1
00:00:00.520 --> 00:00:04.559
The game is over. Paul George
money in the pain, but the postgame

2
00:00:04.599 --> 00:00:09.119
reaction has just be goot GOHI Leonard
is so smooth in the mid range.

3
00:00:09.960 --> 00:00:14.080
This is Clippers locker Room, a
recap of today's game and a look ahead

4
00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:18.600
on your home for LA Clippers basketball. And now your host, You,

5
00:00:18.839 --> 00:00:24.079
sir, are a bad man,
Adam Auslin. Clippers fall one thirty one

6
00:00:24.160 --> 00:00:27.960
to one ten here at home at
Crypto dot com arena to the New Orleans

7
00:00:28.079 --> 00:00:31.440
Pelicans. Welcome into your postgame show. I'm Adam Oslin, coming up your

8
00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:33.920
post game box scoring. You'll hear
from the head coach in the players.

9
00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:37.280
But first we head back over to
your voice of the Clippers. Noah Eagle,

10
00:00:37.799 --> 00:00:42.600
No, you brought it up when
it was a twenty mark disparity in

11
00:00:42.759 --> 00:00:46.840
terms of shots taken in this ball
game, New New Orleans ends up with

12
00:00:46.880 --> 00:00:51.799
twenty one more attempts thanks to offensive
rebounds and Clippers having twenty turnovers themselves is

13
00:00:51.799 --> 00:00:55.000
an unreal numbered overcomes. Yeah,
shoot yourself in a foot in a lot

14
00:00:55.039 --> 00:00:57.719
of ways. And again there were
a lot of aspects of the Clippers actually

15
00:00:57.719 --> 00:01:02.479
played pretty well in this game.
Shout fifty two percent shot forty six percent

16
00:01:02.520 --> 00:01:04.879
from three made fifteen of them at
twenty nine assists on thirty nine made field

17
00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:08.599
goals when seventeen of twenty one eighty
one percent at the free throw line,

18
00:01:08.920 --> 00:01:12.519
and they forced sixteen turnovers that led
to twenty one points. So there are

19
00:01:12.519 --> 00:01:15.519
a lot of areas that you still
say, oh, you know what,

20
00:01:15.599 --> 00:01:19.599
the Clippers played pretty well, and
on most nights all those numbers I just

21
00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:23.519
listed to you result in a W. But this was not one of those

22
00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:26.640
nights. This was a night in
which the defense for the Clippers just wasn't

23
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:30.359
anywhere near what their standard is that
they set for themselves and what we've seen

24
00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:34.879
of late from this team, because
it just feels like they had been turning

25
00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:38.400
that corner on the defensive end,
especially earlier in this month and the five

26
00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:44.560
game homestand they're playing some elite defense
against the likes of the Toronto Raptors and

27
00:01:44.680 --> 00:01:48.359
the New York Knicks and eventually the
Golden State Warriors. Even though Steph Curry

28
00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:52.840
had the huge night, nobody else
really hurt them. It feels like they've

29
00:01:52.879 --> 00:01:57.640
lost that a little bit. They
did a great job the first game against

30
00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:00.560
Oklahoma City and the second game allowing
just one on one one oh five,

31
00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:04.120
and those two against one of the
best offenses in the NBA. The game

32
00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:07.560
against Orlando, they had a couple
of lapses, but overall still defensively they

33
00:02:07.599 --> 00:02:10.439
were still right there. This was
the first time in a little time where

34
00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:13.919
it just didn't feel like the defense
was up to par. And if your

35
00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:17.520
defense isn't up to par in this
league, with how great shooters, skill

36
00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:23.159
players, wings guards, big men, all of them are the skill in

37
00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:24.960
this NBA right now, if your
defense isn't up to par, you're not

38
00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:28.719
gonna win very many games. And
I think this was a perfect example of

39
00:02:28.759 --> 00:02:30.800
that. Everything else was set up
for this team to win, and yet

40
00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:36.680
still because of the lack of defensive
intensity, because of twenty one more shot

41
00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:40.120
attempts, because of a crazy shooting
night from three, and because of the

42
00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:45.120
offense and rebounds on the turnovers,
the Clippers just can't find their way back

43
00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:49.840
and trail from wire to wire.
Pelicans end up shooting sixty two percent from

44
00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:53.759
the outside. Brandon Ingram got going
early, Trey Murphy did as well.

45
00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:57.759
He never stopped. He went for
a career high ten main three pointers,

46
00:02:57.800 --> 00:03:00.479
had thirty two points where he averages
thirteen on the season. But on the

47
00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:04.479
positive side for the Clippers, as
we're looking for some silver linings here,

48
00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:08.719
some young guys got some run.
Bones Highland at twenty three minutes and you

49
00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:12.560
know, I know, he had
five turnovers in this one as the Clippers

50
00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:15.120
are turning the ball over left and
right, but still seven assists in eighteen

51
00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:19.400
points. And this is somebody who
goes out there and he is not afraid

52
00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:22.520
to put them off. So here's
an interesting stat for you, Adam,

53
00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:24.479
and Bones was a minus twelve today. In fact, there was only one

54
00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:28.919
player on the Clippers who was a
positive plus minus, who was Xavier Moon,

55
00:03:28.919 --> 00:03:30.360
who played the final six forty six
of the game, and he was

56
00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:37.520
a plus one this year including Denver. When Bones Highland is a positive plus

57
00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:39.919
minus, his teams were fourteen and
one, and that includes Thursday. He

58
00:03:39.960 --> 00:03:45.400
was at plus thirty two in twenty
six minutes against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

59
00:03:46.199 --> 00:03:49.080
He impacts winning when he's playing at
a high level, and he was playing

60
00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:52.159
at a high level for the most
part. You mentioned the turnovers were concern,

61
00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:53.759
and that's the area that he's gonna
have to clean up. But the

62
00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:57.280
defense wasn't there. Enough for the
Clippers to get through it. But when

63
00:03:57.280 --> 00:04:00.800
he's a positive, when he is
a net positive, his teams are net

64
00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:04.840
positives overall. So I think we've
seen some really good things these last two

65
00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:11.800
games from Bones and encouraging signs that
he's going to continue to develop within this

66
00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:15.240
core, within this culture, and
even within these lineups for these final now

67
00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:17.360
seven regular season games. The Clippers
are down a few guys and we don't

68
00:04:17.360 --> 00:04:20.800
know the status of Kawhi Leonard,
who left this game with a facial contusion.

69
00:04:21.279 --> 00:04:25.639
Will update you on that the rest
of the night. Here in your

70
00:04:25.639 --> 00:04:29.920
post game show is the Clippers fall
one thirty one to one ten to the

71
00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:33.240
New Orleans Pelicans here in downtown Los
Angeles. Clippers. Next game coming up

72
00:04:33.319 --> 00:04:38.240
Monday night, they're taking on doubles. Tip time is at seven thirty.

73
00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:42.279
We gotch pregame shows starting at six
thirty. No Eagle, great calls always.

74
00:04:42.279 --> 00:04:45.199
We'll talk to you on Monday,
Adam. You know it always stays

75
00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:49.360
the same. Can't wait. Let's
go post game box score coming up next.

76
00:04:49.480 --> 00:04:53.439
Clippers lose a tough one to the
Pelicans here at home, and you're

77
00:04:53.480 --> 00:04:58.199
listening to the Los Angeles Clippers rightio
network, who is blocked by George this

78
00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:02.560
LA Clippers basket. He is a
one man or the defensive man on the

79
00:05:02.600 --> 00:05:08.480
home of your LA Clippers. Clippers
lose one thirty one to one ten here

80
00:05:08.519 --> 00:05:13.600
at Crypto dot Com Arena to the
New Orleans Pelicans. Coming up, we'll

81
00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:16.240
preview Monday nights game against the Chicago
Bulls. While we have a moment,

82
00:05:16.279 --> 00:05:21.360
though, let's pause ten seconds for
station identification. Here in Los Angeles Clippers

83
00:05:21.399 --> 00:05:28.399
Radio network. This is LA Clippers
Basketball A five seventy KLAC Los Angeles,

84
00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:33.480
ninety eight seven KYSR HD two Los
Angeles and iHeart Radio station. Clippers end

85
00:05:33.560 --> 00:05:36.920
up shooting fifty two percent from the
field, great fifteen thirty three from the

86
00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:42.600
outside, fantastic forty six percent from
distance. Problem was the Pelicans got up

87
00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:46.240
twenty one more shots and they hit
twenty one three's on twenty one of thirty

88
00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:49.800
four shooting. That is, sixty
two percent from the outside. Shot better

89
00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:55.240
from three than from two. They
were just fifty three percent from the field.

90
00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:59.000
Clippers with twenty turnovers leading to twenty
eight points for the Pelicans. Pelicans

91
00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:02.560
had sixteen themselves just eleven hang into
the fourth quarter. And some of the

92
00:06:02.639 --> 00:06:08.040
numbers are a little bit skewed during
inconsequential time, of course, but we'll

93
00:06:08.040 --> 00:06:11.439
still give him till you try to
sort through it. Brandon Ingram finished with

94
00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:15.160
thirty two points. Trey Murphy with
thirty two as well, career high ten

95
00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:17.800
made three pointers for the Pelicans.
Off the bench. Josh Richardson heard the

96
00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:21.199
Clippers as well, three or six
from the outside. He had thirteen points

97
00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:26.319
as four year Los Angeles Clippers,
who were outrebound on the offensive board.

