00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:04.440
The game is over. Paul George
money in the pain, but the postgame

2
00:00:04.480 --> 00:00:09.919
reaction has just begot Kawhi Leonard is
so smooth in the mid range. This

3
00:00:10.160 --> 00:00:14.039
is Clippers locker Room, a recap
of today's game and a look ahead on

4
00:00:14.119 --> 00:00:18.920
your hope for LA Clippers basketball.
And now your host, You, sir,

5
00:00:19.120 --> 00:00:24.760
are a bad man, Adam Ousley. The Clippers fall once again in

6
00:00:24.839 --> 00:00:29.399
Okay see final score Thunder one eighteen. You're Los Angeles Clippers one ten.

7
00:00:29.519 --> 00:00:33.119
Welcome into your postgame show. Coming
up, we'll get to your postgame box

8
00:00:33.159 --> 00:00:36.000
score. You'll hear from the head
coach and the players after this one.

9
00:00:36.039 --> 00:00:39.359
But first back to Oklahoma City and
back to your voice of the Clippers,

10
00:00:39.399 --> 00:00:42.840
Noah Eagle. Now it just feels
like right now, this Clippers team,

11
00:00:42.840 --> 00:00:46.880
if it's not one thing, it's
another. But the turnovers, the lack

12
00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:50.280
of boards, giving up twelve offensive
rebounds once again to Okay. See,

13
00:00:50.280 --> 00:00:52.679
if they don't start doing the little
things, it doesn't matter who they play

14
00:00:52.679 --> 00:00:56.960
out there. It's exactly right,
Adam, it's just the margins. The

15
00:00:57.000 --> 00:01:02.359
margins are the key. So in
this game, twenty turnovers results in thirty

16
00:01:02.439 --> 00:01:08.079
one Oklahoma City Thunder points, twelve
offensive Thunder rebounds result in twenty one second

17
00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:11.920
chance points. That's your game right
there. Then we go to the three

18
00:01:11.959 --> 00:01:18.120
point shooting seventeen of thirty eight.
Listen, I'm not saying that the Oklahoma

19
00:01:18.159 --> 00:01:21.920
City Thunder are gonna fetti whop every
game, but they're a good enough three

20
00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:25.159
point shooting team. They've got good
enough shooters that you just can't leave them

21
00:01:25.159 --> 00:01:27.560
open. And that's what the Clippers
did tonight. They didn't rotate the right

22
00:01:27.599 --> 00:01:32.079
way. They were just leaving guys
wide open and letting them shoot. And

23
00:01:32.120 --> 00:01:34.359
they got away with it on Tuesday, ironically, when Oklahoma City only made

24
00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:38.319
four threes, but tonight wasn't.
In the case, You're not going to

25
00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:41.400
get away with it time and time
again. And so back to the drawing

26
00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:42.680
board for the Clippers. There were
positives in this one, though I thought

27
00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:47.400
Norman Powell was a positive of itsa
Zubots continues to be a positive, and

28
00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:51.640
Reggie Jackson's a positive. John Wall
had some positive moments, So there were

29
00:01:51.640 --> 00:01:55.599
positives here. But the Clippers,
they are so much more than moral victories.

30
00:01:55.840 --> 00:01:59.280
This season, especially, this is
title or bust to the max,

31
00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:02.719
and you feel like the Clippers are
still a long way away again early season.

32
00:02:02.920 --> 00:02:06.920
You look back at Phoenix last year, they started like this, they

33
00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:08.759
ended with sixty four wins. Now
they didn't win the title, so you

34
00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:13.479
can't necessarily say the same thing like
that. But I think the Clippers this

35
00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:16.159
to me, if this isn't the
wake up call that they can use,

36
00:02:16.479 --> 00:02:20.479
I'm not really sure what is.
Yeah, how about the Boston Celtics last

37
00:02:20.479 --> 00:02:23.680
season, they had a bad first
half, they got to the NBA Finals,

38
00:02:23.719 --> 00:02:27.479
they turned it around. But more
about Norman Powell and what you were

39
00:02:27.479 --> 00:02:30.879
talking about there, because if this
does carry over, this was the Norman

40
00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:34.840
Powell we expected from Game one,
and he looked like himself. And I

41
00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:38.360
thought, especially that throwdown in the
second half over multiple Thunder players, that

42
00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:42.159
may have been a big moment for
him, no question about it. Twenty

43
00:02:42.199 --> 00:02:45.159
one points on the night in thirty
one minutes, nine to fifteen shooting.

44
00:02:45.479 --> 00:02:47.479
If this Norman and Powell is out
there when Paul George and Kawhi Leonard,

45
00:02:47.479 --> 00:02:51.560
and I'll be honest with you,
I thought one of the biggest absences for

46
00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:53.879
these two games was Marcus Morris.
I think it was a combination of a

47
00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:58.319
few things. One on Tuesday when
the Clippers needed a big bucket. That's

48
00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:00.520
what he does. You give it
to him in that mid post area,

49
00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:02.240
He's gonna find a way to get
you either two points or hit a big

50
00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:06.400
three in a big moment. Two. It's the toughness, right that offensive

51
00:03:06.439 --> 00:03:08.199
rebounding. He would not have let
that stand. He would have let that

52
00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:12.159
just find. He would have found
a way to make sure that didn't happen.

53
00:03:12.199 --> 00:03:14.520
And so I think those are some
of the little things that are missing,

54
00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:17.080
the intangibles that Mark has brought them. And certainly the boardman he wasn't

55
00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:21.159
gonna make sure. He was gonna
make sure that Oklahoma City wasn't gonna get

56
00:03:21.199 --> 00:03:24.240
themselves those level of rebounds. But
it's hard right now. It's just it's

57
00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:30.000
very hard because the Clippers technically they
didn't have major injuries or anything like that

58
00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:32.960
like they did last year, but
they have restrictions on their guys. And

59
00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:37.879
John Walls still only played twenty one
minutes tonight despite having seventeen points, six

60
00:03:37.919 --> 00:03:40.560
assists, and four rebounds in the
twenty one minutes, and Kawhi Leonard when

61
00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:44.800
he's played, has only played about
twenty minutes in those games. It hasn't

62
00:03:44.800 --> 00:03:47.319
started, so it's thrown off the
rotations. It's just it's little things that

63
00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:51.759
are adding up on one another.
And I think the Clippers, again,

64
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:55.360
I would much rather this happen now. But with that being said, you

65
00:03:55.479 --> 00:03:58.919
need to fix it. And I
think that's what they're going to be defined

66
00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:01.879
as. It's never you're never defined
by your mistakes. You're always defined by

67
00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:04.879
how you fix them or you don't, and how you react to those errors.

68
00:04:05.080 --> 00:04:09.120
So if the Clippers can react positively, this can be the best thing

69
00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:12.039
to happen to the team. But
they have to react the right way.

