1
00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:04.480
The game is over. Paul George
money in the pain, but the postgame

2
00:00:04.559 --> 00:00:10.000
reaction has just begot Kawhi Leonard is
so smooth in the mid range. This

3
00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:14.080
is Clippers locker Room, a recap
of today's game and a look ahead on

4
00:00:14.199 --> 00:00:19.000
your hope for LA Clippers basketball.
And now your host, you, sir,

5
00:00:19.199 --> 00:00:25.079
are a bad man, Adam Ousley. Clippers lose a heartbreaker late in

6
00:00:25.079 --> 00:00:29.199
Milwaukee. They fall one oh six
to one oh five to fifty four points

7
00:00:29.239 --> 00:00:34.039
from Janasadna Kompo in the Milwaukee Bucks. Welcome in your post game show coming

8
00:00:34.119 --> 00:00:36.640
up, we'll get a second half
highlights. We'll get to your postgame box

9
00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:38.960
score. You'll hear from the head
coach in Toronto lou and the players.

10
00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:43.079
But first back out to Milwaukee and
back to your voice of the Clippers in

11
00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:46.479
Noah Eagle. So no, yeah, the Clippers don't score the last three

12
00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:50.799
fifty one of the ball game.
Kawai and Paul George go over eight down

13
00:00:50.799 --> 00:00:53.719
the stretch, and after leading by
twenty one in that third quarter, they

14
00:00:53.799 --> 00:00:57.119
just kind of unraveled in that fourth. Yeah. No, this game to

15
00:00:57.159 --> 00:00:59.359
me was lost in the third quarter
though, Adam, and you heard me

16
00:00:59.399 --> 00:01:02.280
say it when it happened. You
cannot close that quarter like that. You

17
00:01:02.359 --> 00:01:04.200
had all the momentum in your favor, you had a twenty one point lead.

18
00:01:04.519 --> 00:01:07.560
You have to keep the foot on
the gas. And this is the

19
00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:10.760
problem and has been the problem with
his team now for the last couple of

20
00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:12.680
years. They struggled to close quarters
on a high note. Whether they're from

21
00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:15.799
coming from behind, trying to get
back, or the other way around,

22
00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:19.799
it just always seems like it unravels
for them. They almost just lose that

23
00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:23.400
concentration for a split second, and
when you look up and blink, you

24
00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:26.400
say, what happened here? And
I just think that, you know,

25
00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:30.359
Kawhi Leonard had been playing so well, this was a tough night form.

26
00:01:30.359 --> 00:01:33.560
He played forty minutes. He went
seven of twenty six. However, Norman

27
00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:34.799
Powell was there to pick up the
slack. He went nine of sixteen off

28
00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:38.120
the bench thirty one minutes, twenty
six points. Paul George had sixteen.

29
00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:42.959
Marcus Morris played very well in his
return with sixteen zubots with another double double.

30
00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:46.519
The pieces were all there for them
to win this game, but the

31
00:01:46.879 --> 00:01:49.480
third quarter to me feels like where
this one was lost. And I think

32
00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:53.560
that's the lesson. And again,
we had seen progress from this team.

33
00:01:53.599 --> 00:01:57.079
And look, this is a really
good Milwaukee team that's second in the Eastern

34
00:01:57.079 --> 00:02:00.879
Conference there right on the heels of
the Boston Celtic because they've now won six

35
00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:05.359
in a row thirty five and seventeen
overalls. So it's not necessarily a bad

36
00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:07.520
thing. You lost to this team. That's not you know, you can

37
00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:10.560
lose to a really good team.
That happens, it's how it happened.

38
00:02:10.840 --> 00:02:16.400
It's the deja vu feeling. It's
not learning from those mistakes throughout the year.

39
00:02:16.479 --> 00:02:19.840
It's all the little things that added
up for the Clippers. And then,

40
00:02:20.479 --> 00:02:23.199
you know, I think that the
lack of size really showed, especially

41
00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:27.439
when Zoobots fouled out. I mean, Jannis had twenty of the twenty eight

42
00:02:27.479 --> 00:02:30.560
points from Milwaukee in the fourth quarter
at fifty four nineteen. I mean,

43
00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:32.240
what are you supposed to do with
that if you don't have the size to

44
00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:37.120
counteract it. He was unbelievable,
and it just compounds things. When you're

45
00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:40.560
not hitting shots, you can't set
your defense and Jannie is just diving down

46
00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:45.439
the lane and causing havoc. It's
crazy, exactly, and that the recipe

47
00:02:45.479 --> 00:02:49.639
for success with this Milwaukee team is
especially live ball. They want to get

48
00:02:49.639 --> 00:02:53.159
out on live ball. They might
not be necessarily super high and fast break

49
00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:55.360
points in the NBA there twentieth,
but when they can get on the ball,

50
00:02:55.759 --> 00:03:00.759
at least without you fully set it
just it completely changes the complexion of

51
00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:04.080
the energy that they can play with. It changes what you can do defensively

52
00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:07.240
and everything in between. And the
Honest took full advantage when the Clippers went

53
00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:10.919
cold offensively. That's when he really
changed this game, in my opinion,

54
00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:15.639
and so starting the third quarter late, and then he finished it most certainly

55
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:19.520
in the fourth be Honest with fifty
four and the Clippers lose by one in

56
00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:22.960
Milwaukee to the Bucks. Final score
one oh six to one oh five in

57
00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:25.240
favor of the Bucks. Clippers.
Next ball game coming up on Saturday in

58
00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:30.039
New York against the Knicks. Tip
time for that one is at four pm.

59
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:34.000
We'll have Clippers countdown for you starting
at three no eagle. My friend,

60
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:36.560
great call. As always, safe
travels. We will talk to you

61
00:03:36.599 --> 00:03:39.000
on Saturday, Adam. I appreciate
you. Back home. Can we can

62
00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:45.199
we get ditty in the building.
I'm coming home, can't wait all right,

63
00:03:45.560 --> 00:03:49.560
Clippers lose by one in Milwaukee.
We'll break it down with second half

64
00:03:49.639 --> 00:04:02.400
highlights from Noah Eagle next right here
on the Los Angeles Clippers radio Shade Baby

65
00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:11.599
kind of Oh weak? Did week
did to kick Dick? I'm not shot

66
00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:15.839
the wax. Clippers lose by one
in Milwaukee and loses twenty one point lead

67
00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:23.240
to Jannasdenakopo and the Bucks as the
Greek Freak finished with fifty four and would

68
00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:28.279
finish off the Clippers doing all the
scoring late for the Milwaukee Bucks. Tough

69
00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:31.720
one Clipper Nation, I get it
coming up. We will have Clippers stock

72
00:04:41.399 --> 00:04:45.199

pause ten seconds for station identification here in

73
00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:50.680
Los Angeles Clippers Radio network. This

Los Angeles, ninety eight seven KYSR
HD two Los Angeles and iHeart Radio station.

75
00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:01.600
Clippers had a fifteen point lead in
the first quarter, but by the

76
00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:06.240
half they were just up by seven. In the third, though, in

77
00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:11.680
his return. Marcus Morris had himself
a game all right wing. Three is

78
00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:15.279
right down the middle. It's Marcus
Morris with his second three of the night

79
00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:18.600
and the Clippers go back up by
double digits just thirty seconds into the second.

80
00:05:18.759 --> 00:05:21.759
It's fifty nine forty nine. Leaves
it more so on the left,

81
00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:27.800
double pump, big one dribble pull
up floaterer. It's good Marcus Morris.

82
00:05:27.800 --> 00:05:31.360
Sandwich between the fenders has fourteen.
Here's Yannis driving, made a long stride

83
00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:36.199
to the remedy somehow just guides it
in over Zubox, George shut corner nearside

84
00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:41.879
one dribble pull up short, missed
it rebound, Oh, sup Box forces

85
00:05:41.920 --> 00:05:46.720
it in verfl a fits and soup
Box corraled the board and then he went

86
00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:50.480
up hide. I'll slam at home
for more. It's against Connet, facing

87
00:05:50.519 --> 00:05:54.160
up with the right hand, drives
down the left alley, spins to his

88
00:05:54.240 --> 00:06:00.399
right, fades from eight and he's
got another Marcus Morris cup boom six teen

89
00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:02.639
points. He's got nine in this
third quarter, and it's seventy nine to

90
00:06:02.759 --> 00:06:08.519
sixty three. La Marcus Morris and
a Vita Zubats doing work in that third

91
00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:13.360
quarter. Marcus had nine points.
Clippers led by as many as twenty one

92
00:06:13.519 --> 00:06:16.959
was seven minutes left in the third, but entering the fourth they were up

93
00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:21.120
by just one. Norman Powell though, and gave him a burst off the

94
00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:25.319
bench to start things off in the
period. A paw down the right alley,

95
00:06:25.439 --> 00:06:29.279
squeezing up in in off the window. Norman Powell at eighteen a bee

96
00:06:29.319 --> 00:06:31.920
line to the bucket for two,
and the Clippers lead eighty nine eighty Lobbott

97
00:06:31.959 --> 00:06:35.600
nearside corner, Powell driving middle,
get to the basket. Corkscrows today and

98
00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:42.800
with the right Norman Powell at twenty
ninety one eighty two LA ten to fifteen

99
00:06:42.839 --> 00:06:45.399
to go of the fourth, up
ahead, it goes to the left wing.

100
00:06:45.480 --> 00:06:48.879
Jackson pounce pass Powell left wing.
Three is up head good. Norman

101
00:06:49.079 --> 00:06:56.920
Powell nails another. He's got twenty
three ninety four eighty seven. Here's the

102
00:06:56.959 --> 00:07:01.240
problem. The Clippers led by six. After our Kawhi Leonard jumper from thirteen

103
00:07:01.319 --> 00:07:04.439
feet out with three fifty two left
in the fourth quarter, it was one

104
00:07:04.519 --> 00:07:09.639
oh five ninety nine Clippers. They
would end the game with just one hundred

105
00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:13.319
and five points. They went scoreless
for almost four minutes to end it.

106
00:07:13.399 --> 00:07:18.040
Meanwhile, Jannie Dennikopo took over,
hit some clutch free throws late, and

107
00:07:18.079 --> 00:07:21.879
Milwaukee Bucks would win one oh six
to one oh five, coming back down

108
00:07:21.959 --> 00:07:27.000
fifteen, coming back down twenty one
on the Clippers, and coming through with

109
00:07:27.040 --> 00:07:31.839
a victory at home. Coming up
next, we'll preview Saturday's game in New

110
00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:36.560
York against the Knicks. Clippers lose

ten House free speech play. Now, look at this. Clippers lose in

113

playing much better basketball as of late.