98
00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:30.759
In the offensive board category twelve to
two. They lost the rebounding battle overall

99
00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:35.000
thirty three to twenty nine, but
twelve to two. Ten more offensive rebounds

100
00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:39.319
by the Pelicans. That just can't
happen in this one. A lot of

101
00:06:39.319 --> 00:06:42.439
that. Jonas Valancinis, of course, he had thirteen boards. There was

102
00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:46.800
not a Clipper in double figures.
Rebounding wise, they were led by Bold

103
00:06:46.839 --> 00:06:49.720
Thailand. He had eighteen points in
twenty three minutes, seven or twelve,

104
00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:54.920
shooting three of eight from the outside. Kept fighting, kept pushing the pace

105
00:06:54.959 --> 00:06:58.720
out there. They'd have five turnovers
but seven assists. I love the energy

106
00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:02.800
who brings Clippers, though didn't get
much else. Robert Covington came in late

107
00:07:02.839 --> 00:07:06.160
in the third quarter, played really
well in his minutes sixteen minutes, eleven

108
00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:11.360
points, went three of three from
distance. Nicholas Batoum still looks to be

109
00:07:11.439 --> 00:07:14.839
on the uptrend when it comes to
his outside shooting, after going four of

110
00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:17.560
six Thursday night. After struggling a
little bit, he went four six from

111
00:07:17.560 --> 00:07:23.120
distance tonight with thirteen points. But
your starters Russell Westbrook just four of twelve

112
00:07:23.199 --> 00:07:26.759
fourteen points. Eric Gordon did have
fifteen five five shooting again a nice game,

113
00:07:26.759 --> 00:07:29.839
three of three from the outside.
Didn't play much in the second half.

114
00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:32.519
This one got away from him.
Beats the Zubos with thirteen and five.

115
00:07:33.079 --> 00:07:36.439
Marcus Morris finished with just two points
and twenty two minutes. Kawhi Leonard

116
00:07:36.480 --> 00:07:42.399
four of sixteen for twelve points,
left with a facial contusion in this one.

117
00:07:42.879 --> 00:07:46.720
We're looking for updates on Kauai coming
up next to a preview Monday Night's

118
00:07:46.759 --> 00:07:49.879

122
00:08:07.519 --> 00:08:11.199
by a final score one thirty one

123

152
00:10:28.759 --> 00:10:33.320
one to one ten to the New
Orleans Pelicans. Here at home, Welcome

153
00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:39.519
in to Clippers Countdown. I'm Adam
Oslin live from Crypto dot com arena.

follow Adam A coming up. Hoping at

157
00:10:50.480 --> 00:10:54.759
postgame audio from coach Lou and the
players after one of the most if not

158
00:10:54.879 --> 00:11:01.399
the most disappointing loss of the season. Like the Pelicans obviously have talent even

159
00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:05.039
without Zion Williamson. We knew that
coming in. Brandon Ingram's a stud and

160
00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:13.960
he proved it again thirty two points
and thirteen assists to one turnover. I

161
00:11:13.039 --> 00:11:18.559
saw this number his last two games. Brandon Ingram has twenty three assists to

162
00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:22.639
one turnover. So not only is
he scoring on you, he's finding the

163
00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:26.720
open man every time, and there
was a lot of open men for the

164
00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:33.080
Pelicans in this one. The Clippers
defense came out completely flat. No one

165
00:11:33.159 --> 00:11:35.799
was taking the challenge of staying in
front of their man for the most part.

166
00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:41.600
And if you think the Clippers are
the only team with the philosophy of

167
00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:45.200
drive kicks swing, getting to the
paint draws you defenders find the open man.

168
00:11:45.960 --> 00:11:48.039
I got news for you. Teams
do it all across the league.

169
00:11:48.120 --> 00:11:52.399
The Pelicans did that tonight. That's
how you get a number like this.

170
00:11:52.840 --> 00:11:58.480
Sixty two percent is what they shot
from three. They go twenty one to

171
00:11:58.679 --> 00:12:03.639
thirty four from the outside and hit
nine of their first eleven in the first

172
00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:09.600
quarter, and the Clippers were down
thirty seven to twenty six. Quick starters

173
00:12:09.639 --> 00:12:13.799
outside of Kauai and even he really
struggled with in this game, have not

174
00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:18.000
been good the last two games.
Remember Thursday night against Okay. See the

175
00:12:18.039 --> 00:12:24.960
difference was Kauai with the bench with
batomb with Plumbly with man with bones Thailand.

176
00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:31.879
Tonight, the starters once again came
out, got down by eight quickly,

177
00:12:35.360 --> 00:12:41.879
didn't rotate well defensively on the parimeter
especially. And you can say it's

178
00:12:41.919 --> 00:12:46.279
just a hot shooting night all you
want, but when professionals get wide open

179
00:12:46.320 --> 00:12:50.679
shots, eventually even when you do
have a hand in their face, and

180
00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:52.639
I saw it, and the effort
was there. Later it doesn't matter,

181
00:12:54.559 --> 00:13:00.519
they're gonna knock them down because they
found a rhythm, they found to flow

182
00:13:01.480 --> 00:13:07.120
and these guys don't miss. And
for a team that shoots thirty five percent

183
00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:11.600
from the three point line to shoot
sixty two percent tonight underscores my point.

184
00:13:13.080 --> 00:13:20.399
You give up open shots early,
they start making tough shots later. That's

185
00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:24.639
what I saw out there. Brandon
Ingram had fourteen points in the first quarter.

186
00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:28.080
Trey Murphy started four or four from
the outside and had twelve points in

187
00:13:28.120 --> 00:13:33.440
the first quarter. You let him
cook and get hot, it's gonna be

188
00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:35.559
hard to stop. On the rest
of the game. Trey Murphy went for

189
00:13:35.720 --> 00:13:43.240
his career high ten main three pointers
thirty two points. A lot of them

190
00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:46.279
were open, and then even when
they weren't and guys were trying to run

191
00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:50.120
him off the line, he just
looked right through them and dropped it down

192
00:13:50.159 --> 00:13:54.720
the bucket. This Clippers defense has
been up and down all season long,

193
00:13:56.320 --> 00:14:01.759
but you take out the first seven
games of the year when they came out

194
00:14:01.799 --> 00:14:07.320
and they were playing lesser competition and
Iviza Zubas was unbelievable. And I thought

195
00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:11.159
they were gonna hang their hat on
their defense and they were gonna get by

196
00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:15.039
on that end because they started off
the first seven games that way. But

197
00:14:15.120 --> 00:14:18.720
she take out the first seven games, and now it's just seven games left

198
00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:24.080
in the season. They're basically a
bottom ten defense this year. That's where

199
00:14:24.080 --> 00:14:30.799
they've been, even though it looked
like they were making strides, even though

200
00:14:30.840 --> 00:14:33.000
in five of the last seven games
they hadn't given up more than one oh

201
00:14:33.159 --> 00:14:37.799
five in five of those last seven, they give up one thirty one tonight,

202
00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:45.519
and I just did not like the
effort on that end, and the

203
00:14:45.600 --> 00:14:54.799
lack of chemistry and organization defensively,
or guys just weren't communicating well. It

204
00:14:54.879 --> 00:15:00.840
just looked like the New Orleans Pelicans
were slicing and dicing through the Clippers defense

205
00:15:00.879 --> 00:15:07.559
and getting whatever shot they wanted,
and they were hunting matchups. I saw

206
00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:11.639
them go after Marcus Morris early on. Whenever there was a small out there.

207
00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:18.720
They went at Bones, Highland two, Russell Westbrook. They were getting

208
00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:24.360
the switches. Clippers didn't do a
good enough job fighting through them, and

209
00:15:24.600 --> 00:15:31.679
guys were getting burned. There were
ton of blue eyes the Clippers offense was

210
00:15:33.159 --> 00:15:37.240
probably good enough if you can cut
down the turnovers, like they shot the

211
00:15:37.279 --> 00:15:41.399
ball well when they got shots up. Problem with the problem is they only

212
00:15:41.480 --> 00:15:46.960
took seventy five shots. The Pelicans
took ninety six, twenty one more shot

213
00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:50.519
attempts. They used to ten more
offensive rebounds. They won that category twelve

214
00:15:50.559 --> 00:15:58.480
to two. And the Clippers had
swenty turnovers Pelicans sixteen, but five of

215
00:15:58.480 --> 00:16:02.240
them came late. Of course,
seven of the Clippers came in the fourth

216
00:16:02.320 --> 00:16:07.399
quarter, two during inconsequential garbage time. Is this one was over early in

217
00:16:07.440 --> 00:16:11.720
the fourth And now we're waiting for
a status update on Kawhi. Leonard left

218
00:16:11.759 --> 00:16:15.639
with a facial contusion. May have
been a play where it looked like he

219
00:16:15.679 --> 00:16:21.600
got hit in the face by brandon
Ingram Just eyeball test tell me that we'll

220
00:16:21.639 --> 00:16:26.799
see trying to find let's see I
check Andrew Greif's Twitter account right now,

221
00:16:29.080 --> 00:16:32.960
trying to find an update on Kauai. We'll do what we can here.