70
00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:15.080
They have to figure it out,
and they've got two days of practice now

71
00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:18.319
back home to really get back to
the drawing board and start to diagnose some

72
00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:21.839
of these main issues and start to
figure out what the best solution for all

73
00:04:21.839 --> 00:04:25.879
of them is. We'll see if
the Clippers can respond. Sunday tip off

74
00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:29.399
at noon and downtown Los Angeles.
They're taking on the New Orleans Pelicans.

75
00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:33.120
Well, if your Clippers pregame shows
starting at eleven to Noah EGO, great

76
00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:36.560
call is always safe travels. We'll
see you back in Los Angeles. Oh

77
00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:41.439
man, gonna be all over.
Can't wait at him. Coming up next,

78
00:04:41.439 --> 00:04:44.439
we get to your post game box
score. Clippers fall one eighteen to

79
00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:46.120
one ten and okay, see to
the thunder. And this is the Los

80
00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:54.079
Angeles Clippers where you know that one? Don't, I don't, you're rubbing

81
00:04:54.120 --> 00:05:01.040
it. Let's have guys list enough
jokes. Oh Paul Joe LA Clippers basketball

82
00:05:01.160 --> 00:05:06.879
continue his pains as he carries the
three on the home of your LA Clippers.

83
00:05:14.040 --> 00:05:21.959
If the Clippers they're falling both games
to the thunder, welcome back into

84
00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:27.800
your post game show. I'm Adam
Oslins still succumb. We'll have postgame reaction

85
00:05:27.959 --> 00:05:30.680
in audio from the head coach and
the players after this one. But remember

86
00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:35.199
tonight's ball game was brought sponsored in
part by the California Department of Public Health.

87
00:05:35.319 --> 00:05:40.879
Keep your immunity strong with the updated
and most protective COVID nineteen booster find

88
00:05:40.920 --> 00:05:45.879
one for ages five and up at
My turn dot CA dot gov. And

89
00:05:45.959 --> 00:05:50.959
digging into this box score, it's
tough to rationalize how the Clippers fell apart

90
00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:57.519
in this one until you see the
turnovers nineteen of them Tuesday night, twenty

91
00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:01.879
of them tonight. You can point
out that led to thirty one points for

92
00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:06.360
the Okase Thunder because the Clippers put
up one ten. They had been one

93
00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:10.439
of the best defenses so far this
season, but they give up one hundred

94
00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:14.120
and eighteen points. Is okay See
also got hot from the outside. You

95
00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:17.560
couldn't expect them to be as miserable
as they were shooting wise Tuesday night tonight

96
00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:24.279
and the thunder once you know it
went seventeen of thirty eight from three and

97
00:06:24.399 --> 00:06:29.920
hit big ones. Polkashevski in that
fourth quarter had a couple of them,

98
00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:32.560
and they shoot forty five percent from
the outside. Even though the Clippers overall

99
00:06:32.600 --> 00:06:36.439
shot fifty four percent from the field, they were nine of twenty eight from

100
00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:42.920
three. They didn't get theirs to
go in the fourth and the Clippers defensively

101
00:06:43.519 --> 00:06:46.279
just were not good enough at all
in the second half. They give up

102
00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:49.040
thirty six points in the third quarter
and twenty nine points in the fourth quarters.

103
00:06:49.120 --> 00:06:54.720
So if it's not one thing,
it's another right now, their offense

104
00:06:54.839 --> 00:06:59.319
woke up when they weren't turning the
basketball over. They were more efficient,

105
00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:02.959
but defensively they gave up one hundred
and eighteen points the Okase Thunder. They

106
00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:08.360
lose by eight, lost by fourteen
on Tuesday. They're coming back to downtown

107
00:07:08.360 --> 00:07:12.439
Los Angeles to take on the Pelicans. That's an afternoon contest, tip off

108
00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:15.879
at twelve on Sundays. They got
a couple of days off to practice and

109
00:07:16.040 --> 00:07:19.600
regroup. Here. We'll regroup right
after this quick time out. Coming up

110
00:07:19.600 --> 00:07:24.360
next, we're still looking for postgame

128
00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:39.240
this one for the Clippers, and
this was a positive. Norman Powell goes

129
00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:45.399
for his season high of twenty one
on nine of fifteen shooting. The confidence

130
00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:48.480
looked to be back. He was
attacking the basket, had a big dunk

131
00:08:48.519 --> 00:08:52.120
in the second half we talked about
earlier with Noah Eagle. Reggie Jackson also

132
00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:56.840
shot a much better percentage eight to
thirteen from the field with eighteen points,

133
00:08:58.279 --> 00:09:01.519
had a tough step back jump for
his first mid range jumper of the season

134
00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:05.879
in the fourth quarter, and off
the bench, John Wall was very good

135
00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:09.480
with seventeen points and six assists to
just one turnover. On six of twelve

136
00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:13.799
shooting, and how about a Visa
Zoo Bots once again. This time he

137
00:09:13.799 --> 00:09:18.039
goes for his new career high eighteen
Boards had twelve points, four of nine

138
00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:22.440
shooting. I want to say every
make of his was a dunk. Clippers

139
00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:26.799
fall though, by eight in OKC
to the thunder and SGA, who had

140
00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:30.360
twenty four points, not the thirty
three he had. Tuesday night. Lu

141
00:09:30.440 --> 00:09:33.919
Dort had twenty one and the Clippers
lose one eighteen to one ten. They

142
00:09:35.039 --> 00:09:37.879
fall in both games in OKC.
They're coming back home on Sunday to take

143
00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:41.120
on the New Orleans Pelicans. Tip
time for that one is at noon.

to us on a five seventy LA
Sports outside of Los Angeles, though,

146
00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:58.480

Sunday morning in LA. It's Clippers stock

147
00:09:58.519 --> 00:10:03.120

148
00:10:03.799 --> 00:10:09.440
Welcome into Clippers Talk. Here's a
new shore from town. You won't be

149
00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:11.120
able to denay it. You're going
to go to the NBA Finals. I

150
00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:16.399
believe in my heart this is the
best team in the history of the franchise.

151
00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:22.799

Morrison Long Beach already on hold.
Clippers dropped to two and three on the

161
00:11:20.159 --> 00:11:26.240
season, and instead of responding and
bouncing back like we thought would happened Tuesday

162
00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:28.519
night when we talk to you about
that fourteen point loss against Okay. See

163
00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:35.399
tonight they get down by eighteen in
the first quarter. They cut it to

164
00:11:35.559 --> 00:11:43.519
ten going into the second, but
down eighteen after what we just saw Tuesday

165
00:11:43.639 --> 00:11:48.159
night, and if you're on hold, we'll screen your phone calls for you.

166
00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:54.960
Hold on for us eight six six
nine eight seven two seventy. We

167
00:11:54.960 --> 00:12:01.840
were looking for intensity, and maybe
it wasn't a fact that they weren't playing

168
00:12:01.879 --> 00:12:05.120
hard out there in the first quarter, and I don't think that was the

169
00:12:05.159 --> 00:12:11.200
issue, but they were still sloppy
with it. Nine turnovers in the first

170
00:12:11.679 --> 00:12:16.159
quarter. They outdo themselves. They
had nineteen as a team Tuesday night.