121
00:08:31.840 --> 00:08:35.039
They are right now, I don't
want to send in the Atlantic standings twenty

122
00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:41.240
eight and twenty five, and they've
beaten some good teams along the way.

123
00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:46.000
Jalen Brunson probably feels like he was
snubbed not being an All Star, especially

124
00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:50.039
after Charles Barkley made the case for
him. But they're coming off victories against

Jannas Denni Coupo ran his points total
up to fifty four and Milwaukee came back

139

like a jellyfish, and I'm not going

that sting. And that was the thing

from friends. It doesn't make sense, the urination thing. It's past ten

150
00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:58.120
o'clock. I can say it here, but for a Clippers team, and

151
00:10:58.200 --> 00:11:03.519
I brought it up in a tweet. Maybe I shouldn't have, but I

152
00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:07.639
brought it up on the air as
well. They couldn't let what happened in

153
00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:15.840
Philly happen again. They led that
game by twenty against the quality ball club,

154
00:11:15.879 --> 00:11:18.799
one of the top teams in the
East, with Joel Embeat on the

155
00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:22.000
floor and James Harden, and they
let it get away from them back in

156
00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:26.879
December, I think it was.
And they led this one by fifteen in

157
00:11:26.919 --> 00:11:31.759
the first quarter, and they led
by twenty one in the third, and

158
00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:35.759
they don't score in the last three
minutes and fifty one seconds, and during

159
00:11:35.799 --> 00:11:41.200
that time, Kawhi Leonard and Paul
George went oh for eight. I'm having

160
00:11:41.480 --> 00:11:46.000
some day ja vou, not just
with that Philly game and the Clippers giving

161
00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:48.240
up a big, big comeback after
playing some of their best basketball this season,

162
00:11:50.600 --> 00:11:56.600
but also from the twenty twenty one
season where midway through the Clippers weren't

163
00:11:56.679 --> 00:12:01.799
closing out ball games, and one
of the those games was against Milwaukee,

164
00:12:01.399 --> 00:12:07.039
one was against Brooklyn then when they
had James Harden, Kyrie and Kevin Durant

165
00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:11.679
and there were these issues that arose
latent games in the last five minutes of

166
00:12:11.679 --> 00:12:18.039
all games where they couldn't put teams
away. Now, if you're looking for

167
00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:20.559
a silver lining, they cleaned it
up and they were one of the best

168
00:12:20.600 --> 00:12:26.399
teams Layton games in the playoffs when
they needed big shots. Tonight, though,

169
00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:31.559
it wasn't happening, and there were
shots that missed everything from Kawai and

170
00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:37.600
Paul George late. So I understand
a little PTSD right now from Clipper Nation.

171
00:12:37.559 --> 00:12:41.159
It's a brutal way to lose,
because I thought we were going to

172
00:12:41.240 --> 00:12:48.279
see progress from a team that learned
from that mistake on the road during the

173
00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:52.840
six game losing streak against Philadelphia,
which really set them down on that path

174
00:12:52.679 --> 00:12:58.320
because that was I believe game one
all of that road trip, and I

175
00:12:58.360 --> 00:13:03.480
thought they were developing better habits.
They closed out against Atlanta when they made

176
00:13:03.480 --> 00:13:07.399
a run, they closed out against
Chicago when they did as well. But

177
00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:13.639
Milwaukee's thirty five and seventeen. Now
they're a different breed. They have championship

178
00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:22.440
pedigree. They have something the Clippers
don't, which is just that experience in

179
00:13:22.480 --> 00:13:26.679
an NBA Finals game where there were
some close contests back and forth. Remember

180
00:13:26.720 --> 00:13:31.200
they were down two Oho in that
series to the Phoenix Suns. They had

181
00:13:31.240 --> 00:13:37.000
to step up and they had that
experience there that they have pulled in and

182
00:13:37.080 --> 00:13:43.600
are still I think calling upon when
they need it most. And by experience,

183
00:13:43.639 --> 00:13:48.480
some of it is just Jannasadena Kompo
being otherworldly and one of the greatest

184
00:13:48.480 --> 00:13:54.000
basketball players in the history of the
game, who I believe scored there's one

185
00:13:54.120 --> 00:13:58.679
three point play, there's a bucket
seven. He scored the last seven points

186
00:13:58.720 --> 00:14:03.600
of the ball. Well, the
Clippers Stars were missing everything. Jannis went

187
00:14:03.679 --> 00:14:09.639
on his own seven oh run to
end things. The Clippers were up by

188
00:14:09.679 --> 00:14:15.200
six with three fifty two left.
After Kawhi made a really tough push shot.

189
00:14:15.720 --> 00:14:20.279
It was one oh five ninety nine. They would not score again almost

190
00:14:20.320 --> 00:14:26.759
four minutes or they just go over
and they had some decent looks, couldn't

191
00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:31.960
get him to go. Paul George
missed everything on a three pointer, and

192
00:14:31.039 --> 00:14:37.039
you could say, Okay, the
Clippers Stars played this bad and they still

193
00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:41.200
had a chance to win. That's
one way to look at it, because

194
00:14:41.320 --> 00:14:46.120
Kawai and Paul George just went thirteen
oh forty two from the field. That's

195
00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:50.559
thirty one percent combined, and somehow
they had a twenty point lead in this

196
00:14:50.600 --> 00:14:56.600
one, twenty one. Norman Powell
great again, twenty six off the bench,

197
00:14:56.799 --> 00:15:01.679
had a fifteen point second quarter,
but I don't believe he got a

198
00:15:01.720 --> 00:15:05.039
shot off late. It was pretty
much all Kawai and Paul George, who

199
00:15:05.080 --> 00:15:11.080
never had a consistent rhythm. They
had their moments, their spurts here and

200
00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:16.240
there, but Kawai started three of
nine and Paul George had eight points of

201
00:15:16.279 --> 00:15:20.519
the half, finished with just sixteen, took just sixteen shots. Kawhi at

202
00:15:20.559 --> 00:15:24.960
least put up twenty six but made
just seven of them, made one three

203
00:15:24.039 --> 00:15:31.240
pointer, and you can make the
argument they lost the game by not closing

204
00:15:31.279 --> 00:15:35.000
out quarters. First, they're up
by fifteen with a few minutes left in

205
00:15:35.039 --> 00:15:39.480
the first quarter, and Milwaukee goes
on a six zo run and it's a

206
00:15:39.559 --> 00:15:43.200
nine point game heading into the second
at twenty four to fifteen, and the

207
00:15:43.240 --> 00:15:50.679
Clippers end up going I want to
say, five minutes while scoring just four

208
00:15:50.720 --> 00:15:54.840
points from the end of the first
into the second, and then their offense

209
00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:58.320
erupted. Why because Norn Palcott fire. They scored twenty eight points in the

210
00:15:58.360 --> 00:16:04.559
last seven minutes of that second quarter. They had a six point lead I

211
00:16:04.600 --> 00:16:11.399
believe it was at the half,
and they came out focused, just like

212
00:16:11.440 --> 00:16:15.360
they did in the first quarter early
on with the nine three lead. I

213
00:16:15.399 --> 00:16:18.840
believe it was. But to start
things off in that third quarter, guys

214
00:16:18.840 --> 00:16:22.480
were hitting shots. They got Paul
George involved, Kawhi Leonard and then Marcus

215
00:16:22.559 --> 00:16:26.399
Moose who had a really good ball
game. He had nine of his sixteen

216
00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:30.960
in the third. They got a
beats, the Zoo Bots involved, and

217
00:16:30.039 --> 00:16:33.919
just magically, it seems like their
defense gets better when Big Zoo is actually

218
00:16:33.960 --> 00:16:40.879
getting touches on offense and going to
work and going at Yannis some and I

219
00:16:40.919 --> 00:16:44.559
thought he played great, fouled out, had some tough calls against him.

220
00:16:44.720 --> 00:16:48.159
Well, you don't score on one
end, you don't get to set your

221
00:16:48.200 --> 00:16:52.360
defense as well on the other.
It allows Milwaukee to get into transition and

222
00:16:52.399 --> 00:17:00.120
that's where Yannis flourishes. He's too
good at slicing through the lane when he

223
00:17:00.159 --> 00:17:03.559
gets an open run at it.
And that's what we saw a lot in

224
00:17:03.599 --> 00:17:08.240
the fourth quarter because the Clippers weren't
hitting shots, and I thought Big Zoo

225
00:17:08.319 --> 00:17:14.160
did all he could and Yannis still
at fifty four see once had six offensive

226
00:17:14.160 --> 00:17:18.359
rebounds. The Clippers were so good
in so many areas, but they're two

227
00:17:18.400 --> 00:17:22.960
superstars. Kind of let them down, Not kind of they did, gotta

228
00:17:22.960 --> 00:17:26.920
be honest about it. They combined
to shoot thirty percent oh for eight at

229
00:17:26.960 --> 00:17:32.640
the end of the game. They
just needed to hit one shot. They

230
00:17:32.680 --> 00:17:37.279
couldn't get one. They didn't get
to the free throw line either, walkis

231
00:17:37.319 --> 00:17:44.480
and the bonus. It was an
unraveling and a collapse by the Clippers being

232
00:17:44.559 --> 00:17:48.680
up twenty one seven minutes left in
the third quarter. You have to find

233
00:17:48.680 --> 00:17:52.319
a win away to win that ball
game. But just like the first quarter,

234
00:17:52.759 --> 00:17:56.720
they had about a fifteen point lead
with minutes remaining to end the third

235
00:17:59.200 --> 00:18:03.359
and they end up just leading by
nine heading into the fourth, just like

236
00:18:03.400 --> 00:18:07.559
they were only leading by nine heading
into the second. So that's what I

237
00:18:07.559 --> 00:18:10.279
mean by deja vu. And they
had a foul at the very end of

238
00:18:10.319 --> 00:18:15.200
the third quarter. It was tickie
tack. It was on Nicholas Batoum and

239
00:18:15.240 --> 00:18:21.000
Wesley Matthews went one of two from
the free throw line. But instead of

240
00:18:21.039 --> 00:18:26.799
being up double digits, they're only
up nine. This one is gonna be

241
00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:30.839
tough. The team just has to
bounce back. Obviously, with twenty seven

242
00:18:30.880 --> 00:18:33.000
games left, they can't dwell on
it. They got a day off,

243
00:18:33.039 --> 00:18:36.359
They're gonna be in New York.
They're taking on a good Knicks team is

244
00:18:36.359 --> 00:18:40.440
playing much better basketball, and they
were earlier in the season. They beaten

