WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.280 --> 00:00:04.320
The game is over. Paul George
money in the page, but the postgame

2
00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:08.919
reaction has just be gone. Kawhi
Leonard is so smooth in the mid range.

3
00:00:09.720 --> 00:00:13.519
This is Clippers locker Room, a
recap of today's game and a look

4
00:00:13.519 --> 00:00:18.399
ahead on your hope for LA Clippers
basketball at now your host, you,

5
00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:24.079
sir, are a bad man,
Adam Oslin. Clippers without Kawai, without

6
00:00:24.120 --> 00:00:27.960
Paul George, and they were running
in Memphis and win one forty one to

7
00:00:28.079 --> 00:00:32.159
one thirty two over the Grizzlies.
Welcome into your postgame show. I'm Adam

8
00:00:32.200 --> 00:00:36.520
Oslin. Coming up. We'll get
your second half highlight, your final box

9
00:00:36.560 --> 00:00:39.719
score. You'll hear from Coach Lewan
the players. But first back out to

10
00:00:39.799 --> 00:00:43.320
your voice of the Clippers. No, I gotta say I'm proud of this

11
00:00:43.359 --> 00:00:46.719
team in this one. Didn't know
about Kawhi Leonard until about an hour before

12
00:00:46.759 --> 00:00:50.840
the ballgame. He couldn't go,
doesn't matter. And I'm really happy for

13
00:00:50.920 --> 00:00:54.960
Russell Westbrook. How could you not
be the story for this guy? And

14
00:00:55.399 --> 00:01:00.719
let's just think about this so I
would use because as you heard pregame talk

15
00:01:00.759 --> 00:01:03.560
with Ron Lou we got an early
screening of the new movie Air, So

16
00:01:03.560 --> 00:01:06.480
I would use a quote from there
because I think it fits perfectly here.

17
00:01:06.480 --> 00:01:07.799
But I'm not going to ruin it
for everybody, because I really think that

18
00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:12.560
everybody should go see it. It
was excellent. But essentially, Russell Westbrook

19
00:01:14.120 --> 00:01:17.959
was somebody who was undervalued as a
recruit coming out of high school, had

20
00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:21.439
to really work to get to UCLA
in the first place. And then when

21
00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:23.879
he got to UCLA, they basically
told him like, you're not playing here,

22
00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:26.120
man, You're just gonna come here
and you can work whatever. And

23
00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:30.719
he worked his way not just into
the rotation but as a superstar to the

24
00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:34.760
final four in the NCAA Championship game
as a one two tandem with Kevin Love.

25
00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:40.000
That was unbelievable. And he worked
and he worked and work. He

26
00:01:40.040 --> 00:01:42.760
gets Oklahoma City and I've got a
guy named Kevin Durant there. But Russell

27
00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:47.959
Westbrook is a star the second he
sets foot on an NBA floor, right,

28
00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:52.359
So everybody starts raving about him,
and everybody loves him, and then

29
00:01:52.400 --> 00:01:56.120
you build somebody up and build somebody
up, and then Kevin Durant leaves and

30
00:01:56.159 --> 00:01:59.519
that's when he explodes and becomes the
MVP. And Paul George gets there and

31
00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:01.439
they had some good years, they
had some great moments, they had some

32
00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:05.680
dips. I mean, that's what
everybody does. But after that, it's

33
00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:08.280
been a journey for him and he
set the record for all time triple doubles.

34
00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:12.560
But obviously there's been a lot of
chatter. And what happens is you

35
00:02:12.599 --> 00:02:15.400
get built up and then you get
torn down, and so now it's about

36
00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:19.840
can you build yourself back up?
And well, all he's done since joining

37
00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:24.719
this team, Adam Is work is
show up every day, be a professional,

38
00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:29.639
do it at the highest level.
Whatever the team needs, I got

39
00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:32.280
it. That's his mentality. And
today thirty six points, four rebounds,

40
00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:37.960
tennessis two blocks on thirteen of eighteen, shooting five for five from three in

41
00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:42.719
thirty five minutes. He is the
first player in Clippers franchise history with at

42
00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:49.800
least thirty five points tennessis and two
blocks in a game that was phenomenal effort,

43
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:53.439
which is what he brings every single
night. I don't know, if

44
00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:58.800
this guy's on your side, there's
no way you can feel anything but admiration

45
00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:01.000
for what he brings to your team. And when I ask every player,

46
00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:04.879
and we've talked about this. But
when I've asked any player that played with

47
00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:07.960
him prior Robert Covington, Eric Gordon, what did they say? One of

48
00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:12.360
the best teammates I ever had.
And every player in this locker room as

49
00:03:12.360 --> 00:03:15.039
agreed to this point, and every
coach in this locker room has agreed to

50
00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:16.919
this point. He's there for everybody. He's there to pick you up.

51
00:03:17.039 --> 00:03:22.680
He's there to hype you up.
He's there to mentor Terrence Man and bones

52
00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:25.280
Thiland, He's there to bring energy, and when the team isn't starting well,

53
00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:29.479
he's there to be the vocal guy
in the huddle, something this team

54
00:03:29.479 --> 00:03:35.360
didn't have. This was well deserved, well deserved by Russell Westbrook and well

55
00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:38.400
put and Rusco and five of five
from the outside. I believe this is

56
00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:43.080
the first game of his career where
he's taken at least five three pointers and

57
00:03:43.240 --> 00:03:50.120
made all of them. Speaking of
Robert Covey did seven of seven from distance.

58
00:03:50.240 --> 00:03:53.240
Put the icing on the cake a
little bit with that last one in

59
00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:57.199
a game where there was some chirp
in between he and Dylan Brooks, who

60
00:03:57.240 --> 00:04:00.560
played very well had thirty himself.
But you know, rowe Co came out

61
00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:03.439
on the winning side. Yeah.
Look, I'm not expecting that Robert Covington,

62
00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:08.000
Russell Westbrook, and Bowen's Highland are
going to go combine sixteen of eighteen

63
00:04:08.039 --> 00:04:11.599
from three again on Wednesday on Friday. I just that's unrealistic to ask.

64
00:04:11.759 --> 00:04:15.319
But they did it tonight. And
again, let's talk about this because we

65
00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:18.680
did. We said this the other
way with the loss to New Orleans a

66
00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:23.199
couple of days ago on Saturday night. You mentioned it. You let a

67
00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:26.519
team get hot early and then everybody
else starts to get in on the action.

68
00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:29.079
So Russ hit a couple threes early. Well, then everybody else says,

69
00:04:29.079 --> 00:04:30.879
all right, he's feeling it.
Let's see if I'm feeling it.