222
00:16:33.000 --> 00:16:37.720
But this was a brutal loss for
the Clippers because you're hanging on by a

223
00:16:37.799 --> 00:16:44.600
thread right now in the five seed
currently standings wise, and you can easily

224
00:16:45.559 --> 00:16:48.200
get bounced into the play in tournament. They got the Bulls Monday night,

225
00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:53.679
then they got two in Memphis,
and I'm here to tell you there are

226
00:16:53.720 --> 00:16:57.240
some teams, not just the Pelicans, that are surging currently, and the

227
00:16:57.240 --> 00:17:03.159
team across the Hall is one of
them. They've won seven of their last

228
00:17:03.159 --> 00:17:07.440
ten. They play the Bulls first
tomorrow. Clippers will catch the Bulls on

229
00:17:07.480 --> 00:17:14.440
the second night of a back to
back. But Clippers just haven't been good

230
00:17:14.519 --> 00:17:17.839
enough defensively all season. They've been
inconsistent on that end. It continues in

231
00:17:17.880 --> 00:17:22.119
this game. They couldn't get stops
when they needed to, and even when

232
00:17:22.119 --> 00:17:23.839
they were knocking down shots. It
doesn't matter if you're just trading buckets.

233
00:17:26.359 --> 00:17:33.680
I mean, there was a play
where Richardson end of the third quarter is

234
00:17:33.720 --> 00:17:37.079
fading away from Bones Highland, who
great a great defensive effort, had a

235
00:17:37.119 --> 00:17:41.839
hand in his face. Doesn't matter
Richardson. Josh Richardson was already hot,

236
00:17:41.960 --> 00:17:48.000
knocked it down to end the third
and I thought Bones played well, played

237
00:17:48.039 --> 00:17:51.359
hard. I don't put it on
him. I don't put it on any

238
00:17:51.400 --> 00:17:56.440
one guy. Collectively, they aren't
good enough defensively, not playing championship level

239
00:17:56.519 --> 00:18:02.759
defense. They don't have championship level
insistency. They don't have an identity.

240
00:18:03.079 --> 00:18:07.599
What's their identity? Being consistently inconsistent. I've been telling you for three months.

241
00:18:07.799 --> 00:18:12.119
I don't know where else to put
it. They're up and down on

242
00:18:12.200 --> 00:18:17.519
offense, They're up and down on
defense. Post All Star Break, now

243
00:18:18.799 --> 00:18:23.160
I want to say they're six and
eight. I'll check on that for you

244
00:18:23.400 --> 00:18:26.400
eight six, six nine eight seven
two five seventy eight six six, nine

245
00:18:26.440 --> 00:18:33.279
eight seven two five seventy. Mike
chimes in on Twitter at Mike Underscore h

246
00:18:33.519 --> 00:18:40.119
nineteen ninety. Let's tune in,
y'all. Adams dropping some cold hard truth

247
00:18:40.200 --> 00:18:42.119
on the Clippers lack of defense tonight. I feel like I've been doing this

248
00:18:42.160 --> 00:18:48.920
throughout a lot of the season.
If you follow me at follow Adam Ay,

249
00:18:48.960 --> 00:18:53.079
I'm telling you they're defensive rating.
I'll check it right now, because

250
00:18:53.119 --> 00:19:00.400
it's been hovering around twelve. It's
not true. That's not indica of who

251
00:19:00.440 --> 00:19:03.400
they've been defensively. Yeah, they
were eleventh. I don't know if this

252
00:19:03.480 --> 00:19:07.160
is counting tonight's game yet. On
the season, they're eleventh defensively. You

253
00:19:07.319 --> 00:19:14.200
take out the first seven games,
they're close to being bottom ten. That

254
00:19:14.440 --> 00:19:21.079
eleven defensive rating is fraudulent. I'm
sorry if I got to speak the cold

255
00:19:21.079 --> 00:19:26.759
heart truth tonight after a loss like
this. They aren't close to top ten

256
00:19:26.839 --> 00:19:33.759
defensively. They aren't the team they
were defensively back in October. All I

257
00:19:33.839 --> 00:19:40.079
have to do here is go back
to November first, plug in the parameters

258
00:19:40.519 --> 00:19:45.279
and check what their defensive rating has
been since then. Sixteen and I don't

259
00:19:45.279 --> 00:19:53.759
think that's counting for tonight's game.
So who is this Clippers team with all

260
00:19:53.799 --> 00:19:59.319
the players turn the roster turnover,
and the different players post All Star Break?

261
00:19:59.640 --> 00:20:04.000
What's the style of play? Tell
me, because I've seen a team

262
00:20:04.079 --> 00:20:08.880
that's been up and down for a
while now, and they just don't look

263
00:20:08.920 --> 00:20:14.799
like they've had a fully crystallized identity
all season long. Some of it's out

264
00:20:14.839 --> 00:20:18.559
of your hands when you got injuries
and your two superstars. Unfortunately, I've

265
00:20:18.559 --> 00:20:23.119
been snake bit with injuries, and
we're hoping for the best now from Kauai,

266
00:20:23.799 --> 00:20:30.119
as we're hoping for a speedy recovery
from Paul George. But a lot

267
00:20:30.160 --> 00:20:34.920
of defense's effort. Noah Eagle brought
it up the late great Willis read Now

268
00:20:36.079 --> 00:20:41.279
said it. You know it's ninety
percent effort, But you gotta communicate too,

269
00:20:41.400 --> 00:20:48.799
And even if you're playing fast and
trying to stay in front of your

270
00:20:48.799 --> 00:20:52.279
man, if you over committed times
to a move he makes, you're also

271
00:20:52.559 --> 00:20:57.160
playing bad defense if you're getting shook
that way. So sometimes the energy and

272
00:20:57.200 --> 00:21:03.839
effort was there, execution was not. A whole lot went wrong for the

273
00:21:03.839 --> 00:21:08.000
Clippers tonight, and hopefully Kawhi Leonards
okay, because they get a game Monday

274
00:21:08.079 --> 00:21:14.960
night. It's huge against the Bulls, who again are playing better. To

275
00:21:15.039 --> 00:21:18.119
start things off here on Clippers Talk, let's go to Ben in Glendale.

276
00:21:18.920 --> 00:21:22.880
Ben, what's up, Hey,
Adam, thanks for taking my call.

277
00:21:22.920 --> 00:21:26.279
I was at the game tonight.
That was just a real rough one to

278
00:21:26.359 --> 00:21:30.640
have to watch. I agree with
everything you said. Defensively, it's just

279
00:21:32.079 --> 00:21:36.279
I with PG out, we have
so little room for error. We've got

280
00:21:36.279 --> 00:21:41.119
to be playing almost perfectly from here
on out with how tight the standings are,

281
00:21:41.160 --> 00:21:45.400
and it was just really hard to
watch. I just I don't know.

282
00:21:45.880 --> 00:21:48.880
I don't know what the answer is. I don't know if it's coaching.

283
00:21:51.519 --> 00:21:53.000
You know, at some point we've
got to look at how these guys

284
00:21:53.039 --> 00:22:00.119
are coached, especially especially defensively.
But I gotta talk about the elphant and

285
00:22:00.160 --> 00:22:03.400
in the rum. You know,
like Marcus Morris, he does not.

286
00:22:03.079 --> 00:22:08.119
He has no business playing twenty two
minutes out there. Like I'm glad that

287
00:22:08.200 --> 00:22:12.240
Roco got the minute. I'm glad
that he's playing well. He's taken advantage

288
00:22:12.279 --> 00:22:18.000
of it and hopefully we can see
more of him. Yeah, I hear

289
00:22:18.039 --> 00:22:21.519
you. I appreciate the phone call. Ben Marcus struggled again. He was

290
00:22:21.559 --> 00:22:26.039
my player to watch. He's been
in a deep, deep shooting funk.

291
00:22:26.920 --> 00:22:30.680
I talked about it pregame. He's
under forty percent from the field, about

292
00:22:30.720 --> 00:22:37.359
thirty percent from three In this one, he was hesitant, just took three

293
00:22:37.400 --> 00:22:40.279
shots. There were times he was
deferring to Russell Westbrook out of the three

294
00:22:40.319 --> 00:22:45.839
point line when he had an open
look. Understandably, his confidence could be

295
00:22:45.960 --> 00:22:52.240
very low at the moment because he
just hasn't had it defensively. I gotta

296
00:22:52.279 --> 00:22:55.039
tell you what I observed out there. He was getting picked on at times.