245
00:18:40.519 --> 00:18:45.200
good teams lately. But Kawhi was
just seventeen, Paul George with just sixteen,

246
00:18:47.079 --> 00:18:52.359
and the Clippers let go one once
again after we thought they had turned

247
00:18:52.359 --> 00:18:56.079
a corner in this area. Look, they only turned the ball over seven

248
00:18:56.160 --> 00:19:02.440
times, but a couple of them
came at the wrong time. It's just

249
00:19:02.640 --> 00:19:06.160
in opportune times. They had two
turnovers early in the fourth Paul George was

250
00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:11.319
one of them, and then Reggie
was just an inexplicable turnover where he turned

251
00:19:11.359 --> 00:19:15.400
his back to his defender, wasn't
looking at him, and eventually it went

252
00:19:15.440 --> 00:19:19.880
out of bounce last touched by him. It was. It was a head

253
00:19:19.880 --> 00:19:25.400
scratcher. It was tough to watch. I get it, Clipper Nation,

254
00:19:25.519 --> 00:19:29.119
I'm sure there's gonna be a lot
of frustration. Let's start with Rick in

255
00:19:29.200 --> 00:19:32.880
Los Angeles. Rick, lead things
off. You were the first one to

256
00:19:32.920 --> 00:19:34.720
call in after the Clippers lose by
one in a game where they had a

257
00:19:34.759 --> 00:19:41.799
twenty one point lead. Well,
the good news is. I guess I'm

258
00:19:41.799 --> 00:19:44.640
not waiting that long. I'm not
as frustrated as a sixtus. I was

259
00:19:44.680 --> 00:19:49.440
what I first called it, but
Sima down now. Yeah, well so

260
00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:55.359
it's not you know, when you
watch these guys, it's not that complicated.

261
00:19:55.400 --> 00:19:57.079
What happens at the end of the
third quarters and dress all throughout the

262
00:19:57.119 --> 00:20:00.839
fourth quarter and in other games where
they though the lead, they stop moving.

263
00:20:02.559 --> 00:20:04.960
They just stop moving. They start
playing one on one ball, they

264
00:20:06.000 --> 00:20:08.279
start playing hero ball. I think
Tyler is one of the best coaches in

265
00:20:08.319 --> 00:20:11.680
the NBA. He made no adjustments. He just let him do it.

266
00:20:11.799 --> 00:20:15.240
Well, let me push, let
me push back a little bit, and

267
00:20:15.240 --> 00:20:18.400
I'll let you go. Yeah,
you can talk some more. But this

268
00:20:18.440 --> 00:20:22.799
stuff does happen all the time with
every team. Late in games, most

269
00:20:22.839 --> 00:20:27.839
teams with superstars are playing through them. There's not a lot of ball movement.

270
00:20:29.200 --> 00:20:33.160
The difference was the Clippers just went
unbelievably cold, with both their guys

271
00:20:33.240 --> 00:20:36.920
going oh for eight down the stretch
when they just needed to make one shot.

272
00:20:37.720 --> 00:20:41.519
They hit those shots that they were
hitting earlier. And we're not talking

273
00:20:41.559 --> 00:20:47.960
about this. It's some of this
offense is standard typical. You play through

274
00:20:48.000 --> 00:20:51.599
your stars late. You live and
die with them. I'm not saying I

275
00:20:51.680 --> 00:20:53.200
like it all the time, and
there could be more ball movement, but

276
00:20:53.759 --> 00:20:56.920
most teams do it. I mean, Jannis scored all their points, their

277
00:20:56.960 --> 00:21:03.039
last seven points for Milwaukee. Yeah, it happens. It's not just the

278
00:21:03.039 --> 00:21:06.799
Clippers. I'll just say that.
But keep going. Yeah, so it's

279
00:21:06.839 --> 00:21:08.839
not just the last possessions. You
don't get to the last possessions if you

280
00:21:08.920 --> 00:21:11.359
start, if you're if you're continuing
to pass the ball the whole game,

281
00:21:11.400 --> 00:21:15.759
I mean, you look at I'll
always use Golden State as a great example.

282
00:21:15.880 --> 00:21:18.839
They played through everybody. They're always
passing the ball. There's not just

283
00:21:18.920 --> 00:21:22.160
one guy that they look towards.
So the Clippers stopped passing the balls off

284
00:21:22.200 --> 00:21:25.640
the first time they've done it.
Everybody stands around. They watch Paul George,

285
00:21:25.680 --> 00:21:29.079
they watch Kawhi Leonard. I know
what it is to be on and

286
00:21:29.160 --> 00:21:32.039
to be off, and shooters know
when they're on and they're off. Kawhi

287
00:21:32.200 --> 00:21:34.480
was off. He wasn't missing just
long and short. He was missing left,

288
00:21:34.519 --> 00:21:37.680
he was missing right. He was
missing long in English missing He just

289
00:21:38.000 --> 00:21:41.640
hit a shot with four minutes left. Rick, he just hit a shot

290
00:21:41.680 --> 00:21:45.119
with four minutes left. No no, no, Rick, no, no,

291
00:21:44.960 --> 00:21:48.079
no. I get a pushback.
He acknowledge it, and then we

292
00:21:48.200 --> 00:21:52.799
continue on. He just hit a
huge shot. Rick respond to that,

293
00:21:53.279 --> 00:21:57.920
Yes he did so, he so
he hit a shot, so he should

294
00:21:57.920 --> 00:22:00.759
go you know what, but I
was cold earlier. So now I'm gonna

295
00:22:00.759 --> 00:22:04.279
stop shooting, even though I just
hit one. Now I'm gonna stop.

296
00:22:04.319 --> 00:22:07.599
No no, no, no,
no no. What's the logic that he

297
00:22:07.640 --> 00:22:11.200
hit one shot? One shot inside
the lane? But but he's but the

298
00:22:11.640 --> 00:22:15.480
offense stood around and part played one
on one ball and even at the end

299
00:22:15.519 --> 00:22:18.480
of the game on that last play, he didn't look for any of his

300
00:22:18.519 --> 00:22:22.000
teammates. He the play was called
for him. He's missing left and he's

301
00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:25.880
missing right. The play was called
for him, Rick, Yes, it

302
00:22:25.960 --> 00:22:29.440
was called for Why he's the superstar
in the team. He's gonna take the

303
00:22:29.480 --> 00:22:33.240
final shot. This is not abnormal. You merring up the Golden State Warriors.

304
00:22:33.359 --> 00:22:38.319
There are times they do the exact
same thing with Steph Curry. They

305
00:22:38.440 --> 00:22:42.240
got a lot of guys to go
through and I remember historically what was what

306
00:22:42.279 --> 00:22:45.880
was a great play with Michael Jordan. They us Scotty Pippen as a decoy.

307
00:22:45.079 --> 00:22:48.480
So, I mean, you just
if your guy's not shooting Will,

308
00:22:48.519 --> 00:22:49.519
he's not shooting Will. But I
don't want to go just to the one

309
00:22:49.519 --> 00:22:52.720
possession. They stop passing the ball. They do this a lot. The

310
00:22:52.720 --> 00:22:56.880
Clippers do this a lot. They
all stand around and it gets everybody else

311
00:22:56.920 --> 00:23:00.519
cold. You're not in transition.
You're doing that. He's what you say.

312
00:23:00.519 --> 00:23:03.079
Happened. You start missing shots.
Now the other team is just scoring.

313
00:23:03.559 --> 00:23:06.559
They have a set defense. We're
not that great. I get set

314
00:23:06.559 --> 00:23:08.839
defenses. We're great moving the ball. When we're just standing around one on

315
00:23:08.839 --> 00:23:12.599
one, we're just not good.
And you would think by now we would

316
00:23:12.680 --> 00:23:15.480
know that. It's not. It's
not complicated. You watch it. I

317
00:23:15.559 --> 00:23:18.440
heard all your comments. There's your
I mean, I know you're pushing dot

318
00:23:18.440 --> 00:23:22.519
com because it makes interesting radio,
but I know you agree with almost everything

319
00:23:22.519 --> 00:23:26.359
I'm saying. No, neither do
I agree with that part either. Rick.

320
00:23:26.480 --> 00:23:30.279
I'm sorry, my friend. I'm
not just pushing back to make interesting

321
00:23:30.400 --> 00:23:34.440
radio. Rick. If I pull
tape from the fourth quarter, guys aren't

322
00:23:34.440 --> 00:23:38.000
just standing around. There is still
some movement out there, whether or not

323
00:23:38.039 --> 00:23:42.359
they executed well enough. Sometimes it's
just to make or misleague. Do I

324
00:23:42.400 --> 00:23:47.160
agree with some of it. Yeah, they need to be better. Obviously,

325
00:23:47.839 --> 00:23:52.000
they have to execute down the stretch. But Kawhi Leonard and Paul George,

326
00:23:52.240 --> 00:23:56.640
those are superstars. They simply have
to make shots and be better like

327
00:23:56.720 --> 00:24:00.200
that. A lot of that is
just on them, the thoughts. But

328
00:24:00.319 --> 00:24:04.119
something shouldn't be lifted to play one
on one ball, move the ball around.

329
00:24:04.119 --> 00:24:10.200
There are two of the greatest is
players that ever lived, and that's

330
00:24:10.240 --> 00:24:12.400
what happens typically late in games all
the time. Okay, Rick, I

331
00:24:12.440 --> 00:24:18.319
appreciate the phone call. I can't
keep going around in circles here like I

332
00:24:18.400 --> 00:24:26.160
agree to an extent, But it's
also just great players have to make high

333
00:24:26.200 --> 00:24:30.359
degree of difficult shots all the time. This is what the league comes down

334
00:24:30.359 --> 00:24:36.799
to. Latent games. Hero Ball
happens every single game that comes down to

335
00:24:37.559 --> 00:24:41.160
a shot here or there in close
ball games. It's not abnormal. It's

336
00:24:41.240 --> 00:24:45.799
not just the Clippers. And if
one of those shots go we're having a

337
00:24:45.839 --> 00:24:49.799
completely different conversation. I agree to
it with you to some point, to

338
00:24:49.839 --> 00:24:55.559
some degree, sure, and I
think if the Clippers are looking for a

339
00:24:55.599 --> 00:24:59.400
more traditional point guard, if the
right deal is there, they got to

340
00:24:59.400 --> 00:25:04.319
consider it just to get those two
guys to their spots more easily. That

341
00:25:04.359 --> 00:25:08.000
makes sense to me. All right, one more call before we break here.