70
00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:34.000
And guess what those two guys especially
were. I know that other guys hit

71
00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:38.120
a couple threes. Pale hit a
couple in his return. Eric Gordon hit

72
00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:43.319
a couple in in his game today, But Tlu always says he coaches on

73
00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:48.759
feel. Today the field was just
right, and Robert Covington helped deliver a

74
00:04:49.160 --> 00:04:55.279
ridiculously efficient performance himself. Twenty seven
points on ten shots, ten shots in

75
00:04:55.360 --> 00:05:00.600
thirty two minutes. That's ridiculous.
Clipper Nation's feeling good. Bold's high You

76
00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:02.680
talk with him postgame, Noah,
he goes eight to fourteen, He has

77
00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:06.720
twenty points his Clippers high believe,
and I think he had the first eight

78
00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:10.600
points of the fourth quarter when the
Grizzlies couldn't miss on the other end.

79
00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:15.240
Yeah, he was really spectacular in
this game, a pristine ball game off

80
00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:17.560
the bench for really the entire bench
unit for the Clippers. But Bones Highland

81
00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:23.639
in that fourth quarter went into full
takeover mode. He scored twelve of his

82
00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:27.560
twenty in the quarter, and he
shot the ball five for six from the

83
00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:31.879
floor and two for two from downtown
when the game reached its biggest point.

84
00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:35.759
This is what we've been talking about
when it's been in relation to Bones Highland.

85
00:05:36.519 --> 00:05:40.160
He is not afraid of the big
moment. He showed it as a

86
00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:43.959
rookie last year. It's a rookie
who necessarily wasn't expected to go out there

87
00:05:44.199 --> 00:05:46.879
as a twenty sixth overall pick and
be an impact guy like he was.

88
00:05:47.199 --> 00:05:50.560
But he was because he wasn't scared
of the moment. He knew that he

89
00:05:50.600 --> 00:05:54.399
could just go out there and be
himself and good things would happen. And

90
00:05:54.439 --> 00:05:57.399
I think today was another good example. This is a I'm not saying this

91
00:05:57.439 --> 00:05:59.800
is a must win, and we've
been talking about this how none of these

92
00:05:59.839 --> 00:06:02.720
games are technically must wins, but
they're close. They feel like playoff games

93
00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:05.319
every game for the Clippers who need
to keep their seating and stay out of

94
00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:10.120
the play in tournament. He understood
the assignments, as people like to say.

95
00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:12.439
He knew what he had to do, and he went out there and

96
00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:15.000
he executed at a high level.
Norman Powell did return in this one.

97
00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:17.800
I thought he had some key buckets
at the end of that third quarter for

98
00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:20.279
the Clippers. Yeah, just to
keep them in front at points, and

99
00:06:20.319 --> 00:06:24.680
then eventually it was to keep them
tied going into the fourth because of the

100
00:06:24.759 --> 00:06:30.199
John Morant just supernova third quarter.
Although however, like we checked, we

101
00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:32.600
said it on the broadcast, eight
turnovers for John the game. He had

102
00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:38.199
twenty in the third, two in
the fourth quarter two and it took him

103
00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:40.920
twenty eighth house to get the thirty
six points, and that includes going twelve

104
00:06:40.920 --> 00:06:43.560
of twelve at the free throw line. I thought the Clippers overall did a

105
00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:47.120
pretty good job on John Morant.
He shot one for six in that fourth

106
00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:50.399
quarter. That's how you close out
a game. So yes, his stat

107
00:06:50.399 --> 00:06:55.000
line looks great thirty six, four
rebounds, nine assists, three steals.

108
00:06:55.040 --> 00:06:59.439
But overall, I thought Norman Powell
getting those buckets late to your point in

109
00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:02.120
the third quarter and only playing twenty
four minutes, having a pretty legitimate impact

110
00:07:02.120 --> 00:07:05.879
in those twenty four minutes was crucial. And then locking in defensively, we

111
00:07:05.959 --> 00:07:09.519
said, which team's gonna defend first, that's the team that's gonna win.

112
00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:12.800
Happen to be the Clippers. Halfway
through that fourth quarter, last one for

113
00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:15.680
you, Noah, Out of all
the games so far this season, with

114
00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:20.879
just five left, this felt like
as reminiscent of a stay ready, you

115
00:07:20.920 --> 00:07:26.399
know, just fighting and back against
the wall type Clippers victory as we have

116
00:07:26.480 --> 00:07:28.959
seen all season long. And maybe
it comes at just the right time.

117
00:07:29.199 --> 00:07:31.040
Yeah. Look, I think that
it's a little different, maybe than in

118
00:07:31.079 --> 00:07:33.879
the past, because you've got a
guy in Russell Westbrook who won an NBA

119
00:07:34.040 --> 00:07:38.199
MVP, right, who's one of
the greatest seventy five players in the history

120
00:07:38.199 --> 00:07:41.600
of the game as a first ballot
Hall of Famer. Now he's not in

121
00:07:41.639 --> 00:07:44.680
his prime athletic ability anymore, but
he still has a lot of it,

122
00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:47.000
and I think he proved that tonight. But to your point you said it,

123
00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:50.439
Kawhi Leonard was ruled out very close
to game time. They didn't think

124
00:07:50.480 --> 00:07:54.040
that he wasn't gonna play today.
They didn't have a shoot around today,

125
00:07:54.160 --> 00:07:57.720
so they didn't necessarily go through lineups
or anything. They just expected Kawhi was

126
00:07:57.759 --> 00:08:01.160
gonna play. They gained planned to
have Kawhi out there, to be so

127
00:08:01.240 --> 00:08:03.319
quick on the fly. That's the
stay ready Clipper mentality. To find out

128
00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:07.879
Marcus Morris is in the health and
safety protocols, that's the Clipper mentality of

129
00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:09.560
Okay, next mayon up, Let's
go out there, let's get it done.

130
00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:15.720
And the bench, the bench in
this game, unbelievable. Sixty six

131
00:08:15.800 --> 00:08:20.160
points from this Clipper bench. They
were everything you could ask for. Mason

132
00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:24.120
Plumley, we didn't even talk about
him. He gave twenty two hard minutes,

133
00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:26.560
six points, four rebounds, three
assists, but he was three for

134
00:08:26.680 --> 00:08:30.439
three from the floor. Him and
Evitza Zubots combined seven to ten from the

135
00:08:30.480 --> 00:08:33.799
floor, combined sixteen points, eleven
rebounds, three assists between the two of

136
00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:37.120
them. It's just really efficient basketball. And that's all you can ask for

137
00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:41.360
right now from a Clipper offense.
That is humming. They put up one

138
00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:46.360
hundred and forty one points without the
two one three connection in regulation. They

139
00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:50.159
win one forty one, one thirty
two in Memphis over the Grizzlies in game

140
00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:54.519
one of this two game miniseries.
No a great call. They're gonna run

141
00:08:54.519 --> 00:08:58.039
it back on Friday, tip time
at five. We'll every pregame at four.