297
00:22:55.559 --> 00:22:59.200
They were going at him. CJ. Mccollumb got the switch isolated,

298
00:22:59.359 --> 00:23:03.599
took him to his island, went
by him for a layup. I'm not

299
00:23:03.640 --> 00:23:07.119
trying to be harsh or overly critical. That's just what happened. It's a

300
00:23:07.160 --> 00:23:14.720
fact. I want Marcus to succeed
two. I think he's gonna pull out

301
00:23:14.720 --> 00:23:18.720
of this slump. But there's seven
games left. There's not a lot of

302
00:23:18.759 --> 00:23:23.759
time. Robert Covington, when he's
gotten minutes, has performed problems. He

303
00:23:23.759 --> 00:23:29.839
didn't come until late in the third
quarter. Guy went three or three from

304
00:23:29.839 --> 00:23:37.480
distance, had eleven points, was
on the floor on the hardwood, creating

305
00:23:37.480 --> 00:23:41.920
a turnover, grabbing a steel down
by twenty with a couple of minutes left.

306
00:23:41.559 --> 00:23:45.799
I love that effort. I love
that energy from Rocco. I wouldn't

307
00:23:45.839 --> 00:23:48.519
mind seeing him play more either.
But I've been saying it all season long.

308
00:23:48.680 --> 00:23:52.720
I don't. I don't have a
great answer for you. I don't

309
00:23:52.160 --> 00:23:56.720
the article from Tomarrazarli I read it. I think there's definitely some truth to

310
00:23:56.759 --> 00:24:00.119
it with some of the advanced numbers. Check it out. He works for

311
00:24:00.160 --> 00:24:06.799
clutch Points. He went around asking
why is Marcus playing this much and Roco

312
00:24:06.880 --> 00:24:12.839
not playing so much? I found
it interesting, but I know our night

313
00:24:12.920 --> 00:24:17.440
like tonight, not a lot of
people want to hear it. They don't

314
00:24:17.440 --> 00:24:22.839
want to hear advanced numbers or how
Marcus fits better with the starters, and

315
00:24:22.920 --> 00:24:27.039
that has been the theory, but
the starters aren't playing well the last two

316
00:24:27.039 --> 00:24:30.759
games outside of Kauai and Kawai didn't
have a good game tonight. And I've

317
00:24:30.759 --> 00:24:33.119
told you for a while, you
can't expect a guy to stay at fifty

318
00:24:33.200 --> 00:24:37.519
fifteen ninety forever. What happens when
he doesn't All those flaws that he was

319
00:24:37.559 --> 00:24:41.319
masking up with his great, otherworldly
like performances the last three months, they

320
00:24:41.440 --> 00:24:49.359
get expose real quick when he has
a bad night he did. The hope

321
00:24:49.440 --> 00:24:55.079
is that he's just okay with the
facial contusion, because that's your guy.

322
00:24:56.839 --> 00:25:00.000
That's the guy that can lead him
out of this. That's someone who has

323
00:25:00.039 --> 00:25:07.279
looked like a top three player in
twenty twenty three. Clippers fault tonight one

324
00:25:07.440 --> 00:25:11.920
thirty one to one ten to the
New Orleans Pelicans. Here at Crypto dot

Monday Night, Clipper Nation. You gotta

328
00:25:29.039 --> 00:25:32.680
show up big in that one because
I know shy Town transplants are gonna be

329
00:25:32.720 --> 00:25:38.519
here rooting for a double Bowls.
This Clippers team needs you. They can

330
00:25:38.559 --> 00:25:41.039
feed off the energy of the crowd. They try to create it for themselves

331
00:25:41.039 --> 00:25:45.359
sometimes. And Russell Westbrook, there's
a love affair with him in cliper Nation

332
00:25:45.440 --> 00:25:52.000
already. He makes a big play
and he had some struggled overall. He

333
00:25:52.039 --> 00:25:56.200
tries to get the crowd pumped up
immediately. He got a great and one

334
00:25:56.240 --> 00:26:03.200
off Kawhi finding him rolling to the
basket in the first half. But the

335
00:26:03.240 --> 00:26:07.440
Clippers defense pretty much non existence tonight. Looking for coach lu Audio coming up

336
00:26:07.599 --> 00:26:11.200
right here on Clippers Stalk on a
five seventy LA Sports Who is blocked by

337
00:26:11.319 --> 00:26:17.400
George this LA Clippers basketball. He
is a one man ra the defensive man

338
00:26:17.599 --> 00:26:21.640
on the home of your LA Clippers. You know it's one of those nights

339
00:26:21.880 --> 00:26:26.839
Clippers lose one thirty one to one
ten here and downtown Los Angeles and the

340
00:26:26.920 --> 00:26:33.000
music stopped. I'm out a bos
On live from Crypto dot Com arena coming

341

you can get to us at eight six

343
00:26:38.839 --> 00:26:45.759
six ninety seven two five seventy or
I'm at follow Adam a. The Clippers

344
00:26:47.240 --> 00:26:55.559
have had a lack of conviction on
the defensive end all season. Guys have

345
00:26:55.720 --> 00:27:00.480
not taken up the challenge enough of
staying in front of their man so they

346
00:27:00.480 --> 00:27:03.920
don't get you in rotation, leading
to open three pointers like we saw tonight

347
00:27:03.960 --> 00:27:10.240
from the Pelicans. But the starters
tonight they have to set the tone.

348
00:27:11.759 --> 00:27:17.920
They set the tone about the same
setting we had the music thereat. They

349
00:27:17.960 --> 00:27:23.119
were silent defensively. We needed to
needed them to be loud to have a

350
00:27:23.160 --> 00:27:30.599
great performance, and instead it was
a quiet early start in a game that's

351
00:27:30.640 --> 00:27:37.279
not a matinee contest. I would
have thought this was your typical twelve thirty

352
00:27:37.279 --> 00:27:42.160
one o'clock tip with the way the
Clippers came out lifeless on both ends,

353
00:27:42.200 --> 00:27:48.960
but specifically defensively. You get beat
up that much in the first quarter where

354
00:27:48.960 --> 00:27:55.440
you're down thirteen early on and a
team is nine of eleven from three and

355
00:27:55.480 --> 00:27:59.799
you already have four turnovers, and
nobody really has it going outside of a

356
00:27:59.799 --> 00:28:03.240
B to Zoobots, who I wish
they would feature more, utilize more offensively.

357
00:28:04.240 --> 00:28:08.640
It works when they do it,
they don't do it enough. He

358
00:28:08.720 --> 00:28:12.559
had eight points in the first quarter. And finished with just thirteen guys six

359
00:28:12.599 --> 00:28:18.680
of seven shooting. He went five
for five Tuesday night against the Okase Thunder.

360
00:28:21.200 --> 00:28:26.160
If a guy who's shooting near seventy
percent from the field is having a

361
00:28:26.200 --> 00:28:32.200
good night, feed the beast.
He gets you easy buckets. He has

362
00:28:32.359 --> 00:28:37.759
moves, and Russell Westbrook and him
have a really good connection. They showed

363
00:28:37.759 --> 00:28:41.400
it again tonight. He knows how
to get a big man involved. They

364
00:28:41.440 --> 00:28:48.119
go away from it far too often, it feels like. But defensively and

365
00:28:48.200 --> 00:28:52.039
I know sometimes when you struggle offensively, you can't get stops on the other

366
00:28:52.160 --> 00:28:59.319
end. Defensively, though, is
what really hurt him tonight. Just focus

367
00:28:59.359 --> 00:29:04.359
effort and for a team that needs
to build up chemistry on that end and

368
00:29:04.440 --> 00:29:10.720
show up their defense heading into the
playoffs or the play in or the offseason.

369
00:29:11.359 --> 00:29:15.400
I'm gonna be honest with you.
Nothing's guaranteed. I've told you this

370
00:29:15.559 --> 00:29:21.319
many times. You go on a
losing streak. With the way the West

371
00:29:21.359 --> 00:29:23.119
has been set up in the standings, and the teams that are climbing and

372
00:29:23.200 --> 00:29:30.880
fighting over one another and beating each
other up, and a bunch of records

373
00:29:30.920 --> 00:29:33.759
that are so close to each other, you go on a losing Streak Town

374
00:29:33.799 --> 00:29:41.440
in the season, you'll be out
of the postseason entirely. That would be

375
00:29:42.680 --> 00:29:48.119
just unfathomable. Fathomable of a thought
to have coming into this season that the

376
00:29:48.160 --> 00:29:51.799
Clippers could fall out of the postseason
completely, not even make the play in,

377
00:29:52.200 --> 00:29:56.440
But it has to be brought up. They're currently two and a half

378
00:29:56.480 --> 00:30:00.200
games up on the tenth seed in
the Okase thunder who has the tiebreaker over

379
00:30:00.279 --> 00:30:07.839
that? Really the only team the
Clippers have the tiebreaker over right now the

380
00:30:07.920 --> 00:30:14.079
Golden State Warriors and the Lakers,
who they've beating three times already. That

381
00:30:14.119 --> 00:30:17.480
game on April fifth, though I
posted about it yesterday, I've been trying

382
00:30:17.480 --> 00:30:18.880
to tell people, Hey, the
Lakers playing really good ball. They made

383
00:30:18.920 --> 00:30:22.279
some really good moves. They're coming. They don't have Lebron, but they

384
00:30:22.279 --> 00:30:26.519
have an identity, they know how
they want to play. They could have

385
00:30:26.599 --> 00:30:30.160
Lebron back soon all of a sudden. Lakers seven three to the last ten

386
00:30:30.200 --> 00:30:36.079
ball games, beating good teams without
Lebron. That game on April five,

387
00:30:36.559 --> 00:30:44.119
Clippers Lakers could determine who's in the
playoff or who's in the play in.