342
00:25:08.200 --> 00:25:11.759
That was long first segment. Letty
an Inglewood, Letty, what's up

343
00:25:11.519 --> 00:25:17.720
they Adam? Look, man,
Rick made some good points. And I'm

344
00:25:17.880 --> 00:25:22.319
just gonna say this, dude,
as this team is constructed, this is

345
00:25:22.559 --> 00:25:27.079
not a championship team, Lenny.
You go back and forth every week depending

346
00:25:27.119 --> 00:25:30.480
on if they win or lose.
Every week you do. I've spent from

347
00:25:30.480 --> 00:25:33.720
the beginning that they had to give
that Reggie is not a championship guard.

348
00:25:34.160 --> 00:25:38.680
They need a guard. They need
a guard. They need a guard.

349
00:25:38.920 --> 00:25:45.079
That offense at the end was coathetic. Man, they didn't score. I

350
00:25:45.119 --> 00:25:49.759
mean every time that the national media
comes around and saying these guys are good,

351
00:25:49.920 --> 00:25:53.400
they just put on a performance.
Like, Adam, we've only beaten

352
00:25:53.519 --> 00:26:00.880
one contending team, and that was
Boston before they had Robert Williams. We've

353
00:26:00.960 --> 00:26:08.359
lost everybody else. We've been destroyed
by Denver Clippers, Philly, Philly whooped

354
00:26:08.400 --> 00:26:12.680
our tail. I mean, no, no, no. The Clippers were

355
00:26:12.720 --> 00:26:18.400
also up by twenty on Philadelphia in
Philly, like they were up by twenty

356
00:26:18.400 --> 00:26:22.160
one on Milwaukee in this game.
So to say, like they're just not

357
00:26:22.480 --> 00:26:26.920
on their level when they're up by
twenty plus. I don't think that is

358
00:26:26.960 --> 00:26:32.599
the truth, Adam. Let me
say this world today, on your on

359
00:26:32.640 --> 00:26:36.319
your on your radio station five seven, they had a drop that was that

360
00:26:36.519 --> 00:26:38.960
was as clear and as one of
the funniest and most revealiing valve I've ever

361
00:26:40.000 --> 00:26:42.519
heard. It was a coach saying, only losers talk about we were up

362
00:26:42.559 --> 00:26:47.799
at halftime. Yeah, it's Mick
Cronin. Guess what, they were up

363
00:26:47.799 --> 00:26:51.359
by twenty one in the third quarter. Nobody cares about that, Adam.

364
00:26:51.480 --> 00:26:53.279
No, no, no, no, you care because they have to win

365
00:26:53.559 --> 00:27:00.240
that game if you're up by twenty
one, Lenny. But Adam, we

366
00:27:00.279 --> 00:27:04.920
are losing. We haven't beat the
Bucks in about ten games. We we

367
00:27:06.240 --> 00:27:10.440
haven't beat the Bucks since Pat Beverly
was here and Montres Harrold was here.

368
00:27:10.480 --> 00:27:12.680
I think I think we can't.
We haven't. We haven't been We were

369
00:27:12.759 --> 00:27:17.519
not letting. It's factually incorrect,
my friend. I'm sorry, but it's

370
00:27:17.559 --> 00:27:21.920
factually incorrect. They don't. They
don't played twice a year. You think

371
00:27:21.960 --> 00:27:26.400
they've lost ten straight to the Bucks. They just beat them April of last

372
00:27:26.480 --> 00:27:33.039
year, was okay? Jeanice wasn't
playing brouh Okay, that doesn't even count.

373
00:27:33.240 --> 00:27:34.839
I don't know. I don't know
who was playing that one. But

374
00:27:34.880 --> 00:27:42.079
they beat them, marshal because because
once Groco at forty and Jeanice kept was

375
00:27:42.160 --> 00:27:49.519
cheering him from the sidelines, were
Kawai and Paul George playing Kauhi and uh

376
00:27:49.640 --> 00:27:53.200
no that weren't Look look, no, Kawai wasn't playing. Well, here's

377
00:27:53.240 --> 00:27:59.039
what I'm saying, man, we're
about if we think we can't win six

378
00:27:59.119 --> 00:28:02.400
seven games in a row. I
mean, come on, we're not going

379
00:28:02.480 --> 00:28:04.000
to go into the playoffs against the
best of the best and all of a

380
00:28:04.039 --> 00:28:08.279
sudden it's all gonna just magically fall
in place. They just won six of

381
00:28:08.400 --> 00:28:11.839
seven. They just won five in
a row. What are you talking about,

382
00:28:12.119 --> 00:28:15.240
Adam. I'm telling you, bro, I've been watching basketball for a

383
00:28:15.319 --> 00:28:19.599
long ass. That's great, But
you can't say we can't win this man

384
00:28:19.759 --> 00:28:23.680
games in a row and then they
just did. We're not gonna win it

385
00:28:23.680 --> 00:28:26.119
with this team. I'm and I'm
telling you what I think. I think

386
00:28:26.200 --> 00:28:30.359
Tyler is almost duded on purpose to
prove he needs another piece, all right.

387
00:28:30.400 --> 00:28:34.920
I think they almost because because the
strategy at the end was ridiculous.

388
00:28:34.920 --> 00:28:38.119
I don't know what that was.
Okay, I think I agree with you.

389
00:28:38.160 --> 00:28:41.960
They might need another piece. I
appreciate the phone call, lady.

390
00:28:42.160 --> 00:28:47.920
They might need another piece. I
think that's real. I think if we're

391
00:28:47.920 --> 00:28:52.200
being honest about it, they might
be a piece away. But tonight's ball

392
00:28:52.279 --> 00:28:56.519
game. You're up by twenty one, just like they were up by twenty

393
00:28:56.559 --> 00:28:59.960
on Philly. You have to find
a way to win, and you're clothes

394
00:29:00.279 --> 00:29:07.319
have to close. That's on him. They gotta be better. Clippers lose

395
00:29:07.359 --> 00:29:11.200
one oh six to one oh five
in Milwaukee, as Yannis has fifty four

396
00:29:11.279 --> 00:29:14.920
and twenty of those points came in
the fourth quarter, by the way,

397
00:29:15.160 --> 00:29:18.960
and he scored the last seven of
this one. Or after goods start here

398
00:29:18.960 --> 00:29:22.359
on Clippers stock eight six six ninety
eight seven two five seventy eight six six

399
00:29:22.480 --> 00:29:27.000
ninety eight seven two five seventy more
Clippers stock next right here on am by

400
00:29:27.000 --> 00:29:30.640
seventy ol sports a game if it
don't mean nothing? What is game?

401
00:29:30.720 --> 00:29:33.920
Who got game? With the game? In life? Behind the game,

402
00:29:34.000 --> 00:29:37.519
behind the game. I got game, she's got game, we got game,

403
00:29:37.640 --> 00:29:41.480
they got game. He got game
in my bag. But I just

404
00:29:41.559 --> 00:29:48.240
can't remember right, I'm wedding my
doing, whatding my doe? I'll get

405
00:29:48.240 --> 00:29:52.359
that strike. I'm going me,
I'm going me. I'm them in life

406
00:29:52.440 --> 00:29:56.039
right, nine man, and this
is what I'm gonna Clippers lose one oh

407
00:29:56.119 --> 00:30:00.480
six to one oh five in Milwaukee
to Yanna Us in his fifty four and

408
00:30:00.680 --> 00:30:08.319
eighteen. After the Clippers led by
twenty one and the third quarter, they

409
00:30:08.440 --> 00:30:15.119
can't hit shots late. Kawhi Leonard
and Paul George came up short. Their

410
00:30:15.160 --> 00:30:19.720
next game coming up in New York
against the Knicks on Saturday. Sam in

411
00:30:19.799 --> 00:30:23.759
Orange County or On Clippers stopped with
Adam Ozla. What's up, hey,

412
00:30:23.839 --> 00:30:30.440
Adam oh Man? Tough, tough
loss tonight. I know I'm gonna keep

413
00:30:30.440 --> 00:30:33.559
it real simple. I know that
the talk has been for a long time

414
00:30:34.000 --> 00:30:38.480
that we need a troop point guard, But how much is a troop point

415
00:30:38.480 --> 00:30:42.200
guard going to actually help in games
like this? I mean, we just

416
00:30:42.200 --> 00:30:47.799
didn't make shots down the stretch.
You know, our stars sadly did not

417
00:30:47.880 --> 00:30:51.240
make shots. We went like almost
four minutes without making a basket, like

418
00:30:51.400 --> 00:30:55.319
in those moments, like, how
how much can a point guard? Well,

419
00:30:55.480 --> 00:30:57.960
I'll tell I'll tell you how it
could help and I'm not sure they

420
00:30:59.000 --> 00:31:04.279
need one, but I think it's
something that is likely being considered because your

421
00:31:04.279 --> 00:31:07.759
stars get more taxed when they also
have to bring the ball up every time

422
00:31:07.880 --> 00:31:12.480
too. And if they can just
get in their positions where they're most comfortable

423
00:31:12.519 --> 00:31:15.759
and somebody can feed it to them, it makes the game a lot easier.