142
00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:00.600
We'll talk to you them. My
friend, Wait, so I should

143
00:09:00.600 --> 00:09:01.600
I just stay here at it?
What do you think? I don't know.

144
00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:05.159
You got a little bit of a
layover, Have some fun, have

145
00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:07.480
some barbecue. Yeah, yeah,
I can't wait. I can't wait.

146
00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:13.159
Noah Eagles second half highlights coming up
next. Clippers win by nine as they

147
00:09:13.200 --> 00:09:18.559
get thirty six from Russell Westbrook and
shoot twenty two of thirty seven overall from

148
00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:22.799
distance. You're listening to the Los
Angeles Clippers. Yeo, Netway, George

149
00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:26.399
and Leonard running. You're listening to
LA Clippers basketball. But up top Clipper

150
00:09:26.480 --> 00:09:31.000
puts it down plus the foul every
game all season long. On their official

151
00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:37.919
hole. Clippers win final score of
one forty one to one thirty two and

152
00:09:37.960 --> 00:09:43.879
a ludicrous victory down many men,
including the two one three connection and Paul

153
00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:48.600
George and Kawhi Leonard, who was
a late scratch for personal reasons. Oh

154
00:09:48.639 --> 00:09:52.320
what a victory. Clipper Nation coming
up on AM five seventy LA Sports.

155
00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:54.639
We'll have Clippers talk for you eight
six six ninety eight seven two five seventy

156
00:09:54.639 --> 00:09:58.759
eight six six nine eight seven two
five seventy or get to me at follow

157
00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:03.840
Adam A. But let's get to
your second half highlights. Clippers at the

158
00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:09.519
half tonight lad seventy to sixty four. But things would get tied up at

159
00:10:09.559 --> 00:10:16.039
one oh five heading into that fourth
quarter as John Moran had a twenty point

160
00:10:16.279 --> 00:10:20.720
third and even with the Clippers continuing
with their hot shooting, it was all

161
00:10:20.799 --> 00:10:24.159
knotted up heading into the fourth.
But to start things off for the Clippers

162
00:10:24.159 --> 00:10:28.720
and keep them in this one and
out in front was Bones Highland coming toon

163
00:10:28.799 --> 00:10:31.360
top of the key, hands it
off right, wind man swing it Highland

164
00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:33.879
pumps big one dribble, three balls
up. Oh we got hit in the

165
00:10:33.879 --> 00:10:37.720
head, It didn't matter. He
rattled it in. Bones Highland was sixteen

166
00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:43.200
and it's one thirteen one o nine. The utilizes comington now drives down the

167
00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:46.159
left alley, attacks to the ram, swooping delivery. Oh the jelly.

168
00:10:46.919 --> 00:10:52.840
It goes off the window. For
Highland one twenty two, one twenty he

169
00:10:52.960 --> 00:10:58.240
was like Michael Jordan the end of
Space. Jamp bones Highland with twelve points

170
00:10:58.320 --> 00:11:03.720
alone in that fourth quarter, but
the Grizzlies were not going away, however,

171
00:11:03.039 --> 00:11:07.480
neither was Roco's three point shooting.
Kyle looking to attack, had a

172
00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:11.480
strip, got it back left wing. It's Covington, another three, Covington,

173
00:11:11.559 --> 00:11:18.559
another three, Roco going loco and
the Clippers leap by four. The

174
00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:24.399
streets are calling him four Roco.
He went mad in this one, seven

175
00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:28.799
of seven from the outside. But
to close it out, Russell Westbrook left

176
00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:31.440
to right, Westbrook down the left
alley, Westbrook to the rim leys any

177
00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:35.600
in the left hand. He goes
right past Morant one twenty six, one

178
00:11:35.720 --> 00:11:37.720
twenty two. Russ with twenty nine
crossover drive. It was right, Westbrook

179
00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:41.519
gets to the rim, bakes it
in with the right hand thirty one for

180
00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:45.679
Russell Westbrook. Westbrook driving middle into
the paint to the ram inside hand finish

181
00:11:45.759 --> 00:11:50.639
goes down Russell Westbrook with thirty four
and it's one thirty one one twenty two

182
00:11:50.799 --> 00:11:54.279
La Russ had nine of his thirty
six points in this one in the fourth

183
00:11:54.360 --> 00:12:00.720
quarter thirteen of eighteen from the floor. He was five of five from distance.

184
00:12:01.159 --> 00:12:05.399
The Clippers as a team shot sixty
percent from three, and without Kauai,

185
00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:11.120
without Paul George, they find a
way to stop the hottest team currently

186
00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:15.080
in the NBA, in the Memphis
Grizzlies, who had just won seven straight,

187
00:12:15.759 --> 00:12:18.200
and they overcome thirty six from John
Moran. Clippers win one forty one

188
00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:22.600
to one thirty two in Memphis over
the Grizzlies, a team they'll see on

189

This is LA Clippers basketball. He is

a one man record, the defensive
man on the home of your LA Clippers.

196
00:12:56.919 --> 00:13:03.879
Clippers for money. From distance,
they hit twenty two three pointers in

197
00:13:03.039 --> 00:13:09.960
Memphis over the Grizzlies as Russell Westbrook
goes five of five from distance, Robert

198

Covington seven of seven, Bones Highland
four of six, and they win one

forty one to one thirty two over
the grizz who they will see on Friday.

200
00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:24.279
Hopefully Kawhi Leonard is able to go
in that one, but what a

00:14:48.159 --> 00:14:52.360
score to one forty one, as

San lou will get your phone calls
in check mockler of clips and dip fame

224
00:15:11.799 --> 00:15:16.120
Clip Nation. Best victory of the
season. Pretty much, any win the

225
00:15:16.159 --> 00:15:20.840
rest of the way will likely be
considered that because with five games remaining,

226
00:15:20.919 --> 00:15:24.919
they are also crucial. They are
also needed. Can't call it a must

227
00:15:24.960 --> 00:15:31.960
win till they become that. This
was just a very, very necessary victory,

228
00:15:33.399 --> 00:15:35.960
but also an improbable one for the
Clippers, who found out about an

229
00:15:35.960 --> 00:15:39.639
hour before the ball game Kawhi Leonard
was not going to be able to go

230
00:15:41.240 --> 00:15:45.360
for personal reasons. We're hoping for
the best with him, obviously, no

231
00:15:45.480 --> 00:15:52.440
Paul George right knee sprain, and
Russell Westbrook puts on a masterpiece of a

232
00:15:52.519 --> 00:15:56.519
performers for the Clippers. His best
game as a Clippers, without a doubt.