388
00:30:45.880 --> 00:30:52.039
We'll see Lenny in Inglewood. Lenny
are on Clippers side without Inmasin. Let

389
00:30:52.039 --> 00:30:57.759
me just tell you this. I've
been hearing chatter about Tyron Lou and I

390
00:30:57.799 --> 00:31:03.559
can only imagine the frustration that he
feels. And anybody who tries to blame

391
00:31:03.640 --> 00:31:10.519
this this season on Tyrone Lew I
don't know nothing about basketball. Because to

392
00:31:10.559 --> 00:31:18.200
put a guy who has that that
sort of ability in terms of coaching and

393
00:31:18.240 --> 00:31:22.640
he's wonted, he's proving it on
a team where he can't doesn't know who

394
00:31:22.680 --> 00:31:26.799
he has available to him, it's
it's too much. It's just too much

395
00:31:27.400 --> 00:31:33.519
that these guys don't they're not showing
up. I mean, I still,

396
00:31:33.599 --> 00:31:37.920
to be honest, I still don't
understand the Russell Westbrook pick up. I

397
00:31:37.039 --> 00:31:42.720
don't get it. But you know
this team. Did you liked it when

398
00:31:42.759 --> 00:31:47.160
it happened, Lenny, Nope?
I didn't. You know, you know,

399
00:31:47.160 --> 00:31:48.279
good word, I didn't say.
I like that said. I thought

400
00:31:48.279 --> 00:31:52.359
that we had chemistry and I thought
anything that that took away from Terrence Man

401
00:31:52.559 --> 00:31:57.680
was a negative. Okay, the
Stars wanted him, and coach Lee wonted

402
00:31:57.720 --> 00:32:05.960
Russell Westbrook. Yeah, I know, and yeah, but it happened at

403
00:32:05.960 --> 00:32:08.839
all because we're six and eightens.
We had him, and we're we're on

404
00:32:08.880 --> 00:32:15.039
a roll prior to that, so
not knocketting Us Russell Westbrook, you know,

405
00:32:15.200 --> 00:32:19.880
but you know he would do well. You got his guaranteed money.

406
00:32:20.440 --> 00:32:24.480
I'm just saying that for an owner
like Steve Baumer, who and I made

407
00:32:24.480 --> 00:32:29.160
sure everybody got their money this year, there should be no reason the dude

408
00:32:29.160 --> 00:32:34.480
shouldn't be playing with all of the
focus and the and the ferocity of a

409
00:32:34.519 --> 00:32:37.839
team that has something to prove and
they have it. And you know,

410
00:32:37.960 --> 00:32:40.440
I don't. I don't know what's
gonna happen, and it would be it

411
00:32:40.519 --> 00:32:45.039
would be a track, should said
track, but it would be an interesting

412
00:32:45.039 --> 00:32:49.160
into the season. If we lose
to the Lakers without Lebron, that would

413
00:32:49.200 --> 00:32:51.480
just be something else. But I
don't. I don't, like you said,

414
00:32:51.480 --> 00:32:54.359
auld doesn't pass nothing anymore. So
it's disappointed, man, It's really

415
00:32:54.400 --> 00:33:00.039
disappointed because I don't see I definitely
don't. I just don't see it.

416
00:33:00.079 --> 00:33:02.359
Man. I think that there's there's
gonna be some there's got to be a

417
00:33:02.400 --> 00:33:07.000
shakeup. There's gotta be some sort
of shakeup because you can't take two aging

418
00:33:07.279 --> 00:33:14.279
all stars like Kawai and PG into
the future. And we haven't it hasn't

419
00:33:14.279 --> 00:33:20.400
worked to this point so far,
and they're not getting younger, and you

420
00:33:20.440 --> 00:33:22.839
know, like I said, it's
gonna be interesting. See, I don't

421
00:33:22.839 --> 00:33:23.920
know, all right, Letty,
I appreciate the phone call. Hey,

422
00:33:23.920 --> 00:33:31.759
there's seven games left. This team's
good enough talent wise to go six and

423
00:33:31.799 --> 00:33:37.359
one, to go five and two, to put themselves in a very good

424
00:33:37.400 --> 00:33:39.880
position in the playoff and not the
play in. They're still good enough.

425
00:33:42.720 --> 00:33:46.319
As long as Kauai is able to
return from the facial contusion. We don't

426
00:33:46.319 --> 00:33:53.000
know. Maybe we'll see masks Kawai
again. I'm hoping he's okay. But

427
00:33:53.119 --> 00:33:59.079
they have enough talent even without Paul
George. The guys playing up to their

428
00:33:59.119 --> 00:34:07.320
skill level, not consistently had moments
certain players have, but sense of urgency,

429
00:34:08.199 --> 00:34:12.039
you know, it's almost tired at
this point to even bring that up

430
00:34:12.599 --> 00:34:19.239
or beyond that critical mass and def
Con one. There's seven games left in

431
00:34:19.239 --> 00:34:23.719
the season and they got two coming
up against Memphis. They got a game

432
00:34:23.760 --> 00:34:27.679
against the Lakers. As I mentioned, Chicago's playing much better. They'll see

433
00:34:27.679 --> 00:34:30.719
them Monday night Phoenix Suns, the
last game of the season. We'll see

434
00:34:30.719 --> 00:34:35.000
how consequential that is. Who could
be playing in that ball game. So

435
00:34:35.119 --> 00:34:40.840
it's not easy. But this team
has put it together and has over the

436
00:34:40.880 --> 00:34:44.880
years played their best when their backs
were against the wall. That's what makes

437
00:34:44.880 --> 00:34:46.440
a night very disappointed though. So
it wasn't a back to back, This

438
00:34:46.599 --> 00:34:52.159
wasn't an early afternoon game. They
had a day off and it looked like

439
00:34:52.199 --> 00:34:55.719
they'd be able to ride some of
that momentum they had with one of the

440
00:34:55.719 --> 00:35:00.119
best second halfs of the season against
the Thunder Thursday night into this one.

441
00:35:00.760 --> 00:35:08.199
No d OA. They didn't have
it down eight oh quick. This Clippers

442
00:35:08.239 --> 00:35:13.800
team has had a propensity to get
off the slow starts. The problem is

443
00:35:15.000 --> 00:35:19.360
they used to always come back on
teams always. There's been less of those

444
00:35:19.440 --> 00:35:24.679
recently this season. That was their
gritty identity, never out of a ball

445
00:35:24.719 --> 00:35:30.599
game. More times teams have come
back on them this season. That's concerning.

446
00:35:31.039 --> 00:35:35.119
All right, Let's hear from their
leader in coach Loup post game they

447
00:35:35.159 --> 00:35:38.639
lose one thirty one to one ten
to the New Orleans Pelicans. Here was

448
00:35:38.679 --> 00:35:43.119
Coach Lou post game on Ballet Sports. Coach, is there any update on

449
00:35:43.320 --> 00:35:49.920
Kauai after he left the game in
the third quarter? No update? Defensively,

450
00:35:50.840 --> 00:35:54.280
D'Angelo was able, or Brandan Ingram
was able to kind of get to

451
00:35:54.320 --> 00:36:00.760
his spots. Trey Murphy was had
a career night from deep adjustment. Did

452
00:36:00.800 --> 00:36:07.519
you have to see defensively that you
didn't that I wanted to see that I

453
00:36:07.559 --> 00:36:12.559
didn't. Yeah, I don't know
what that means. But from a standpoint,

454
00:36:12.559 --> 00:36:15.280
and just I thought to start the
game, they were faster than us.

455
00:36:15.480 --> 00:36:19.480
They got out in transition, they
created mismatches in transition because the way

456
00:36:19.480 --> 00:36:22.519
they pushed it, we weren't able
to get back and get matched. And

457
00:36:22.840 --> 00:36:24.119
like I said, Ingram came out
and got to a spots early in the

458
00:36:24.119 --> 00:36:28.400
game. Then we tried to double
team in fire, which opened up Murphy

459
00:36:28.400 --> 00:36:30.000
to get threes, and so you
just kind of picked your poison. But

460
00:36:30.400 --> 00:36:34.079
I thought they really came out to
attack us tonight, and they did that.