171
00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:22.440
They have twenty as a squad tonight, and nine of those came in the

172
00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:28.320
first quarter to get down by eighteen. And then it looked like things were

173
00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:31.840
clicking in for them. After being
down ten in the first quarter, Norman

174
00:12:31.879 --> 00:12:35.759
Palace started to get it going hit
a couple of three pointers. He started

175
00:12:35.039 --> 00:12:39.559
one for twelve through the first four
games of the season from distance, and

176
00:12:39.600 --> 00:12:43.080
he hit two three pointers in the
second quarter alone. I believe it was

177
00:12:45.159 --> 00:12:48.679
and all of a sudden, the
Clippers started to turn things around offensively.

178
00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:54.279
When they put out this lineup,
it was effective. John Wall, Reggie

179
00:12:54.360 --> 00:12:58.759
Jackson, Paul George, Terrence Mann
and Avizza Zubots out there. After Norm

180
00:12:58.799 --> 00:13:03.320
did some damage with those three pointers. He went to the bench. I

181
00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:07.039
believe it was. John Wallho came
in for him, and the Clippers went

182
00:13:07.080 --> 00:13:09.879
on a run to end the second
quarter. In the last five minutes and

183
00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:16.720
fifty two seconds of the first half, they outscored the Thunder twenty three to

184
00:13:16.879 --> 00:13:22.279
eight, and they led by seven, a twenty five point turnaround after being

185
00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:28.399
down eighteen in the first quarter.
That's how much their offense clicked in.

186
00:13:28.559 --> 00:13:35.879
And it's not a coincidence that they
only had three turnovers in that second quarter.

187
00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:41.399
They got out of their own way
for once, the self inflicted wounds,

188
00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:46.960
the careless turnovers, it looked like
they were starting to clean it up.

189
00:13:48.039 --> 00:13:54.080
And then to start the third quarter
they had three straight offensive fouls,

190
00:13:56.159 --> 00:14:01.840
two by Terrence Man, one by
eVisa Zuba, and all that momentum they

191
00:14:01.879 --> 00:14:07.399
had, they gave it up.
And of those twenty turnovers they had tonight,

192
00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:15.000
well, the Oksey Thunder turned that
into thirty one points. You want

193
00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:18.200
to talk about beating yourself, the
Clippers have been doing it all season long.

194
00:14:18.600 --> 00:14:24.559
In their three losses and even in
the game against the Lakers and in

195
00:14:24.639 --> 00:14:28.559
the game against the Sacramento Kings.
Those were close games down the stretch.

196
00:14:28.639 --> 00:14:35.759
For a reason, Clippers had turnovers. They weren't exactly stepping on the throat

197
00:14:35.759 --> 00:14:41.159
of their opponents. And I know
Paul George was playing hurt. He's coming

198
00:14:41.159 --> 00:14:46.399
off a non COVID related illness.
And they still don't have Kawhi and Marcus

199
00:14:46.440 --> 00:14:50.480
Morris, who I really think it's
sorely missed because he was one of the

200
00:14:50.519 --> 00:14:54.679
few players to start off this season
hot Noah Ego talks about it post game,

201
00:14:54.559 --> 00:15:00.440
wasn't with him on the trip.
If we're gonna talk about this team

202
00:15:00.519 --> 00:15:05.000
having a historically deep bench, they
got to show it on nights like this.

203
00:15:05.759 --> 00:15:09.159
It's not like it was even a
back to back against Okay. See,

204
00:15:09.360 --> 00:15:15.919
they had a day off in between, and they still gave the basketball

205
00:15:15.960 --> 00:15:20.159
away in the first quarter and gave
up wide open three pointers in the fourth

206
00:15:20.240 --> 00:15:24.080
quarter and found a way to lose
to a Thunder team that was zero and

207
00:15:24.200 --> 00:15:31.080
three coming into this two game mini
series against the Clippers, and now they

208
00:15:31.080 --> 00:15:37.399
share the same record with them.
I'm not going to completely freak out because

209
00:15:37.399 --> 00:15:41.960
it's five games into the season.
I told you it's only four games in

210
00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:46.799
Tuesday night, what's one more game? But it is a little bit concerning

211
00:15:48.200 --> 00:15:52.200
to see them offensively be this careless
with the basketball over and over again,

212
00:15:52.679 --> 00:15:58.879
with bad turnovers, not rebound as
a squad, as a team, and

213
00:15:58.960 --> 00:16:03.080
give up twelve of fits of rebounds
leading to twenty one points for the Thunder

214
00:16:03.919 --> 00:16:08.480
And they were still in the game
late and they had chances to win.

215
00:16:08.759 --> 00:16:15.440
And you would have thought the more
seasoned team with Reggie Jackson hitting that big

216
00:16:15.480 --> 00:16:18.480
step back jumper like he did against
the Detroit Pistons when he came back there

217
00:16:18.519 --> 00:16:22.399
for the first time to beat him, I thought that SHOT's gonna carry through.

218
00:16:23.679 --> 00:16:30.480
And instead the Clippers gave up big
time three pointers to Pokashevski, to

219
00:16:30.639 --> 00:16:34.720
Trey Man. Dort hit a couple
of free throws. Sga had a steal

220
00:16:36.120 --> 00:16:41.519
and a layup on just a bad
pass from Viatsa zoobots as good as he

221
00:16:41.639 --> 00:16:47.159
was going for a career high eighteen
boards. That dribble handoff passed he was

222
00:16:47.159 --> 00:16:49.799
trying to make. I want to
say to John Wall Sga just ripped it

223
00:16:49.840 --> 00:16:52.559
away. I don't know what he
was looking at there. You just have

224
00:16:52.759 --> 00:17:00.559
to be better with the basketball.
They will be. But the start off

225
00:17:00.559 --> 00:17:03.960
this season two and three now in
this fashion where offensively they were second to

226
00:17:04.079 --> 00:17:07.480
last, coming into this game.
They put up one hundred and ten points

227
00:17:07.480 --> 00:17:12.599
in this one. They shot fifty
four percent from the field, still just

228
00:17:12.720 --> 00:17:15.759
nine to twenty eight from the outside
after a hot start from three. But

229
00:17:15.920 --> 00:17:21.480
offense wasn't the problem, you could
say, at least when they got shots

230
00:17:21.559 --> 00:17:29.119
up. The problem was the turnovers, the misques, guys not being on

231
00:17:29.160 --> 00:17:32.880
the same page. Okay, see, got up thirteen more shots than the

232
00:17:32.880 --> 00:17:36.559
Clippers in this game, after getting
up twenty seven more shots in the Clippers

233
00:17:36.599 --> 00:17:41.759
Tuesday night because of all the turnovers
an offensive rebounds. So it's a disappointing,

234
00:17:41.799 --> 00:17:45.960
frustrating loss per cliber Nation. I
realized that, and we're not going

235
00:17:47.000 --> 00:17:52.359
to sugarcoat it. There's still positives. Norman Powell getting off the snide,

236
00:17:52.799 --> 00:17:59.839
having twenty one points to lead them, and just looking like Norman Powell attacking

237
00:18:00.200 --> 00:18:04.240
that dunk in the third quarter was
big over a few different Thunder players.

