I'm Adam oslind eight six six 7 00:00:32.840 --> 00:00:37.240 nine eight seven two five seventy eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy 8 00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:40.359 is the full number I'm at. Follow Adam a on Twitter as well. 9 00:00:40.479 --> 00:00:43.159 Coming up, you're gonna hear from the head coach and the player's post game 10 00:00:43.479 --> 00:00:49.880 plus doctor Shap will be here from the Lab, the Jam the Pod to 11 00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:54.920 help us dissect this one. After I've said it a few times already, 12 00:00:56.079 --> 00:01:00.960 the Clippers look like they gave a game away, leading as many as sixteen. 13 00:01:00.679 --> 00:01:06.680 They also looked like they had a game taken away with some brutal calls 14 00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:10.879 that went against them late. How often do we talk about the refs here 15 00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:18.040 on Clippers Talking, No my much, But tonight there were four calls from 16 00:01:18.079 --> 00:01:23.079 the end of the fourth quarter and into overtime that are just tough to overcome. 17 00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:27.799 Yes, the Clippers were up by sixteen, not a lot in today's 18 00:01:27.879 --> 00:01:33.959 game, with how hot teams can get, we usually only count Clippers comebacks 19 00:01:33.959 --> 00:01:38.040 when they're down by twenty or more. But it's tough to lose a ball 20 00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:41.439 game when you shoot fifty percent from the field and go sixteen of thirty six 21 00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:47.439 yourself from the outside, which the Clippers did forty four percent, and somehow 22 00:01:47.480 --> 00:01:52.879 they found a way. But up by three with seven point two seconds left 23 00:01:52.879 --> 00:01:59.760 in regulation, they had a chance to put it away, and instead they 24 00:01:59.840 --> 00:02:04.640 called a foul away from the play after they reviewed it and overturned it. 25 00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:07.159 At first, it was a common foul from Terrence Man, who was on 26 00:02:07.239 --> 00:02:14.759 DeMar Derozen with minimal contact. They usually on inbound passes like that, especially 27 00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:19.120 big plays at the end of games. They let guys get a little more 28 00:02:19.159 --> 00:02:23.360 handsy, a little more physical. Somehow they called one of the most ticky 29 00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:30.840 tack fouls on Terrence Man, and because they said the ball was not being 30 00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:38.919 passed, it was before it crossed the baseline and the inbounds pass was made 31 00:02:38.919 --> 00:02:44.319 it was a foul away from the play. That means Chicago gets a free 32 00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:50.039 throw in the ball. Well, DeMar Derosen would hit the free throw Bulls 33 00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:55.120 had the ball was seven seconds left still and he gets fouled by PG thirteen 34 00:02:55.479 --> 00:03:00.759 minimal contact on a three pointer, goes the line, hits the first two 35 00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:07.400 to tie the game at one eighteen. Somehow after making his first ten free 36 00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:15.319 throws. Well, here's the final call. Bulls okay, I got okay, 37 00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:21.240 dooked. I thought we had the final call of Demardurosen missing that final 38 00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:24.240 one. Here's no eagle. Derosen has the ball in his hands, spins 39 00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:30.680 the ball's dribbles four times, bends the knees, releases, missed it long 40 00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:35.319 prebound, poked around. Morris saves it, and we are going to overtime. 41 00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:40.960 Unbelievable turn of events. His first miss of the night after making his 42 00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:47.039 first ten, and we have bonus basketball in Chicago, one eighteen apiece. 43 00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:53.719 So maybe you would like to say balto lie Botto lie Rashid Wallace style and 44 00:03:53.800 --> 00:04:00.719 the Clippers escaped, getting five extra minutes minutes in ot to find a way 45 00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:04.280 to win this one. Anyways, But because Paul George already hit his minute's 46 00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:09.840 limit at thirty two. He was not available, and it felt like the 47 00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:14.520 Bulls had a four point cushion throughout the entire five minutes of overtime. They 48 00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:17.000 would win by five at one thirty five to one thirty as DeMar dear Rosen 49 00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:24.120 goes for fifty and went fourteen of fifteen from the free throw line the Bulls. 50 00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:28.680 The lone miss from that member of the Bulls, DeMar de Rosen came 51 00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:31.399 in the biggest spot, but he came through late anyways, and the Clippers 52 00:04:31.439 --> 00:04:35.800 lose a heartbreaker. And in overtime there was an offensive foul that was curious 53 00:04:35.800 --> 00:04:41.360 on Marcus Morris, and even more curious a bit of a head scratcher was 54 00:04:41.439 --> 00:04:47.480 Derozen getting the call and they said he was in the act of shooting and 55 00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:54.000 it wasn't even close. The last two minute report, the NBA is not 56 00:04:54.040 --> 00:05:00.800 gonna like this one because it's gonna look like the Chicago Bulls got four crucial 57 00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:04.759 plays that went in their favor late. Now nobody's gonna cry for the Clippers 58 00:05:04.759 --> 00:05:08.399 and they got to get right back up on the horse and figure things out 59 00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:13.879 tomorrow in Milwaukee against the Honest Dad and Koumpo and the Bucks and Yannis just 60 00:05:14.040 --> 00:05:18.560 passed Kareem Abdul Jabbar for most points in franchise history as a member of the 61 00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:25.879 Milwaukee Bucks. Tonight did so in style. But this was a really difficult 62 00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:30.560 loss at the end of the season where the Clippers played phenomenal for forty minutes, 63 00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:33.639 you could say, and they had their chances to put Chicago away, 64 00:05:34.120 --> 00:05:39.879 who battled back and made multiple runs that the Clippers were able to keep at 65 00:05:39.879 --> 00:05:45.600 bay and answer with a run of their own. But late when they had 66 00:05:45.639 --> 00:05:47.519 a lead, and we're hitting three pointers in that fourth quarter and we thought 67 00:05:48.120 --> 00:05:51.000 one of these is going to be the dagger. And Paul George, by 68 00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:56.879 the way, not available in overtime, had eight of their last ten points 69 00:05:57.920 --> 00:06:01.959 in regulation. He was doing it all, but he got called for the 70 00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:08.199 foul and de Rosen on that three pointer, and the Clippers end up giving 71 00:06:08.240 --> 00:06:12.399 one away. They're usually on the other side of these comebacks, not tonight. 