461
00:36:34.519 --> 00:36:37.679
And then on the Offensylviania. You
know, twenty turnovers for twenty eight

462
00:36:37.760 --> 00:36:39.760
points, there's too many, especially
for a fast team like this. You

463
00:36:39.800 --> 00:36:44.239
can't get them a live all turnovers
and expected to get back and get get

464
00:36:44.280 --> 00:36:46.960
match in transition. So I was
a tough game for us tonight. You

465
00:36:47.000 --> 00:36:52.679
know, they played well. Hats
off to him and coach obviously quite struggle

466
00:36:52.719 --> 00:36:58.159
to nine four for sixteen and not
with no PG more four. Moving with

467
00:36:58.199 --> 00:37:00.079
these last eight or nine games left, how do you guys gonna be able

468
00:37:00.119 --> 00:37:05.719
to generate points? If Kawai struggles
like what he did tonight, it's gonna

469
00:37:05.760 --> 00:37:07.159
happen. You know, it's as
part of the game. I think,

470
00:37:07.599 --> 00:37:12.199
just continue to get to our next
actions. Don't like we get staggered at

471
00:37:12.239 --> 00:37:14.960
the times, like I said,
trying to look for Kauai and when he

472
00:37:14.960 --> 00:37:16.880
doesn't have it going. We gotta
continue to run our offense. And we've

473
00:37:16.880 --> 00:37:20.360
been doing a pretty good job but
that since January first. But tonight was

474
00:37:20.400 --> 00:37:22.800
one of those night. I mean, we shot fifty two percent and forty

475
00:37:22.800 --> 00:37:24.679
five from three, but it still
didn't look good. It was a it

476
00:37:24.719 --> 00:37:29.679
was a nasty flow to the game. And so that happens. So back

477
00:37:29.719 --> 00:37:31.800
to the drawing board and like I
said, stains that we can clean up,

478
00:37:31.840 --> 00:37:35.199
you know, taking care of the
basketball. I think, you know,

479
00:37:35.239 --> 00:37:37.760
getting back in transition defensively and understanding
what we're doing, you know,

480
00:37:37.840 --> 00:37:42.239
defensively and Snaps is a tough night
when both of them are off and you

481
00:37:42.280 --> 00:37:44.480
know, you kind of play against
a team is pretty good and you struggle

482
00:37:45.719 --> 00:37:49.679
tyed. Do you see any parallels
between the slower start from the starters tonight

483
00:37:49.800 --> 00:37:53.599
and Nick until Cloma City on Thursday, this revamped starting line up. Yeah,

484
00:37:53.639 --> 00:37:55.760
I mean it's it's it's been tough, you know, I think starting

485
00:37:55.800 --> 00:37:59.679
the starting games, it's it's tough
to dig yourself a hole and try to

486
00:38:00.000 --> 00:38:01.719
I'm out every single night, and
so we gotta be better, like you

487
00:38:01.760 --> 00:38:06.480
said, starting games and having that
mindset like we did in the last okay

488
00:38:06.519 --> 00:38:09.559
see game, you know, just
after that first you know, six seven

489
00:38:09.559 --> 00:38:14.679
minutes of just having a physicality on
the defensive end, I think hitting bodies,

490
00:38:14.960 --> 00:38:16.320
I think offensively, learning how we
want to attack, getting too the

491
00:38:16.320 --> 00:38:20.039
paint, making the right play,
And tonight we just didn't have a lot

492
00:38:20.039 --> 00:38:23.199
of juice and a lot of pop. So nothing to get the scarage about.

493
00:38:23.239 --> 00:38:27.880
We just gotta be a little better
to what did what did you see

494
00:38:28.639 --> 00:38:32.480
until that? Uh, the second
unit the way it's constructed now it's gotten

495
00:38:32.519 --> 00:38:35.960
in, Like, what did you
see with them compared to the last game.

496
00:38:36.960 --> 00:38:39.519
No, I think just the pace. I think, you know,

497
00:38:40.000 --> 00:38:43.320
bones struggle a little bit the first
time he came in, you know,

498
00:38:43.360 --> 00:38:45.559
the missed a couple of shots,
had a couple turnovers early. But I

499
00:38:45.679 --> 00:38:51.679
liked that unit and what they give
us TV and Niko bones and and you

500
00:38:51.719 --> 00:38:52.880
know, Mace and then Russ comes
back to that group. I think it

501
00:38:52.880 --> 00:38:58.360
makes us faster. We got a
good pace share the basketball, and so

502
00:38:58.400 --> 00:39:00.760
we can create different things. I
think defend be too, and so tonight

503
00:39:00.800 --> 00:39:04.920
we just to have it, you
know, either side. And so it's

504
00:39:05.000 --> 00:39:07.039
nice like that. So now we
got to move on and get ready for

505
00:39:07.039 --> 00:39:10.480
Monday. There was coach Slew after
the Clippers one thirty one to one ten

506
00:39:12.519 --> 00:39:15.559
loss here at home to the New
Orleans Pelicans. Part of the problem is

507
00:39:15.559 --> 00:39:19.280
you get down early with your starters, who are supposed to set that tone

508
00:39:19.320 --> 00:39:24.000
defensively, who are supposed to have
a defensive mindset. The amount of times

509
00:39:24.000 --> 00:39:30.039
they've come out in games and played
with that and have done that for forty

510
00:39:30.079 --> 00:39:32.480
eight minutes. Look, I can't
think of any of this season. The

511
00:39:32.519 --> 00:39:38.920
Boston game comes to mind. You
look at that game Tuesday night against Okay.

512
00:39:38.960 --> 00:39:43.920
See the first five minutes they were
fantastic. They were up eighteen to

513
00:39:44.000 --> 00:39:49.039
four. It's because they were swarming
defensively. Guys were talking covering for each

514
00:39:49.079 --> 00:39:54.840
other and bringing the physicality Coach was
are asking for it. You can only

515
00:39:54.920 --> 00:40:00.440
do so much there. Guys got
to execute. But then the problem is

516
00:40:00.480 --> 00:40:05.639
you get down and you have to
put in players that are good offensively,

517
00:40:06.599 --> 00:40:09.119
but maybe the defense isn't there Forte, So there's a trade off there.

518
00:40:09.599 --> 00:40:13.679
Bones Thiland obviously not know is a
great defender. They need him though,

519
00:40:14.599 --> 00:40:20.039
they need his pace, they need
his shooting, is relentless attacking of the

520
00:40:20.039 --> 00:40:25.440
basket. Russ He's an okay defender
at times. He can at times lock

521
00:40:25.519 --> 00:40:31.440
a guy up too, but they
need what he brings on offense. So

522
00:40:31.559 --> 00:40:37.320
you get down and you're trying to
get back into it with offensive minded guys

523
00:40:37.360 --> 00:40:40.639
that aren't great defenders. Well,
the clumpers are down by his many's twenty

524
00:40:40.679 --> 00:40:43.800
five in this one. I don't
know any other way to put it.

525
00:40:43.719 --> 00:40:51.880
It happens, but there's seven games
loot and either they're gonna figure things out

526
00:40:52.320 --> 00:40:57.760
right now and all these games are
playoff games down the stretch. Basically,

527
00:40:59.519 --> 00:41:04.280
are they be in trouble and you're
go on a losing street to end the

528
00:41:04.320 --> 00:41:07.920
season, you can end up out
of the postseason right now in the West,

529
00:41:08.239 --> 00:41:13.719
So yeah, big game Monday night. Clippers bulls in that one.

530
00:41:13.800 --> 00:41:17.440
And defensively, the Clippers have to
show up defense. Last three games only

531
00:41:17.480 --> 00:41:22.679
give up one hundred and two points
forty three percent shooting twenty seven percent from

532
00:41:22.679 --> 00:41:25.639
the outside. They were much better, I said, at five of the

533
00:41:25.719 --> 00:41:30.559
last seven games before this one they
had given up one oh five or less.

534
00:41:31.559 --> 00:41:37.400
No excuse for coming out this flat
tonight, but it happened. Clippers

535
00:41:37.480 --> 00:41:39.800
take the loss, and they dropped
to the five spot as Phoenix won earlier

536
00:41:40.719 --> 00:41:44.119
in the West. Coming up back
to your phone calls. Eight six six

537
00:41:44.239 --> 00:41:47.559
ninety seven two five seventy eight six
six ninety seven two five seventy is the

538
00:41:47.639 --> 00:41:54.800
phone number. Pellin Cans tie up
franchise mark with twenty one main three pointers.

539
00:41:55.199 --> 00:42:00.039
Third time they've done it. They
went nine of eleven in the first

540
00:42:00.119 --> 00:42:07.519
quarter. Clippers gave up far too
many open shots, and by the time

541
00:42:07.519 --> 00:42:10.239
they started defending some of them,
it was too late. Pelicans were in

542
00:42:10.320 --> 00:42:14.400
rhythm. More Clipper stock next year. On m five seventy, LA Sports,

543
00:42:14.760 --> 00:42:19.000
George and Leonard running. You're listening
to La Clippers basketball, but I'm

544
00:42:19.039 --> 00:42:22.480
top Clippers to down plus the foul
every game of all season long. On

545
00:42:22.599 --> 00:42:27.880
their official home Clippers lose one thirty
one to one ten to the New Orleans

546
00:42:27.880 --> 00:42:30.000
Pelicans. Here from Crypto dot Com
arena. I'm Adam Oslin, and this

547
00:42:30.119 --> 00:42:35.559
is Clippers Talk. Eight sixty six
nine eight seven two five seventy. Eight

548
00:42:35.599 --> 00:42:42.000
sixty six nine eight seven two five
seventy is the phone number. Pelicans had

549
00:42:42.000 --> 00:42:49.880
thirty seven points in the first quarter. Clippers couldn't hold them under thirty every

550
00:42:49.960 --> 00:42:52.519
quarter they had at least thirty one. Finished the fourth quarter with thirty two.