424
00:31:17.640 --> 00:31:22.680
Because they did look gas down the
stretch. When you're missing shots like

425
00:31:22.720 --> 00:31:29.640
that, it's usually heavy legs.
Yeah, there's one way that is a

426
00:31:29.680 --> 00:31:32.279
good point. I mean, because
you know, like in those moments,

427
00:31:32.279 --> 00:31:34.200
like in the clutch, like obviously, like it's gonna be Kauhi, it's

428
00:31:34.240 --> 00:31:37.799
gonna be PG, it's gonna have
the ball in their hands. But I

429
00:31:37.880 --> 00:31:40.880
do agree to some extent that in
those moments it would help to have like

430
00:31:40.880 --> 00:31:44.200
a true point guard. No disrespect
to Reggie or drawn, but I think

431
00:31:44.200 --> 00:31:48.440
we could use like another another guy
that could, you know, get them

432
00:31:48.480 --> 00:31:52.880
some easier looks, you know,
help with that fatigue, you know,

433
00:31:52.960 --> 00:31:56.160
down the stretch. So I don't
know, it's just the moments like this,

434
00:31:56.319 --> 00:31:57.480
like hey, you know, they
just didn't make shots. What are

435
00:31:57.480 --> 00:32:00.640
you gonna do? I don't know
if a point guard could have helped that

436
00:32:00.000 --> 00:32:05.920
tonight. Yeah, I appreciate the
phone call, Sam. The difference is

437
00:32:06.039 --> 00:32:13.319
between guys like John Wall and Jen
Rondo, who they tried before and and

438
00:32:13.759 --> 00:32:19.960
Wall has been out now for a
few weeks that abdominal strain. But I

439
00:32:20.000 --> 00:32:24.519
think they'd need somebody who can play
and score off the ball, who can

440
00:32:24.599 --> 00:32:30.640
be a catch and shoot threat out
there. And that's the difference between somebody

441
00:32:30.640 --> 00:32:36.880
like ra Gen Rondo just not a
great shooter from the outside John Wall throughout

442
00:32:36.880 --> 00:32:40.359
his career, that's not one of
his strengths either. That's the type of

443
00:32:40.359 --> 00:32:46.119
guy that people have been bringing up. But it comes down to stars having

444
00:32:46.160 --> 00:32:52.240
to make shots late, and Kawai
and Paul George simply weren't good enough in

445
00:32:52.319 --> 00:32:55.519
this one. I think we have
to be honest about that, Mike in

446
00:32:55.680 --> 00:33:02.839
La Michael's up, Adam, you
know, I was gonna express a lot

447
00:33:02.880 --> 00:33:13.960
of sentiments at the previous color expressed. I guess my hope is that the

448
00:33:14.000 --> 00:33:20.960
front office doesn't take this loss so
much to heart that they go out and

449
00:33:21.440 --> 00:33:25.920
acquire a quote unquote traditional point guard
at any cost, meaning you know,

450
00:33:27.039 --> 00:33:30.599
yes, there are you know for
you know, I agree with the point

451
00:33:30.640 --> 00:33:34.799
you made that yes, a you
know, a a point guard. We

452
00:33:34.880 --> 00:33:37.960
can also play off the ball,
but can help bring the ball up and

453
00:33:37.039 --> 00:33:44.519
preserve you know, kawhis and pg's
legs a bit would certainly, you know,

454
00:33:44.559 --> 00:33:47.920
would certainly help. But I mean, I think if they're if if

455
00:33:47.920 --> 00:33:52.160
they decide to then just you know, go all in and give up a

456
00:33:52.160 --> 00:33:54.559
ton of assets for you know,
Mike Conley or Kyle Lowry, that that

457
00:33:54.599 --> 00:34:00.319
would be disappointing because I don't see
guys like that moving the needle. Much

458
00:34:00.359 --> 00:34:05.200
as you know, you pointed out
this, this game ultimately came tonight as

459
00:34:05.279 --> 00:34:09.519
disappointing and as as you know,
heartbreaking as it was, and it was,

460
00:34:12.920 --> 00:34:19.119
you know, anything else better.
Okay, I appreciate the phone call.

461
00:34:19.440 --> 00:34:23.079
Yeah, Sean in Inglewood, Sean, what's up? You're on Clipper

462
00:34:23.159 --> 00:34:28.880
stock? Hello, Adam, And
thank you for letting me talk to a

463
00:34:28.920 --> 00:34:31.239
second. And I gotta say you
were trying to rook on the cup of

464
00:34:31.280 --> 00:34:37.480
my guys tonight then, which guys. I just want to see the guys

465
00:34:37.480 --> 00:34:42.159
that called them previously to me,
But well I'm not gonna if you're gonna

466
00:34:42.199 --> 00:34:45.440
talk about the Clippers can't have a
winning streak and they just had one I'm

467
00:34:45.480 --> 00:34:50.559
gonna jump in like, I'm not
gonna let that that slide. I'm sorry,

468
00:34:50.599 --> 00:34:54.199
there are some facts here. I
come in peace bro okay, But

469
00:34:54.320 --> 00:34:59.199
I actually want to say that all
of you made really good points, So

470
00:34:59.320 --> 00:35:04.320
let me do tie that into what
I want to say. The good points

471
00:35:04.400 --> 00:35:10.760
that you made is that, hey, they didn't lose their leads against Atlanta

472
00:35:12.599 --> 00:35:15.559
and Chicago. And then the other
callers said, hey, yeah they beat

473
00:35:15.599 --> 00:35:20.800
Boston. Well guess what all three
of those teams have in common. They

474
00:35:20.800 --> 00:35:25.719
don't have a dominant big man.
They have okay big man sort of like

475
00:35:25.880 --> 00:35:31.280
under tessancy. But when we got
against in Bed and when we get against

476
00:35:31.320 --> 00:35:37.719
Yannas, they eat our lunch.
And why because, as I said before,

477
00:35:37.559 --> 00:35:43.840
Tylou plays the same pattern every time, and it's like that, what's

478
00:35:43.880 --> 00:35:50.159
the definition of insanity? You do
the same thing expecting different results, and

479
00:35:50.199 --> 00:35:52.880
when you get towards the end of
the season, people say, well,

480
00:35:52.880 --> 00:35:55.719
we need an eight man or nine
man rotation. Well, guess what.

481
00:35:57.400 --> 00:36:00.119
You may have a guy on your
team that can be an integral part and

482
00:36:00.280 --> 00:36:05.360
helping you win the game that you're
playing right now. But hey, I'm

483
00:36:05.400 --> 00:36:08.679
going with this nine man rotation I
can't change it. Well, you need

484
00:36:08.719 --> 00:36:13.840
to shake it up to win the
game that you're playing. What rotation?

485
00:36:13.960 --> 00:36:17.280
What was the five man lineup you
wanted to see? Sean? Well,

486
00:36:17.320 --> 00:36:22.679
I just want you said that the
guy's legs, we're getting weak on them.

487
00:36:22.079 --> 00:36:27.840
Guess what you're weak when you're six
eight sixty seven and you're playing guys

488
00:36:28.400 --> 00:36:31.199
three four inches talling you every night? Who did you want to see out

489
00:36:31.199 --> 00:36:36.760
there? I'll ask the same question, asking your question. Answering the question

490
00:36:36.920 --> 00:36:39.920
is that, hey, you can
put your big the other big th in

491
00:36:40.039 --> 00:36:45.880
the spell and get these guys arrest
instead of staying with the same rotation.

492
00:36:45.920 --> 00:36:49.920
Because you're you're playing Milwaukee, you're
not playing Chicago or Atlanta at this time.

493
00:36:50.039 --> 00:36:52.280
Who did you want to play?
Sean third time? Or you're out?

494
00:36:52.599 --> 00:36:55.719
Who did you want? Who's the
five man lineup? Bring brown air

495
00:36:55.800 --> 00:37:00.559
and bring Mussa dear Bronte in for
a second. Bring the guys in there,

496
00:37:00.559 --> 00:37:02.679
have a little height, just to
shake it up just a little bit.

497
00:37:02.800 --> 00:37:07.679
That's all I'm saying. You don't
try it though he never tried it

498
00:37:07.760 --> 00:37:10.360
at all. Try it before.
You just keep doing the same thing all

499
00:37:10.400 --> 00:37:15.800
the time. He keep losing the
same way because you get tired in the

500
00:37:15.800 --> 00:37:19.960
fourth, Sean, did you see
the game against Cleveland where he had zoobots,

501
00:37:20.559 --> 00:37:25.719
Moses Brown and Musa Diabate out there
and see that's what I'm talking about.

502
00:37:28.760 --> 00:37:31.079
Yeah, he had five people not
even playing. That's why he used

503
00:37:31.119 --> 00:37:34.519
I mean, I did see it. And guess what I did see?

504
00:37:34.559 --> 00:37:38.679
That was a positive. There were
times defensively that Cleveland couldn't even get a

505
00:37:38.719 --> 00:37:45.800
decent shot in the paint because you
had two guys having each other's back.

506
00:37:45.400 --> 00:37:50.800
I'm saying, show something different,
make the other team adjust. Don't always

507
00:37:50.800 --> 00:37:54.679
adjust to their team. But honestly, and I'll be honest with you,

508
00:37:55.000 --> 00:37:58.960
and I think Tyler was a decent
person. I met him when he was

509
00:37:59.000 --> 00:38:02.800
a player eight back, when I
don't think he's dagative of a coach.

510
00:38:04.239 --> 00:38:08.840
I really don't. And I've seen
it time and time again where mistakes cost

511
00:38:09.000 --> 00:38:14.639
us losses. So people are calling
in talks about we need a point guard.

512
00:38:14.679 --> 00:38:16.599
Yeah, we could use a point
guard. We do need a second

513
00:38:16.599 --> 00:38:21.639
backup big Well, that's a fact. I agree with you there, Sean,

514
00:38:22.360 --> 00:38:27.320
all season long. I appreciate Moses
Brown and his effort, but he's

515
00:38:27.440 --> 00:38:31.320
young. He doesn't have the seasoning. Neither does Musa Diabat. That has

516
00:38:31.320 --> 00:38:37.920
been a glaring void on this roster. And Zubots fouled out. And I

517
00:38:37.000 --> 00:38:42.760
thought a couple of those calls and
the one was challenged. You know,

518
00:38:42.880 --> 00:38:45.800
Tiki tack tough calls on him against
the honest. He did all he could.

519
00:38:46.599 --> 00:38:52.159
But the point of you know,
Yannis and Ebid eat our lunch.

520
00:38:52.199 --> 00:38:58.000
Yeah, they do that to everyone. Yannis just had fifty against New Orleans,

521
00:38:58.800 --> 00:39:04.239
just had forty one against Indiana,
and Bead's been averaging thirty six points

522
00:39:04.320 --> 00:39:08.880
the last two months. Nobody really
has answers for these guys, or Nikolayokich.

523
00:39:09.840 --> 00:39:15.719
It's tough. And the Clippers were
still up by twenty one. It

524
00:39:15.840 --> 00:39:21.039
was seven minutes left. That's that's
what's difficult to swallow about this loss.

525
00:39:21.519 --> 00:39:28.000
Uh, let's see who else do
we got here? Eric in Torrance?

526
00:39:28.039 --> 00:39:30.320
I believe it is Eric. What's
up? You're on? Clippers stop without

527
00:39:30.360 --> 00:39:32.559
him? Awesome? Hey, Adam? How anybody? Yeah? I listened

528
00:39:32.559 --> 00:39:36.960
to all these call everybody calling in. Yeah, I know it's frustrating lost

529
00:39:36.960 --> 00:39:39.239
tonight, but I don't play a
little referee. I guess a little bit

530
00:39:39.280 --> 00:39:44.000
in the middle of everybody, just
be peacemaker, and you know, ultimately

531
00:39:44.000 --> 00:39:49.239
it comes down to like everybody's everybody's
calls got the same kind of thing.

532
00:39:49.840 --> 00:39:52.000
You can't blame. It's not the
coach, it's not one for the players.