72 00:06:12.600 --> 00:06:16.199 They lose both games to Chicago this season, and DeMar derozen torched them 73 00:06:16.839 --> 00:06:20.920 in both games. And there were some really good performances. Reggie Jackson with 74 00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:26.959 thirty four points and he goes six of nine from three, most he's ever 75 00:06:26.959 --> 00:06:30.519 made in the game is seven six of nine. Though absurd shooting, it's 76 00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:35.279 just twenty three shots to get those thirty four points. Marcus Morris bounced back 77 00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:41.360 after having just three points Tuesday night, and coach lou post game and we'll 78 00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:45.600 hear from him coming up, blamed himself for not getting Marcus involved early or 79 00:06:45.639 --> 00:06:48.079 not getting him in a rhythm and engaged in the offense. And that's twenty 80 00:06:48.120 --> 00:06:53.160 five point come back against Utah tonight. Marcus Morris had five points within the 81 00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:56.959 first couple of minutes. He had already scored more than he did all of 82 00:06:57.079 --> 00:07:00.959 Tuesday night. He finished with twenty had fourteen of those at the half, 83 00:07:00.279 --> 00:07:04.639 went seven or twelve from the field. Big Zoo had some huge throwdowns, 84 00:07:04.680 --> 00:07:11.000 including one in ot He finished with eleven and nine. Even though he wasn't 85 00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:15.319 foul trouble five personal still played thirty two minutes. I thought Roco he had 86 00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:20.560 a big offensive rebound, hit a big three pointer. Nick Batoum was amazing 87 00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:25.560 with three blocks, two of them on zach Lavine block tomb. But Tombo 88 00:07:25.720 --> 00:07:29.360 was out there tonight also. He goes four of eight from distance, had 89 00:07:29.399 --> 00:07:34.160 four of the Clipper sixteen, made three pointers and somehow they's just unraveled at 90 00:07:34.360 --> 00:07:41.560 the wrong times in opportune times. They made some fatal mistakes and they had 91 00:07:41.560 --> 00:07:45.720 a couple of calls go against him. Let's go to Javier and Lahabra Heights 92 00:07:45.720 --> 00:07:50.560 your first up here on Clippers Talk. Javier. What's up? Javier good? 93 00:07:50.600 --> 00:07:55.720 Good? A couple of things here. Tay Lou at the last four 94 00:07:55.759 --> 00:07:59.720 minutes, I think he lost the game. I mean, I'm he's been 95 00:07:59.720 --> 00:08:03.959 doing it the whole year. But I mean, man, I know you 96 00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:07.360 said that I was in a foul, but regardless, why is Man he 97 00:08:07.399 --> 00:08:11.360 didn't play the whole fourth quarter, he was coming off the bench. Why 98 00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:16.360 you have him guard the rosen? You should have had him Covington should have 99 00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:20.319 been guarding the rosen. I mean, I don't blame Man. He came 100 00:08:20.360 --> 00:08:24.319 to the game cold and and like you said, it was in a foul. 101 00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:28.079 But whatever, it should have been Covington. That's number one, number 102 00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:33.759 two Marcus Morrison. I know he had what he had. What makes seven 103 00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:37.799 out of ten? He kind of bounced back, but honestly, he was 104 00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:43.679 another minus seven at him. I don't know the love fest for Marcus honestly, 105 00:08:43.720 --> 00:08:48.320 he's a good player. But it's like, you know, if he 106 00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:50.720 doesn't shoot, well, what else did he do good? At him? 107 00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:54.679 Does he rebound? Does he play defense? Did he take target? I 108 00:08:54.679 --> 00:09:01.679 would say yes? Would I would say yes? He plays defense? Savier. 109 00:09:03.159 --> 00:09:05.120 I know he didn't have a great game on that end, and he 110 00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:09.919 really struggled Tuesday night. But if a guy's seven or twelve from the field 111 00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:11.600 and has twenty points, I know he was a minus seven in there, 112 00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:16.799 but some of that could just be wrong plays, wrong time. Uh. 113 00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:22.919 It's it's interesting to pick and choose when to use the plus minus. I 114 00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:26.240 tend to do so when there's something positive for the Clippers. It's a tough 115 00:09:26.279 --> 00:09:30.120 stat because you could be the guy on the court that just happened to be 116 00:09:30.159 --> 00:09:31.799 there when somebody else got hot and went on a run like the Marta Rose, 117 00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:35.480 and then it could have nothing to do with you. You understand what 118 00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:39.240 I'm saying. No, no, I'm inderstaying, But I mean the way 119 00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:43.360 the way I'm looking at the way the Clopers aretaining lately. This is this 120 00:09:43.399 --> 00:09:48.480 is my opinion. I don't know, but the last four minutes these five 121 00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:52.159 players should be playing the last four minutes, Riggie Jackson, but Tune Cumpington, 122 00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:58.919 Paul George and Luke Pernard. I mean, this is even without Kawai 123 00:10:00.799 --> 00:10:05.399 and how so it just I don't know why he has Morris playing the last 124 00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:09.559 four minutes. As soon as he came in the