551
00:42:54.039 --> 00:43:00.719
Clippers really just never had their defense
set up, and we're getting exposed

552
00:43:00.760 --> 00:43:04.639
on that end too many times.
Guys are getting beat off the dribble,

553
00:43:05.679 --> 00:43:12.559
leading to a lot of open threes. It's not one guy, they just

554
00:43:12.559 --> 00:43:16.880
weren't connected, not exactly five guys
on a string out there. Tonight one

555
00:43:16.880 --> 00:43:21.000
of the worst defensive performances of the
season, when it looked like they were

556
00:43:21.039 --> 00:43:25.079
starting to turn a corner there.
But we've seen this stuff come and go,

557
00:43:28.760 --> 00:43:31.840
and that's why I talk about the
consistency of this team in the lack

558
00:43:31.920 --> 00:43:37.000
there of Cameron. In La Cameron, You're on Clipper Stipe without Amassol.

559
00:43:37.039 --> 00:43:40.880
What's up, hey, Adam thank
you for taking my car. I've been

560
00:43:42.360 --> 00:43:45.920
going a game since I was twelve, almost twenty years. It's the first

561
00:43:45.920 --> 00:43:49.639
time I'm calling in. But I
just, you know, felt compelled to

562
00:43:49.719 --> 00:43:53.159
call tonight just listening to everything you
were saying. You're always great, just

563
00:43:53.280 --> 00:44:00.320
driving on from the games, but
I just really was frustrated tonight with the

564
00:44:00.440 --> 00:44:05.079
number one the effort, and you
know, I think the just a pattern

565
00:44:05.119 --> 00:44:10.480
of resting players throughout the year.
I get it early on really being cautious

566
00:44:10.480 --> 00:44:15.239
about bringing our you know, our
guys back, but I don't think that

567
00:44:15.320 --> 00:44:17.360
you know, was handled well.
And the inconsistency and a lot of what

568
00:44:17.400 --> 00:44:22.920
we're seeing now I think are you
know, effects from just the way the

569
00:44:22.039 --> 00:44:29.559
rotations and the extra extra precautions kind
of were handled. And and that's just

570
00:44:29.679 --> 00:44:32.079
kind of why the Clippers, I
believe, are in the position that they're

571
00:44:32.119 --> 00:44:35.280
in. I mean, they could
have a little bit more wiggle room.

572
00:44:35.320 --> 00:44:38.880
I get at the West is totally
tight, but you know, really not

573
00:44:39.320 --> 00:44:44.000
getting that chemistry, not knowing who's
gonna play every night, the guys just

574
00:44:44.000 --> 00:44:46.519
don't seem cohesive. Ty Lewis,
you know, doesn't know what he's gonna

575
00:44:46.519 --> 00:44:49.880
do. He has that pink card
that he has to rely on that.

576
00:44:49.960 --> 00:44:52.800
You know, he says he doesn't
know what you know each night, what

577
00:44:52.880 --> 00:44:54.880
he's got. So I just think
the way that they handled it, you

578
00:44:54.880 --> 00:44:59.559
know, once January hit a little
bit before the All Star break, I

579
00:44:59.679 --> 00:45:04.480
was hold been to see things red
up, missed back to backs. But

580
00:45:04.599 --> 00:45:09.280
outside of that, he's been playing
a ton in twenty twenty three, and

581
00:45:09.480 --> 00:45:15.800
I can't criticize the way they've handled
Kawhi Leonard with how good he's been out

582
00:45:15.840 --> 00:45:20.440
there. The guy's been to him
near fifty fifty ninety for three months,

583
00:45:21.119 --> 00:45:27.199
he's been on another level. Whatever, he's been great, he's been great.

584
00:45:27.360 --> 00:45:30.920
I'm saying the cohesiveness with the other
guys, they seem like they don't

585
00:45:30.960 --> 00:45:35.559
know what to do when they're out
there with him because he's not him.

586
00:45:35.719 --> 00:45:39.639
He's keeping them alive. It's just
I think the other guys are having difficulty,

587
00:45:42.239 --> 00:45:45.440
you know, sitting in the rotations
when he's out there. Sometimes they

588
00:45:45.519 --> 00:45:49.360
kind of just defer to him a
little bit too much and he has to

589
00:45:49.360 --> 00:45:52.199
take over. But nothing, no, not against him at all. I'm

590
00:45:52.199 --> 00:45:55.119
saying the way the team has handled
it has affected the other guys, not

591
00:45:55.199 --> 00:45:59.360
the guys who've been sitting out,
they've been great when they played well.

592
00:45:59.400 --> 00:46:04.599
I just think the lack of chemistries
due to that. Typically guys have fitting

593
00:46:04.800 --> 00:46:07.079
very well around Kauai. I mean, he was in Toronto for one season

594
00:46:07.360 --> 00:46:12.559
and it just worked. It hasn't
been a long learning curve. And you

595
00:46:12.599 --> 00:46:15.960
know, when he and Paul George
are out there, I want to say

596
00:46:15.000 --> 00:46:20.639
they're winning percentages around seven hundred.
When they've been healthy, they've been great.

597
00:46:20.880 --> 00:46:25.599
There haven't been that many continuity chemistry
issues. When they are healthy,

598
00:46:25.639 --> 00:46:30.440
they seem to figure it out pretty
quickly. You would love to see them

599
00:46:30.480 --> 00:46:32.559
out there on the court more.
They've been unlucky with injuries. There's no

600
00:46:32.639 --> 00:46:37.159
doubt about it. And I appreciate
the phone call, Cameron. Let's go

601
00:46:37.239 --> 00:46:42.320
to Mark in Santa Barbara. Mark, you're on Clippers stop without Amassin Dah

602
00:46:42.679 --> 00:46:49.440
Mark gone. You know. And
I'm not trying to be overly critical tonight

603
00:46:49.639 --> 00:46:54.119
on a game like this where the
Clippers lose it by twenty one and certainly

604
00:46:54.159 --> 00:46:59.920
don't have their best effort on the
defensive end. And I'm not trying to

605
00:47:00.079 --> 00:47:04.079
make some long reaching conclusions about this
team over one game, because this is

606
00:47:04.079 --> 00:47:08.079
stuff I've been telling you about all
season long, and I can't avoid it

607
00:47:08.119 --> 00:47:15.360
when it continues to happen. And
the reason if it's sounding more negative is

608
00:47:15.400 --> 00:47:20.360
because there's seven games left. They're
in a precarious position, and standings wise,

609
00:47:20.760 --> 00:47:22.960
every game is so critical. This
was a big loss tonight, and

610
00:47:23.000 --> 00:47:25.480
the way they lost is how they've
lost a lot of games this season.

611
00:47:27.920 --> 00:47:31.199
And I'm just not gonna sit here
and tell you otherwise that everything's fine when

612
00:47:31.199 --> 00:47:37.159
it's not with this Clippers team,
because then if they don't get to the

613
00:47:37.159 --> 00:47:39.760
problems land by the end of the
season, you know, I'm not gonna

614
00:47:39.760 --> 00:47:42.519
sit there and be like, I
don't know what happened. I don't know,

615
00:47:42.559 --> 00:47:45.280
I don't know. No, I
tried to chronicle this along the way.

616
00:47:46.360 --> 00:47:50.000
Can this team flip a switch?
Do they have the talent to win

617
00:47:50.079 --> 00:47:53.639
at all? Of course they do
win healthy, if they can stay healthy,

618
00:47:53.880 --> 00:48:00.320
if they can put the guys in
the best position to succeed. But

619
00:48:00.519 --> 00:48:07.639
that last caller talking about continuity,
well it's not on Russ. But they

620
00:48:07.679 --> 00:48:09.880
brought in a guy who's playing thirty
minutes a night with twenty one games left.

621
00:48:12.599 --> 00:48:15.079
Any guy who all of a sudden
is in your starting lineup with twenty

622
00:48:15.119 --> 00:48:20.039
one games left, that becomes that
critical to the team. There's gonna be

623
00:48:20.079 --> 00:48:22.199
a learning curve, and I think
for the most part, Russ has played

624
00:48:22.239 --> 00:48:28.960
well as a Clipper. But I
understand I'm getting a lot of all.

625
00:48:29.000 --> 00:48:31.199
They up ended their roster. They
had a good thing going before the All

626
00:48:31.280 --> 00:48:36.920
Star break, like they were ten
and four the last fourteen games or whatever

627
00:48:36.960 --> 00:48:39.000
it was. I've looked back at
some of those games and there were some

628
00:48:39.000 --> 00:48:45.119
of the same problems that they have
now. Not closing well enough, not

629
00:48:45.320 --> 00:48:50.599
consistently bringing the same defensive mindset for
forty eight minutes. You just don't know

630
00:48:50.639 --> 00:48:54.719
what you're getting quarter to quarter,
possession to possession with this team. It's

631
00:48:54.719 --> 00:49:00.639
been baffling at times because they do
have so many vets, because they have

632
00:49:00.679 --> 00:49:02.159
guys that have been there to see
a possession like we saw at the end

633
00:49:02.199 --> 00:49:07.719
of the game with Kauai and Marcus
Morris and that miscommunication on Tuesday night perplexing.

