WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:04.280 The game is over. Paul George money in the pain, but the postgame 2 00:00:04.320 --> 00:00:09.279 reaction has just begun. Khi Leonard is so smooth in the mid range. 3 00:00:09.679 --> 00:00:13.919 This is Clippers locker Room, a recap of today's game and a look ahead, 4 00:00:13.960 --> 00:00:18.320 your hope for LA Clippers basketball, and now your host, You, 5 00:00:18.559 --> 00:00:25.879 sir, are a bad man, Adam Ousley. Clippers make it three straight 6 00:00:26.559 --> 00:00:31.559 as they win in San Antonio over the Spurs. Welcome into your postgame show. 7 00:00:31.559 --> 00:00:34.679 I'm Adam Oslin. Coming up. We'll get to your second half highlights 8 00:00:34.679 --> 00:00:38.359 of postgame box score, and you'll hear from the head coach in the players 9 00:00:38.399 --> 00:00:42.039 after this one. Ted Emrick is still with us, though Ted, the 10 00:00:42.039 --> 00:00:44.759 reason I didn't say the score is I keep getting a different one on my 11 00:00:44.799 --> 00:00:47.719 box score. It's all over the place. You want to give me the 12 00:00:47.759 --> 00:00:51.479 final there from at and T Center. Adam me too, And that's why 13 00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:54.759 I was trying to cover for it at the end of the game, saying 14 00:00:54.799 --> 00:00:57.759 that Paul George had another thirty point game. It's what the pros do. 15 00:00:57.920 --> 00:01:00.479 I mean, it's what Noah would certainly do. I try to do it 16 00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:04.640 as well. We finally have our updated box score. The final I got 17 00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:07.359 the final right at him. Give me some credit. One thirteen, one 18 00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:14.799 oh six. PG thirteen ends up with thirty five and twenty three in the 19 00:01:14.840 --> 00:01:17.640 second half. Again, you're at that point, like I said, carbon 20 00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:22.079 copy of the Rockets game on Wednesday, just about build the big lead, 21 00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:26.719 lose it. Second unit falters just a bit okay, third quarter? Who 22 00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:30.359 needs to step forward? Well, of course it's Paul George. Go ask 23 00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:34.239 the All Star to do something. And Adam he was just so efficient tonight, 24 00:01:34.319 --> 00:01:38.920 twelve of seventeen from the field, five of seven from three, six 25 00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:42.840 to seven at the line. It's just what you expect now from PG. 26 00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:45.719 Yeah, he's definitely gonna be in the running for Player of the Week in 27 00:01:45.760 --> 00:01:49.799 the Western Conference, depending on what happens Sunday against Utah. But of those 28 00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:53.319 thirty five points, had fifteen of them in the third quarter, Clippers were 29 00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:56.640 down by as many as ten. It felt like he stepped up whenever they 30 00:01:56.640 --> 00:02:00.040 needed him too. But also John Wall went for his season minutes high of 31 00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:05.120 twenty seven in this one and played I believe the entire fourth quarter and had 32 00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:08.479 nine of his fifteen plus just a couple of spectacular feeds. I'm talking about 33 00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:13.919 once to have Viza Zoobos especially yes for that slam. Again, what were 34 00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:17.319 we talking about before the game? What can John Wall be for this team? 35 00:02:17.319 --> 00:02:22.360 We're getting another glimpse coming off the game in which he played a season 36 00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:28.199 low fifteen minutes, going for twenty seven and Telou could not take him off 37 00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:31.439 the floor in the fourth quarter. And for good reason. This is a 38 00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:37.000 guy who can be a part of that closing line up. Just imagine it. 39 00:02:37.479 --> 00:02:40.240 Dare to dream. It's fun to dream if you're a Clippers fan with 40 00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:44.680 a healthy George, a healthy Leonard and oh, by the way, a 41 00:02:44.719 --> 00:02:49.840 playmaker, another playmaker in John Wall. We certainly saw it tonight in the 42 00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:53.960 fourth a couple of big shots also from Marcus Morris, and some great camaraderie. 43 00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:55.759 When he was on the floor, John Wall took a seat and laid 44 00:02:55.800 --> 00:03:00.520 down next to him like he needed a breather playing that entire fourth quarter. 45 00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:02.800 But Marcus stepped up with two big three pointers. He's got a knack for 46 00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:08.039 that as a Clipper man, hasn't he. You could argue even before his 47 00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:14.520 time as a Clipper. But just when the moment needs it, Marcus Morris 48 00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:16.520 can rise to it. And yet again, a dagger. It's funny. 49 00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:20.840 Yeah, when John Wall slid in there, you know from our vantage point, 50 00:03:21.240 --> 00:03:23.159 it happened in the far corner. I saw Wall slide. It's like, 51 00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:25.080 this has got to be a joke, right, But I didn't want 52 00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:30.400 to go that far on the air to speculate that. And sure enough they 53 00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:34.159 get up and you know they're poling around. It was good to see both 54 00:03:34.199 --> 00:03:37.319 of them get to their feet right away. Dans and days for the Clippers. 55 00:03:37.319 --> 00:03:39.560 They win one thirteen to one oh six over the Spurs, and San 56 00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:44.759 Antonio make it three straight. Ted Emrick was on the call. Ted, 57 00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:46.960 fantastic job filling in for Noah Eagle. We very much appreciate it, my 58 00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:51.680 friend Adam, my pleasure, so much fun. Enjoy the rest of the 59 00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:53.960 year. My man sounds good. Coming up more from ten, Emrick. 60 00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:58.400 We'll have second half highlights. Clippers come back down ten. They win one 61 00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:00.879 thirteen to one oh six. Hint, said Antonio over the Spurs, and 62 00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:08.439 you're listening to the Los Angeles Clippers radio network comes off in the league game 63 00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:17.240 about game, shouts Hi, I'm over George and Lennard running. You're listening 64 00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:23.839 to LA Clippers basketball up top Clipper puts it down plus the foul every game 65 00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:30.720 all season long. On their official hole, Clippers led by seventeen, we're 66 00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:34.720 down by ten and would come back to wins one thirteen and one out six 67 00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:40.160 in San Antonio over the Spurs. We think that's the final box score. 68 00:04:40.199 --> 00:04:44.399 I don't know why it's fluid. I'm still looking for the official one from 69 00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:47.879 the Clippers here. But three and three and a row either way for your 70 00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:51.839 Clippers now, and they've done so with the last two being on the road. 71 00:04:51.920 --> 00:04:57.040 They complete the Texas two steps. They went in Houston Wednesday, they 72 00:04:57.040 --> 00:05:00.240 went in San Antonio tonight. Still to come, we'll have Clippers to for 73 00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:02.600 you eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy eight six sixty nine eight 74 00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:06.079 seven two five seventy and you'll hear from the head coach and the players after 75 00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:10.279 the victory. But right now, second half highlights. I mentioned Clippers are 76 00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:14.240 up by seventeen in that first quarter, but they trailed at the half by 77 00:05:14.360 --> 00:05:18.240 four, a twenty one point turnaround by the San Antonio Spurs. However, 78 00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:23.439 in that third quarter it was Paul George who kept it close for the Clippers. 79 00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:27.480 Seven to shoot for the Clippers George got Jeremy Sohan off his feet side 80 00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:30.680 step three pointer. Hey rattles at home. That's the kind of start you 81 00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:35.000 want to see. From PG. Thirteen. Clippers within a point at fifty 82 00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:41.519 eight fifty seven. George handles at high right for Los Angeles screen from Zubots. 83 00:05:41.519 --> 00:05:46.480 George taking Peartle off the dribble. George chumper pure, Paul George giving 84 00:05:46.519 --> 00:05:50.560 the Clippers a bucket when they needed it. They're down six sixty five fifty 85 00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:55.319 nine. The cell slashes in left to right. Kick it to Josh Richardson, 86 00:05:55.560 --> 00:05:59.240 stolen by Paul George. He's top ten in the NBA and steals. 87 00:05:59.240 --> 00:06:03.480 George churn to the basket and he lays at home. Paul George one man 88 00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:09.600 fast break. The Clippers are down four at seventy two sixty eight. George 89 00:06:09.639 --> 00:06:15.959 has nineteen. George rises up right, elbow jumper got it. Paul George 90 00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:21.279 with another bucket for the Clippers. Seventy four seventy the Spurs still in front. 91 00:06:21.399 --> 00:06:28.920 George now with twenty one. Paul George had fifteen points in the third 92 00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:33.000 quarter alone. Clippers still trailed, though by four after three it was eighty 93 00:06:33.079 --> 00:06:38.519 six eighty two. San Antonio, but in came John Wall, who would 94 00:06:38.519 --> 00:06:43.920 play the entire fourth quarter for the Clippers and made every minute count. Wall 95 00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:46.560 lobott to Morris, short corner right, guarded by Trey Jones. Morris get 96 00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:50.680 past Jackson, touch it to Wall. Three pointer over Purtle, right down 97 00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:56.319 the chute, John Wall with an answer. The Clippers are down four at 98 00:06:56.439 --> 00:07:00.360 ninety one eighty seven, right to left, John Wall storming in transition. 99 00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:05.040 A finger rolls at home, floating it in with the right hand.