game, Adam I was 125 00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:11.360 like, oh man, here you go, and look what happened. They 126 00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:16.320 lost the lead, but you know it is what it is. All right, 127 00:10:16.879 --> 00:10:18.200 we'll talk to you tomorrow. I just I just had to get that 128 00:10:18.240 --> 00:10:22.519 off my chest, all right, ibber, I appreciate it. Look, 129 00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:26.159 Paul George was a minus night out there. Are you gonna say you don't 130 00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:30.000 want him in the game. He was the one trying to will them to 131 00:10:30.080 --> 00:10:33.360 victory late and had eight of their last ten points before Rocco hit a couple 132 00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:39.080 of free throws late in regulation. But it's a gut punch. It's just 133 00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:43.960 one of those heartbreaking losses that shouldn't happen and don't very often to the Clippers, 134 00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:48.679 where a team comes back on them and they let up. But it 135 00:10:48.720 --> 00:10:54.120 did tonight and to Marta Rosen was special. Put up a fifty spot as 136 00:10:54.159 --> 00:10:58.720 good as Reggie Jackson was, as good as Morris was at times as good 137 00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:01.639 as Paul George was down the stretch tomorrow, was the best player on the 138 00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:05.039 floor tonight, And sometimes you gotta tip your cap and say, okay, 139 00:11:05.480 --> 00:11:09.120 by the way they were plus nineteen, that was the best in the plus 140 00:11:09.159 --> 00:11:13.639 MNA's category when DeMar dear Rosen was out there, which all right, that 141 00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:16.840 makes sense. That lines up with the eye test. Obviously, the guy 142 00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:20.480 played forty three minutes. Clippers had their chances, but they ran out of 143 00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:24.240 time, and Paul George did with the minutes restriction in his second game back 144 00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:28.919 after missing three and a half months. Maybe it's different if he's there with 145 00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:33.600 them in overtime. Maybe it's different if one of those four whistles I mentioned 146 00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:37.360 do not go against the Clippers in a game this closed down the stretch, 147 00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:43.679 those calls were impactful. And I don't say much about the refs ever on 148 00:11:43.799 --> 00:11:50.039 here, but look, that two minute report is going to be ugly in 149 00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:52.759 favor of the Chicago Bulls when it comes out tomorrow. It just is. 150 00:11:54.639 --> 00:11:58.080 And Terrence Man's a good defender, and I don't have a problem with him 151 00:11:58.120 --> 00:12:03.519 going up against Demard Rosen there and I he barely touched him. You just 152 00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:07.159 never see that call. It's just rare and revs can have an off night 153 00:12:07.200 --> 00:12:11.039 too. It happens, Clippers will lose one thirty five to one thirty and 154 00:12:11.159 --> 00:12:15.960 overtime in Chicago. They're in Milwaukee tomorrow. Coming up on the show, 155 00:12:15.960 --> 00:12:18.559 we'll hear from Coach Lou. Doctor Shap will be here from the Lob, 156 00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:24.080 the Jam, the pod tough onhe Clipper National. We'll get back to your 157 00:12:24.120 --> 00:12:26.559 phone calls. Eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy eight six six 158 00:12:26.679 --> 00:12:30.960 nine eight seven two five seventy is the phone number of Madam Oslin and this 159 00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:35.720 is a five seventy. Other sports in the pack to school and now you 160 00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:41.919 fellas we will go? Is this elementary in the clump Timer Hawks slam. 161 00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:46.120 You're listening to Los Angeles Clippers basketball. He goes all the way of the 162 00:12:46.200 --> 00:12:54.159 ram a sky scraping jams. This is the official home of your LA Clippers. 163 00:12:54.480 --> 00:13:07.279 Baby Mom was mom? Yeah, Miss Jackson, mister Jackson. Reggie 164 00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:11.679 had thirty four, but the Clippers loses. Demarg Rosen has fifty and the 165 00:13:11.720 --> 00:13:18.399 Bulls win in OT one thirty five to one thirty after the Clippers led by 166 00:13:18.440 --> 00:13:24.919 as many as sixteen led by three seven point two seconds left. They let 167 00:13:24.919 --> 00:13:28.759 this one get away from them. A couple of bad calls went against them. 168 00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:33.080 I know there's gonna be some frustration tonight Clipper Nation. I can completely 169 00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:41.000 understand that because I'm not really used to seeing the Clippers be the victims of 170 00:13:41.039 --> 00:13:43.120 a team coming back on them. Let shoes on the other foot now, 171 00:13:45.480 --> 00:13:50.000 and they played well enough to win this game. Eight sixty six nine eight 172 00:13:50.039 --> 00:13:54.840 seven two five seventy eight six six ninety eight seven two five seventy. We'll 173 00:13:54.879 --> 00:13:58.960 hear from coach lou coming up. I'm interested to hear what he said about 174 00:13:58.960 --> 00:14:03.159 the officiating. Lady. Now, I don't have to worry about getting fined, 175 00:14:03.480 --> 00:14:05.720 my man, Yes, you do all right, well in a way. 176 00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:11.600 I have to watch my words. But four calls, awful calls, 177 00:14:11.759 --> 00:14:16.279 tiki tech weeak calls on the Clippers, and then that continuation or they called 178 00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:20.039 it in the act of shooting with Tomarta Rosen and overtime that wasn't even close. 179 00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:24.559 It's tough one to swallow, all right, Tags and Walnut, you're 180 00:14:24.559 --> 00:14:30.080 on Clippers stop without amslin Hey, tags, and I don't hold your breath 181 00:14:30.159 --> 00:14:33.879 on a on a two minute report Man, the NBA doubles down on ninety 182 00:14:33.879 --> 00:14:37.720 percent of their calls. Yeah, that happens as well sometimes, but some 183 00:14:37.759 --> 00:14:41.360 of these were so blatently awful. I could see the call with Terrence Man 184 00:14:43.320 --> 00:14:46.679 them somehow saying yeah, there was there was enough contact there. You can 185 00:14:46.679 --> 00:14:50.879 always find something. It's such a judgment call. But the offensive foul and 186 00:14:50.919 --> 00:14:56.240 Marcus Morrison overtime and Demarta Rosen getting that called a shooting foul was just bizarre. 