634
00:49:09.360 --> 00:49:15.679
Would never have expected that, but
they bounced back from that. Today

635
00:49:15.760 --> 00:49:19.039
they suffer a tough one. They
gotta bounce back again on Monday. This

636
00:49:19.079 --> 00:49:22.719
team has been resilient in the two
one three era. You have to say

637
00:49:22.760 --> 00:49:27.800
that. You gotta admit that when
the Chips are down, they seem to

638
00:49:27.840 --> 00:49:32.639
be at their best. We're hoping
for more of that to come. Eight

639
00:49:32.679 --> 00:49:36.880
six six Night seven two five seventy
will take a quick time out here.

640
00:49:37.239 --> 00:49:42.800
Clippers lose one thirty one to one
to the New Orleans Pelicans here at Crypto

641
00:49:42.920 --> 00:49:46.960
dot com arena. I'm out of
Oslin listening to the Clippers stock here on

642
00:49:47.199 --> 00:49:53.280
five seventy sports. Who was blocked
by George La Clippers basketball? He is

643
00:49:53.320 --> 00:49:58.800
a one man record the defensive end
on the home of your La. Clippers

644
00:50:00.039 --> 00:50:02.880
has got to find defensive flow if
they lose one thirty one to one ten

645
00:50:04.280 --> 00:50:08.400
here at home to the Pelicans.
They just had it over the last week.

646
00:50:09.000 --> 00:50:17.000
They were playing much better. The
practices help them. The communication the

647
00:50:17.400 --> 00:50:22.920
five guys on a string that we
saw somehow went by the wayside tonight to

648
00:50:22.960 --> 00:50:27.119
the Pelicans as they give up twenty
one main three pointers that ties a franchise

649
00:50:27.199 --> 00:50:31.119
record for New Orleans and they win
this ball game by twenty one points.

650
00:50:31.920 --> 00:50:36.920
Let's go to before we get out
of here, we got Greg and Newport

651
00:50:36.960 --> 00:50:38.519
Beach, Greg Yaren Cliver, stop
with that. I'm awesome, Greg,

652
00:50:38.559 --> 00:50:45.920
what's good? Come on, Greg, come on, Greg? Do me

653
00:50:46.039 --> 00:50:50.360
like this? Man. I just
check with the producer. She said you

654
00:50:50.400 --> 00:50:53.159
were there and ready. You know
what, Greg? Hey, what's up?

655
00:50:53.239 --> 00:50:58.039
Man? Adam? Listen? Listen, broday you hear me? I

656
00:50:58.079 --> 00:51:00.360
can hear you. They parted you
up now? All right? All right,

657
00:51:00.079 --> 00:51:02.400
I'm not on my phone. It's
somebody else's phone. But anyway,

658
00:51:02.400 --> 00:51:06.079
man, listen. I was at
the game to night. Man, I

659
00:51:06.079 --> 00:51:07.480
don't know what's going on. Bro. It's like, like you said,

660
00:51:07.519 --> 00:51:13.159
we were playing good for the last
couple of weeks. We hit that spot

661
00:51:13.199 --> 00:51:17.360
against Okay see on Tuesday night.
Then we bounced back and looked day behind

662
00:51:17.440 --> 00:51:22.880
on Thursday night. Then we talk
about tonight and Luis looked, you know,

663
00:51:22.039 --> 00:51:28.639
all discombobulated. Does this is not
exemplified Clippers basketball the twenty two twenty

664
00:51:28.679 --> 00:51:30.559
three season though. Up and down. That's where it's been all year.

665
00:51:32.400 --> 00:51:36.119
It is, Adam, But you
know what, man, to me tonight,

666
00:51:36.519 --> 00:51:39.920
it seemed like why in the first
half was just trying to do too

667
00:51:40.000 --> 00:51:43.519
much, man, and he just
didn't have it tonight. Man, in

668
00:51:43.559 --> 00:51:45.760
the first half, he couldn't buy
a shot. He's dribbling too much.

669
00:51:46.519 --> 00:51:51.880
Had the ball in his head too
much and the defense was given up all

670
00:51:51.960 --> 00:51:54.079
the three. Greg, I think
Kawhi knew if he doesn't get it going,

671
00:51:54.519 --> 00:51:59.320
they're losing this game. He's got
to find a heater or they're losing

672
00:51:59.360 --> 00:52:02.000
this game. And it was understandable
for him to have a down game after

673
00:52:02.039 --> 00:52:07.159
going thirteen or fifteen Thursday fifteen.
Man, my man missed two shots only

674
00:52:07.519 --> 00:52:12.280
it's crazy night. Man, Hey, Chicago, that's gonna be a tough

675
00:52:12.320 --> 00:52:15.079
game on Monday. Man, that's
not no gimme no. I've seen Zach

676
00:52:15.239 --> 00:52:20.440
Lavine put up forty five in this
building before against the Clippers. It's gonna

677
00:52:20.440 --> 00:52:22.880
be a good one. I appreciate
the phone call. Hope to see you

678
00:52:22.960 --> 00:52:27.880
here, Greg, Mike and Breya
Mike hearing Clippers stope without I'm Awsolin.

679
00:52:29.039 --> 00:52:32.480
How you doing that, Adam?
I'm Mike, very very discouraging night.

680
00:52:32.559 --> 00:52:44.239
Again. I just watched ty Lou
and he just looks defleted, defeated,

681
00:52:44.360 --> 00:52:49.079
you know, I mean he's deflated
and defeated. I heard both that.

682
00:52:50.480 --> 00:52:53.440
Yeah, like the coach, Lou
bounces back. I'm not worried about it.

683
00:52:53.440 --> 00:52:57.360
It's a bad loss. Coach was
gonna have a game plan set for

684
00:52:57.400 --> 00:53:02.159
Monday night, So you think there's
anything to these rumors about him leaving,

685
00:53:05.360 --> 00:53:08.239
Mike. I saw who the rumor
was from on Twitter. It wasn't Chris

686
00:53:08.239 --> 00:53:14.159
Haynes, it wasn't Adrian Ward Snarowski, it wasn't one of the big hitters,

687
00:53:14.440 --> 00:53:19.280
it wasn't Sham Sharania. I'm not
thinking about that. I'm not putting

688
00:53:19.360 --> 00:53:22.840
much into that. There's seven games
left. We're talking about Monday night.

689
00:53:24.840 --> 00:53:31.239
But I appreciate the phone called Mike. I will say this, Look,

690
00:53:31.320 --> 00:53:37.440
I gotta tell you the truth.
Clipper Nation and seeing that Marcus Morris Senior

691
00:53:37.519 --> 00:53:44.039
had to disable his Instagram comments,
I don't like that. I know he's

692
00:53:44.039 --> 00:53:49.679
been taken incoming, but you guys
are better than that. You're above that.

693
00:53:50.920 --> 00:53:54.280
I know he hasn't played well.
Help a guy get out of a

694
00:53:54.320 --> 00:54:01.480
slump by cheering him on so he
can get his confidence back. But I

695
00:54:01.480 --> 00:54:06.719
don't like seeing that he had to
disable his Instagram comments because I'm guessing it's

696
00:54:06.800 --> 00:54:12.639
just a cess pool of negativity right
there, right now there, So Clipper

697
00:54:12.719 --> 00:54:19.480
Nation try to be above it.
Someone who's always above it, big brother

698
00:54:20.159 --> 00:54:25.519
Jake Warner. Positive moments with the
fake philosopher. Philosophers are segment, Big

699
00:54:25.519 --> 00:54:30.119
Bro aw we doing. We're good
over here. Despite what happened tonight.

700
00:54:30.960 --> 00:54:35.159
I gotta keep everybody focused, Okay, please do all right. Well,

701
00:54:35.800 --> 00:54:40.400
every story has an end, but
in life, every ending is just a

702
00:54:40.440 --> 00:54:45.440
new beginning. Okay, Well this
game ended tonight, new beginning Monday night.

703
00:54:45.559 --> 00:54:51.159
See you already see where I'm going
to wash rents and not repeat,

704
00:54:50.480 --> 00:54:55.320
not exactly. Tomorrow is a new
day. Monday night is a new day.

705
00:54:55.320 --> 00:55:00.280
And we've seen this Clippers team time
and time again play their best basketball.

706
00:55:00.559 --> 00:55:04.400
When their backstor against the wall,
they come out swinging. That's what

707
00:55:04.440 --> 00:55:07.079
we're hoping to see against the Chicago
Bulls on Monday. Thank you, Big

708
00:55:07.119 --> 00:55:15.719
Bro. Wise words as always anytime, anytime, Clibernation appreciates you. Tip

709
00:55:15.719 --> 00:55:19.360
time Monday Night is at seven thirty. We'll have Clippers count down four.

710
00:55:19.360 --> 00:55:21.480

get out of here. I do want

714
00:55:37.519 --> 00:55:44.320

spend some knowledge. Thanks to Kay Newton,