238
00:18:06.839 --> 00:18:10.759
It looked like he was having his
I'm back type of moment. Hit a

239
00:18:10.759 --> 00:18:14.319
couple of three pointers. As I
mentioned, he was one for twelve coming

240
00:18:14.319 --> 00:18:15.759
into this came on the season from
three, he goes two for seven.

241
00:18:18.759 --> 00:18:23.240
Multiple layups from him and John Wall
that were insanely impressive. Reggie Jackson,

242
00:18:23.960 --> 00:18:27.319
not just the step back. He
had a twelve foot floater in the fourth

243
00:18:27.400 --> 00:18:33.240
quarter that was ridiculous. He was
more efficient eight to thirteen, eighteen points.

244
00:18:33.240 --> 00:18:36.720
Paul George, she didn't really look
like himself, had a dunk in

245
00:18:36.759 --> 00:18:41.759
the fourth quarter, but just twelve
shots, four of twelve coming off the

246
00:18:41.799 --> 00:18:45.480
illness. Flew in yesterday to be
with the team into play tonight, but

247
00:18:45.640 --> 00:18:49.759
just ten points in thirty one minutes. Luke Kennard was good off the bench

248
00:18:49.799 --> 00:18:53.200
again but just played seventeen had ten
four or five, shooting two of three

249
00:18:53.240 --> 00:18:57.759
from distance. Clipper's defense failed them
in the second half. You get up

250
00:18:57.839 --> 00:19:02.599
thirty six points in the third quarter
after they had all the momentum going into

251
00:19:02.640 --> 00:19:06.720
the half, and to start things
off with three straight offensive fouls. I

252
00:19:06.759 --> 00:19:08.599
want to say they had six in
the game. Six of their turnovers were

253
00:19:08.599 --> 00:19:14.359
offensive fouls. That just doesn't happen. That's just unbelievably flukey. But right

254
00:19:14.359 --> 00:19:17.720
now maybe it does. Anything that
can't go wrong, Cannon will go wrong.

255
00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:21.880
But a thirty six point quarter to
okay, See when the Clippers put

256
00:19:21.960 --> 00:19:23.960
up a respectable twenty seven points in
the third and then they give up twenty

257
00:19:25.000 --> 00:19:30.960
nine more points in the fourth.
Okay, see we call it a two

258
00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:33.960
game mini series. I'm sure this
felt like the playoffs to them, This

259
00:19:33.039 --> 00:19:37.559
felt like maybe might feel like the
two biggest wins of the season by the

260
00:19:37.680 --> 00:19:41.119
end of it, with all the
injuries they have going on and what a

261
00:19:41.160 --> 00:19:45.680
young team they are. But especially
against a young team like this, you

262
00:19:45.720 --> 00:19:48.640
have to be cognizant of the fact
that if you give them turnovers, they're

263
00:19:48.640 --> 00:19:53.960
gonna get out and run. They're
gonna beat you down the court. Clippers

264
00:19:53.960 --> 00:20:00.799
did some of that too, but
when they had those live ball turnovers,

265
00:20:00.359 --> 00:20:06.880
Oklahoma City made them pay again twenty
turnovers leading to thirty one points, twelve

266
00:20:06.920 --> 00:20:10.799
offensive rebounds leading to twenty one points. Fifty two points right there from okayc

267
00:20:11.880 --> 00:20:18.839
just off the Clippers not being sound
with the basketball. Eight six sixty nine

268
00:20:18.880 --> 00:20:22.559
eight seven two five seventy eight six
six nine eight seven two five seventy is

269
00:20:22.599 --> 00:20:27.319
the phone number Kevin and Inglewood.
Hey, yeah, don't mind doing buddies,

270
00:20:27.359 --> 00:20:30.599
but the minutes since are called.
Man, I'm with you, man,

271
00:20:30.160 --> 00:20:33.240
I mean, it's very clear.
I mean we didn't have two of

272
00:20:33.240 --> 00:20:37.240
our big calls then, but those
turnovers. Oh my god, man,

273
00:20:37.279 --> 00:20:40.359
I mean, you can't beat anybody, and able very lucky to give the

274
00:20:40.400 --> 00:20:44.599
first two games against the Lagas and
the Kings. The Kings and the Lagas

275
00:20:44.640 --> 00:20:52.880
just didn't just didn't. I mean, he just didn't turn those turnovers into

276
00:20:52.880 --> 00:20:56.960
points like Black Oklahoma died. You
know. Other than that, again,

277
00:20:56.079 --> 00:21:00.680
I'm I'm the only thing I'm concerned
about is is that it's still a lot

278
00:21:00.759 --> 00:21:04.440
of the same team other than John
Wall, and they don't look like they've

279
00:21:04.480 --> 00:21:07.480
ever played together before, you know. I mean, I know normal Power

280
00:21:07.599 --> 00:21:11.200
came in for a few games,
you gotta earth, but for the court

281
00:21:11.240 --> 00:21:14.759
of the team is pretty much a
lot of the same guys, and they

282
00:21:14.839 --> 00:21:18.160
just those turnovers are like, you
know, the those are like you've never

283
00:21:18.200 --> 00:21:22.079
played with people before and you're not
used to where there are you know,

284
00:21:22.119 --> 00:21:25.559
where they're on the on the court. That's just strange, man, It's

285
00:21:25.559 --> 00:21:27.960
just kind of strange. And only
just want to make one more stavement at

286
00:21:29.000 --> 00:21:33.160
him. I know you always told
the company line, but I'm still going

287
00:21:33.200 --> 00:21:36.359
to go back to that. Yeah, yeah, you always told the company

288
00:21:36.400 --> 00:21:40.440
line. Look, I look for
positives, oh no, no doubt,

289
00:21:40.480 --> 00:21:44.680
no doubt, no doubt. But
I still say that, and it's still

290
00:21:44.759 --> 00:21:52.599
showing that said George trade for it
before guiltest Alexander, I'm still hot about

291
00:21:52.680 --> 00:21:57.799
that one, Kevin, thank you
but appreciated. Yeah, Look, can

292
00:21:57.880 --> 00:22:04.000
we get over that they don't get
Kawhi Leonard if they don't trade for Paul

293
00:22:04.119 --> 00:22:08.519
George. I don't know how many
times I have to explain this. It

294
00:22:08.640 --> 00:22:14.160
was for two guys. Really,
Kawai came because they traded for Paul George.

295
00:22:15.480 --> 00:22:18.000
I don't know how many times I
have to explain this. And by

296
00:22:18.000 --> 00:22:21.599
the way, yeah, they gave
up five picks, two of them weren't

297
00:22:21.640 --> 00:22:26.039
theirs. It's not like they haven't
developed good young players in the meantime.

