippers lose one thirty seven to one 403 00:29:17.200 --> 00:29:25.920 thirteen to the Milwaukee Bucks. Hibernation is begging for it been in a good 404 00:29:25.920 --> 00:29:33.960 way. They've been patient and they know the team is in place to get 405 00:29:34.000 --> 00:29:41.880 all these guys on the court together, owner, front office, coaching staff, 406 00:29:41.960 --> 00:29:47.759 check, check, check, and they get PG and Kauai healthy. 407 00:29:48.880 --> 00:29:52.440 That is yet to be determined more Clippers stock next. So hear from the 408 00:29:52.440 --> 00:30:03.240 head coach in Toron Lou. Here on five seventy only Sports LA Clippers Basketball 409 00:30:03.319 --> 00:30:07.519 continue safetime shot down the Stretch. This is the official home of the Los 410 00:30:07.559 --> 00:30:18.799 Angeles Clippers. Clippers fall at home one thirty seven to one thirteen to the 411 00:30:18.839 --> 00:30:25.480 Milwaukee Buckshot a Swiss shot the caller earlier. I think it was Lenny. 412 00:30:25.640 --> 00:30:29.039 Yeah, this is not the team you want to play after you make some 413 00:30:29.079 --> 00:30:33.799 big changes like this. I think that's because Milwaukee is such a well oiled 414 00:30:33.839 --> 00:30:37.160 machine and a bunch of guys that have been together for a while now and 415 00:30:37.279 --> 00:30:41.839 also have that championship DNA. So when the Clippers make that run and they're 416 00:30:41.880 --> 00:30:45.599 down nine with nine minutes left. Unlike a lesser team that might wilt, 417 00:30:47.079 --> 00:30:48.559 that might feel okay, here come the comeback. Clips are gonna do it 418 00:30:48.559 --> 00:30:52.480 to us now. Milwaukee Bucks just stepped up and made big shots. Bobby 419 00:30:52.519 --> 00:31:00.000 Portis drew Holiday going to another three pointer. They would win by twenty four 420 00:31:00.920 --> 00:31:06.079 in Norman Powell's debut, and it was a good one. Twenty eight points 421 00:31:06.240 --> 00:31:11.240 in twenty four minutes. Welcome back to so call Norman Powell. Here was 422 00:31:11.240 --> 00:31:15.759 coach lu Though post game, speaking with the media. When you give up 423 00:31:15.839 --> 00:31:18.759 that many points, there's a lot of problems. But what are the things 424 00:31:18.799 --> 00:31:22.279 that are most concerned to you right now? After that performance? Man, 425 00:31:22.359 --> 00:31:25.880 no concerns they beat us. They had a good team. It's never because 426 00:31:25.920 --> 00:31:29.319 it's always concerned when we lose. No like they was too much for us 427 00:31:29.359 --> 00:31:30.480 tonight. They played a good game. They made a lot of threes in 428 00:31:30.519 --> 00:31:33.680 the second half, fourteen for twenty from three. You know, so, 429 00:31:34.039 --> 00:31:40.319 no concerns. They had a good game. When obviously you've seen Pat Hanson, 430 00:31:40.400 --> 00:31:42.519 he had the kind of game gave Vincent Dwayne Washington had last couple of 431 00:31:42.519 --> 00:31:45.640 weeks. When gods get hot, like that, you just kind of tipped 432 00:31:45.640 --> 00:31:48.680 the cap and yeah, then I thought we did a good job trying to 433 00:31:48.680 --> 00:31:52.960 get out and contest a couple of those shots. And one time he called 434 00:31:52.960 --> 00:31:53.680 it, didn't bring it down and made a shot, So I mean he 435 00:31:53.680 --> 00:31:56.599 shot the ball. Well, ran too that with Gabe Vincon like you said, 436 00:31:56.720 --> 00:32:01.039 and ran into it with Dwayne Washington Junior and Indiana and they got hot, 437 00:32:01.200 --> 00:32:06.119 you know, so they were too much for us tonight. And like 438 00:32:06.119 --> 00:32:10.160 I said, they played, they played well. What did you make of 439 00:32:10.559 --> 00:32:14.559 both Norman and Robert Covington's debuts. I thought he did a good job. 440 00:32:14.799 --> 00:32:16.440 You know, thought was kind of tough, you know, right now we've 441 00:32:16.480 --> 00:32:20.039 got to figure out just this second unit, you know, with a point 442 00:32:20.039 --> 00:32:22.680 guard situation and be able to run some different sets. But I thought I 443 00:32:22.720 --> 00:32:25.119 did a