233
00:15:56.840 --> 00:16:03.519
Had thirty six on thirteen of eighteen
shooting and five of five from distances

234
00:16:03.559 --> 00:16:10.000
where he ended up and I believe
it's the first time in his Hall of

235
00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:17.279
Fame career where he's taken at least
five three pointers in made all of them

236
00:16:17.600 --> 00:16:22.360
unreal. He led them from the
get go. Had fifteen points on the

237
00:16:22.399 --> 00:16:26.360
first quarter when at one point the
Clippers were outscored eighteen to oh. The

238
00:16:26.440 --> 00:16:30.000
Memphis Grizzlies went on an eighteen oh
run after the Clippers were a five nothing,

239
00:16:32.120 --> 00:16:36.519
but Russ continued to fight and battle
and that's what guys love about him.

240
00:16:37.399 --> 00:16:42.080
They talk about it all the time. He's everybody's favorite teammate and he's

241
00:16:42.120 --> 00:16:48.679
becoming a fan favorite now as a
Clipper. Came over after the All Star

242
00:16:48.720 --> 00:16:53.120
break with just twenty one games remaining. Clippers now eight and eight with him,

243
00:16:53.159 --> 00:16:56.000
but there was going to be an
adjustment period. They lost some close

244
00:16:56.039 --> 00:17:00.799
ones out of the gate, losing
five straight, but now they have won

245
00:17:00.320 --> 00:17:08.039
eight of their last eleven and the
Clippers are starting to play some gritty basketball

246
00:17:08.839 --> 00:17:12.279
against a team in the Memphis Grizzlies
tonight who yes, they were down players

247
00:17:12.319 --> 00:17:17.559
too, but they still had John
Morand who gave him thirty six and they

248
00:17:17.559 --> 00:17:22.440
had still just won seven in a
row. John didn't play yesterday against Orlando.

249
00:17:22.680 --> 00:17:25.559
They won that one anyways. He
was rested. He was ready,

250
00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:29.440
had a twenty point third quarter.
It was tied heading into the fourth at

251
00:17:29.440 --> 00:17:37.759
one oh five and bones Highland Busy
Bones. He comes out hits a three

252
00:17:37.839 --> 00:17:41.720
pointer to start, then gets to
the basket another three. He had the

253
00:17:41.839 --> 00:17:47.000
first eight points for the Clippers and
generated the first ten off an assist to

254
00:17:47.079 --> 00:17:51.400
Mason Plumly for a dunk a no
look pass to make it one fifteen to

255
00:17:51.440 --> 00:18:00.200
one twelve. Memphis couldn't miss though
either I don't believe they missed a shot

256
00:18:00.200 --> 00:18:04.039
first five and a half minutes of
the fourth quarter, which tells you how

257
00:18:04.119 --> 00:18:10.039
good the Clippers had to execute on
the offense as well to keep them at

258
00:18:10.079 --> 00:18:15.200
Bay and Robert Covington. It wasn't
just Russell Westbrook who was having that out

259
00:18:15.240 --> 00:18:22.200
of body like experience from three rowco
went lowco Is Noah Eagles said seven of

260
00:18:22.319 --> 00:18:26.160
seven from distance, most threes he
has made in a ball game since,

261
00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:32.039
he said. The Clippers franchise high
with eleven last year against Milwaukee. Covington

262
00:18:32.119 --> 00:18:34.440
finished with twenty seven and thirty one
minutes, and it must have felt good

263
00:18:34.440 --> 00:18:38.119
when he hit that final three pointer
to put the ball game away, because

264
00:18:38.119 --> 00:18:41.519
there was some talking, as you
would expect with Dylan Brooks out there,

265
00:18:41.839 --> 00:18:47.279
they got into it after a jump
ball. It just fueled this Clippers team

266
00:18:47.279 --> 00:18:52.319
in Roco even more. For a
guy to have twenty six dnps this season

267
00:18:52.440 --> 00:19:00.240
and stay ready the way he has
is remarkable. He could be there secret

268
00:19:00.279 --> 00:19:03.039
weapon if he continues to get time, and I don't see how you can

269
00:19:03.079 --> 00:19:06.440
keep him out of the rotation.
I don't know what to do with bones

270
00:19:06.480 --> 00:19:11.160
Hiland now as well. When they
get back closer to hole when Kawhi Leonard

271
00:19:11.240 --> 00:19:15.319
is there. Coach lu said he
wanted to go with nine guys. Thought

272
00:19:15.319 --> 00:19:18.759
that would have meant both of them
could be out of the rotation, but

273
00:19:18.839 --> 00:19:23.559
they were so necessary bones Highland making
things happen, especially down the stretch,

274
00:19:23.599 --> 00:19:30.000
whichwelve points on the fourth quarter.
Robert Covington, his defense of eats Zubos

275
00:19:32.160 --> 00:19:37.640
Big Zoo in twenty three minutes,
just had ten and seven, but they

276
00:19:37.720 --> 00:19:41.279
got him some easy ones. But
defensively when he returns to the ball game

277
00:19:41.319 --> 00:19:45.279
in the fourth quarter, and give
coach lew All the credit, just brilliant

278
00:19:45.359 --> 00:19:52.880
coaching throughout. When the Clippers we're
tied up at five after giving up a

279
00:19:52.920 --> 00:19:56.960
five oh run after starting the game
up by five to Memphis, he called

280
00:19:56.000 --> 00:19:59.640
it time out. We'll hear from
him in a little bit. By the

281
00:19:59.640 --> 00:20:03.920
way, when they gave up an
eighteen oh running the first quarter, he's

282
00:20:03.000 --> 00:20:07.599
called a time out, and he
made some moves right then and there,

283
00:20:08.160 --> 00:20:15.240
brought in plumbly, brought in.
I want to say it was norm for

284
00:20:15.279 --> 00:20:18.240
the first time in their last twelve
games. Norman Powell was back in the

285
00:20:18.279 --> 00:20:22.720
lineup, and although he had four
turnovers and the Clippers still had some bad

286
00:20:22.720 --> 00:20:27.240
ones coming off of steals themselves.
They give it right back three times in

287
00:20:27.279 --> 00:20:30.799
the fourth quarter, but Pale hit
some big shots at the end of the

288
00:20:30.880 --> 00:20:37.960
third when the Clippers and their offense
stalled out, they went about three minutes

289
00:20:37.039 --> 00:20:42.880
scoreless near the end of the third
period. To break that shooting slump,