533
00:39:52.000 --> 00:39:54.760
Everybody's got a little bit of responsibility
in this thing. You know,

534
00:39:54.800 --> 00:39:58.840
it's not just one person. You're
not going to blow up the team and

535
00:39:58.880 --> 00:40:01.719
do everything just because they lost by
twenty. You know, they've we've been

536
00:40:01.760 --> 00:40:05.119
on both sides of this. We've
you know, we've come back and on

537
00:40:05.199 --> 00:40:07.960
many teams before our teams in the
you know, last year's season, I

538
00:40:07.960 --> 00:40:10.920
think we had a bunch of comeback
wins. This season, we've already had

539
00:40:10.920 --> 00:40:15.960
a couple. So that that's the
NBA basketball that Yeah, like their last

540
00:40:15.000 --> 00:40:20.079
game where they came back down nineteen
on Chicago, Yeah, absolutely so so.

541
00:40:20.199 --> 00:40:22.039
But what my point is, though, we need to get dribble penetration

542
00:40:22.079 --> 00:40:25.199
at the end of the game.
We can't have jump shots settling for jump

543
00:40:25.199 --> 00:40:28.719
shots, you know, at the
last six minutes of the game. This

544
00:40:28.760 --> 00:40:30.400
is ultimately the problem with the quality
of the shots that we're getting. It's

545
00:40:30.400 --> 00:40:35.320
not the it's not the you know, quite going one on one. That's

546
00:40:35.360 --> 00:40:37.119
fine, quite and go one on
one, but he needs to get to

547
00:40:37.119 --> 00:40:38.639
the hole. He needs to be
aggressive and get to the hole. And

548
00:40:38.639 --> 00:40:40.960
I don't know if they're scared to
get hurt. Maybe that's what it is,

549
00:40:42.000 --> 00:40:44.559
injury, whatever it is, you
know, maybe they you know,

550
00:40:44.920 --> 00:40:47.119
whatever it is. But we need
our stars to be stars when it's time

551
00:40:47.199 --> 00:40:50.199
to be a star, like Paul
George needs to get to the hole,

552
00:40:50.280 --> 00:40:52.559
not throwing up air balls quite and
Letter needs to get to the whole.

553
00:40:52.679 --> 00:40:54.400
And I'm not saying that, you
know, like he got into the pain

554
00:40:54.440 --> 00:40:57.800
a couple of times and missed a
couple of turnaround jump shots. But even

555
00:40:57.840 --> 00:41:00.400
those that needs to get to the
hole, all the way to the rim,

556
00:41:00.559 --> 00:41:02.039
get a foul, get to the
line, get some free throws,

557
00:41:02.039 --> 00:41:06.039
get some points on the board because
we need points. We need points where

558
00:41:06.079 --> 00:41:07.679
at the end of the game when
you're in a drought, that's what your

559
00:41:07.679 --> 00:41:10.559
superstars are there to do. They're
there to get your points. That's what

560
00:41:10.599 --> 00:41:15.360
they do that, you know.
And and tonight I also felt like Norman

561
00:41:15.400 --> 00:41:17.519
Pale had it going and you know, that's a little bit on tie.

562
00:41:17.599 --> 00:41:21.920
I thought Norman Pale should have been
in there instead of maybe marks uh more

563
00:41:22.039 --> 00:41:24.199
senior instead of more senior. You
know, take senior out let Norman Powell

564
00:41:24.280 --> 00:41:27.239
be in there, let him have
the ball, put in his ball in

565
00:41:27.239 --> 00:41:29.679
his hands. He was just you
know, slicing into the lane whenever he

566
00:41:29.719 --> 00:41:31.039
wanted to. He could just go
into the lane whenever he wanted, just

567
00:41:31.599 --> 00:41:35.599
right around his man. And then
that's what creates our shots. That's how

568
00:41:35.639 --> 00:41:38.199
we get our shots. Understand,
Like we get open shots because we get

569
00:41:38.239 --> 00:41:42.280
dribble penetration. That's how we got
to where we got a fifteen point lead,

570
00:41:42.440 --> 00:41:45.559
twenty point lead. That's how we
got that where we got. If

571
00:41:45.599 --> 00:41:49.039
we just keep doing what we're doing
for the whole game, then we would

572
00:41:49.079 --> 00:41:51.360
win the game. It would be
so very simple. It's you know,

573
00:41:51.480 --> 00:41:53.320
it's not that, it's not a
big formula. And that goes to all

574
00:41:53.360 --> 00:41:58.320
the callers before everybody Rick, you
know, everybody's called, they're all everybody,

575
00:41:58.320 --> 00:42:00.960
you know, they're all angry.
But Eric, Eric, would it

576
00:42:00.960 --> 00:42:04.960
blow your mind if Norman Powell was
in the game but didn't take a shot

577
00:42:05.000 --> 00:42:07.400
at the last four minutes and sixteen
seconds, Yeah, it probably was.

578
00:42:07.519 --> 00:42:09.440
I didn't even realize that if he
was or not. I didn't know,

579
00:42:09.480 --> 00:42:12.280
you know what I mean, I'm
just saying, well, there you go

580
00:42:12.639 --> 00:42:14.639
to have a touch, So I
would have liked him to have at least

581
00:42:14.679 --> 00:42:17.679
a touch on the ball, unless
you know that's that's fine, But if

582
00:42:17.679 --> 00:42:21.960
you're going after coach, why is
it Norman the game? He was like,

583
00:42:22.400 --> 00:42:25.559
we gotta get our facts right before
we start criticizing. No, I

584
00:42:25.599 --> 00:42:28.920
didn't realize that. Sorry about that. Yeah, no, no, And

585
00:42:29.000 --> 00:42:30.199
you know I said, I'm just
trying to be you know, we're all

586
00:42:30.239 --> 00:42:32.360
the same on the same team here, so it's like, you know,

587
00:42:32.400 --> 00:42:36.880
I'm not trying to throw bricks and
anybody at the coach or at the players

588
00:42:36.880 --> 00:42:39.360
at all. I mean, you
know, Kawai and PG obviously didn't have

589
00:42:39.400 --> 00:42:43.360
it going tonight. They you know, they they had sixteen and seventeen between

590
00:42:43.360 --> 00:42:45.000
the two of them. Norman Powell
had twenty six. I mean, and

591
00:42:45.440 --> 00:42:49.480
Eric, I appreciate the phone call, man, I let you go for

592
00:42:49.559 --> 00:42:52.719
a while. Call back in on
Saturday, my friend. I appreciate it.

593
00:42:52.920 --> 00:42:54.159
We'll say a quick time out.
We'll get back to your phone calls

594
00:42:54.159 --> 00:42:58.480
eight sixty six nine eight seven two
five seventy eight six six nine eight seven

595
00:42:58.519 --> 00:43:02.199
two five seventy. A lot of
passion on the phone lines tonight. But

596
00:43:02.280 --> 00:43:07.880
yeah, Norm Powell wasn't the ball
game late and post gave me out this

597
00:43:07.920 --> 00:43:10.880
quote. He didn't question PG and
Kawai shots, he said. I told

598
00:43:12.000 --> 00:43:15.239
Kauai. I told p the shots
he's missing, those are the ones that

599
00:43:15.280 --> 00:43:19.679
he works on. I've seen him
make those countless times. That's why I'm

600
00:43:19.719 --> 00:43:22.599
not really tripping if I get the
ball or not. Man, I've seen

601
00:43:22.679 --> 00:43:25.559
him make that one from the corner, fading mid range to send us to

602
00:43:25.599 --> 00:43:30.119
the Eastern Conference Finals. You just
gotta live and die with those things like

603
00:43:30.199 --> 00:43:35.159
that. But those guys know they're
going to adjust. Next time they're in

604
00:43:35.199 --> 00:43:38.280
that situation. I think it's going
to be a different result. That's the

605
00:43:38.280 --> 00:43:42.760
thing. You complain when they missed
those shots. But when Kawai makes it,

606
00:43:42.760 --> 00:43:45.400
it's one of the biggest shots in
NBA history, like he hit against

607
00:43:45.639 --> 00:43:50.199
the Philadelphia seventy six ers. That's
what That play was very similar to the

608
00:43:50.239 --> 00:43:53.000
one he missed late. In this
one, Norm referenced he was on that

609
00:43:53.039 --> 00:43:59.159
Toronto team as well. So a
tough one, but contextualize it a little

610
00:43:59.199 --> 00:44:05.400
bit. I don't expect those two
guys to go over eight down the stretch

611
00:44:06.840 --> 00:44:08.840
in the last four minutes. They
just had to hit one of them.

612
00:44:08.960 --> 00:44:12.960
Didn't happen tonight. More clipper Stock
next year on the M five seventy ol

613
00:44:13.039 --> 00:44:24.639
sports now Set you Down, Set
you down a game a game every series.

614
00:44:29.519 --> 00:44:31.519
Last time that I check, it
was five chains on my neck.

615
00:44:31.960 --> 00:44:37.159
It was no smartle clippery one just
to fall by one, to be honest,

616
00:44:37.159 --> 00:44:40.280
and then a coupo in the Milwaukee
Buck hes fifty four and they lose

617
00:44:40.360 --> 00:44:45.679
one oh six to one oh five
in Milwaukee. Welcome back on the clipper

618
00:44:45.719 --> 00:44:49.039
Stock. I'm out of Oslin eight
six six ninety eight seven two five seventy

619
00:44:49.039 --> 00:44:51.679
eight six six to ninety eight seven
two five seventies of the phone number.

620
00:44:51.679 --> 00:44:53.679
We'll get back to your phone calls
coming up, But first you hear the

621
00:44:53.760 --> 00:44:59.000
music. You know it's Eclipse in
double dip segment this time joining me on

622
00:44:59.119 --> 00:45:02.519
the Super sup for secret Guess hotline. That would be Charles Mockler. All

623
00:45:02.599 --> 00:45:06.079
right, Charles, been a rough
one tonight with the phone calls. I

624
00:45:06.119 --> 00:45:09.760
get people saying there's no ball movement
whatsoever, that we're the only team that

625
00:45:09.880 --> 00:45:14.519
does hero ball at the end of
games. I would just push back and

626
00:45:14.559 --> 00:45:16.639
say, like, they just hit
one of those shots and they win the

627
00:45:16.639 --> 00:45:22.719
game. And these are great isolation
players that are going to have to hit

628
00:45:22.760 --> 00:45:24.760
those shots. That's kind of what
they're paid to do. The Kawai and

629
00:45:24.800 --> 00:45:29.840
Paul George can't go over eight in
the last four minutes of a ball game

630
00:45:29.960 --> 00:45:32.639
or you're going to lose a close
one. How did you see it play

631
00:45:32.679 --> 00:45:37.719
out in the end? Well,
I mean, the people who are angry

632
00:45:37.760 --> 00:45:42.079
about the lack of ball movement are
not wrong, you know what I mean.