298
00:22:26.319 --> 00:22:30.079
It's not like they didn't get Brandon
Boston. It's not like they didn't draft

299
00:22:30.480 --> 00:22:37.839
Terrence Man, a mere coffee who
went undrafted. They've found guys that are

300
00:22:37.880 --> 00:22:41.079
contributors even without having those first round
picks. And Musadiabatte looks like a good

301
00:22:41.079 --> 00:22:45.160
one. Congrats to him. Gets
his first bucket as a professional tonight.

302
00:22:45.200 --> 00:22:51.880
But the Clippers fall one eighteen to
one ten did the OKC thunder And yes,

303
00:22:52.039 --> 00:22:55.480
shay Giljis Alexander take a quick time
out. We'll come back, get

304
00:22:55.480 --> 00:22:57.920
back to your phone calls eight six
six ninety eight seven two five seventy eight

305
00:22:57.960 --> 00:23:03.319
six six nine eighty seven two five
seventy. Just the false narrative about that

306
00:23:03.359 --> 00:23:07.920
trade. It wasn't just for Paul
George, who, by the way,

307
00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:11.200
dragged them to the Western Conference Finals
for the first time in franchise history two

308
00:23:11.279 --> 00:23:14.799
years ago. But never mind that, right, SCA hasn't been in the

309
00:23:14.799 --> 00:23:19.720
playoffs yet. Or is that give
me one of those nights on Clippers Talk

310
00:23:21.119 --> 00:23:23.519
before coming up next year at M
five seventy only sports is the MAGNI keeps

311
00:23:23.559 --> 00:23:27.960
attracting me me. I try to
run to see him. Not that fast,

312
00:23:30.200 --> 00:23:36.720
I think the first butsonly finished last
last. It was blocked by George.

313
00:23:36.880 --> 00:23:41.640
This is La Clippers basketball. He
is a one man record crawl and

314
00:23:41.680 --> 00:23:48.319
he frets a man on the home
of your La Clippers. Clippers lose one

315
00:23:48.319 --> 00:23:52.880
eighteen to one, ten and oka
seats in the thunder dropped to two and

316
00:23:52.920 --> 00:23:56.000
three on the seasons this Clippers Talk, I'm at I'm oslin to eight six

317
00:23:56.079 --> 00:24:00.960
six nine eight seven two five seventy
eight six six nine eight two seventy is

318
00:24:02.000 --> 00:24:06.359
the phone number didn't mean to go
David vs. Say on the last caller

319
00:24:06.400 --> 00:24:11.920
who did bring up a good point
indirectly. He was talking about Clippers fans

320
00:24:12.279 --> 00:24:19.079
Kevin it was in Englewood or Clippers
players, and how there's a lot of

321
00:24:19.119 --> 00:24:22.640
the same guys, So what's the
problem with the chemistry and them not jelling

322
00:24:22.680 --> 00:24:30.799
out there with twenty turnovers tonight?
But there are differences. Norman Powell only

323
00:24:30.880 --> 00:24:36.119
played in a handful of games last
season, and he pushes the pace and

324
00:24:36.160 --> 00:24:41.519
the tempo just like John Wall.
So now that guys are playing faster all

325
00:24:41.559 --> 00:24:47.200
of a sudden, it does lead
me to believe that it lends itself to

326
00:24:47.240 --> 00:24:51.720
more turnovers because they're more sped up
and guys don't know where they're going to

327
00:24:51.759 --> 00:24:57.680
be position wise on the floor.
That makes some sense, that doesn't explain

328
00:24:57.680 --> 00:25:03.759
away everything. I saw Luke nar
throw a ball over Nicholas Batoum's head that

329
00:25:03.839 --> 00:25:07.920
was ten feet above it. I
think it was in late in the first

330
00:25:07.000 --> 00:25:11.119
quarter, early in the second.
And they gotta be better than this,

331
00:25:11.240 --> 00:25:17.079
and they gotta short things up because
you have twenty turnovers against some of the

332
00:25:17.079 --> 00:25:22.640
elite teams in the West, you're
gonna lose by twenty plus. Let's go

333
00:25:22.799 --> 00:25:26.720
to Zach in Long Beach. Zach, what's up. You're on Clippers stop

334
00:25:26.720 --> 00:25:33.359
without Amazin? Hey, what's going
on? Adam Hoppo as well? Dude.

335
00:25:33.799 --> 00:25:37.720
I do not know what's going on
with the LA basketball teams, but

336
00:25:37.119 --> 00:25:41.960
I was watching the I know the
Clippers have been struggling with the thunder,

337
00:25:41.000 --> 00:25:45.680
and I really do trust them down
the road in the postseason. So if

338
00:25:45.720 --> 00:25:48.880
you are a fan, like,
just sit in your seat. You're gonna

339
00:25:48.880 --> 00:25:52.160
be okay. Everything's gonna click.
But the Lakers are just absolutely I can

340
00:25:52.279 --> 00:25:56.680
care less about the Lakers. This
is Clippers talk, yeah, and they're

341
00:25:56.720 --> 00:26:00.799
absolutely they need to step it up, man, they really don't. They're

342
00:26:00.799 --> 00:26:04.119
gonna be all right. They're gonna
be all right. Zach. Thank you

343
00:26:04.160 --> 00:26:10.240
for the phone call. I appreciate
it. I just want to go over

344
00:26:10.319 --> 00:26:15.160
the landscape of basketball in LA.
You want to use UCLA or usc preview

345
00:26:15.200 --> 00:26:21.000
in there as well their basketball season. I could care less about what the

346
00:26:21.079 --> 00:26:23.559
Lakers are doing right now. Clipper's
got to worry about what they're doing or

347
00:26:23.599 --> 00:26:29.400
not doing. That's the issue.
Rick in Long Beach, you on Clippers

348
00:26:29.400 --> 00:26:33.119
stop without of Amassin, Hey,
Arama, I told you. I'll call

349
00:26:33.200 --> 00:26:38.200
you back, yeah, Rick.
Not only is this and there, it

350
00:26:38.359 --> 00:26:44.279
is pathetic, man, This is
absolutely pathetic. What they need. I

351
00:26:44.279 --> 00:26:48.000
don't know who the leader is on
that team, but someone needs to tell

352
00:26:48.000 --> 00:26:53.160
Tylu to walk out through walk out
the room and close the door. And

353
00:26:53.200 --> 00:26:56.359
as Bernie used to say, there's
gonna be some furniture moving up in here.

354
00:26:57.839 --> 00:27:02.279
How do you know that hasn't all? What do you happened? I

355
00:27:02.319 --> 00:27:04.960
don't know, but what I'm what
I'm seeing is the same thing, the

356
00:27:06.079 --> 00:27:08.799
same thing that you used to happened
the other day with the with the turnovers.

357
00:27:08.960 --> 00:27:14.160
The same thing is going on now. So somebody, someone, some

358
00:27:14.279 --> 00:27:19.359
group is not getting the message.
This is ridiculous. This is ridiculous.