Paul George walks at across half court, guarded by Kata 111 00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:01.839 Bates, d up screen from Wall, bounce it to wall, right elbow 112 00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:05.600 wide open.

John Wall had fifteen points to nine of 160 00:12:13.080 --> 00:12:18.440 them came in the fourth quarter where he played every second of the period and 161 00:12:18.559 --> 00:12:24.240 now maybe those minutes of shirting a ramp up for him. They had him 162 00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:28.399 on a minutes restriction. He blew past his minutes high on the season of 163 00:12:28.399 --> 00:12:31.799 twenty five. He had twenty seven played minutes in this one, and they 164 00:12:31.799 --> 00:12:35.720 were necessary in that fourth where it wasn't just the downhill attack. He hit 165 00:12:35.759 --> 00:12:41.240 a big three pointer a couple of them in this game, and had a 166 00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:46.159 no look feed on an alley up to a Vita. Zubos was just doing 167 00:12:46.279 --> 00:12:50.480 a little bit of everything as well as Big Zoo was seventeen and fifteen. 168 00:12:50.519 --> 00:12:54.879 Don't take him for granted. Four blocks. He's been a menace. He's 169 00:12:54.879 --> 00:13:00.759 been patrolling the paint as well as anyone all season. Just vicious with the 170 00:13:00.759 --> 00:13:07.960 throwdowns dunt get on multiple spurs. Zoobots is coming into his own at just 171 00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:09.679 the right time for this Clippers team. At the age of twenty five, 172 00:13:11.720 --> 00:13:16.519 he's been their most consistent player this year, hasn't missed a game and has 173 00:13:16.559 --> 00:13:20.559 been the defensive anchor as they hold San Antonio to one oh six. That's 174 00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:28.240 a good number, and the Clippers somehow were able to clean up the turnovers 175 00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:33.600 in the fourth where I want to say they only had two turnovers. Let 176 00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:39.679 me see, Oh, they had three leading to zero points and Saint Antonio 177 00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:43.279 had three leading to seven for the Clippers. Finally, they started to make 178 00:13:43.320 --> 00:13:50.279 the Spurs pay because going into the second half off of seven Spurs turnovers, 179 00:13:50.399 --> 00:13:56.200 the Clippers had just four points off of eight Clippers turnovers in the first half, 180 00:13:56.240 --> 00:14:01.840 the Spurs had fifteen, and even with an unreal performance from Devin Vacel 181 00:14:01.879 --> 00:14:09.039 who finished twelve of sixteen a career high twenty nine four or five from distance, 182 00:14:09.600 --> 00:14:13.039 Clippers hold on. They hold the Spurs to just twenty points in the 183 00:14:13.080 --> 00:14:18.080 fourth after a great first quarter where the Clippers led by seventeen, got out 184 00:14:18.080 --> 00:14:20.000 of it leading by ten, held the Spurs to just eighteen points in the 185 00:14:20.039 --> 00:14:24.399 first They closed out the fourth as well, holding them to twenty while the 186 00:14:24.399 --> 00:14:30.360 Clippers had thirty one points in that fourth quarter. Paul George said he wants 187 00:14:30.360 --> 00:14:33.720 to be the best defensive player to start games the first six minutes and to 188 00:14:33.879 --> 00:14:41.120 end games the final six minutes eight six six nine, eight seven two five. 189 00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:45.200 Seventy of the phone numbers were screening your phone calls here. Paul George, 190 00:14:45.240 --> 00:14:48.720 by the way, he might be your Western Conference Player of the week. 191 00:14:48.200 --> 00:14:54.399 He's definitely going to be in the running. Another thirty five point performance 192 00:14:54.759 --> 00:15:01.519 on twelve of seventeen shooting, and when five of seven from three big three 193 00:15:01.559 --> 00:15:05.159 pointer in the fourth quarter Marcus moore Is The only threes he hit were huge 194 00:15:05.159 --> 00:15:09.480 ones on the fourth But Paul George had fifteen in that third quarter just to 195 00:15:09.559 --> 00:15:13.039 keep the Clippers within striking distance, because after leading by seventeen in the first 196 00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:18.519 quarter, they were down at the half by four, They were down by 197 00:15:18.559 --> 00:15:26.159 ten in the third quarter, and Paul George just refuses to let them lose 198 00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:30.879 right now. Ever, since he called himself out for a bad performance against 199 00:15:30.879 --> 00:15:33.320 the Pelicans or for a bad start to the season, outside of that forty 200 00:15:33.320 --> 00:15:39.159 point game in Sacramento, he has been on a tear now the last three 201 00:15:39.240 --> 00:15:43.120 games for Paul George. Let me give you these box scores. This these 202 00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:50.320 stat lines. Thirty five against Houston back in downtown Los Angeles plus nine boards, 203 00:15:50.320 --> 00:15:52.759 eight assists, two blocks, and six steals, had twenty eight in 204 00:15:52.840 --> 00:15:56.279 Houston Wednesday night, and they're one on nine, one on one victory over 205 00:15:56.320 --> 00:16:03.360 the Rockets plus five assists, and tonight thirty five again plus five assists, 206 00:16:03.639 --> 00:16:07.559 five turnovers. You'll live with it. But twelve of seventeen shooting seventy percent 207 00:16:07.200 --> 00:16:11.320 from the field. Even better from three, it's seventy one percent on five 208 00:16:11.360 --> 00:16:15.120 of seven shooting. I told you the three point shooting would come around. 209 00:16:15.879 --> 00:16:19.600 They have too many good three point shooters. This isn't a personnel issue, 210 00:16:19.919 --> 00:16:25.639 like what's going on with the basketball team across the hall. The Clippers have 211 00:16:25.799 --> 00:16:29.360 the guys, they just haven't been making them. They've had the looks, 212 00:16:29.519 --> 00:16:33.440 they haven't made them. Fifteen to thirty three, that's forty six percent just 213 00:16:33.519 --> 00:16:37.840 about from the outside in this one, as they've been shooting only thirty one 214 00:16:37.879 --> 00:16:44.720 percent from three on the season, they're starting to drop. And if they 215 00:16:44.720 --> 00:16:48.200 can just control the turnovers and do a little bit better of a job on 216 00:16:48.240 --> 00:16:51.600 the offensive rebounds where well sand It's Tony only had six in this one to 217 00:16:51.679 --> 00:16:56.399 the Clippers three, they're going to be in business. Offensively. They're starting 218 00:16:56.679 --> 00:17:00.360 to turn things around. The last couple of games. You can see it. 219 00:17:00.399 --> 00:17:04.640 Defensively they've been good. They've been top five. They were good enough 220 00:17:04.640 --> 00:17:08.359 tonight, especially when they had to be down the stretch. All right, 221 00:17:08.440 --> 00:17:14.799 let's start things off with Chrissie Boy, back to back this week for Chrissie 222 00:17:14.799 --> 00:17:18.960 Boy and pennsyl in Erie, Pennsylvania. Chrissie Boy, what's up? Hey? 223 00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:22.119 Thanks Helena Adam, Wow, great stuff. Hard to argue anything there. 