633
00:45:42.159 --> 00:45:45.920
I was getting frustrated by that.
It was looking good in the beginning

634
00:45:45.960 --> 00:45:49.119
of the game because the shots were
falling right, But you're right, I

635
00:45:49.119 --> 00:45:52.480
mean, Kawai DG. They're on
this team to make up for when guys

636
00:45:52.519 --> 00:45:58.079
like the Toomb go over three or
Reggie goes three for nine or something like

637
00:45:58.119 --> 00:46:00.519
that. You know, like,
this was a really rough game from a

638
00:46:00.519 --> 00:46:05.320
process perspective. I think that's what
most people are frustrating about, which I

639
00:46:05.800 --> 00:46:08.800
totally get. And kawaig threw up
some interesting shots, you know, there

640
00:46:08.920 --> 00:46:15.239
was there's a couple of i'd say
probably like of Kawai's attempts you were okay

641
00:46:15.280 --> 00:46:19.079
with, and then maybe the other
fifty there were some question marks is when

642
00:46:19.079 --> 00:46:22.320
they were happening, the process to
get there and all that kind of stuff.

643
00:46:22.360 --> 00:46:25.199
Like it was. It was one
of those games where if the Clippers

644
00:46:25.199 --> 00:46:30.039
would have won, it would have
massed some of the process issues I think,

645
00:46:30.079 --> 00:46:36.519
and maybe some of the interesting lineup
decisions late in this one. Yeah,

646
00:46:36.639 --> 00:46:39.280
and speaking to that, you know
Norman Powell was in there, but

647
00:46:39.440 --> 00:46:43.840
he doesn't get a shot off late. Of course, he backs his guys

648
00:46:43.880 --> 00:46:46.360
post games saying, yeah, I've
seen him make those shots all the time.

649
00:46:46.960 --> 00:46:51.639
Sure, and when they make them, there's not even a thought sometimes

650
00:46:51.639 --> 00:46:57.000
that's a bad shot because great players
make high degree of difficulty shots all the

651
00:46:57.039 --> 00:47:00.119
time. And Kawai just made one
to put them up six who with three

652
00:47:00.239 --> 00:47:06.239
fifty one left in the ball game. But you can speak to some of

653
00:47:06.280 --> 00:47:08.599
the lineups and what they had to
go with late because of Vizza Zubots was

654
00:47:08.639 --> 00:47:14.719
out, who I thought played great
in this one, and they actually featured

655
00:47:14.800 --> 00:47:17.760
him a few different times and got
him some looks and he made the most

656
00:47:17.800 --> 00:47:22.400
of them. And even in a
game where he fouls out against Yannis and

657
00:47:22.440 --> 00:47:24.480
Yannis has fifty four, I'm like, dang Zoo. You did all you

658
00:47:24.480 --> 00:47:28.440
could. You did great out there, Like I want to give him a

659
00:47:28.440 --> 00:47:30.519
pet because I thought he played well. But yeah, what would you have

660
00:47:30.599 --> 00:47:37.159
liked to see down the stretch in
terms of just rotations and what that death

661
00:47:37.199 --> 00:47:40.519
lineup could be for this team to
close out a ball game. Yeah,

662
00:47:40.599 --> 00:47:44.840
I mean, you know, Reggie
being in a little later in the game.

663
00:47:44.880 --> 00:47:46.599
I think some people were a little
upset about we have heard kind of

664
00:47:46.599 --> 00:47:51.199
Tyler you talk about. You know, Reggie does make big shots, and

665
00:47:51.239 --> 00:47:53.440
he made, you know, a
big ish shot in this game. I

666
00:47:53.480 --> 00:47:58.880
think Arond the third Cory, which
was nice, but no Luke Kennard at

667
00:47:58.920 --> 00:48:01.920
all is interesting. I know there's
a lot of guards to juggle and things

668
00:48:01.960 --> 00:48:07.280
like that, but a complete DNP
is a little you know, and I

669
00:48:07.320 --> 00:48:08.599
don't want to say shocking, but
I don't think anyone had that on their

670
00:48:08.639 --> 00:48:12.960
Clippers bingo board right now, which
would be you know, canar getting a

671
00:48:13.039 --> 00:48:15.800
DNP in a game where the Clippers
shoot okay from deep you know, thirty

672
00:48:15.840 --> 00:48:20.400
six percent on the night, but
maybe Terence Van being in late. He

673
00:48:20.440 --> 00:48:22.320
didn't have the hottest shooting night,
but there, you know, you look

674
00:48:22.360 --> 00:48:25.039
at his plus minus numbers, those
were Solids who was effective when he was

675
00:48:25.039 --> 00:48:29.639
out there with the right guys.
Hey, he hit both threes he took

676
00:48:30.159 --> 00:48:34.360
and they were very true. Yeah, we needed though, so like and

677
00:48:34.400 --> 00:48:37.519
then again, you know, the
Bucks kind of tried to give us this

678
00:48:37.559 --> 00:48:42.280
game, right That Jannis turnover late
was inexplicable. I think everyone was kind

679
00:48:42.280 --> 00:48:44.639
of I was shocked there wasn't a
foul call, just based on how kind

680
00:48:44.639 --> 00:48:46.760
of a Clipper's luck goes. You
know, but in a game where the

681
00:48:46.800 --> 00:48:52.000
Clippers hold me have seven turnovers and
hold a team to one oh six,

682
00:48:52.880 --> 00:48:54.760
you know, if you told me
at the end of the night that the

683
00:48:54.800 --> 00:48:58.480
Clippers were going to only have seven
turnovers and hold the Bucks to one oh

684
00:48:58.559 --> 00:49:00.480
six, I'd say, oh,
so we won by twenty five, right

685
00:49:00.519 --> 00:49:05.960
like that. That's an incredible feat
on the offensive and defensive side of the

686
00:49:05.960 --> 00:49:08.039
ball against the team with a great
offensive rating so far in the Bucks.

687
00:49:08.079 --> 00:49:12.800
But it was the rough process tonight. I think we kind of came down

688
00:49:12.840 --> 00:49:15.320
from the mountain a bit on the
high that we were writing, but just

689
00:49:15.360 --> 00:49:19.679
a little more ball movement. You
know. Obviously some role players could be

690
00:49:19.719 --> 00:49:23.920
better, Nick, but two over
three not his best performance. Reggie turned

691
00:49:23.960 --> 00:49:28.920
on the late but you know,
Norm can't do all the heavy lifting.

692
00:49:29.000 --> 00:49:31.599
I guess would would be another one
of my points from this game. Yeah,

693
00:49:32.119 --> 00:49:36.320
Norm was so good once again.
He had fifteen points in the second

694
00:49:36.360 --> 00:49:38.760
quarter. He had fifteen in the
first half, just like he had twenty

695
00:49:39.119 --> 00:49:44.280
in the first half the other night. He's provided just an unbelievable spark off

696
00:49:44.280 --> 00:49:47.880
the bench. He's making a great
case for being six Men of the Year

697
00:49:49.000 --> 00:49:52.039
for this squad. But you know, some of the other guys and I

698
00:49:52.119 --> 00:49:54.800
talked about this also, and I
want to get your opinion on this,

699
00:49:54.920 --> 00:50:00.320
because you know, on a night
like this, it felt a little like

700
00:50:00.360 --> 00:50:05.760
what happened in twenty twenty one with
the Clippers and how they couldn't close out

701
00:50:05.840 --> 00:50:09.000
games through the first half of the
season and then they got much better at

702
00:50:09.039 --> 00:50:12.760
it. But there was this call
to bring in a point guard and they

703
00:50:12.800 --> 00:50:15.719
did in Gen Rondo, and it
worked in the regular season and it didn't

704
00:50:15.719 --> 00:50:19.599
ironically in the playoffs. There was
no playoff Rondo to be there for them.

705
00:50:20.079 --> 00:50:24.079
But I brought it up the last
couple of games when things got tough

706
00:50:24.119 --> 00:50:30.480
and Dicey laid against Atlanta against the
Chicago Bulls and you're looking for easier shots.

707
00:50:31.519 --> 00:50:37.000
It might be a route they pursue
bringing in one of these guys that

708
00:50:37.039 --> 00:50:40.760
we've been talking about lately that are
rumored to be or the Clippers rumored to

709
00:50:40.800 --> 00:50:44.840
have interest in. How do you
feel about it after a game like this.

710
00:50:45.840 --> 00:50:49.159
I don't think it's a one game
sample. I hope it's not a

711
00:50:49.199 --> 00:50:51.679
one game sample size. You know, it's the front office base. No,

712
00:50:51.800 --> 00:50:55.800
But that's why I'm saying Atlanta Chicago
like it's it's happening. You know,

713
00:50:57.079 --> 00:51:00.760
it's a pattern. You're right.
My thing with so the potential targets

714
00:51:00.840 --> 00:51:05.599
right now, it's down to basically
what Fred van Vleet Mike Conley. Those

715
00:51:05.639 --> 00:51:07.159
are kind of the two names that
have been floated around and the not so

716
00:51:07.360 --> 00:51:12.880
secret kind of trade talks. I
think with van Fleet, if you can

717
00:51:13.000 --> 00:51:19.199
try and make it happen without giving
up both Tarrents in the first and I'd

718
00:51:19.239 --> 00:51:22.280
be more upset to give up Tarrens, I guess than the first round pick.

719
00:51:22.360 --> 00:51:25.320
But I think something's going to happen. I think, you know,

720
00:51:25.360 --> 00:51:28.920
you talked about the first half of
the season, right We've seen this half

721
00:51:29.039 --> 00:51:30.599
with the Clippers. It feels like
the first half of the season for the

722
00:51:30.639 --> 00:51:37.400
Clippers started about seven games ago with
kind of how they handled the actual first

723
00:51:37.400 --> 00:51:40.639
half of the season. So you've
kind of talked about on the podcast like

724
00:51:40.880 --> 00:51:45.159
wanting a big swing, and I
think you're going to get a big swing

725
00:51:45.239 --> 00:51:49.519
from this front office and we'll see
how it goes. But at this point,

726
00:51:49.679 --> 00:51:52.880
I don't I don't think anyone knows
what the full answer is because we're

727
00:51:52.880 --> 00:51:55.599
in a world where we weren't really
sure, you know, I guess weren't

728
00:51:55.599 --> 00:51:59.760
really expecting to have this much issue. A guard right like we still have

729
00:52:00.039 --> 00:52:02.679
on Wall is going to come back, and Luke's getting DMPs and we're still

730
00:52:02.679 --> 00:52:06.679
figuring out the minute. So I
think we're going to see something big.