359
00:27:19.440 --> 00:27:22.680
And if they did have a close
look, like you said, how would

360
00:27:22.680 --> 00:27:27.559
I know? I don't know,
but I do know this. These teams,

361
00:27:27.559 --> 00:27:32.160
there's no gimme anymore. This is
the best chance for them to have

362
00:27:32.200 --> 00:27:36.279
two wins or at least one split, and then you're gonna face another team

363
00:27:36.319 --> 00:27:41.000
to just beat Dallas even without happening
Zion, And that's not gonna be an

364
00:27:41.000 --> 00:27:44.160
easy, easy win, not at
all. And all the rest of the

365
00:27:44.200 --> 00:27:47.640
games, all the rest of the
games coming up. There's no gimme so

366
00:27:47.920 --> 00:27:51.880
and then they got they got the
real big teams coming up. So I'm

367
00:27:52.160 --> 00:27:56.960
trying to figure out what in the
world it's going on with this team.

368
00:27:56.079 --> 00:28:00.680
What in the world is going on? This does not make any sense,

369
00:28:00.400 --> 00:28:03.920
it doesn't. I mean, like
you just have to say and Canard through

370
00:28:04.480 --> 00:28:11.319
a pass over, I forget who
who the player or something over his head

371
00:28:11.759 --> 00:28:17.559
and what are you kidding me?
Are you kidding me? I mean that's

372
00:28:17.559 --> 00:28:19.480
what I'm saying before. I don't
know if it's tied and should do something

373
00:28:19.839 --> 00:28:25.400
or somebody's whoever the leader is,
just stand up, even if it's Boston,

374
00:28:25.640 --> 00:28:26.720
just stay up, stand up and
say, hey, man, look,

375
00:28:27.680 --> 00:28:33.359
this is unacceptable. This is really
unacceptable, and you're going home.

376
00:28:33.720 --> 00:28:37.759
Who's to say that they won't have
twenty three tone for turning Rowers. I

377
00:28:37.839 --> 00:28:44.759
mean, come on, Rick,
I hear you. I understand your frustration

378
00:28:44.799 --> 00:28:48.319
and your passion for this team.
I'm with you. Some of these turnovers

379
00:28:48.319 --> 00:28:53.240
are inexplicable, unexplainable, and downright
out of the ordinary for this group.

380
00:28:53.359 --> 00:28:57.119
Even with newer editions like Norman Powell
who hasn't played much with him, and

381
00:28:57.200 --> 00:29:02.359
like John Walls in his first season
as Clipper. They still have to be

382
00:29:02.359 --> 00:29:04.799
better than this. And on a
night light tonight, And I appreciate the

383
00:29:04.799 --> 00:29:07.440
phone call. Rick, We'll talk
to you on Sunday, on a nightlight

384
00:29:07.480 --> 00:29:14.960
tonight where you thought they were going
to bounce back and respond and just at

385
00:29:15.039 --> 00:29:18.839
least play with a different level of
toughness and energy and intensity and purpose out

386
00:29:18.880 --> 00:29:26.400
there. They were down eighteen in
the first quarter, and they battled back

387
00:29:26.440 --> 00:29:29.319
to be up by seven and a
half. And they gave all that momentum

388
00:29:29.400 --> 00:29:33.000
way by doing what turning the basketball
over in the third. All right,

389
00:29:33.000 --> 00:29:34.720
we'll take a quick time out.
We'll come back. We got coachlew audio.

390
00:29:34.799 --> 00:29:38.240
But first, actually I should pause
ten seconds for station identification. Here

391
00:29:38.240 --> 00:29:44.640
on AM five seventy LA Sports.
This is LA Clippers Basketball. AM five

We'll get back to your phone calls.

394
00:29:53.200 --> 00:29:56.960
More so long beach is still on
hold eight six six nine eight seven

eight seven two five seventy The phone number

396
00:30:00.839 --> 00:30:06.440
Clippers lose one eighteen to one ten
and okay, see to the thunder third

397
00:30:06.480 --> 00:30:10.920
loss in a row after starting off
the season two and oh, I'll tell

398
00:30:10.920 --> 00:30:15.440
you this. No Eagle brought up
post game. Phoenix Suns started off two

399
00:30:15.440 --> 00:30:18.920
and three last year. They won
sixty four games. Okay, they've petered

400
00:30:18.039 --> 00:30:22.160
out in the second round. You
don't like that comparison. The Boston Celtics

401
00:30:22.920 --> 00:30:27.039
were a five hundred team midway through
the season last year, and they turned

402
00:30:27.039 --> 00:30:30.599
it around and went to the NBA
Finals then took the Warriors to six.

403
00:30:33.119 --> 00:30:38.559
The Clippers aren't in some insurmountable hole
here. And some of these struggles,

404
00:30:38.799 --> 00:30:41.799
as I mentioned, with new players, new faces, and new styles of

405
00:30:41.839 --> 00:30:48.160
play out there, some of it
can be explained some of it. So

406
00:30:49.480 --> 00:30:52.240
it's on the guys and they got
to figure it out in the locker room

407
00:30:52.240 --> 00:30:56.000
and then take it out to the
court and execute. On Sunday, more

408
00:30:56.039 --> 00:31:02.559
Clippers stock next year on five seventy
l Sportskay smoking on cheese and you know

409
00:31:02.759 --> 00:31:07.359
me and more. It's blocked by
George. This is La Clippers basketball.

410
00:31:07.599 --> 00:31:11.160
He is a one man record crawl, the defensive man on the home of

411
00:31:11.279 --> 00:31:17.440
your La Clippers Daddy with the net
sec. Now we definitely wants the village.

412
00:31:17.720 --> 00:31:21.440
Stayed at me Granny's whimmy Mammy with
at work against and watched my every

413
00:31:21.440 --> 00:31:23.640
removed. I thought it's certain only
thing better than one wake up call to

414
00:31:25.720 --> 00:31:30.119
Clippers just cut their second wake up
calling back to back games they losing.

415
00:31:30.200 --> 00:31:37.359
Okay, see Tuesday Night by fourteen
Tonight by eight. Final score Thunder one

416
00:31:37.400 --> 00:31:40.640
eighteen Clippers one ten. Welcome back
in the Clippers talk. I'm out of

417
00:31:40.720 --> 00:31:45.200
Moslin eight six six nine eight seven
two five seventy eight six sixty nine eight

418
00:31:45.359 --> 00:31:51.079
seven two five seventy is the phone
number we will preview Sunday's game against the

419
00:31:51.119 --> 00:31:53.720
New Orleans Pelicans. As Rick said, cannot be taken lightly no matter who

420
00:31:53.839 --> 00:31:57.680
is there. And brandon Ingram he's
not traveling with him, so he's not

421
00:31:57.759 --> 00:32:01.720
going to be available. That's up
in the air. Still, Clippers gotta

422
00:32:01.720 --> 00:32:06.680
worry about themselves though, and how
they're playing. I told you before the

423
00:32:06.720 --> 00:32:09.880
season, this team is talented enough. They can be their own worst enemy.