224 00:17:22.119 --> 00:17:26.200 It's a lot of fun though with the Clippers. Hopefully paulbur and the 225 00:17:26.240 --> 00:17:33.079 crew can do it this year. Meantime, hard to overcome Hartenstein out here 226 00:17:33.240 --> 00:17:38.480 with the Knicks, and you know, without a couple of players for the 227 00:17:38.559 --> 00:17:45.160 Sixers, but still Hartenstein was phenomenal. Hartenstein's a very good player. The 228 00:17:45.720 --> 00:17:48.799 Clippers couldn't afford to keep him. Unfortunately he got eight million a year. 229 00:17:48.839 --> 00:17:52.279 All they had left to give was six million per year. They gave it 230 00:17:52.319 --> 00:17:56.000 to John Wall who's had a nice start to this season and just had at 231 00:17:56.039 --> 00:18:00.480 least his best quarter tonight in the fourth. Great stuff, Thank you, 232 00:18:00.519 --> 00:18:03.920 appreciate it. I'm a great night, all right, Chrissy boy appreciates you. 233 00:18:03.119 --> 00:18:07.359 Eight six sixty nine eight seven two five seventy eight six six ninety eight 234 00:18:07.400 --> 00:18:11.359 seven two five seventy as the phone number coming back, you'll hear from John 235 00:18:11.400 --> 00:18:15.119 Wall. I just mentioned, by the way, we're monitoring Luke Kennard, 236 00:18:15.119 --> 00:18:19.480 who went out in the first half, only played nine minutes, and I 237 00:18:19.519 --> 00:18:26.359 don't want to give out the wrong injury update here. We'll update you on 238 00:18:26.440 --> 00:18:30.359 the other side of what's going on with Luke Kennard. Clippers had to overcome 239 00:18:30.359 --> 00:18:34.480 the loss of him no Roco obviously, no Kawhi Leonard against San Antonio, 240 00:18:34.519 --> 00:18:37.799 who was coming off their worst loss in franchise history, but they were missing 241 00:18:37.799 --> 00:18:42.359 their best players. They brought him back in Johnson and they got an unreal 242 00:18:42.400 --> 00:18:48.759 performance from Devin Fasel, a great Papvitch team. You knew he had their 243 00:18:48.799 --> 00:18:52.279 attention. After they lost by almost fifty to the Raptors. The other night, 244 00:18:53.039 --> 00:18:56.759 Kelton Johnson was back. This is a very good road victory for the 245 00:18:56.799 --> 00:19:00.440 Clippers. Dare I say their best victory of the season three straight. Now 246 00:19:02.279 --> 00:19:06.480 they return home to take on Utah Sunday night. More on that plus Charles 247 00:19:06.480 --> 00:19:08.960 Mackler from Clips and Dip. I'm out of Moslin. You're listening the Clipper 248 00:19:08.960 --> 00:19:21.519 stock here on AM five seventy y'all a sports front. It was blocked by 249 00:19:21.640 --> 00:19:26.920 George. This is LA Clippers basketball. He is a one man record crawl 250 00:19:26.960 --> 00:19:33.119 and defensive man on the home of your LA Clippers. From the bottom of 251 00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:34.920 my will be blow was biting his game. I'm I'm gonna give him the 252 00:19:34.960 --> 00:19:38.680 stop. The l who the most players claim to be it get it from 253 00:19:38.680 --> 00:19:41.839 the Eight Counties at home of the Bacon Clippers win one thirteen to one oh 254 00:19:41.960 --> 00:19:47.400 six in San Antonio over the Spurs. Welcome back into your postgame show. 255 00:19:47.440 --> 00:19:51.440 This is Clippers stock. I'm out of Moslin eight six six nine eight seven 256 00:19:51.480 --> 00:19:55.079 two five seventy eight six six nine eight seven two five seventies still to come, 257 00:19:55.079 --> 00:19:57.279 and you'll hear from John Wall. We'll get to Charles Mockler from clips 258 00:19:57.279 --> 00:20:02.960 and dip speaking john Wall, four of his six assists coming in that fourth 259 00:20:03.039 --> 00:20:07.599 quarter, a couple of beautiful ones to Viza Zoo Boss. Those two have 260 00:20:07.640 --> 00:20:11.720 been a really good ten I'm working together. John Wall has worked well with 261 00:20:11.799 --> 00:20:17.279 centers and big men in the past, but the downhill attack getting layups and 262 00:20:17.319 --> 00:20:21.839 then fighting Paul George for a three point or two PG thirteen with eight of 263 00:20:21.880 --> 00:20:26.519 his thirty five points in the fourth quarter and has been on a tear. 264 00:20:26.400 --> 00:20:33.039 And it's not a coincidence that had happened. After he said I'm taking responsibility. 265 00:20:33.160 --> 00:20:37.039 It's my fault. We have this record right now and we're gonna turn 266 00:20:37.079 --> 00:20:45.279 this around. And he's completely lived up to every bit of those words with 267 00:20:45.319 --> 00:20:52.000 his actions, but especially the last three games now Paul George two thirty five 268 00:20:52.039 --> 00:20:56.039 point games in between there a twenty eight point game. The all around game 269 00:20:56.079 --> 00:21:00.359 has been great from him, and the Clippers offense slowly but surely is darting 270 00:21:00.400 --> 00:21:04.400 to come alive where they put up fifty nine points in the second half they 271 00:21:04.480 --> 00:21:08.200 win one thirteen to one oh six, three straight victories. Now they're coming 272 00:21:08.240 --> 00:21:11.720 back home and take on the Utah Jazz Sunday night in downtown Los Angeles. 273 00:21:11.720 --> 00:21:15.240 Tip time for that once at seven, Clippers countdown at six, Let's go 274 00:21:15.359 --> 00:21:18.680 to Javier and the Habber Heights. Javier, you're on Clippers stop without hm 275 00:21:18.680 --> 00:21:22.799 Aslin. What's up? What's up at him? He likes you said earlier, 276 00:21:22.920 --> 00:21:26.640 Paul George. He's just plain out of his mind. He's not gonna 277 00:21:26.720 --> 00:21:30.920 let them lose. Since that one game that he said that he was, 278 00:21:30.039 --> 00:21:36.680 you know, his responsibility, he's been playing. I'll standing last number one 279 00:21:37.079 --> 00:21:41.000 the second team. John Wall, I mean what he played twenty seven minutes 280 00:21:41.559 --> 00:21:45.160 and he has fifteen points and zero turnovers. For a minute, Dart said 281 00:21:45.160 --> 00:21:48.359 he was John Stockton. I mean no, it was just John Wall. 282 00:21:48.400 --> 00:21:52.279 It was just five time All Star John Wall. I'd be but zero turns. 