290
00:20:42.880 --> 00:20:48.640
it was a three from Norman Powell
and then I believe he had, yeah,

291
00:20:48.680 --> 00:20:52.839
a two point worth fifty five seconds
left as well, just a ridiculous

292
00:20:52.960 --> 00:20:57.599
left handed layup. So a guy
who hadn't played looked to be in rhythm

293
00:20:57.640 --> 00:21:03.240
still was on a rehab assignment coming
off the shoulder injury. Played twenty four

294
00:21:03.240 --> 00:21:07.599
minutes, four of nine, two
three pointers, thirteen points. Yeah,

295
00:21:07.680 --> 00:21:11.839
four turnovers, but two steals look
good over all out there. They're gonna

296
00:21:11.880 --> 00:21:18.160
need him down the stretch. They're
gonna need him in the postseason, but

297
00:21:18.200 --> 00:21:21.200
there are no guarantees. With just
five games left and the way things were

298
00:21:21.200 --> 00:21:23.119
shaking up in the Western Conference,
well, we have a moment. Let's

299
00:21:23.200 --> 00:21:29.599
pause ten seconds for station identification.

00:21:29.640 --> 00:21:34.880
five seven yarly Sports. This is
LA Clippers Basketball A five seventy KLAC Los

301
00:21:34.880 --> 00:21:41.000
Angeles, seven KSR HD two Los
Angeles and iHeart radio station. That was

302
00:21:41.039 --> 00:21:45.480
my busy bones fast rap there Bones
Highland, though no one looked faster at

303
00:21:45.480 --> 00:21:48.680
times. Okay, when John Morant
was on the court, he's still the

304
00:21:48.720 --> 00:21:55.960
fastest player. But to have a
guy with the juice and the jolt of

305
00:21:56.079 --> 00:22:02.480
Bones Highland who has come alive since
he's gotten minutes now the last four games,

306
00:22:02.519 --> 00:22:07.680
he didn't play for twenty days and
has helped them get victories in pivotal

307
00:22:07.680 --> 00:22:11.279
spots. Clippers have won three of
their last four, and he had his

308
00:22:11.319 --> 00:22:15.759
fingerprints all over those wins. In
fact, in his last four games now

309
00:22:17.880 --> 00:22:23.880
he has twenty eight assists to eight
turnovers. And I need to find and

310
00:22:25.000 --> 00:22:26.720
see that one to have beats the
Zubos in the fourth quarter again, that

311
00:22:26.960 --> 00:22:33.359
was Flashy, That was Jay will
White Chocolate, that was Jason Kidd,

312
00:22:34.319 --> 00:22:38.079
That was Steve Nass Stockton, unless
flash it was Stockton, but he could

313
00:22:38.119 --> 00:22:45.720
make some magic Johnson esque Russell Westbrook
asque. I'm so happy for us for

314
00:22:45.799 --> 00:22:49.119
him to be embraced by a fan
base after what happened across the Hall this

315
00:22:49.160 --> 00:22:53.960
season, and to find the right
fit with the team with all this shooting,

316
00:22:55.559 --> 00:22:59.720
that appreciates what he does and knows
how to accentuate his strengths in the

317
00:22:59.720 --> 00:23:03.880
way the Clippers due thirteen of eighteen, though five of five from three when

318
00:23:03.920 --> 00:23:10.440
they needed him most in a game
without Kauai an hour beforehand. They found

319
00:23:10.440 --> 00:23:15.359
that out and Russ has his best
game as a Clipper. You gotta show

320
00:23:15.440 --> 00:23:19.480
him a ton of love. Ten
assists is just two turnovers. He's been

321
00:23:19.519 --> 00:23:25.400
better in that area recently. He
was also finding guys. Just a balanced

322
00:23:25.440 --> 00:23:30.160
attack, and the Clippers end up
shooting sixty two percent from the field and

323
00:23:30.319 --> 00:23:34.680
sixty percent from three. They never
really cooled off. I was concerned because

324
00:23:34.680 --> 00:23:38.119
at the half, yeah, they
had the lead by I want to say

325
00:23:38.160 --> 00:23:45.240
six, but the shooting was so
out of the ordinary, an outlier,

326
00:23:47.279 --> 00:23:49.400
that I was worried that if it
started to regress with how many more shots

327
00:23:49.400 --> 00:23:53.079
Memphis got up due to fourteen offensive
rebounds totals, so the Clippers having just

328
00:23:53.160 --> 00:23:59.319
three, and they would end up
taking seventeen more shots, that if the

329
00:23:59.359 --> 00:24:03.559
Clippers cooled off at all, they
were in trouble. They never did offense,

330
00:24:03.640 --> 00:24:08.400
just kept humming. Usually there's always
that regression to the mean. You

331
00:24:08.480 --> 00:24:12.119
fear it when you're on a hot
streak. You welcome it when you progressed

332
00:24:12.119 --> 00:24:18.400
in the mean when you're cold.
The Clippers just consistently we're red hot twenty

333
00:24:18.480 --> 00:24:22.480
nine the first, forty one points
in the second, thirty five and the

334
00:24:22.559 --> 00:24:26.920
third and thirty six points in the
fourth. Without Kaha and Paul George,

335
00:24:26.960 --> 00:24:30.720
they put up one hundred and forty
one on a team with a top five

336
00:24:30.799 --> 00:24:33.720
defense. I believe on the season
in Memphis, I know they were down

337
00:24:33.759 --> 00:24:38.480
some guys, but they had their
main guy. Clippers were missing their main

338
00:24:38.559 --> 00:24:44.880
two guys, and they had Bones
Highland at twenty two years of age,

339
00:24:45.480 --> 00:24:49.359
just competing on both ends too.
He had another steal. I'm telling you,

340
00:24:49.480 --> 00:24:52.640
I don't know how you keep this
guy off the floor if he's not

341
00:24:52.680 --> 00:24:56.279
turned the ball over and he's given
that level of effort defensively, I don't

342
00:24:56.279 --> 00:24:59.400
know how you do it. Coach, who's got the toughest job in sports.

343
00:24:59.480 --> 00:25:03.920
Maybe you have so much talent you
gotta push the right buttons at the

344
00:25:03.000 --> 00:25:07.000
right time, But he's the right
guy for it. I loved the way

345
00:25:07.039 --> 00:25:11.920
he managed this game, time ounce
wise, rotations wise. It was a

346
00:25:11.960 --> 00:25:18.000
flawless performance from him and damn near
from the Clippers shooting wise. Terrence Man

347
00:25:18.039 --> 00:25:19.960
also had a steal and a throw
down in the fourth. He was great,

348
00:25:21.000 --> 00:25:26.000
a plus eighteen that led everybody out
there. I had eleven points,

349
00:25:26.039 --> 00:25:29.839
three of six shooting, one of
three from the outside, three assists,

350
00:25:29.880 --> 00:25:34.119
zero turnovers. Nicholas but Tum cooled
off after coming into this one. He

351
00:25:34.160 --> 00:25:37.000
was sixteen of his last twenty two
from three, just one of five from

352
00:25:37.000 --> 00:25:40.960
three. But he was one of
the guys I believe they took out early

353
00:25:41.000 --> 00:25:45.359
in the first when it just wasn't
working, when it didn't look right.