187 00:14:58.600 --> 00:15:03.240 Yeah, I mean it kind of reminds me back of that Cleaning game 188 00:15:03.240 --> 00:15:07.919 where a mirror guff followed at the end and NBA Tuman reports there wasn't a 189 00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:13.840 foul. Then the Toronto game kind of got flashbacks of those with these calls. 190 00:15:13.919 --> 00:15:16.440 Yeah, that a mirror one. Yeah, that's a great point. 191 00:15:18.159 --> 00:15:22.200 That was, without a doubt, an easy call and it was not made. 192 00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:26.200 And I always say, look, call it the same way for forty 193 00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:31.600 eight minutes so players aren't thrown off. Just give them consistency out there. 194 00:15:31.639 --> 00:15:37.000 Don't swallow your whistle late just because you don't want to affect the game or 195 00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:41.679 you feel like you're the one making the decision or getting a team a win 196 00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:46.039 or a loss. Because if you don't make the same calls you're making earlier 197 00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:50.639 in the game, you're also deciding the game to some extent. That's how 198 00:15:50.679 --> 00:15:56.159 I feel about it. Oh, I agree. Before getting to my point, 199 00:15:56.519 --> 00:16:00.600 I wanted to on that after the week, here's Niffel. So when 200 00:16:00.960 --> 00:16:04.440 when Rosa shot that three, where did they call the fell? Was it 201 00:16:04.519 --> 00:16:08.559 that he didn't let him land? Pete didn't let the Rosa land or was 202 00:16:08.600 --> 00:16:12.000 it up top on his hand? Because I got to see the replay briefly, 203 00:16:12.559 --> 00:16:15.120 it looked like he's just landed clean. I mean, I mean there 204 00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:18.120 was no contact. I mean, yeah, I mean it's got to be 205 00:16:18.159 --> 00:16:25.360 impeding landing space. It's it's the Kauai Zaza Petulia rule. Uh from twenty 206 00:16:25.440 --> 00:16:30.919 seventeen. That because I didn't see any contact outside that. Yeah, And 207 00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:40.080 okay, moving on from though that frustrating final ten seconds, I was gonna 208 00:16:40.120 --> 00:16:45.279 ask you one, what did you think about Tyler coined that time out when 209 00:16:45.279 --> 00:16:49.440 Covington got the offensive rebound. I wasn't thrilled about that time out usually, 210 00:16:49.840 --> 00:16:53.080 you know, kind of like what Tyler really does. But I thought it 211 00:16:53.120 --> 00:16:57.000 didn't really come into effect, you know, during this game. But I 212 00:16:57.039 --> 00:17:00.559 thought that was the curious timeout because they didn't have any more timeouts. They 213 00:17:00.600 --> 00:17:04.279 had to they were going to play that foul game at that time. I 214 00:17:04.319 --> 00:17:07.599 could have came in, Andy, what'd you think about that? Yeah, 215 00:17:07.640 --> 00:17:11.799 in hindsight, they're up three, it's one fourteen to one to eleven. 216 00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:15.240 He calls that time out with forty seconds left, But I'm sure he just 217 00:17:15.319 --> 00:17:21.559 wanted to reiterate or remind the guys situational basketball and exactly what they're gonna do, 218 00:17:22.359 --> 00:17:26.440 and unfortunately it ended up. I love the idea. I never want 219 00:17:26.440 --> 00:17:27.839 to see a team get off a three point or down three when you could 220 00:17:27.839 --> 00:17:32.880 foul and put them to the free throw line. But obviously they thought Terrence 221 00:17:32.960 --> 00:17:37.640 Man jumped the gun, fouling before the ball was inbounded. Foul away from 222 00:17:37.640 --> 00:17:41.359 the play is called one shot and the ball. That was just disastrous. 223 00:17:41.480 --> 00:17:45.599 It was just it was a nightmare. Uh yeah. And I'm guessing now 224 00:17:45.599 --> 00:17:49.799 because usually Taylor lakes to keep that one time out for challenges, and it 225 00:17:49.839 --> 00:17:53.160 would have been nice to challenge that three point foul at the end if they 226 00:17:53.200 --> 00:17:56.920 had to, and see, you know, if the rest would have doubled 227 00:17:56.920 --> 00:18:00.960 down on that. We'll see if coach lu talks about post game he is 228 00:18:02.160 --> 00:18:06.400 has no version of calling himself out when there are mistakes made. But I 229 00:18:06.440 --> 00:18:08.839 don't know if you could necessarily say that was a mistake. It was a 230 00:18:08.960 --> 00:18:15.480 different philosophy and it didn't pan out this time because really other external factors that 231 00:18:15.519 --> 00:18:21.960 went against them. I would say, yeah, And the positive is it's 232 00:18:22.079 --> 00:18:26.039 nice to see, well, two things one before I think about the positives. 233 00:18:26.039 --> 00:18:32.839 I didn't like five, but all right, I didn't like. I 234 00:18:32.920 --> 00:18:34.480 like the execution when they were driving, kind of running the plays. A 235 00:18:34.519 --> 00:18:38.720 few times they got two stagnants settled for some outside shots, which I think 236 00:18:38.759 --> 00:18:42.319 they'll get better. Paul George is still getting a rhythm. But positive is 237 00:18:42.759 --> 00:18:47.759 seeing Roco, the toomb and PG on the floor together and the defensive end 238 00:18:47.880 --> 00:18:52.119 really creates have it nasty. All right, thank you, tag, I 239 00:18:52.160 --> 00:18:55.599 appreciate the phone call. Yeah, those three with the length they have even 240 00:18:56.319 --> 00:18:59.160 it's funny. Coach Lewis talked about this before, but when we go small, 241 00:18:59.200 --> 00:19:04.240 we're still big because of just the wingspan and the wings stop. As 242 00:19:04.279 --> 00:19:10.119 Clipper Nation likes to call this team, the versatility out there with long athletic 243 00:19:10.200 --> 00:19:15.960 defenders, just a bunch of Scottie Pippins and Roco h It's like he was 244 00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:19.119 born at Clipper. I don't know if he's played even ten games yet. 245 00:19:19.799 --> 00:19:23.759 I'm gonna say no as a Clipper, but man, has he been good 246 00:19:23.799 --> 00:19:29.119 for this team and hopefully they figure out a way to keep him long term. 247 00:19:29.359 --> 00:19:32.920 All Right, Tay's just there home. Now it's gonna Morris and long 248 00:19:32.960 --> 00:19:36.799 beach. Morris, what's up, hey, Adam, check this out. 249 00:19:36.799 --> 00:19:38.759 I'm gonna tell what was different about this game tonight. The Clippers wasn't playing 250 00:19:38.799 --> 00:19:41.720 from behind tonight. Okay, that was a difference, and I believe, 251 00:19:41.759 --> 00:19:44.839 believe it. They're gonna be all