283 00:21:52.440 --> 00:21:56.720 I mean I was like I saw the Boston like Zoo trues Wold and 284 00:21:56.920 --> 00:22:02.319 the last inger Adam Zoobach. I mean, I mean, what is the 285 00:22:02.359 --> 00:22:07.720 state team rebounds points? I mean the win. He explain he has a 286 00:22:07.799 --> 00:22:11.640 chance to make the All Star team. I mean honestly as the center of 287 00:22:11.720 --> 00:22:15.400 course, because he's just been out of his mind and the last year of 288 00:22:15.680 --> 00:22:18.880 Adam. What's going on with Luke Nard is he okay, I got the 289 00:22:18.079 --> 00:22:22.079 update for you, Javier. Thanks for the handoff. Good segue. So 290 00:22:22.240 --> 00:22:26.480 Luca Nard left the game in the first half with chess discomfort. Coach Lou 291 00:22:26.559 --> 00:22:32.880 post game said he's fine. He's flying back with the team tonight. He 292 00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:34.960 could have come back into tonight's game. Clippers wanted to play it safe. 293 00:22:36.599 --> 00:22:38.519 They found a way anyways. I do want to give a shout out to 294 00:22:38.519 --> 00:22:42.000 Reggie Jackson two, who played better. It has been taking a lot of 295 00:22:42.039 --> 00:22:47.000 heat, but he had a big three pointer, big government with a big 296 00:22:47.039 --> 00:22:52.960 bailout three in the fourth started the game off quick with He had seven straight 297 00:22:52.960 --> 00:22:56.559 points for the Clippers at one point. But John Wall in that fourth quarter 298 00:22:56.960 --> 00:23:02.000 he generated nine straight points from himself and passes to Evitza Zoo Bots who's finishing 299 00:23:02.160 --> 00:23:07.160 everything around the rim right now. Zu's a monster, he is. He 300 00:23:07.720 --> 00:23:11.720 had three blocks. I think at the first quarter. Zoo is feasting, 301 00:23:12.440 --> 00:23:18.880 beasting. Never seen him play this good consistently, and he's been good. 302 00:23:19.160 --> 00:23:23.799 But he's still just twenty five. He's still getting better and he's been their 303 00:23:23.839 --> 00:23:29.200 most consistent players so far this season. Morris in Long Beach, you're on 304 00:23:29.240 --> 00:23:33.480 Clippers talking without in Maslin, what's up Morris? The clip the Clippers beat 305 00:23:33.519 --> 00:23:37.160 again. Yeah, they won the game, but everybody's saying that they're not 306 00:23:37.440 --> 00:23:40.000 the same. Well, let me tell you something. Don't you be in 307 00:23:40.079 --> 00:23:45.799 those square The Clippers going to win and everybody see that's rock. We got 308 00:23:45.920 --> 00:23:49.759 a team in it ain't no doubt. My mama's ego aa in show my 309 00:23:49.920 --> 00:23:56.559 mama's agwa in show Morris and long Beach has left the building. Well, 310 00:23:56.759 --> 00:24:03.880 Don Morris our first rhyme of the season. While we have a moment tough 311 00:24:03.920 --> 00:24:07.839 to follow that, Let's pause ten seconds for station identification. Here on AM 312 00:24:07.880 --> 00:24:12.960 five to seventy al A Sports, this is La Clippers Basketball, AM five 313 00:24:14.039 --> 00:24:18.200 seventy KLAC, Los Angeles, ninety eight seven KYSR HD to Los Angeles and 314 00:24:18.359 --> 00:24:23.119 iHeart radio station. All right, let's hear from John Wall postgame, who 315 00:24:23.799 --> 00:24:30.720 absolutely was critical and a difference maker, played all twelve minutes in the fourth 316 00:24:30.799 --> 00:24:33.759 quarter, went for a season nine minutes at twenty seven. It's a great 317 00:24:33.839 --> 00:24:38.440 sign, but most importantly it's just the play. Six assists to zero turnovers, 318 00:24:38.720 --> 00:24:42.559 fifteen points nine in the fourth Here he was post game, I believe 319 00:24:42.599 --> 00:24:48.559 with Jimmie Majo those guys just playing well, I wasn't there playing will and 320 00:24:48.759 --> 00:24:49.880 then my motions get investment in that game. But for me to be able 321 00:24:49.880 --> 00:24:52.799 need to put his team haven't come out and competed out level and do today 322 00:24:52.799 --> 00:24:55.799 they want me to do it. I wasn't wait as much as possible, 323 00:24:56.319 --> 00:24:57.960 you know, looking at the way that TJ has gone so far, still 324 00:24:59.000 --> 00:25:00.599 early in the seeds and you guys were down, you were up to quite 325 00:25:00.599 --> 00:25:03.160 a bit in that first quarter, seventeen points. Do you end up pointing 326 00:25:03.160 --> 00:25:07.119 into the half trailing who was the mind instead of the team in order to 327 00:25:07.160 --> 00:25:08.480 get back in and make that place? Oh? Just me. I gave 328 00:25:08.519 --> 00:25:11.680 him three back door lay us. I mean that's what we can do. 329 00:25:11.200 --> 00:25:12.920 Even when we made a point in the third quarter, I gave a big 330 00:25:12.920 --> 00:25:15.240 backdoor lanup. But we've got to do a better job of not point switching, 331 00:25:15.920 --> 00:25:18.920 being at the box out do the little things when we got there. 332 00:25:18.000 --> 00:25:21.240 Now it starts to me just being vote. But we know Peas. I 333 00:25:21.319 --> 00:25:23.440 got Peas go to He made some many big plays for us. I even 334 00:25:23.440 --> 00:25:26.519 was sitting think of Rold that I never did before and getting the ball. 335 00:25:26.599 --> 00:25:29.400 So that's a whole new adjustment. For me, But I'm enjoying the whole 336 00:25:29.400 --> 00:25:32.279 process and it's something new that I gotta he wasn't half into. It's a 337 00:25:32.319 --> 00:25:36.079 great game, John, thank you. Yeah, that's the other part of 338 00:25:36.160 --> 00:25:41.359 this. John Wall's a vet now, he's a veteran in the locker room. 339 00:25:41.920 --> 00:25:47.119 He also spoke up after the team lost three straight and then four straight, 340 00:25:48.240 --> 00:25:51.880 and he got their attention. He's getting everyone's attention with his play. 341 00:25:52.920 --> 00:25:57.240 He keeps playing like this, he may end up being the starter. I 342 00:25:57.279 --> 00:26:02.440 wouldn't be shocked. But it's working with he and Reggie Jackson out at the 343 00:26:02.519 --> 00:26:06.000 end of the game. That's the encouraging part. Those two have played well 344 00:26:06.039 --> 00:26:10.240 together. They both assisted each other. I believe on three pointers. All 345 00:26:10.319 --> 00:26:11.480 right, quick time out, we'll come back. We'll get back to your 346 00:26:11.480 --> 00:26:15.160 phone calls eight six six ninety eight seven two five seventy eight six six ninety 347 00:26:15.160 --> 00:26:18.440 eight seven two five seventy.