354
00:25:45.920 --> 00:25:52.119
It was him in Big Zoo out, Mason Plumley and Norman Powell in and

355
00:25:52.160 --> 00:25:55.759
the Clippers after being down. I
believe it was thirteen in the first,

356
00:25:55.839 --> 00:26:00.200
had it to within one after the
first twelve minutes. Give it up to

357
00:26:00.200 --> 00:26:04.599
coach Lou made the right moon,
which there's five games left. Clippers got

358
00:26:04.599 --> 00:26:10.079
to continue to make them and they
take on Memphis and run it back on

359
00:26:10.160 --> 00:26:14.039
Friday. I guess the team that's
gonna be hot and motivated. Luke Nard

360
00:26:14.160 --> 00:26:18.240
was only one of three from the
outside. You always worried about him burning

361
00:26:18.319 --> 00:26:22.119
you coming back to haunt you.
He had been on a hot streak from

362
00:26:22.160 --> 00:26:26.960
the outside, shooting fifty five percent
from three his last ten games. His

363
00:26:27.079 --> 00:26:30.079
three point percentage on the season now
I think it's up to forty eight percent,

364
00:26:30.960 --> 00:26:34.640
So I want to say is leading
the league. Eric Gordon, though

365
00:26:36.039 --> 00:26:42.000
he hit two big three pointers,
he's been steady and coming into this one,

366
00:26:42.039 --> 00:26:45.119
he's been shooting forty five percent since
he came back over to the Clippers

367
00:26:45.119 --> 00:26:52.400
from distance been the starting lineup had
fourteen. This was best win of the

368
00:26:52.440 --> 00:26:59.160
season and one of the more resilient
wins we've seen all year. It almost

369
00:26:59.200 --> 00:27:03.000
looked like the Clipper reclaim their identity
being that bunch, the stay ready group,

370
00:27:03.160 --> 00:27:07.079
next man up mentality. Yeah,
there's a lot of sports cliches in

371
00:27:07.119 --> 00:27:08.480
there, Ben Mallor, I get
it, but a lot of them ring

372
00:27:08.640 --> 00:27:14.400
true with this Clippers team. Now
night lights to night where Russell Westbrook turns

373
00:27:14.440 --> 00:27:22.599
back the clock and re enters his
prime with controlling the ball game on both

374
00:27:22.720 --> 00:27:25.039
ends. And by the way,
he was my player to watch. I'm

375
00:27:25.119 --> 00:27:27.400
not going to pet myself on the
back too much, but thirteen of eighteen

376
00:27:27.480 --> 00:27:32.680
from the field and five of five
from distance, with thirty six one of

377
00:27:32.720 --> 00:27:37.519
them this game. Javier and Lahabre
heights start things off tonight. Tire on

378
00:27:37.559 --> 00:27:45.440
clipper Stock. What's up, Adam
great win U Tylou equals him up today?

379
00:27:45.720 --> 00:27:48.599
I mean he was a very pride
feel like you said, we're in

380
00:27:48.599 --> 00:27:53.440
the beginning. He put in plumby
and power and that's what he's out of.

381
00:27:53.519 --> 00:27:57.720
Coach, you know, it's it's
it's you know, it's not working

382
00:27:57.759 --> 00:28:02.240
today. You got to change it
out. The sense of urgency was palpable

383
00:28:02.640 --> 00:28:04.519
to your point, Javier, you
could just tell if something was different.

384
00:28:04.559 --> 00:28:07.440
I mean, a five oh run
is nothing in the NBA. And as

385
00:28:07.480 --> 00:28:12.240
soon as he saw he called him
time out early. It's actually he didn't

386
00:28:12.279 --> 00:28:15.440
see something. He didn't like people, and I gotta change it up.

387
00:28:15.000 --> 00:28:22.480
But yeah, now with Covington playing
the way he played and bones, I

388
00:28:22.559 --> 00:28:26.559
mean at this point, I mean, when Nicole to the playoffs, he's

389
00:28:26.599 --> 00:28:32.359
gotta go. I'm thinking ten deep, right in deep, because we're talking

390
00:28:32.519 --> 00:28:38.000
unprecedented stuff. If he's really going
ten deep in today's age, yeah,

391
00:28:38.039 --> 00:28:42.000
I mean it's it's I mean,
he's gonna have to. I mean,

392
00:28:42.079 --> 00:28:45.480
this is of course, including Paul
Georgian. Wayne does come back I mean,

393
00:28:45.680 --> 00:28:48.720
this is a I mean, like
I said earlier, it's a great

394
00:28:48.799 --> 00:28:52.599
great uh great uh victory, and
uh you gotta keep you gotta you know,

395
00:28:52.599 --> 00:28:56.400
you gotta keep going another thing too
real quick. I know I've been

396
00:28:56.480 --> 00:29:02.920
harping on Marcus Morris a year.
I mean, do you think, I

397
00:29:02.960 --> 00:29:07.000
mean, after everything that's going on, he thinks it ill be gonna plane

398
00:29:07.039 --> 00:29:08.759
again. But what do you think
about that? Though? That's it.