right, They're gonna be okay. They 252 00:19:44.920 --> 00:19:48.319 were up ten after the first quarter. Morris, it was like cats and 253 00:19:48.359 --> 00:19:52.640 dogs living together. Everything was upside down. The Clippers actually got off to 254 00:19:52.640 --> 00:19:55.680 a hot start. Well, they're showing you what the what the what? 255 00:19:55.720 --> 00:19:56.960 The team came to do what they can do. No, Powell's coming back 256 00:19:56.960 --> 00:20:00.160 because we got another soldier coming back. Now. I don't really want to 257 00:20:00.200 --> 00:20:04.000 say that. Chicago's told this game the Utah Metropolitan Police they're looking for the 258 00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:07.559 Clippers right now. Okay, you saw what the Clippers did in Utah. 259 00:20:07.640 --> 00:20:10.759 It happens to everybody, and what happened to us in this overtime game was 260 00:20:10.799 --> 00:20:14.079 we lost our All Star, but they had theirs. I believe me, 261 00:20:14.160 --> 00:20:17.880 if you had your boy PG thirteen on the four, we would have won 262 00:20:17.960 --> 00:20:19.839 this game. But I'm in press because we wasn't playing from behind. So 263 00:20:19.960 --> 00:20:23.880 that's an improvement. Thanks for this time, Adam behave yourself, Morris, 264 00:20:23.920 --> 00:20:29.160 thank you. I'd try. Yeah, they're still not fully loaded. It 265 00:20:29.400 --> 00:20:33.960 does sound like Norman Powell will rejoin the team at some point here at the 266 00:20:33.039 --> 00:20:37.319 end of the regular season, but there's five games remaining. The Clippers actually 267 00:20:37.480 --> 00:20:41.839 to make it eleven straight years. They already have the longest winning streak out 268 00:20:41.880 --> 00:20:47.640 of any NBA team. They've been above five hundred for ten straight seasons. 269 00:20:47.680 --> 00:20:49.839 They're trying to make it eleven. But now to do so, they're gonna 270 00:20:49.839 --> 00:20:53.680 have to run the table. They gonna have to win their last five games, 271 00:20:53.720 --> 00:20:57.559 and I don't know what the sense of urgency is going to be with 272 00:20:57.640 --> 00:21:04.119 that. When you're pretty locked in and entrenched and embedded VTB style into that 273 00:21:04.240 --> 00:21:08.359 eighth seed, it looks like they're gonna be there whether or not they win 274 00:21:08.480 --> 00:21:14.000 five straight or lose five straight. Now they'll probably have to win at least 275 00:21:14.000 --> 00:21:18.440 a couple more to make sure the Pelicans don't catch up to them, or 276 00:21:18.480 --> 00:21:22.559 the Lakers or the Spurs. But all those three are all three of those 277 00:21:22.559 --> 00:21:26.880 scenarios pretty unlikely. All right, we'll take a quick time out. We'll 278 00:21:26.880 --> 00:21:30.640 come back. We'll get to more of your phone calls. Jose hold on, 279 00:21:30.759 --> 00:21:33.200 mystery caller, hold on, we'll get to you at eight six six 280 00:21:33.319 --> 00:21:37.119 nine eight seven two five seventy eight six six ninety eight seven two five seventy 281 00:21:37.400 --> 00:21:41.480 hunting for that coach low audio Doctor Shap will be here next from the Lob, 282 00:21:41.559 --> 00:21:45.000 the Jam the Pod.

How you doing tonight better than the last two minute 297 00:23:14.960 --> 00:23:19.000 report is going to be doing? Look am I wrong for saying there were 298 00:23:19.039 --> 00:23:22.920 four brutal calls? The foul away from the play on Terrence Man, the 299 00:23:22.960 --> 00:23:29.079 PG foul on Demarta Rosen on the three de Marcus Moore's offensive rebound. Never 300 00:23:29.079 --> 00:23:30.599 saw a replay of it, but didn't look like much in overtime, and 301 00:23:30.640 --> 00:23:37.079 then Demarta Rosen gets an active shooting call, where in no way was he 302 00:23:37.119 --> 00:23:38.599 putting that ball up as he was just driving down the lane. It looked 303 00:23:38.599 --> 00:23:44.279 like who's about to pass into somebody? A kickout? Maybe this was as 304 00:23:44.359 --> 00:23:48.279 bad outside the Cleveland game and how that ended with a mere coffee not getting 305 00:23:48.279 --> 00:23:52.400 the call. It was just a tough night overall for the officials and the 306 00:23:52.440 --> 00:23:56.119 Clippers not exactly being on the right side of some of them. Yeah, 307 00:23:56.200 --> 00:24:00.960 I mean those last two calls, the Marcus offensive foul and the and the 308 00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:06.480 Reggie and the region I guess they called that was called a continuation are shooting 309 00:24:06.519 --> 00:24:11.759 foul? That that was kind of ridiculous, honestly, Terrence. I saw 310 00:24:11.799 --> 00:24:14.319 the replay. I saw the replays right in front of the ref and he 311 00:24:14.359 --> 00:24:17.759 was a little bit handsy. It's it's it's one of those that if it 312 00:24:17.759 --> 00:24:19.880 didn't happen like I wouldn't be surprised, But if I saw a replay at 313 00:24:19.880 --> 00:24:22.880 my oh boy, he was. He was a little bit touchy on it. 314 00:24:22.960 --> 00:24:26.240 I kind of get why they called it in the PG one not not 315 00:24:26.400 --> 00:24:30.799 enough airspace on that triple. I think there's more of a debate with those 316 00:24:30.839 --> 00:24:34.000 two. The last couple were were not great, especially that offensive foul, 317 00:24:34.039 --> 00:24:38.119 and I'm not really getting too mad at the refs for this one. I 318 00:24:38.119 --> 00:24:41.319 think the Clippers kind of shot themselves in the foot a little bit on that 319 00:24:41.480 --> 00:24:47.480 last play unfortunately, and yeah, it just wasn't there n you know, 320 00:24:47.559 --> 00:24:52.680 honestly shooting fifty forty ninety splits for the team. It's it's it's tough to 321 00:24:52.799 --> 00:24:55.839 imagine that the Clippers would have lost that game, but when you got that 322 00:24:55.920 --> 00:25:00.559 kid from Compton going off for fifty, uh, it would have and surprising 323 00:25:00.559 --> 00:25:03.400 if they lost that game too, then him kind of dragging them across the 324 00:25:03.400 --> 00:25:06.920 finish line. They were a desperate team. Kudas to DVR. He was 325 00:25:07.000 --> 00:25:10.960 great to show you how much the Clippers really wanted to how much of this 326 00:25:11.039 --> 00:25:14.400 was like a win over process because George didn't play the last five minutes, 327 00:25:14.440 --> 00:25:18.160 so they really just wanted to get good process out there for those first three 328 00:25:18.200 --> 00:25:21.440 quarters. I think they did it. There was a little bit too much 329 00:25:21.480 --> 00:25:26.880 of maybe George just taking Caruso in isolation in those last few possessions in the 330 00:25:26.920 --> 00:25:32.160 fourth quarter, he actually finally kicked it out to Reggie and Reggie got as 331 00:25:32.240 --> 00:25:36.119 clean of a look as I'll take. I mean, that shot would have 332 00:25:36.160 --> 00:25:40.480 closed the game right there, and it was just off and that was the 333 00:25:40.480 --> 00:25:42.400 good stuff you wanted to see instead of maybe taking you know, one of 334 