In the Clippers talk, I'm out of maslin to eight 354 00:26:53.720 --> 00:26:57.319 six six nine eight seven two five seventy eight six six, nine eight seven 355 00:26:57.440 --> 00:27:03.480 two five seventy is the phone numbers? You know the anthem? You know 356 00:27:03.599 --> 00:27:07.599 the song? All right? P Nipsey Hustle. We'll use it on clips 357 00:27:07.640 --> 00:27:11.559 and dips with William Updyke and Charles Mockler who's joining us now. Post game 358 00:27:12.119 --> 00:27:17.319 after the Clippers get a seven point victory after being up by seventeen, then 359 00:27:17.400 --> 00:27:21.200 being down by ten and the second half they come through with a victory, 360 00:27:21.960 --> 00:27:25.000 Chuck, who are you giving your game ball too? Because there's a few 361 00:27:25.039 --> 00:27:29.519 guys that choose from tonight. I was gonna ask if we who we should 362 00:27:29.519 --> 00:27:33.599 talk about first, Paul George or a Visa Zubos. I think so before 363 00:27:33.599 --> 00:27:36.960 I give out my game ball, I want to share the staff that Joey 364 00:27:37.079 --> 00:27:41.359 Lynn said on Twitter. He said games with at least ten points, twelve 365 00:27:41.440 --> 00:27:47.200 rebounds, and four blocks this season of Visa Zubos four rest of the NBA 366 00:27:47.359 --> 00:27:53.559 combined three. Yeah, that's a series win, oh very much. So. 367 00:27:53.799 --> 00:27:59.039 That being said, I'm giving it to Paul George for the night's game. 368 00:27:59.640 --> 00:28:04.240 Thirty two point on sixty eight percent shooting. He took over when he 369 00:28:04.319 --> 00:28:07.920 had to, He had six boards. He helped kind of dig this like 370 00:28:08.079 --> 00:28:14.519 momentum hole that the Clippers ran during the Devon Basil game. I think I 371 00:28:14.559 --> 00:28:18.920 gotta give it to Paul George. I think the superstar gets gets the game 372 00:28:18.000 --> 00:28:22.319 ball tonight, especially after the athletic quote where he was saying, you know, 373 00:28:22.400 --> 00:28:25.559 we got you to Kawai and stuff like that. But this is what 374 00:28:25.759 --> 00:28:27.400 Paul George does and has been doing since you said he was going to get 375 00:28:27.440 --> 00:28:30.119 better. So I gotta give it to PG. I mean, he had 376 00:28:30.160 --> 00:28:33.319 more than half their points in the third quarter. The Clippers had twenty eight. 377 00:28:33.559 --> 00:28:37.079 He had fifteen of those, and you're right he kind of stemmed the 378 00:28:37.160 --> 00:28:41.119 tide. Whenever the Spurs were trying to pull away, it was Paul George 379 00:28:41.160 --> 00:28:45.319 coming up with big plays. Now, maybe I'm biased, but John walk 380 00:28:45.359 --> 00:28:48.880 could touch that game ball as well. After what he did in the fourth 381 00:28:49.000 --> 00:28:53.960 quarter. Nine of his fifteen points six assists to zero turnovers, a couple 382 00:28:55.039 --> 00:28:57.200 of them to a Visa Zoo boss. The no look lobbed to him was 383 00:28:57.279 --> 00:29:02.960 just ridiculous. But he played his season five twenty seven minutes and played the 384 00:29:03.200 --> 00:29:07.799 entire final period. I thought this was at least his best quarter in the 385 00:29:07.880 --> 00:29:11.200 fourth as a Clipper, maybe his best game so far. I think I 386 00:29:11.319 --> 00:29:14.599 have to agree with you on the whole this was. I mean, he 387 00:29:14.720 --> 00:29:17.279 did what we needed right and gave us a shot in the arm. He 388 00:29:17.440 --> 00:29:19.960 played, you know, a lot of minutes, kind of maybe a little 389 00:29:21.039 --> 00:29:22.880 sooner than some of us expected, given his time off and things like that. 390 00:29:23.599 --> 00:29:27.000 The shot selection is a little tough at times. I did love what 391 00:29:27.119 --> 00:29:30.839 he did tonight, but sometimes really in the shot clock he was kind of 392 00:29:30.880 --> 00:29:33.240 putting some things up. It felt like he really settled in that fourth though, 393 00:29:33.319 --> 00:29:37.799 like you said, and you know, no one's gonna be mad at 394 00:29:37.880 --> 00:29:41.559 him getting six assists and no turnovers. So I think John Wall and Zoo 395 00:29:41.920 --> 00:29:45.160 you're right, they can both hand the game ball off to Paul George for 396 00:29:45.240 --> 00:29:48.599 this one. Yeah, John Wall definitely took a three pointer that was a 397 00:29:48.640 --> 00:29:52.920 little bit ill advised before the team even got down there, because he's so 398 00:29:52.079 --> 00:29:56.400 quick down the court, but at least he called himself out immediately afterwards and 399 00:29:56.559 --> 00:30:00.559 my bad, my fault. That's what's nice about John Wall is that every 400 00:30:00.599 --> 00:30:03.680 postgame interview you've seen from him, you know, we talked about tonight, 401 00:30:03.720 --> 00:30:07.319 he talked about how in Houston, you know, maybe his emotions got better 402 00:30:07.359 --> 00:30:08.559 of him and he didn't play as well. He had a game where he 403 00:30:08.640 --> 00:30:12.359 talked about how he didn't find Luke Kennard on a couple of you know, 404 00:30:12.480 --> 00:30:17.279 passes that he should have hit Luke with and things like that. So he's 405 00:30:17.400 --> 00:30:19.880 very cognizant of what he needs to work on, and that's really the most 406 00:30:21.200 --> 00:30:22.680 kind of encouraging thing you can hope for as a Clippers fan. I think 407 00:30:22.720 --> 00:30:26.160 is someone who's like, oh, they're acknowledging the things that I also think 408 00:30:26.200 --> 00:30:29.720 they maybe he didn't do a good job on. So I mean, it's 409 00:30:29.759 --> 00:30:32.519 been a little bit up and down for John Wall, but I think that's 410 00:30:32.559 --> 00:30:36.079 expected given again the time off and an entire new fit for him with this 411 00:30:36.200 --> 00:30:40.920 team. I always love the accountability there and he has shown some good leadership 412 00:30:41.079 --> 00:30:44.799 and I thought it's been interesting so far in the early season. Some of 413 00:30:44.839 --> 00:30:48.440 the lineups that have worked involved him and Reggie Jackson on the floor at the 414 00:30:48.480 --> 00:30:52.559 same time, like in the fourth quarter of this one. And I'm hoping 415 00:30:52.640 --> 00:30:56.960 that three point that Reggie Jackson hit, which was a patented bailout type of 416 00:30:56.000 --> 00:31:00.599 three from Big Government, that can get him going. Because a really nice 417 00:31:00.599 --> 00:31:03.880 start to the game with seventh straight at one point in the first quarter, 418 00:31:03.480 --> 00:31:07.519 and he finished five of eleven, fourteen points, five assists, just two 419 00:31:07.599 --> 00:31:12.680 turnovers. It was a solid performance from Reggie. I think overall, yeah, 420 00:31:12.759 --> 00:31:17.480 Reggie, I mean, he played so much last year that I wouldn't 421 00:31:17.480 --> 00:31:22.359 be surprised, as offseason consisted of him pretty much just napping and getting his 422 00:31:22.440 --> 00:31:26.119 body right right, Like not a lot of guys play the most are close 423 00:31:26.200 --> 00:31:30.200 to the most total minutes they've ever played at their latest season in the league, 424 00:31:30.279 --> 00:31:33.480 you know, so I think it was gonna take some time. It's 425 00:31:33.480 --> 00:31:37.240 gonna see growing pain along with Norm two, who was efficient tonight as well. 426 00:31:37.359 --> 00:31:41.240 But Reggie, I don't know, Like at this point, if you've 427 00:31:41.240 --> 00:31:45.880 been watching the Clippers for I will say even just two seasons, and you 428 00:31:45.960 --> 00:31:48.319 don't understand what the Reggie roller coaster is. I don't really know what fans 429 00:31:48.359 --> 00:31:52.039 want at this point from Reggie he hits I'm like, kind of like mook 430 00:31:52.079 --> 00:31:56.480 tonight, right, Like Morris hit the three when it really counted. It 431 00:31:56.599 --> 00:31:59.640 was a lot for most of the night. But these are guys who they're 432 00:31:59.640 --> 00:32:02.960 a thing from being the one and two options to being the third or fourth, 433 00:32:04.039 --> 00:32:07.079 fourth or fifth or something like that. So from Reggie in thirty seven 