399
00:29:08.799 --> 00:29:12.799
I'm just just wondering because the weather
plane now they're playing really well with all

400
00:29:12.839 --> 00:29:15.599
Marcus Moore, So that's it.
That's it, Thank g Adam. We'll

401
00:29:15.640 --> 00:29:19.400
see Javier. They might just ride
the hot hands. Of course, Marcus

402
00:29:19.400 --> 00:29:25.000
Morris currently in health and safety protocols. We're hoping for a speedy recovery for

403
00:29:25.160 --> 00:29:29.119
him. But Nicholas Batum now being
in the starting lineup that was made official

404
00:29:29.160 --> 00:29:36.000
post game the other night, and
with Robert Covington who has shot over fifty

405
00:29:36.000 --> 00:29:41.160
percent from three his last fourteen games
now after going seven of seven from three

406
00:29:41.240 --> 00:29:44.960
tonight, how do you keep me
out of the rotation? How do you

407
00:29:45.079 --> 00:29:48.039
keep a guy with hands that quick? I know he's not the great as

408
00:29:48.079 --> 00:29:52.200
one on one defender. Great health
defender, though he was a plus eleven

409
00:29:52.240 --> 00:30:00.240
twenty seven points off ten shots.
Just stupid. It's it's a wild box

410
00:30:00.240 --> 00:30:04.759
scor to look at it. Just
it raised an eyebrow for all the right

411
00:30:04.839 --> 00:30:11.000
reasons. But the Clippers hot shooting
continued and it was a win. You

412
00:30:11.000 --> 00:30:14.759
could be proud of Clipper Nation for
them to do this without Kauai, without

413
00:30:14.799 --> 00:30:19.039
Paul George, against what was the
hottest team in the NBA. Memphis Grizzlies

414
00:30:19.079 --> 00:30:25.319
are one seventh straight, and they
had John Morant back. He had thirty

415
00:30:25.359 --> 00:30:29.559
six twenty of those in the third
quarter, and the Clippers were able to

416
00:30:29.599 --> 00:30:33.039
hold back the floodgates enough and match
them every time they hit shots. The

417
00:30:33.799 --> 00:30:40.039
high degree of difficulty and crazy shot
making that in that fourth quarter was unreal,

418
00:30:41.039 --> 00:30:44.319
and his starred with balls highland of
the Clippers having their first eight points

419
00:30:45.079 --> 00:30:49.759
and then getting Mason Plumbly a dunk
off an amazing assist, but Memphis pushed

420
00:30:49.759 --> 00:30:55.519
them. They weren't missing either.
The Clippers took the challenge. They punched

421
00:30:55.599 --> 00:30:59.640
right back every time, and Russ
came back into the ball game and picked

422
00:30:59.720 --> 00:31:02.920
up where he left off was getting
to the baskets, sweeping layups, had

423
00:31:03.000 --> 00:31:07.000
nine of his thirty six in the
fourth. Just a great, great win

424
00:31:07.079 --> 00:31:11.119
with five remaining in the regular season. Coming up next, you'll hear from

425
00:31:11.119 --> 00:31:15.839
the head coach in Russell Westbrook post
game. Clippers win one forty one to

426
00:31:15.960 --> 00:31:18.559
one thirty two over the Grizzlies in
Memphis. Back to your phone calls as

427
00:31:18.559 --> 00:31:22.559
well. Eight six six, ninety
seven two five seventy eight six six nine

428
00:31:22.599 --> 00:31:26.880
eight seven two five seventy we'll Updike
from clips on tip will be here.

429
00:31:26.480 --> 00:31:30.279
You're listening to Clippers stock on M
five seventy elis fours, George and Leonard

430
00:31:30.319 --> 00:31:34.920
running. You're listening to La Clippers
basketball. But up top Clipper puts it

431
00:31:34.960 --> 00:31:41.599
down plus the foul every game all
season long on their official homes. Busts

432
00:31:41.640 --> 00:31:45.240
all eyes on Russell Westbrook, who
has thirty six points his Clippers high ten

433
00:31:45.319 --> 00:31:51.039
assist and goes five of five from
the outside. Clippers win one forty one

434
00:31:51.680 --> 00:31:56.880
to one thirty two over the Memphis
Grizzlies in a game where they shoot sixty

435
00:31:56.920 --> 00:32:01.160
percent from three. And I'm doing
some calculations right now, but the last

436
00:32:01.240 --> 00:32:07.920
four games from the outside have been
absurdly hot shooting games from the Clippers.

437
00:32:07.920 --> 00:32:12.680
They lost one of them. But
I'm tallying that up right now, Jose

438
00:32:13.920 --> 00:32:17.720
in Downey, what's up here on
Clipper stock? What's up had him?

439
00:32:17.720 --> 00:32:23.359
How you doing? Man enjoined this
Clipper win. I gotta say he wasn't

440
00:32:23.359 --> 00:32:30.200
too sure what to expect when I
saw that Kauai was out. But Russ

441
00:32:30.359 --> 00:32:37.720
really really showed up and the team
just rallied behind him. They follow the

442
00:32:37.880 --> 00:32:45.960
leader, Yes, follow the leader. And he's he's a great vocal leader,

443
00:32:45.160 --> 00:32:50.640
no matter no matter what has gone
on. Yeah, no doubt,

444
00:32:50.720 --> 00:32:53.759
Jose. Look, the guys love
him in the locker room. They campaigned

445
00:32:53.799 --> 00:33:00.519
for him. They wanted him with
the Clippers badly. They got him.

446
00:33:00.559 --> 00:33:04.640
You got to make good on it
now. Russ more than did so tonight,

447
00:33:05.440 --> 00:33:07.440
and overall has definitely been a positive
for this Clippers team. There have

448
00:33:07.559 --> 00:33:14.519
been some ups and downs, but
tonight Russ all the way up in his

449
00:33:14.599 --> 00:33:19.400
best performance in the toughest spot so
far. With the Clippers down both Kawai

450
00:33:19.519 --> 00:33:24.240
and Paul George. They had not
won a game without Kawhi Leonard since December

451
00:33:24.640 --> 00:33:34.200
twenty six. I want to say
they were three for their last fourteen when

452
00:33:34.240 --> 00:33:39.279
it came to winning ball games without
Kauai. It's tough to overcome not having

453
00:33:39.359 --> 00:33:45.599
your superstars in this league when you're
taking on one in John Morant, but

454
00:33:45.920 --> 00:33:50.640
Russell Westbrook remembered, hey, I
still got it. He ain't done yet.

455
00:33:51.400 --> 00:33:53.039
Lawrence Frank said it when they brought
him in. Even at thirty four,

456
00:33:54.039 --> 00:33:58.720
you can make the argument he's the
most athletic player, most athletic player

457
00:33:58.720 --> 00:34:02.680
on this Clippers team. And some
of those plays had a big throw down

458
00:34:02.759 --> 00:34:07.000
the first half. It was either
three or he got to the basket for

459
00:34:07.039 --> 00:34:10.440
a tough layup. Just proud to
see the Clippers fight back each and every

460
00:34:10.440 --> 00:34:17.280
time. Because the Grizzlies pushed them
in eighteen old run in the first quarter

461
00:34:19.559 --> 00:34:22.719
and the Clippers found a way to
still just be down by one. That's

462
00:34:22.719 --> 00:34:27.840
incredible. A lot of heart from
this Clippers team. Tonight, Sean and

463
00:34:28.039 --> 00:34:34.320
Inglewood, what's up, heymen?
How are you man? I'm good,

464
00:34:34.400 --> 00:34:38.440
Sean, how are you feeling?
I'll feel I'm pretty good about tonight's victory.