00:25:42.400 --> 00:25:47.400 the best perimeter defenders in the league in isolation, and Paul George had a 335 00:25:47.400 --> 00:25:49.720 couple of midies that didn't work out from against it was Caruso, who was 336 00:25:49.799 --> 00:25:55.880 just a beast on defense. What a way on a second night in on 337 00:25:55.920 --> 00:25:59.920 the road to have Caruso just up in his chest that whole fourth quarter, 338 00:26:00.480 --> 00:26:03.839 especially with George initiating that fourth quarter over Terrence Man. It's just it's a 339 00:26:03.880 --> 00:26:07.400 tough loss, and I think it's going to hurt a lot of Clipper fans 340 00:26:07.440 --> 00:26:10.880 now, but I'm hoping in the grand scheme of things, it's just going 341 00:26:10.960 --> 00:26:14.680 to be an unfortunate loss, but a lot of good process and a lot 342 00:26:14.720 --> 00:26:18.480 of good film to review and just kind of stings a lot more than it 343 00:26:18.480 --> 00:26:22.119 will show into standings. Doctor Chap is our guest from the Lab, the 344 00:26:22.200 --> 00:26:26.279 Jam, the Pod after the Clippers losing overtime one thirty five to one hundred 345 00:26:26.319 --> 00:26:32.240 in Chicago, Doctor Chap, you talk about that process, and offensively, 346 00:26:32.359 --> 00:26:36.000 it just looks like, well, Paul George is obviously a cheat code, 347 00:26:36.039 --> 00:26:40.519 but everybody else just gets to sink into their roles a little bit deeper now 348 00:26:41.039 --> 00:26:44.680 and be who they're used to being, be the players and starring in their 349 00:26:44.799 --> 00:26:48.920 roles like they have when they're next to superstars like Kauai and Paul George and 350 00:26:48.960 --> 00:26:53.599 a guy like Norman Powell when he comes back. But offensively obviously you mentioned 351 00:26:53.640 --> 00:26:56.240 the first three quarters. I think they had ninety two points or something like 352 00:26:56.279 --> 00:27:03.160 that through the first thad quarters. They were executing at a very high level. 353 00:27:03.400 --> 00:27:07.119 And to me, the difference was just guys getting cleaner looks off of 354 00:27:07.160 --> 00:27:11.279 Paul George. Yeah, two on the ball at him. It's a difference 355 00:27:11.319 --> 00:27:14.839 when Reggie Jackson and he did. He was valiant in that overtime of getting 356 00:27:14.920 --> 00:27:18.279 to the getting to the paint, collapsing the defense and kicking me out. 357 00:27:18.319 --> 00:27:21.000 He got some good looks out there. Nico be two missed a clean look. 358 00:27:21.799 --> 00:27:26.440 Reggie miss clean look too late in overtime, Aggie, Reggie miss a 359 00:27:26.440 --> 00:27:29.599 clean look. So there were looks, but Reggie, you know, we 360 00:27:29.680 --> 00:27:32.440 saw kind of the difference. Reggie had to really get in the paint and 361 00:27:32.680 --> 00:27:34.920 work off pick and roll and try and really attract the defense there. Paul 362 00:27:34.960 --> 00:27:38.839 George, just by measure of being Paul George, he'll get a screen and 363 00:27:38.920 --> 00:27:44.039 two will come at him right away, and that's going to create open looks 364 00:27:44.039 --> 00:27:47.559 two one the ball. And when you get somebody jumping out to trap Paul 365 00:27:47.640 --> 00:27:51.119 George, who's a good pastor, he's gotten better as a pastor during his 366 00:27:51.160 --> 00:27:53.079 ten year as a clipper, you're going to get open looks. And that's 367 00:27:53.119 --> 00:27:56.200 what we got. We got a lot of clean Reggie looks. He was 368 00:27:56.200 --> 00:27:59.400 six for nine and three. Uh. You know, Nico was four for 369 00:27:59.519 --> 00:28:02.119 eight. Nard was only two for five, which is bad for him. 370 00:28:03.240 --> 00:28:06.680 But you know, we got a ton of great looks. We had a 371 00:28:06.920 --> 00:28:10.319 lot of good Marcus Morris early on. But really just importantly the team was 372 00:28:10.359 --> 00:28:15.279 sixteen for thirty six from what was really good ball movement entirely because teams are 373 00:28:15.319 --> 00:28:18.839 going to trap Paul George, you know, and when teams trap him so 374 00:28:18.960 --> 00:28:22.480 high up and he's able to swing with a bunch of smart heavy players or 375 00:28:22.519 --> 00:28:26.079 even a guy like Hardenstein, who on the short role can find guys because 376 00:28:26.079 --> 00:28:30.319 of his great passing ability, it's going to open things up for everybody. 377 00:28:30.359 --> 00:28:34.480 And we saw all those clean looks thirty six three today, sixteen for thirty 378 00:28:34.480 --> 00:28:37.160 six, and there was just the point of the game where they were just 379 00:28:37.319 --> 00:28:42.079 rolling and unfortunately they didn't pull off this win. But it was really refreshing 380 00:28:42.119 --> 00:28:45.640 to see the Clippers be the Clippers again, and unfortunately they even had some 381 00:28:45.720 --> 00:28:49.240 of the same problems they've had done the stretch of some games with Paul George 382 00:28:49.440 --> 00:28:52.839 where there was a little, maybe a touch of hero ball and not enough 383 00:28:53.160 --> 00:28:56.880 passing away a good shot for a great one. Yeah, you mentioned Hardenstein 384 00:28:57.039 --> 00:29:00.119 on those short roles he had to kick out for the big three for Luke 385 00:29:00.160 --> 00:29:04.640 Kennard. And I looked this up after that because I've been wanting to research 386 00:29:04.720 --> 00:29:08.799 this for a while. But as good as Luke Kennard is shooting forty five 387 00:29:08.839 --> 00:29:12.880 percent from three on the season, he shoots fifty percent from three in fourth 388 00:29:12.960 --> 00:29:17.920 quarters. It was just an eye test. It was just a guess that 389 00:29:18.039 --> 00:29:21.599 he shoots his best latent games because it always feels like he hits a big 390 00:29:21.640 --> 00:29:26.119 three pointer during Clippers comebacks. Obviously did in the twenty five point come back 391 00:29:26.160 --> 00:29:30.000 Tuesday night. But Paul George also had a couple of really nice passes, 392 00:29:30.039 --> 00:29:33.880 a no look pass or Reggie Jackson right underneath the hoop and the third quarter 393 00:29:33.119 --> 00:29:37.359 another kind of no look pass to Isaiah Hartenstein right at the end of a 394 00:29:37.400 --> 00:29:41.000 play for a big dunk. And I know he had five turnovers, but 395 00:29:41.079 --> 00:29:45.440 he had some five. He had five assists that were special. Speaking of 396 00:29:45.680 --> 00:29:48.599 Nick Batoum, and those three blocks, two of them on Zach mcviene. 