434 00:32:07.119 --> 00:32:10.279 minutes, you kind of got to take that in a close game. One 435 00:32:10.279 --> 00:32:14.839 of my favorite moments speaking to John Wall and the camaraderie and some of the 436 00:32:14.960 --> 00:32:19.759 leadership there in the veteran presence. Marcus Morris is on the floor and instead 437 00:32:19.799 --> 00:32:22.119 of going over and picking him up right away, john Wall just laid down 438 00:32:22.160 --> 00:32:24.880 and slid next to him, like I need a break too, man. 439 00:32:25.000 --> 00:32:29.720 This fourth quarter, I've been playing the entire time, most minutes I've played 440 00:32:29.759 --> 00:32:34.359 all season. But somebody who has been absolutely the stalwart for this team, 441 00:32:34.440 --> 00:32:37.799 a workhorse of Visa Zubots, has just been so good. I mean, 442 00:32:37.920 --> 00:32:42.480 he's he's flirting with he should get you know, it's way too early for 443 00:32:42.599 --> 00:32:45.880 this, but he should be on the radar for All Star recognition with the 444 00:32:45.920 --> 00:32:52.119 way he has played as a big seventeen and fifteen four blocks and every block 445 00:32:52.240 --> 00:32:55.319 now is just like it's like out of a movie. You know, it's 446 00:32:55.599 --> 00:33:01.440 real. It's sent back. Yeah in two growing up, intimidating plays from 447 00:33:01.519 --> 00:33:05.440 Zoo Boss, but the throwdowns the same way. On the other end, 448 00:33:05.559 --> 00:33:08.359 he's just more a force. He's more vicious out there, and I think 449 00:33:08.440 --> 00:33:12.519 that's what a lot of fans have been wanting from him. But this is 450 00:33:12.559 --> 00:33:15.359 the best start to a season certainly he's ever had. I mean, this 451 00:33:15.519 --> 00:33:20.440 is what happens when Zoo gets more time. If you've been a Zoo believer, 452 00:33:21.000 --> 00:33:22.039 you've kind of said, like, you know, he doesn't get a 453 00:33:22.079 --> 00:33:24.200 lot of time, so he can't really show what he can do on this 454 00:33:24.240 --> 00:33:29.279 Clippers team, which does make sense. But I mean, thirty six minutes 455 00:33:29.279 --> 00:33:32.519 tonight, like you said, absolutely dominant down low. I think one thing 456 00:33:34.720 --> 00:33:37.519 this really helped Zoo out the season is he played in EuroBasket, and he 457 00:33:37.599 --> 00:33:40.359 played pretty well in euro Basket, kind of will put that ankle injury. 458 00:33:40.680 --> 00:33:45.279 He got some more run before the season started he came in. I mean, 459 00:33:45.400 --> 00:33:46.000 he's a young guy. I know, he's been in the league. 460 00:33:46.119 --> 00:33:50.160 You know, he's one of the longest tenured Clippers, but this has to 461 00:33:50.240 --> 00:33:53.119 be the best shape he's ever coming to the season with coming off of a 462 00:33:53.279 --> 00:34:00.519 competitive euro Basket tournament. So I mean he's been the clippers second best player, 463 00:34:00.599 --> 00:34:04.559 him and Luke Kennard, I think, but I hope it keeps happening. 464 00:34:06.119 --> 00:34:09.760 It's been a godsend when you only have one seemingly serviceable center on the 465 00:34:09.880 --> 00:34:14.199 team who does have to make up for some deficiencies when they go small after 466 00:34:14.280 --> 00:34:17.000 he comes back on the court. Well, the good news is the one 467 00:34:17.239 --> 00:34:22.599 true big man they have with a lot of experience is young, and if 468 00:34:22.639 --> 00:34:24.719 he's not in foul trouble, he's good to go. He has the energy, 469 00:34:24.840 --> 00:34:29.800 he can play heavier minutes and he doesn't get tired. So he's been 470 00:34:29.880 --> 00:34:32.599 great in so many different areas for this team. You mentioned Norman Powell a 471 00:34:32.639 --> 00:34:36.440 little bit earlier. He did have ten points in that second quarter. He 472 00:34:36.599 --> 00:34:39.519 was big then, just trying to well, trying to hold back the San 473 00:34:39.559 --> 00:34:44.559 Antonio Spurs with who had a twenty one point turnaround in the first half. 474 00:34:44.719 --> 00:34:47.840 But I still he's not there yet. He's not where you want to see 475 00:34:47.880 --> 00:34:52.400 him yet. He did contribute with seven boards sometimes when other things aren't work 476 00:34:52.480 --> 00:34:55.039 and find another way to contribute. But if you can win right now, 477 00:34:55.480 --> 00:35:00.639 as the Clippers not playing your best basketball, it's still encouraging. Early on, 478 00:35:02.239 --> 00:35:06.559 absolutely, and we saw them hit forty five percent of their threason. 479 00:35:06.639 --> 00:35:08.960 I think this is the game they hit the most threes of any game so 480 00:35:09.039 --> 00:35:15.199 far this season at fifteen. And you're going against a well coached team in 481 00:35:15.280 --> 00:35:17.440 the Spurs. I know they lost by forty or whatever against the Raptors. 482 00:35:17.639 --> 00:35:22.960 That's terrible. That was a warning side if anything, right, very much 483 00:35:23.000 --> 00:35:25.840 though, Pop. You know a Pop coach team is going to be well 484 00:35:25.960 --> 00:35:30.480 drilled. And also if you just looked, if you watch this game and 485 00:35:30.559 --> 00:35:35.800 you saw how the offense is operated the San Antonio Spurs right now. I 486 00:35:35.920 --> 00:35:37.920 say this at eight eighteen pm Friday, November fourth, for a time, 487 00:35:37.960 --> 00:35:43.800 stamper everybody out there have a bit more going on offensively than the Clippers do. 488 00:35:44.280 --> 00:35:45.840 For a couple of reasons. Right We're down our best player, we're 489 00:35:45.880 --> 00:35:50.199 down our third best defender, and things like that. We lost Luke Kennard 490 00:35:50.320 --> 00:35:52.400 for the majority of this game the chest discomfort, so the off ball movement 491 00:35:52.519 --> 00:35:58.159 was off. We playing with a simple offense right now, and when guys 492 00:35:58.239 --> 00:36:01.159 hit shots, even a simple offense and still gets you to win. Yeah, 493 00:36:01.239 --> 00:36:05.480 and the Clippers offense, it's starting to come out of that funk they 494 00:36:05.519 --> 00:36:08.360 were in. We're coming into this game. They were twenty ninth in that 495 00:36:08.559 --> 00:36:13.480 category. But the defense, especially in the first and fourth quarters in this 496 00:36:13.599 --> 00:36:15.360 one and all season long overall, they've been top five. So far. 497 00:36:16.000 --> 00:36:20.400 They improved to five and four. They win one thirteen to one oh six 498 00:36:20.559 --> 00:36:22.480 over the Spurs. So now they come back home and take on a Utah 499 00:36:22.559 --> 00:36:27.320 squad chuck without giving up the score, and what's going on and then other 500 00:36:27.440 --> 00:36:30.079 game tonight. Just how do you feel about the vibes right now? With 501 00:36:30.159 --> 00:36:35.599 the Clippers on a three game winning streak and heading into that game Sunday night. 502 00:36:37.159 --> 00:36:38.519 I mean, the Clippers are going to go as far right now as 503 00:36:38.639 --> 00:36:43.280 PG takes them right and PG has been on a tear, Zoo has been 504 00:36:43.320 --> 00:36:45.960 on a tear. Hopefully Luke's gonna be back. He didn't travel back with 505 00:36:45.039 --> 00:36:50.519 the team. I don't know what to make the Jazz right now. I 506 00:36:50.599 --> 00:36:53.639 don't think I'm the only person in that situation, but I'm feeling pretty good 507 00:36:53.639 --> 00:36:59.239 about this one. I think it's hard to not ride the way of this 508 00:36:59.280 --> 00:37:04.480 winning streak, right yeah, Clippers starting to maybe turn that corner, and 509 00:37:04.559 --> 00:37:07.400 they are being led by Paul George. He is Chuck Mockler from Clips and 510 00:37:07.519 --> 00:37:10.880 Dip with myself and William Updyke. Chuck, thanks for doing this to night 511 00:37:10.920 --> 00:37:14.400 on Clippers Talk. We'll post it on both sides. A little double dip. 512 00:37:15.519 --> 00:37:17.880 There we go. Everyone loves the double dip. Coming up next, 513 00:37:19.840 --> 00:37:22.920 we're dipping back into your phone calls eight six six nine, eight seven two, 514 00:37:22.000 --> 00:37:27.119 five seventy trying to find postgame audio.