731
00:52:07.039 --> 00:52:10.039
I'm also being blamed because I brought
up as things that could go wrong in

732
00:52:10.039 --> 00:52:15.559
this one, that what if Kawhi
Leonard doesn't have a great game, So

733
00:52:15.719 --> 00:52:21.760
apparently I jinxed them by pointing out
analysis of what could happen because somebody's been

734
00:52:21.800 --> 00:52:23.239
on that much of a heater.
Eventually, they're going to cool off.

735
00:52:23.280 --> 00:52:28.119
And Drew Holiday was amazing at times, and I was so glad to see

736
00:52:28.119 --> 00:52:30.800
that he got into the All Star
team because he's one of the most underrated

737
00:52:30.800 --> 00:52:35.519
players out there, but his defense
early on getting into Kawhi Leonard. Okay,

738
00:52:35.559 --> 00:52:38.760
so they're taking on the Knicks on
Saturday. We got twenty seven games

739
00:52:38.800 --> 00:52:44.000
left in the season. How are
you feeling about that one in the sense

740
00:52:44.000 --> 00:52:45.880
of urgency that we got to see
from the Clippers and what's the good process

741
00:52:45.920 --> 00:52:50.800
that you're looking for? The good
process that I'm looking for is a very

742
00:52:50.840 --> 00:52:53.280
easy Why let's get back to drive
kick swing instead of just you know,

743
00:52:53.360 --> 00:52:58.920
one swing and firing at three or
no swings and firing at three. So

744
00:52:58.960 --> 00:53:04.480
I want to see drive kicks wing. I'd love to see some kind of

745
00:53:04.519 --> 00:53:08.880
I don't know if clarity is the
right word, but different guard lineups,

746
00:53:08.880 --> 00:53:13.239
you know, like John Wall's not
we don't really know when he's coming back.

747
00:53:13.280 --> 00:53:15.960
Tyli Study's close, but we got
to get something figured out with that.

748
00:53:16.119 --> 00:53:21.000
I hope we see Terence start again, and I hope we see Luke

749
00:53:21.039 --> 00:53:23.039
Kennard a little bit, you know, Like I'm not worried about Kawai and

750
00:53:23.079 --> 00:53:27.760
PG. You know, in terms
of this being a you know, a

751
00:53:27.840 --> 00:53:30.119
big issue going forward. Guys are
gonna have cold nights, like you said,

752
00:53:30.159 --> 00:53:34.480
But I want to see drive kick
swing. I want to see more

753
00:53:34.480 --> 00:53:37.039
of the same from Zoo because he
played great tonight. He was a big

754
00:53:37.039 --> 00:53:40.880
reason why this game was a one
point game. And yeah, and I

755
00:53:40.920 --> 00:53:45.039
hope I see more than six minutes
from Robert Cummington would be another thing.

756
00:53:45.079 --> 00:53:47.360
I hope I see. He is
Chuck mo Cler from the Clips and Dip

00:54:34.400 --> 00:54:37.400

767
00:54:39.800 --> 00:54:46.639
Kompo will come back in the Clippers
Talk final segment, Please be brief.

768
00:54:47.280 --> 00:54:52.599
Let's start with James in Utah.
James, what's up? You're on Clippers

769
00:54:52.599 --> 00:54:55.760
stock with a dam Austin. Hey, Adam, I just called them.

770
00:54:57.159 --> 00:55:00.039
You actually just brought it up,
but you saying I think it was about

771
00:55:00.079 --> 00:55:06.840
ship clips and dipp about what are
we gonna do when Kawaiet doesn't have that

772
00:55:07.000 --> 00:55:12.880
twenty five and nearly double double game
and stuff like that. So in my

773
00:55:12.960 --> 00:55:15.480
opinion, Paul George and the rest
of them, they've got to help him

774
00:55:15.480 --> 00:55:22.039
out. Yeah, and then those
scoop free throws that PG missed obviously huge.

775
00:55:21.920 --> 00:55:27.519
Yeah. So I mean that just
I was just listening to the game,

776
00:55:27.559 --> 00:55:30.480
and when he missed those shots,
I was like, I feel like

777
00:55:30.519 --> 00:55:34.000
we're gonna lease by one now.
Okay that that is a great point.

778
00:55:34.119 --> 00:55:37.320
James. I appreciate you listening tonight, answered the podcast. Yeah, I

779
00:55:37.360 --> 00:55:40.519
forgot to bring that up. Paul
George shot ninety percent from the free throw

780
00:55:40.559 --> 00:55:45.440
line. You want to talk about
the miss shots and the degree of difficulty

781
00:55:45.519 --> 00:55:46.920
of those shots. What about the
missus at the free throw line? Those

782
00:55:46.920 --> 00:55:53.199
guys have to come through there.
Zach in Santa Monica, Zach Hearon Clippersock.

783
00:55:54.599 --> 00:55:59.840
Hi Adam, long time listener,
first time caller. Hey, don't

784
00:55:59.840 --> 00:56:01.239
make it the last time, Zach. I want you to call him back

785
00:56:01.239 --> 00:56:06.880
on Saturday. Oh well, well
I will do. I will make this

786
00:56:06.960 --> 00:56:10.280
a habit. But yeah, you
kind of It's hard to be brief,

787
00:56:10.320 --> 00:56:15.400
honestly with all my thoughts. So
I just want to say I don't always

788
00:56:15.440 --> 00:56:17.559
agree with you, but you do
a fantastic job on this, and I

789
00:56:17.599 --> 00:56:22.480
hope you stay for the long run. I'm here as long as they want

790
00:56:22.480 --> 00:56:27.920
me, Zach. I love it
the best job in the world because we

791
00:56:27.920 --> 00:56:30.360
get guys like you calling in,
call in on Saturday. Okay, Zach,

792
00:56:30.400 --> 00:56:32.440
you want have to be brief at
all there? All right, sounds

793
00:56:32.440 --> 00:56:38.880
good? All right? Uh Bill
in mission, Bahill, Bill, what's

794
00:56:38.960 --> 00:56:43.239
up? You're on Clipper's Talk.
All right, thanks for taking the call.

795
00:56:43.280 --> 00:56:45.159
You know, when you look at
some of these plays tonight, there

796
00:56:45.159 --> 00:56:51.000
are a lot of four point switches
during the you know, both both leads

797
00:56:51.119 --> 00:56:55.239
they had, you know, you
have like Hawaii Missus dunk you know,

798
00:56:55.440 --> 00:57:00.639
you know where they passed inside of
the last second in and they were just

799
00:57:00.679 --> 00:57:02.239
like they came out and hit it
three. I think of that. But

800
00:57:02.519 --> 00:57:07.000
what I'm wondering is they were mentioned
on the broadcast with the league the Clippers

801
00:57:07.039 --> 00:57:10.000
could use another big What do you
think of that? You know, like

802
00:57:10.039 --> 00:57:14.960
when Zuba goes out, they have
the tune, you know they do you

803
00:57:14.960 --> 00:57:17.280
think they need another big? Bill? I think if there's one lock during

804
00:57:17.280 --> 00:57:22.639
the trade deadline, it's the Clippers
picking somebody up. I don't know the

805
00:57:22.679 --> 00:57:24.840
stature of them. I mean,
they're gonna be big, but I mean

806
00:57:25.039 --> 00:57:30.400
in terms of their place in the
league and their player profile and and we're

807
00:57:30.400 --> 00:57:32.360
not talking about a superstar, I
don't think, or anything like that,

808
00:57:34.199 --> 00:57:38.320
but somebody to give them good minutes
off the bench to give Zubots some relief.

809
00:57:38.320 --> 00:57:40.920
Who's been awesome all season long.
I do. I agree with you,

810
00:57:40.960 --> 00:57:45.760
Bill. You can call them on
Saturday too, Phil, thanks for

811
00:57:45.800 --> 00:57:50.840
the phone call. Hartenstun was a
Clipper, wasn't he He was? Nicks

812
00:57:50.840 --> 00:57:53.199
aren't using him that much. They're
going to see him on Saturday. Thanks

813
00:57:53.239 --> 00:57:57.039
for the handoff on the t's their
Bill on the phone call to close things

814
00:57:57.079 --> 00:58:00.079
out more as a long beach to
night on Clippers talk. Oh we're and

815
00:58:00.199 --> 00:58:02.360
some positivity now I know we are, Marris right, we gotta be well,

816
00:58:02.400 --> 00:58:06.199
let me let me jails something.
They're talking about the trade. Listen,

817
00:58:06.280 --> 00:58:08.079
the best trade the trip to the
cripples to do right now, it's

818
00:58:08.119 --> 00:58:12.079
for John Wall to get healthy.
The reason why people were talking about the

819
00:58:12.159 --> 00:58:15.400
John Wall about the Clipper was going
to do it this year when because they

820
00:58:15.440 --> 00:58:17.320
had Kawhi Leonard and because they had
Paul George. He got those brothers,

821
00:58:17.559 --> 00:58:21.599
because they got John Wall. If
they can get John Wall back to where

822
00:58:21.639 --> 00:58:23.039
he was and watching him, we
got this, which you know every time

823
00:58:23.119 --> 00:58:27.079
I listen to the game, I'm
abdominal pain. The nominal page. Look,

824
00:58:27.320 --> 00:58:30.119
this guy's gonna need some lips.
He's gonna need some reps if they're

825
00:58:30.119 --> 00:58:32.280
gonna pull this off. So if
they're gonna trade for some list traces,

826
00:58:32.400 --> 00:58:36.000
good health. Okay, you guys, I see the next name me yug

827
00:58:36.079 --> 00:58:37.880
Nicks. They going down, Morris, thank you for the phone call.

828
00:58:38.920 --> 00:58:42.679
I don't know. He's thirty two, he's coming off and to kill his

829
00:58:42.800 --> 00:58:45.800
injury. He's played forty games the
last three seasons coming into this one.

830
00:58:45.880 --> 00:58:51.760
I don't know if we're ever going
to see Washington Wizards John Wall again,

831
00:58:52.039 --> 00:58:57.199
unfortunately, but here's to hoping that
he gets healthy and the Clippers can stay

832
00:58:57.320 --> 00:59:00.199
healthy the last twenty seven games.
They lose one o six to one oh

833
00:59:00.280 --> 00:59:04.559
five in Milwaukee to the Bucks.