424
00:32:09.920 --> 00:32:14.720
They can beat themselves if they take
a team lightly, if they don't

425
00:32:14.759 --> 00:32:19.680
take care of the basketball's wenty more
turnovers in this one, leading to thirty

426
00:32:19.880 --> 00:32:22.799
one points for the Oklahoma City Thunder
and here's Coach Low post game of the

427
00:32:22.839 --> 00:32:25.720
loss. Oh, I think,
you know, making a simple play is

428
00:32:27.039 --> 00:32:29.720
one thing. I think we had
a couple of charges, which is fine

429
00:32:29.720 --> 00:32:31.359
because you're being aggressive with them.
We had a few moving screens as well.

430
00:32:31.480 --> 00:32:35.200
But the live turnovers is you know, killing us, like, you

431
00:32:35.240 --> 00:32:37.759
know, giving up thirty one points
on twenty twenty turnovers. So we got

432
00:32:37.839 --> 00:32:40.680
to just clean that up. I
thought, you know, rebound the ball

433
00:32:40.759 --> 00:32:44.519
tonight, we've made it conscious of
ever trying to hit the bodies and trying

434
00:32:44.559 --> 00:32:46.880
to rebound the ball. They stick
him up with twilve. But that's way

435
00:32:46.960 --> 00:32:51.400
better than the last game. So
I mean, you know, shooting fifty

436
00:32:51.440 --> 00:32:53.640
four percent, and we just gotta
be able to guard a point of attack.

437
00:32:53.839 --> 00:32:57.319
You know, I think they're just
lining us up one on one and

438
00:32:57.640 --> 00:33:00.559
guys will be able to get whatever
they want. So now we gotta jump

439
00:33:00.640 --> 00:33:04.920
the game with some blitzers and fires
and now you're in four rotation and scrambling

440
00:33:04.960 --> 00:33:07.720
for the whole night. So just
gotta do a better job. I think

441
00:33:07.799 --> 00:33:09.640
point of attack defense and just you
know, guarding the ball one on one.

442
00:33:14.640 --> 00:33:24.720
Appreciate at you, No, I
mean it's articles one on one better,

443
00:33:24.960 --> 00:33:28.240
you know, but we can be
better with our shrinks. We can

444
00:33:28.440 --> 00:33:30.680
be better with the cuts and the
slot cuts when we are helping his shrink

445
00:33:30.720 --> 00:33:34.559
in the floor. So I said, they played well and did a good

446
00:33:34.640 --> 00:33:37.359
job and a lot of attention.
You know, it's on Shay and so

447
00:33:37.480 --> 00:33:39.799
guys are getting open threes, getting
back cuts and so, you know,

448
00:33:39.960 --> 00:33:44.839
just having a better awareness, you
know, with our one on one defense,

449
00:33:44.920 --> 00:33:50.319
point of attack defense. Yeah,
coach lew has brought this up before,

450
00:33:50.400 --> 00:33:52.680
and thanks to Valley Sports for the
audio post game. But you got

451
00:33:52.759 --> 00:33:58.799
to accept that one on one challenge
because if you can't slow anyone down at

452
00:33:58.799 --> 00:34:02.400
the point of attack, your entire
defense can break down. No matter how

453
00:34:02.480 --> 00:34:07.639
goodna Besta Zubos has been so far
this season as the defensive anchor, you

454
00:34:07.760 --> 00:34:13.400
get a defense off balance at the
arc, it's gonna be tough. Guys

455
00:34:13.440 --> 00:34:17.039
are gonna be out of position,
scrambling and not playing five guys on a

456
00:34:17.119 --> 00:34:23.119
string. And that's certainly what we
saw a lot of disconnected defensive plays by

457
00:34:23.119 --> 00:34:29.119
the Clippers. They lose one eighteen
to one ten to the Oklahoma City Thunder.

458
00:34:29.320 --> 00:34:34.039
Morris and Long Beach hit me with
some positivity. Please Snow'm gonna give

459
00:34:34.079 --> 00:34:37.599
me the gospel of the Clippers showed
me some hope today. They really did.

460
00:34:37.679 --> 00:34:39.760
The three Guards. The three Guards
showed out. I'm talking about Jackson

461
00:34:39.800 --> 00:34:43.199
when he hit that shot in the
first half and tied the game, and

462
00:34:43.199 --> 00:34:45.000
then he hit another shot in game
the Clippers the first lead. I was

463
00:34:45.039 --> 00:34:47.400
glad to see that Paul got his
act together a little bit better. But

464
00:34:47.480 --> 00:34:50.639
let me tell you, go back
to the first quarter. He wasn't acting

465
00:34:50.760 --> 00:34:53.519
right. The coach pulled him out
early and then brought him back in,

466
00:34:53.719 --> 00:34:57.679
you know, and then John Wall. This is just my opinion. Everybody's

467
00:34:57.679 --> 00:35:00.079
got one. I think that John
wall is gonna have ford general of this

468
00:35:00.159 --> 00:35:04.360
team. Really, the guy can
get to the rim anytime he wants to

469
00:35:04.360 --> 00:35:07.280
do. He can do anything he
can dish. If they float out on

470
00:35:07.320 --> 00:35:12.199
the turnovers, they'll be pretty good. Like a previous caller said, I

471
00:35:12.239 --> 00:35:15.079
don't think you can be the college
team with them many turnovers. But I'm

472
00:35:15.119 --> 00:35:19.159
not really worried about the Clippers.
It's early in the season. I like

473
00:35:19.360 --> 00:35:23.639
your reference to what Phoenix did you
know? Early in the season is still

474
00:35:23.679 --> 00:35:29.079
early here. But I'm just glad
that the Guards showed what they could do.

475
00:35:29.239 --> 00:35:31.800
Jackson looked good again, Paula looked
good, and John Wall and again

476
00:35:31.880 --> 00:35:35.559
john Wall, he's gonna have to
just take over and say I'm the Ford

477
00:35:35.639 --> 00:35:38.320
General and that's it. Y'all good
behind me and we're gonna be all right.

478
00:35:38.360 --> 00:35:39.880
And if I see you on Sun
deal, okay, my brother,

479
00:35:40.400 --> 00:35:45.480
all right, appreciate it. Morris. Yeah. A lot of people have

480
00:35:45.599 --> 00:35:47.519
been asking is John Wall gonna be
the starter? Is he gonna be the

481
00:35:47.599 --> 00:35:51.920
Ford General? It may happen at
some point. Night's like tonight where only

482
00:35:52.000 --> 00:35:58.079
has one turnover to six assists and
just completely changes the complexion of the game,

483
00:35:58.159 --> 00:36:01.320
the dynamic of the game with his
bill to drive to kick to get

484
00:36:01.360 --> 00:36:06.280
to the free throw line was four
or five there. Clippers only attempted at

485
00:36:06.320 --> 00:36:08.599
eighteen in this game, but the
thunder. I don't think they attempted a

486
00:36:08.679 --> 00:36:14.360
free throw till the midway point of
the third quarter and they were still up.