397 00:29:49.319 --> 00:29:55.000 I mean, he looks as good as ever and he was playing big minutes 398 00:29:55.119 --> 00:29:57.720 thirty eight in this one. But him and Rocco together on the court with 399 00:29:57.759 --> 00:30:02.680 Paul George, even when they go small, they're not really small. It's 400 00:30:02.720 --> 00:30:04.039 different. It's a big small. I think that's what coach lu likes to 401 00:30:04.079 --> 00:30:10.000 say. Yeah, you know, Rocco and Nico, and Nico is playing 402 00:30:10.000 --> 00:30:11.839 on a bomb ankle and he still he still did all this was questionable coming 403 00:30:11.880 --> 00:30:17.880 in those two together. And I have to think that Ty is holding something 404 00:30:18.000 --> 00:30:22.000 by holding Robert Covington to just about twenty or so minutes pretty consistently. I 405 00:30:22.039 --> 00:30:26.319 know he wasn't big on the plus minus for once today, but Rocco out 406 00:30:26.359 --> 00:30:34.720 there with Nico and with Paul George. Just the connectivity on any sort of 407 00:30:34.720 --> 00:30:40.400 help defender on the back line, just kind of knowing where the ball's going 408 00:30:40.519 --> 00:30:42.799 versus you know, if we have a guy like Marcus sometimes makes some mistakes. 409 00:30:44.160 --> 00:30:47.599 That all together, connectivity of the defense just really takes a huge notch 410 00:30:47.720 --> 00:30:49.799 up, and then you have Terrence up there, who's also really heavy defenders 411 00:30:49.839 --> 00:30:55.000 become a better defender. It's it's really exciting to see those three together, 412 00:30:55.039 --> 00:31:00.440 and it's really tantalizing to imagine why Leonard out there with them one of these 413 00:31:00.519 --> 00:31:03.559 days. It's just really really exciting to see them. I know they went 414 00:31:03.599 --> 00:31:07.920 full wingstop very briefly, and to end that quarter, I think it was 415 00:31:07.920 --> 00:31:11.079 a third and or maybe it was a second, I believe, and I 416 00:31:11.119 --> 00:31:15.119 think Lusovic had had a you know, put up a layup and we didn't 417 00:31:15.160 --> 00:31:18.000 really get to see much of it. But it's exciting the idea of them 418 00:31:18.039 --> 00:31:22.960 going small because I think you can make an argument about Robert Covington just being 419 00:31:22.039 --> 00:31:29.920 sometimes even a better all around center quote unquote than Isaiah Harden signed at times, 420 00:31:29.960 --> 00:31:33.920 just because of his rebounding, his defense, you know, just just 421 00:31:34.079 --> 00:31:37.759 his intangibles at heart can bring a lot of on offense, but sometimes it's 422 00:31:37.799 --> 00:31:41.359 up and down on defense. So Covington, I think in the play in 423 00:31:41.480 --> 00:31:47.400 and hopefully the playoffs, is gonna hopefully get an increased role here because everybody 424 00:31:47.480 --> 00:31:51.920 is just dying for it. And I know Tyler and his coaching staff are 425 00:31:51.960 --> 00:31:55.960 going to make sure that they optimize their rotations as much as possible. So 426 00:31:55.960 --> 00:31:57.319 I'm excited for it, and I think Nico was great today. He looked 427 00:31:57.400 --> 00:32:02.039 really spry for somebody who came in questionable, Doctor chaff final one for you. 428 00:32:02.200 --> 00:32:06.319 What else are you looking for in the last five games here from the 429 00:32:06.359 --> 00:32:08.319 Clippers? And we don't know if Paul George is going to be available tomorrow. 430 00:32:08.400 --> 00:32:12.160 I think most people are leaning towards no. It's a back to back. 431 00:32:12.200 --> 00:32:15.119 He just came back. But what type of rhythm or what type of 432 00:32:15.240 --> 00:32:19.599 signs do you need to see from the Clippers to go okay? This team 433 00:32:19.640 --> 00:32:22.519 is ready. They're peaking at the right time or as much as they can 434 00:32:22.640 --> 00:32:27.079 given who's available. I mean, honestly, seeing George at the level that 435 00:32:27.119 --> 00:32:30.279 he was against Utah and even at Flashes today where he was doing a good 436 00:32:30.359 --> 00:32:34.680 job playing decoy, it is really exciting. It'd be great if they could 437 00:32:34.720 --> 00:32:38.039 tighten up a little bit of their process and the fourth quarters, and if 438 00:32:38.079 --> 00:32:43.200 George could, you know, I think hero ball and stuff like that, 439 00:32:43.359 --> 00:32:47.079 especially against a good defender. Sometimes that tends to happen when things are tight 440 00:32:47.160 --> 00:32:52.279 in a fourth quarter and you're getting to clutch time and everything. But it 441 00:32:52.319 --> 00:32:54.559 would be really nice to see some more bad movement in a little bit more 442 00:32:54.960 --> 00:32:59.839 open shots because we have guys around George who can hit hit shots too. 443 00:33:00.519 --> 00:33:04.359 I'm not saying that George doesn't trust everybody. I'm sure he does because it's 444 00:33:04.359 --> 00:33:07.160 Paul George and he's been playing with these guys. But I love the Reggie 445 00:33:07.200 --> 00:33:09.240 Jackson shot. You know, that's a kind of shot. Then when you 446 00:33:09.240 --> 00:33:15.160 have Alex cruising on you and another guy is coming because he's too small to 447 00:33:15.160 --> 00:33:17.240 guard you in the post. That's the kind of stuff that I'd love to 448 00:33:17.240 --> 00:33:22.799 see swung out to rather than a tough mid range jumper from George. It's 449 00:33:22.839 --> 00:33:27.359 just that kind of quiet, subtle process stuff where if somebody if there's a 450 00:33:27.400 --> 00:33:30.279 double coming, you know, swing, swing, swing, all that stuff 451 00:33:30.279 --> 00:33:32.559 that we're used to being beautiful couper basketball, like we saw in a lot 452 00:33:32.599 --> 00:33:37.359 of that third quarter. What's kind of the stuff you want to consistently get 453 00:33:37.559 --> 00:33:39.160 and being able to feel the defense a little bit. It just comes with 454 00:33:39.240 --> 00:33:43.559 reps, and I think a little bit of what broke down in the fourth 455 00:33:43.599 --> 00:33:45.079 quarter you could felt if you open the lack of reps of game was still 456 00:33:45.119 --> 00:33:49.920 Bears if it wasn't for that little bit of a mistake down the stretch. 457 00:33:50.480 --> 00:33:53.839 But it would be nice to see a little bit more of that with George 458 00:33:53.839 --> 00:33:58.440 out there with the lineup, and then hopefully with some luck with Powell maybe 459 00:33:58.519 --> 00:34:01.279 to close the season. But with George and the team, just some more 460 00:34:01.319 --> 00:34:05.599 reps. I think it's just more good process, just more of the stuff 461 00:34:05.640 --> 00:34:07.680 that we love to see with them. You know, if a double's coming 462 00:34:07.680 --> 00:34:10.400 in, George is gonna get doubles, it's get a better shot. It 463 00:34:10.400 --> 00:34:14.159 would be nice to see that a little bit more consistently, because I felt 464 00:34:14.159 --> 00:34:16.519 like the team was just flowing with that in the third quarter, and it 465 00:34:16.840 --> 00:34:22.960 kind of halted a little bit more in that fourth. So that stuff that 466 00:34:22.000 --> 00:34:24.519 you're kind of looking out for, just the stuff that makes you kind of 467 00:34:24.519 --> 00:34:29.280 do like a chef's kiss, you want more of it. Yeah, I 468 00:34:29.320 --> 00:34:31.960 think part of the problem there, Doctor Chap was Paul George had just scored 469 00:34:32.000 --> 00:34:35.840 eight straight, so he thought he had it going, but it was mostly 470 00:34:35.840 --> 00:34:37.760 going to the basketting games, to the free throw line, and yeah, 471 00:34:37.840 --> 00:34:42.239 maybe settled a little