I'll send you in the universe. The unis the 517 00:37:36.119 --> 00:37:43.119 universe, the unifise that I ever had, I ever had. Bock by 518 00:37:43.280 --> 00:37:47.519 George. This is La Clippers basketball. He is a one man king Crawl 519 00:37:47.559 --> 00:37:52.480 and he beets a man on the home of your La Clippers. Every time 520 00:37:52.559 --> 00:38:00.119 I'm up UNI, everybody go up and they stay there. Clippers win one 521 00:38:00.280 --> 00:38:05.960 thirteen to one oh six over the Spurs in San Antonio. It turned a 522 00:38:06.000 --> 00:38:08.800 four game losing streak into a three game winning streak. They'll try to keep 523 00:38:08.840 --> 00:38:13.199 it going. Against the Utah Jazz Sunday night back in downtown Los Angeles. 524 00:38:13.360 --> 00:38:16.199 This is Clippers Talk. I'm out of Auslin eight six six ninety seven two 525 00:38:16.280 --> 00:38:21.519 five seventy before we hear from coach Lou Damian in La has been holding on 526 00:38:21.719 --> 00:38:24.559 Damian? What's up here? On Clippers Talk? Triple A. How are 527 00:38:24.599 --> 00:38:28.119 you doing? Brother? Are you two stepping? Are you doing your Texas 528 00:38:28.199 --> 00:38:34.119 two step? Bro? No? I'm doing the douggie John Walls Yeah, 529 00:38:34.239 --> 00:38:37.039 man, Well another great win. How about this guy's Bubox cause you finally 530 00:38:37.159 --> 00:38:40.159 arrived at what we've been waiting for. It, we're finally about to get 531 00:38:40.199 --> 00:38:43.960 it. Is he gonna keep this up the whole season? I mean he's 532 00:38:44.039 --> 00:38:46.800 been good and if you give him minutes, like Charles said, he delivers. 533 00:38:47.119 --> 00:38:52.719 He just has to get those opportunities. I believe that what we're seeing 534 00:38:52.840 --> 00:38:57.239 right now, from Bubox to four five blocks a night, I think that's 535 00:38:57.280 --> 00:39:00.480 something that we've been waiting for for him to really dominate, you know, 536 00:39:00.639 --> 00:39:02.639 and kind of let the monster out a little bit. And it's great to 537 00:39:02.719 --> 00:39:07.400 see that from him. Paul George, I love it how people on our 538 00:39:07.480 --> 00:39:10.039 team when they say that they're gonna do better. They actually do better, 539 00:39:10.400 --> 00:39:13.840 and they don't just post and tweet about it, you know what I'm saying, 540 00:39:13.880 --> 00:39:16.320 and then nothing happens. So big up to Paul George for being a 541 00:39:16.360 --> 00:39:20.280 man of his words. He's a guy we can count on when we're down 542 00:39:20.360 --> 00:39:22.639 in the trenches. Another great win. I just want to let you know 543 00:39:22.760 --> 00:39:24.920 that you're doing a great job, bro. Thanks for taking my car. 544 00:39:25.360 --> 00:39:30.199 They man appreciate you. Hopefully talk to you Sunday night. Now. Zuba 545 00:39:30.400 --> 00:39:35.800 certainly has raised his game to another level. Sometimes you know you're just ready 546 00:39:35.840 --> 00:39:39.480 to meet that opportunity and take that next step. But because they don't have 547 00:39:39.599 --> 00:39:45.599 a true seasoned back up, big man center behind him, if he's not 548 00:39:45.639 --> 00:39:49.239 in foul trouble, he's gonna get more run. And Coach Lu said the 549 00:39:49.320 --> 00:39:52.000 other day that without Kauai, without Roco, he doesn't like going small as 550 00:39:52.119 --> 00:39:54.480 much. It's one thing goes small when you've got a bunch of guys who 551 00:39:54.480 --> 00:39:59.239 are around six seven, six eight out there, it's another win. You 552 00:39:59.360 --> 00:40:02.719 don't have him, you gotta play more of Reggie Jackson, John wall Uh 553 00:40:02.840 --> 00:40:07.280 and Norman Powell and guys like that. Speaking of Coach Lu though here he 554 00:40:07.400 --> 00:40:09.800 was postgame after the Clippers one thirteen to one oh six victory and San Antonio 555 00:40:09.840 --> 00:40:15.119 over the spurs small as in pick and roll and letting PG attack and get 556 00:40:15.159 --> 00:40:19.519 downhill. And we did a good job with drive kicks wing. You know, 557 00:40:19.559 --> 00:40:21.760 we got into the paint, made the right pass, made the right 558 00:40:21.840 --> 00:40:23.880 play. Some shots we did turn down that we should have shot. But 559 00:40:25.159 --> 00:40:27.840 for you know, for the most part, I thought we did a good 560 00:40:27.880 --> 00:40:30.599 job of just getting into the paint, reading the defense and taking the defense 561 00:40:30.679 --> 00:40:32.880 gives you. And I'm having twenty five assists and you know, finally making 562 00:40:34.000 --> 00:40:37.920 you know, fifteen threes, shooting forty five percent. You know, So 563 00:40:38.199 --> 00:40:42.639 I thought all the guys played well, you know, and despite them coming 564 00:40:42.679 --> 00:40:44.800 out and going up ten, I thought we did a good job of keeping 565 00:40:44.840 --> 00:40:47.079 our poison, staying with the game plan. And like I said, PG 566 00:40:47.320 --> 00:40:50.199 was great. You know, he was special. You know, I thought 567 00:40:50.280 --> 00:40:52.960 Zoo was big, and John came up the bench, he was really big, 568 00:40:52.039 --> 00:40:54.599 and you know, Reggie shot the ball down well down the stretch. 569 00:40:55.159 --> 00:41:00.599 Zoo has been consistently playing really, really well. What is it that you've 570 00:41:00.639 --> 00:41:04.800 seen from him in terms of his growth and confidence? Yeah, I think 571 00:41:04.840 --> 00:41:07.079 it's you know, it's a combination of both. But I think, you 572 00:41:07.159 --> 00:41:10.119 know, just being able to play meaningful minutes last year and playing the fourth 573 00:41:10.239 --> 00:41:15.920 quarter in a year before that, playing the fourth quarter and getting that getting 574 00:41:15.920 --> 00:41:20.159 that experience of playing the fourth quarters and playing down the stretch, I think 575 00:41:20.239 --> 00:41:22.920 was huge for him. And like I said before, last year and being 576 00:41:22.960 --> 00:41:25.559 able to post him up a little bit more to take advantage of mismatches. 577 00:41:25.760 --> 00:41:29.079 I thought he did a really good job, so that helped with his confidence 578 00:41:29.119 --> 00:41:34.679 as well. But he's been playing at any elite level right now. Coach 579 00:41:34.800 --> 00:41:38.000 Loup post game, it's a ballet sports for the audio, and he might 580 00:41:38.039 --> 00:41:43.679 have just had the best out of the night. The Clippers assisted on twenty 581 00:41:43.760 --> 00:41:47.079 six of their forty two makes. That means they assisted on sixty percent of 582 00:41:47.159 --> 00:41:52.320 their main made shots. A lot of that is because they were making threes 583 00:41:52.719 --> 00:41:57.199 fifteen of thirty three. I told you, when they start knocking them down, 584 00:41:58.039 --> 00:42:01.079 the floodgates will open, it will progress to the mean. It's going 585 00:42:01.199 --> 00:42:05.039 to happen. They have far too many good shooters on this team to be 586 00:42:05.079 --> 00:42:08.000 shooting thirty one percent from the outside on the season. That changed tonight. 