good job like normal, you know, attacking the basket, getting 444 00:32:25.119 --> 00:32:29.400 to the free throw line, scoring the basketball. And I thought Covington's you 445 00:32:29.440 --> 00:32:31.920 know, defense, his energy opens to rebounds. He did a good job, 446 00:32:31.960 --> 00:32:35.319 you know, especially for a first game out with no practice, so 447 00:32:36.200 --> 00:32:37.240 just some things we got to tweak and figure out. But I thought they 448 00:32:37.240 --> 00:32:40.519 did a good job overall. You see him kind of trying to figure it 449 00:32:40.559 --> 00:32:43.440 out, you know, Luke telling him where to go and just didn't work 450 00:32:43.480 --> 00:32:45.839 at the time. Yeah, I mean, and that's to be expected. 451 00:32:45.880 --> 00:32:47.519 So like I said, just give him a little bit more time, you 452 00:32:47.559 --> 00:32:50.880 know, clean some things up. But like I said, overall, I 453 00:32:50.880 --> 00:32:53.480 thought he did a good job. Power's ability to score, you know, 454 00:32:53.559 --> 00:32:57.799 off the dribble, on three point line, get to the rim, get 455 00:32:57.839 --> 00:33:00.559 free throws. It's obviously something you guys wanted quite a bit. Is that 456 00:33:00.599 --> 00:33:04.480 the type of skills that you guys feel like can help you have some of 457 00:33:04.480 --> 00:33:07.079 these pronounced droughts like tonight and also in the past, like he can help 458 00:33:07.119 --> 00:33:09.599 you guys bust out of those. Yeah, I think so. You know, 459 00:33:09.799 --> 00:33:14.000 like I said, he's a dynamic score on mid range, at the 460 00:33:14.200 --> 00:33:16.640 at the rim, three point shot, you know, so when we can 461 00:33:16.680 --> 00:33:20.119 do a lot of things. And like I said, just tonight, it 462 00:33:20.240 --> 00:33:22.880 was made a little harder for him not really having a traditional point guard. 463 00:33:22.920 --> 00:33:25.680 So I just got to figure that part of it out. And other than 464 00:33:25.720 --> 00:33:28.359 that, like I said, I thought he did a really good job with 465 00:33:28.519 --> 00:33:31.839 just attacking him being aggressive. There was Coach lu post game talking about Norman 466 00:33:31.920 --> 00:33:37.880 Powell a great addition by the Clippers. Yeah, he's gonna work wonders in 467 00:33:37.960 --> 00:33:43.839 this offense, even before Kawai and Paul George get here and the Clippers they 468 00:33:43.920 --> 00:33:47.440 need offense and they need a team to get in sync quickly here because o 469 00:33:47.559 --> 00:33:55.920 their upcoming schedule is unforgiving. Clippers in Memphis on Tuesday, then not a 470 00:33:55.960 --> 00:34:00.200 back to back, but two games in Dallas against lou goodnostention in the Mavericks, 471 00:34:01.240 --> 00:34:06.720 then back home against the Golden State Warriors, then the Phoenix Suns in 472 00:34:06.839 --> 00:34:13.800 Phoenix a week from Tuesday. So one game at a time. I mean, 473 00:34:13.840 --> 00:34:15.280 they say it all the time, but there's a reason for that. 474 00:34:15.559 --> 00:34:20.320 You can't look too far ahead. But yeah, it's a tough schedule before 475 00:34:20.320 --> 00:34:23.159 the All Star Break, as it was a tough schedule in January. We'll 476 00:34:23.199 --> 00:34:28.960 see if the Clippers can weather the storm with the injuries going on, because 477 00:34:28.960 --> 00:34:32.039 they just brought in two guys that can help them immediately. As they did 478 00:34:32.079 --> 00:34:36.119 tonight. Defensively, Clippers just weren't good enough on that end. They fall 479 00:34:36.159 --> 00:34:38.440 by twenty four before we get out of here. I do want to thank 480 00:34:38.519 --> 00:34:45.519 the Clippers organization. Noah Eagle, Brian Seamen, Ralph Waller, big brother, 481 00:34:45.639 --> 00:34:52.079 Jake Warner Or head engineer, Downtown Los Angeles producer Katie Newton, and 482 00:34:52.199 --> 00:35:01.760 Sasha lifting spirits here animals, I miss them.

But the Clippers. You're 485 00:35:12.559 --> 00:35:15.079 going to growl and taking on the Memphis Grizzlies in Memphis. Tip time at 486 00:35:15.119 --> 00:35:19.239 five, Clippers pregame at four.