bit there that could have had some better shots late, 472 00:34:42.360 --> 00:34:46.039 but hopefully, as you mentioned, good process overall, and this can be 473 00:34:46.079 --> 00:34:50.639 one of those lessons they learn from and they can apply down the stretch here 474 00:34:50.639 --> 00:34:53.519 and into the plane and hopefully into the playoffs. He is doctor Schapp follow 475 00:34:53.599 --> 00:34:58.599 him at the lob the jam. The pod does it with rich Homie Flam, 476 00:34:58.639 --> 00:35:02.440 big Shot, Bob Flam and Luke his hand and Jamal Christopher and who 477 00:35:02.480 --> 00:35:10.559 am I thinking up? Joey Lynn stacked wings stop there too, Doctor shaff, 478 00:35:10.599 --> 00:35:14.880 I appreciate you coming on tonight. Man is always a pleasure, has 479 00:35:14.880 --> 00:35:17.480 always at him coming up next. We got one more time out. We'll 480 00:35:17.480 --> 00:35:21.599 come back. We'll blow out these phone calls eight six six ninety eight seven 481 00:35:21.639 --> 00:35:32.599 two five seventy Jose Zach Clippers lose by five and overtime telephone Clipper Nation. 482 00:35:35.239 --> 00:35:38.280 We'll talk about tomorrow's contest as well. In Milwaukee, you're listening to Clippers 483 00:35:38.280 --> 00:35:44.960 stock. I'm out of Oslin and this ZAM five seventy l A Sports Time, 484 00:35:45.000 --> 00:35:49.639 a Hawks Slam. You're listening to Los Angeles Clippers basketball. He goes 485 00:35:49.679 --> 00:35:53.519 all the way of the ram sky scraping jams. This is the official home 486 00:35:53.599 --> 00:36:01.840 of your LA Clippers Clippers losing overtime by five till one thirty in Chicago. 487 00:36:02.639 --> 00:36:06.719 Welcome back in the Clippers stock. I'm out of Oslin. Before we get 488 00:36:06.719 --> 00:36:10.960 out of here tonight, let's get tippy phone calls Harold in North Hollywood. 489 00:36:12.239 --> 00:36:15.639 Harold, what's up? How are you? I'm good, Harold, good 490 00:36:15.639 --> 00:36:21.840 to time. Question. Yeah, you think we'll see Kawhi Leonard next year 491 00:36:22.000 --> 00:36:28.840 and playing full times? If he's one hundred percent. I think there's a 492 00:36:28.960 --> 00:36:30.320 chance, Harold, we might see him this year. Still, he has 493 00:36:30.360 --> 00:36:35.440 not been shut down for the season, so well, what's the chances of 494 00:36:35.480 --> 00:36:38.320 him coming back this season? Who would you give the percentage? Oh, 495 00:36:38.480 --> 00:36:40.719 I don't want to put a number on it, and I'm just hopeful. 496 00:36:40.800 --> 00:36:45.920 I'm just trying to be optimistic here. But we saw that workout a couple 497 00:36:45.920 --> 00:36:50.320 of weeks ago in Golden State. He was doing a shoot around for an 498 00:36:50.320 --> 00:36:53.840 hour in front of the media. And he's almost at nine months removed from 499 00:36:53.840 --> 00:36:59.360 the surgery partial ACL tear. Hoping for the best. We'll see. Let's 500 00:36:59.400 --> 00:37:02.559 go to Zach in Long Beach. Zach, you're on Clippers stock. What's 501 00:37:02.599 --> 00:37:07.079 up? What's a salty? A big sand by the way, appreciate you 502 00:37:07.119 --> 00:37:10.800 holding it down for Clippers Mason all these years. I just want to know 503 00:37:10.880 --> 00:37:15.440 you were talking about we have to run the table to go above five hundred, 504 00:37:16.159 --> 00:37:20.440 obviously not likely with the back to back Milwaukee tomorrow. Do you think 505 00:37:20.480 --> 00:37:23.239 that's something that could be like the final mail that doesn't get Tylu Coach of 506 00:37:23.280 --> 00:37:25.800 the Year, or as Taylor Jenkins kind of already wrapped it up, what 507 00:37:25.800 --> 00:37:30.360 do you think. I think it's likely Taylor Jenkins. I thought JB. 508 00:37:30.519 --> 00:37:34.440 Bickerstaff might have it, and that was the vote from coach lu of course 509 00:37:34.679 --> 00:37:37.320 too humble, you ain't gonna vote for himself. But earlier in the season 510 00:37:37.360 --> 00:37:40.559 when Cleveland, you know, they were in the top four in the East, 511 00:37:40.679 --> 00:37:45.320 but they've fallen off. They've had some injuries too. I think Memphis 512 00:37:45.320 --> 00:37:49.760 being the two seed and what they've been able to do without John Morant going 513 00:37:50.000 --> 00:37:53.880 nineteen in two. I think it's Taylor Jenkins. We know how good of 514 00:37:53.920 --> 00:37:58.920 a coach though Coach Luiz and the way he has maximized the talent on this 515 00:37:59.320 --> 00:38:04.280 with this squad all season long, and I wouldn't want anybody else. Ye 516 00:38:06.039 --> 00:38:08.800 like it's Tylu. I'm comfortable with it being Taylor Drinking's big bad man. 517 00:38:08.800 --> 00:38:12.079 Hope to get that followed back on Twitter one day. I appreciate you. 518 00:38:12.280 --> 00:38:14.800 Oh, hit me up. I'll follow you back, Zach. Let's go 519 00:38:15.039 --> 00:38:17.519 to Jose and south Gate to close things out. I'm at follow Adam a 520 00:38:17.679 --> 00:38:22.760 on Twitter. By the way, Jose, what's up? What's up? 521 00:38:22.840 --> 00:38:23.719 Adam? Hey? First of all, I'll have a Twitter, but one 522 00:38:23.760 --> 00:38:27.920 day I will catch you at the game one seventeen section. I'll see you 523 00:38:27.960 --> 00:38:31.199 soon. Anyways, at him, man, it's no, it's no tough 524 00:38:31.280 --> 00:38:35.159 loss. I didn't I didn't even look at the Lakers score real quick. 525 00:38:35.199 --> 00:38:37.639 To me, you feel better, But it took a fifty piece and a 526 00:38:37.679 --> 00:38:40.599 bad call. And I think, I don't know if you or Noah said 527 00:38:40.599 --> 00:38:45.280 it, but we're being out reinbounded at the same time, and we still 528 00:38:45.320 --> 00:38:47.360 put up all this. We put up a fight, and you know, 529 00:38:47.440 --> 00:38:51.719 Paul George's Matt. But I take you to the next game. There's one 530 00:38:51.760 --> 00:38:53.840 thing I want to say. We are gonna win tomorrow, and we are 531 00:38:53.880 --> 00:38:58.760 gonna win the last games because a lot of teams are shooting in their superstars 532 00:38:58.800 --> 00:39:00.880 down getting a ready. We're not. We're not where you know, we're 533 00:39:00.920 --> 00:39:05.880 already rolling. Paul Georges is hopping back into the Hopscott thing, you know, 534 00:39:06.239 --> 00:39:12.039 and we're going baby Let's dog Clippers, Jose and south Gate to close 535 00:39:12.079 --> 00:39:15.760 things out there more positivity. He's got the Clippers winning in Milwaukee tomorrow, 536 00:39:15.800 --> 00:39:19.920 and it's a good point. As tough as the schedule is in these last 537 00:39:19.960 --> 00:39:24.119 five outside the last two Okay See and Sacramento Kings, both I've been struggling 538 00:39:24.159 --> 00:39:30.360 this season, but these next three games against tough teams that may not have 539 00:39:30.400 --> 00:39:35.159 a lot to play for it. So we'll see Clippers losing OT one thirty 540 00:39:35.159 --> 00:39:39.079 five to one thirty. They're in Milwaukee tomorrow, tip time at five Clippers 541 00:39:39.119 --> 00:39:43.320 count down for youa same time four pm.