487
00:36:15.320 --> 00:36:17.960
So the Clippers got into that track
meet. That's how they got back

488
00:36:19.000 --> 00:36:22.159
into the game, the big turnaround
the end of the second quarter. But

489
00:36:22.239 --> 00:36:25.440
they kept it going in the third
quarter and they couldn't keep up with Okac

490
00:36:25.599 --> 00:36:30.800
because they were giving them extra possessions
due to turnovers, and Wall is still

491
00:36:30.840 --> 00:36:35.199
in a minute restriction. He only
played twenty one so maybe that's the reason

492
00:36:35.280 --> 00:36:38.239
we're not seeing it yet. And
Reggie Jackson wasn't much better in this game

493
00:36:38.280 --> 00:36:43.920
and he's playing through are going injury
right now. But John wall has been

494
00:36:43.960 --> 00:36:51.400
exceptional. He's exceeded all my expectations. And I'm not really surprised because I

495
00:36:51.559 --> 00:36:54.519
watched him in Houston a couple of
years ago in those forty games, and

496
00:36:54.639 --> 00:36:58.880
I saw the burst was still there, and I posted it on Twitter at

497
00:36:58.880 --> 00:37:01.559
follow Adam May some of his most
explosive plays from that season. This off

498
00:37:01.679 --> 00:37:06.159
year off season during the summer in
July, I said, wow, if

499
00:37:06.159 --> 00:37:08.239
the rumors are true, the Clipers
are getting John walla looks like he still

500
00:37:08.280 --> 00:37:15.440
got it. And he does seventeen
points in twenty one minutes. And it's

501
00:37:15.480 --> 00:37:19.440
not just his ability to score,
like he was trying to will them to

502
00:37:19.519 --> 00:37:27.360
win. If you're looking for someone
to get behind, John Wall has been

503
00:37:27.559 --> 00:37:34.440
one of those guys so far this
season. He showed leadership Clippers, though

504
00:37:34.480 --> 00:37:37.679
not enough. Tonight they lose no
okay, see one eighteen to one,

505
00:37:37.840 --> 00:37:43.119
ten turnovers, offensive rebounds, and
the defense on the perimeter failed them in

506
00:37:43.199 --> 00:37:45.320
the fourth quarter. We'll take a
quick time out, we'll come back,

507
00:37:45.360 --> 00:37:49.960
we'll wrap things up. We'll previous
Sunday's game against the Pelicans. You're listening

508
00:37:50.000 --> 00:37:52.840
to Clipper stock here on the M
five seventy only Sports. I feel this

509
00:37:52.960 --> 00:38:10.800
one you've been Oh, Paul George
La Clippers basketball continue pace in his paints

510
00:38:12.119 --> 00:38:22.239
as he carries the three on the
home of your La Clippers Callia Clippers could

511
00:38:22.400 --> 00:38:24.559
use a little home cooking right now
if they're losing two and okay, see

512
00:38:25.159 --> 00:38:30.639
they fault tonight one eighteen to one
ten two the Pelicans. Welcome back into

513
00:38:30.639 --> 00:38:37.000
Clippers talk. I'm out of Moslin. You know, people are talking about

514
00:38:37.000 --> 00:38:42.719
the Clippers being two and three and
underperforming so far this season, and obviously

515
00:38:42.880 --> 00:38:46.119
they're gonna take some heat for that, but they're not the only ones.

516
00:38:46.920 --> 00:38:50.920
And the Denver Nuggets have a couple
of losses, Golden State has a couple

517
00:38:50.960 --> 00:38:53.920
of losses, Dallas has a couple
of losses. Some of the premier teams

518
00:38:53.960 --> 00:38:59.960
in the Western Conference haven't clicked in
or played well yet. But the Pelican

519
00:39:00.079 --> 00:39:04.840
Kins gave the Dallas Mavericks one of
those losses the other night, and they

520
00:39:04.920 --> 00:39:09.840
did so without Brandon Ingram or Zion
Williamson. So the Clippers can't think if

521
00:39:09.920 --> 00:39:14.159
those two guys were out and we
know brandon Ingram didn't travel with them on

522
00:39:14.320 --> 00:39:22.039
Sunday, that they can coast through
that game. They gotta find just consistency

523
00:39:22.159 --> 00:39:29.760
within the offense and take care of
the basketball and get back to playing defense

524
00:39:29.880 --> 00:39:32.519
like they had been the first four
games of this season. They were good

525
00:39:32.639 --> 00:39:37.079
enough there they could overcome the turnovers
in the lack of offense. Not tonight,

526
00:39:37.000 --> 00:39:40.639
not in the fourth quarter, not
in the second half. Or they

527
00:39:40.800 --> 00:39:50.360
gave up sixty five points in the
second half of the game, an efficient

528
00:39:50.440 --> 00:39:54.000
sixty five to okay see, and
that just big backbreaking three pointers down the

529
00:39:54.079 --> 00:39:58.519
stretch when the Clippers were trying to
rally after they already did down eighteen.

530
00:40:00.079 --> 00:40:04.679
I tweeted out in the first quarter
when they were down big still feels like

531
00:40:04.800 --> 00:40:07.480
Clippers come back. Oh, they
came back. They were up by seven

532
00:40:07.519 --> 00:40:13.239
at the half, but they gave
it back offensive fouls, moving screens,

533
00:40:13.480 --> 00:40:20.360
turnovers. They lose one eighteen to
one ten. But it is still early.

534
00:40:21.000 --> 00:40:23.920
And I'm gonna say it because when
there's seventy seven more games left.

535
00:40:24.000 --> 00:40:29.599
How can you really panic? It's
tough to do that. I mean,

536
00:40:30.280 --> 00:40:36.360
I was looking at eventual NBA champions
through four games and I saw this stat.

537
00:40:37.440 --> 00:40:40.280
Twenty six of them, and this
is in National Basketball Association history.

538
00:40:40.800 --> 00:40:44.679
Twenty six of them. Yeah,
started off four and zero. Twenty eight

539
00:40:44.760 --> 00:40:49.440
of them started three and one,
but seventeen eventual NBA champions start off two

540
00:40:49.480 --> 00:40:53.239
and two. Five started one and
three. Now the Clippers are two and

541
00:40:53.360 --> 00:40:58.840
three. I don't know what the
odds say now, but they started one

542
00:40:58.920 --> 00:41:01.480
in four. Last year, I
ended up with a winning record, and

543
00:41:01.559 --> 00:41:05.599
we're hoping the Calvary's on the way. Paul George is feeling better with two

544
00:41:05.679 --> 00:41:12.079
days off on Sunday, and hopefully
Kawhi Leonard's back and Marcus morrise, that

545
00:41:12.159 --> 00:41:15.119
could be just what the doctor ordered. Tip time for that one is at

546
00:41:15.119 --> 00:41:19.000
twelve pm. We'll have Clippers count
and your pregame show starting at eleven am