587 00:42:08.360 --> 00:42:10.760 All right, one more phone call before we get out of here. Mystery 588 00:42:10.880 --> 00:42:15.639 caller, you're up here on Clipper Stock. Hey, what's going on? 589 00:42:15.840 --> 00:42:20.840 My name is Chris. Chris. Where you calling from? California? Chris, 590 00:42:20.920 --> 00:42:22.119 appreciate you calling in tonight. What did you think of the ball game? 591 00:42:24.119 --> 00:42:29.159 Man? It just felt good to sit back and enjoy the game. 592 00:42:29.800 --> 00:42:34.079 That four game losing streak was rough to watch, and it just really felt 593 00:42:34.119 --> 00:42:37.840 good, you know. And you guys are hitting everything right on the marker 594 00:42:37.400 --> 00:42:43.039 as far as all of the positives going on with the Clippers, and I 595 00:42:43.159 --> 00:42:45.760 just want to touch up on a couple of things and switch it up because 596 00:42:45.800 --> 00:42:49.119 there's not really much you can say. You guys, I said, have 597 00:42:49.199 --> 00:42:53.840 been saying everything you can say. I'm really excited Zu Bloca is going to 598 00:42:53.920 --> 00:42:58.320 go to the All Star Game this year, you mark my words. He's 599 00:42:58.360 --> 00:43:00.880 consistent. This guy is a dog. I think he's played with every game 600 00:43:01.000 --> 00:43:07.119 last season I remember, so I'm really excited about him. And John Wall 601 00:43:07.519 --> 00:43:12.639 one of my favorite all time players. And man, let's go. Chris. 602 00:43:12.719 --> 00:43:15.199 Appreciate the phone call. Glad you got in here late on Clippers Talk. 603 00:43:16.079 --> 00:43:20.639 Yeah, it's it's time to start talking about him more because he has 604 00:43:20.719 --> 00:43:22.400 been one of the most underrated players I think for a couple of seasons with 605 00:43:22.480 --> 00:43:27.159 his rim protection, but he's been the best out of all the elite centers. 606 00:43:27.199 --> 00:43:30.679 He's been by far the best with his ram protection so far this season. 607 00:43:30.760 --> 00:43:35.000 The numbers say so. With the Vizza Zoo bots. One more Josh 608 00:43:35.119 --> 00:43:38.519 and Carl's bad. You're on Clippers talk, Hi, Josh, Hey Adam. 609 00:43:38.679 --> 00:43:42.920 It's been a long time I have been called U this season at all. 610 00:43:43.000 --> 00:43:45.360 But you're doing a great job as you will. Thanks. I appreciate 611 00:43:45.480 --> 00:43:50.880 Josh calling calling on Sunday night too. Start a streak of your Clippers one 612 00:43:50.960 --> 00:43:52.920 three in a row. You gotta start calling in every night. I know, 613 00:43:53.239 --> 00:43:55.960 I know. I started working during the day so I'm not on my 614 00:43:57.079 --> 00:43:59.639 car at night. I got you, I got you. What do you 615 00:43:59.679 --> 00:44:02.519 think of the game tonight? I loved it. Man. You know, 616 00:44:02.840 --> 00:44:07.599 we've been a little shaky trying to like find that rhythm this season, but 617 00:44:07.960 --> 00:44:12.199 you know, seeing everybody from top to bottom produce it kind of lets us 618 00:44:12.280 --> 00:44:15.079 feel what you know, that's the fans have been kind of hoping for and 619 00:44:15.199 --> 00:44:19.320 expecting. It's just that debt and to get our starters doing what they do, 620 00:44:19.599 --> 00:44:22.039 but to get that help throughout the bench. That's what we've been missing 621 00:44:22.119 --> 00:44:27.039 in thug losses. It's just that inconsistency. And to see him kind of 622 00:44:27.239 --> 00:44:30.079 finally put it together these last three games, I know, not against the 623 00:44:30.119 --> 00:44:34.519 greatest teams, but to see it actually happens, it's really positive and it 624 00:44:34.599 --> 00:44:37.639 feels really good to watch. No. I appreciate the phone call, Josh. 625 00:44:38.480 --> 00:44:43.920 The Clippers got to be feeling much better about themselves. They were staring 626 00:44:44.000 --> 00:44:49.079 at five straight losses, and do not underestimate the fact that Paul George not 627 00:44:49.239 --> 00:44:52.639 only sent them in this direction for three straight wins, calling himself out the 628 00:44:52.719 --> 00:44:58.559 day before, but he hits really two game winners the three four to tie 629 00:44:58.639 --> 00:45:02.159 it, and then the follow over Eric Gordon in that last game in downtown 630 00:45:02.239 --> 00:45:07.639 Los Angeles to beat the Rockets, backing up his talk saying he's got to 631 00:45:07.679 --> 00:45:10.119 be the guy, and then hitting a game winner the next day, and 632 00:45:10.239 --> 00:45:17.599 now they've won three straight. There's a connection there that's not just happenstance. 633 00:45:17.679 --> 00:45:24.000 That is Paul George making it happen and again thirty five points, willing them 634 00:45:24.039 --> 00:45:28.639 to victory again with the help of John Wall. It beats a zoobots Reggie 635 00:45:28.719 --> 00:45:30.440 Jackson a big three late, Marcus Morris with a couple of big threes late, 636 00:45:30.800 --> 00:45:34.239 and Norm Powell those ten points in the second quarter. Was a lot 637 00:45:34.280 --> 00:45:37.719 of different guys. I thought a mere coffee gave them some decent minutes. 638 00:45:37.920 --> 00:45:43.039 Was six points in twelve minutes. A lot of contributors. But yeah, 639 00:45:43.119 --> 00:45:46.480 the competition hasn't been great yet, but the Clippers haven't played great either, 640 00:45:47.119 --> 00:45:51.440 So stack up as many wins as you can while you're not playing your best 641 00:45:51.480 --> 00:45:53.840 basketball and you're still working through a lot of these injuries. That's what they're 642 00:45:53.840 --> 00:45:58.960 doing. Hopefully they can get another victory against the Utah Jazz, bring it 643 00:45:59.039 --> 00:46:00.639 up to four game winnings streak after losing four in a row. That would 644 00:46:00.639 --> 00:46:04.400 be big for them. Sunday Night at Jazz team, they'll talk about a 645 00:46:04.400 --> 00:46:07.760 team that just came together out of nowhere. Everybody thought they were tanking this 646 00:46:07.840 --> 00:46:13.119 season, trading away Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert, and they look great. 647 00:46:13.760 --> 00:46:17.039 And they got a bunch of guys who I think are playing that well together 648 00:46:17.199 --> 00:46:21.920 because they felt like they were deserted by their former teams. Cast offs, 649 00:46:22.800 --> 00:46:24.880 you know, Island of misfit toys, and they got a chip on their 650 00:46:24.880 --> 00:46:28.360 shoulder. They're playing well, so it's gonna be a tough one. Sunday 651 00:46:28.400 --> 00:46:30.599 Night tiptime is at seven. We'll have Clippers count down for you starting at 652 00:46:30.639 --> 00:46:32.800 six before we get out of here.