465
00:34:38.960 --> 00:34:42.960
And I want to tell you what
the difference is. You always did

466
00:34:44.320 --> 00:34:50.880
okay because instead of just playing playing
small and slow, they played small and

467
00:34:51.000 --> 00:34:54.880
fast. Okay, So any three
of those Clipper guards can play at the

468
00:34:54.920 --> 00:35:00.360
same time on the floor, and
you get speed and everybody, all those

469
00:35:00.400 --> 00:35:04.920
guys, each one of those guards
are thinking in our mind, I can

470
00:35:05.039 --> 00:35:07.960
take my gal to dribble, I
can do what I want, and I

471
00:35:08.000 --> 00:35:14.280
can take him out and I have
space to hit my jumper anytime. And

472
00:35:14.320 --> 00:35:19.320
so basically you got that, you
got a very few turnovers, and you

473
00:35:19.440 --> 00:35:22.519
got a score of one hundred and
forty one point. And remember I kept

474
00:35:22.519 --> 00:35:27.280
saying, I want to see Russell
Westboot just take it to the hole that

475
00:35:27.360 --> 00:35:31.360
they had a little bit on a
leash, and then without Paul and without

476
00:35:31.480 --> 00:35:36.760
Kawai, he kept taking it to
the hole. So they can't just stand

477
00:35:36.800 --> 00:35:40.960
around and let Paul and Kauwai just
pounding the ball onto the floor. This

478
00:35:42.000 --> 00:35:46.880
team has to move. You don't
really have besides Zoo and Plumbly, you

479
00:35:46.920 --> 00:35:53.920
don't really have that much as far
as big except for Diffrenchiman. So from

480
00:35:53.960 --> 00:36:00.719
there we just have to just move
faster and allow me this analogy. Dallas

481
00:36:00.800 --> 00:36:05.440
has been losing when they first got
Kyrie. They won their first two games,

482
00:36:05.760 --> 00:36:08.440
even beat the Clippers, scoring one
hundred and thirty one hundred and forty

483
00:36:08.440 --> 00:36:13.920
point. When Luca comes in,
Luca plays slow. He slows them down.

484
00:36:14.320 --> 00:36:17.599
They cannot play slow. That's why
Dallas is losing, even though he

485
00:36:17.719 --> 00:36:22.320
has the talent. Let me tell
you something, Sean, they cannot play

486
00:36:22.360 --> 00:36:27.320
defense. That's why they're losing.
That's still too Sean. They're still scoring.

487
00:36:27.360 --> 00:36:31.039
They're still scoring, Sean. Right, And speaking of D the Clippers

488
00:36:31.119 --> 00:36:35.920
really turned on that D in the
fourth quarter. All those turn over,

489
00:36:36.039 --> 00:36:39.800
the fourth turnover was that they did. But again, you have athletic fast

490
00:36:39.960 --> 00:36:44.639
people can take their guys off the
dribble and I don't care about if you

491
00:36:44.679 --> 00:36:49.199
have to go eleven D. Each
guy brings something special when they come on

492
00:36:49.239 --> 00:36:52.039
the floor, and they can win. They can beat anybody like this,

493
00:36:52.320 --> 00:36:55.239
Sean, you know who I thought
was the difference in the fourth quarter,

494
00:36:55.519 --> 00:37:00.440
And I know you're gonna like this. It was one of eVisa Zoo came

495
00:37:00.440 --> 00:37:04.400
back into the ball game when they
went back to playing big. His drop

496
00:37:04.519 --> 00:37:07.000
coverage on John Morant, who only
had two of his thirty six and the

497
00:37:07.000 --> 00:37:13.719
fourth after having twenty in the third
was impeccable. And who got a couple

498
00:37:13.760 --> 00:37:16.800
of blocks in there too. That
Yeah, I saw it. Yeah,

499
00:37:16.840 --> 00:37:22.039
I mean, the D was there
Cuvington d was ridiculous. He had a

500
00:37:22.119 --> 00:37:28.800
steal on John Moran at the four
minute mark of the fourth. This team

501
00:37:28.880 --> 00:37:32.599
was swarming defensively in a game with
and don't get me wrong, Memphis,

502
00:37:32.840 --> 00:37:37.320
I want to say, hit their
first seven or eight shots in the fourth

503
00:37:37.679 --> 00:37:39.360
and a lot of them were well
defended, and it did not matter at

504
00:37:39.440 --> 00:37:45.199
all. But the Clippers were able
to eventually shut the faucet off in the

505
00:37:45.239 --> 00:37:51.239
last four minutes. And remember when
I told you Covington over Canard, Remember

506
00:37:51.280 --> 00:37:57.280
that Philly game whenever it just burning
Canard on defense. And I shoot as

507
00:37:57.360 --> 00:38:01.519
well as Canard plus played defense,
and he proved it, Like I don't.

508
00:38:02.000 --> 00:38:05.960
I don't think he can shoot as
well as Kennard? Could he tonight?

509
00:38:06.199 --> 00:38:10.880
Yes he did? Okay, that's
your but I think he's no,

510
00:38:10.800 --> 00:38:14.639
no, no, what do you
mean? That's my opinion. How is

511
00:38:14.679 --> 00:38:17.039
he better shooting? Has he been
in three point contest? Has as he

512
00:38:17.119 --> 00:38:22.280
shot almost fifty percent from three in
a season? Can can get his own

513
00:38:22.320 --> 00:38:29.400
shot? I've seen him get his
own shots. That's not true. Robert

514
00:38:29.400 --> 00:38:32.000
Covington isn't exactly always creating for himself
either. He's a spot up shooter,

515
00:38:32.400 --> 00:38:37.320
but look, I agree the defense. They're two different players. I don't

516
00:38:37.320 --> 00:38:39.800
even know why you compare them.
But Robert Covington is just somebody that the

517
00:38:39.800 --> 00:38:43.840
Clippers. You know, I've gotten
calls all season long, Sean, of

518
00:38:44.280 --> 00:38:46.599
how is Roco not playing? And
I haven't had a good answer for that

519
00:38:47.559 --> 00:38:52.039
night. It's like tonight, it's
how do you how do you keep him

520
00:38:52.039 --> 00:38:54.000
out? How do you keep him
out? How do you keep bones Highlanding

521
00:38:54.000 --> 00:38:58.239
out of the rotation? They got
a five minutes for a lot of guys.

522
00:38:59.440 --> 00:39:01.760
I agree, but it's a good
thing to have, and I look

523
00:39:01.840 --> 00:39:07.719
forward to seeing them play those three
guards in the lineup at the same time

524
00:39:07.840 --> 00:39:10.760
sometimes just to change up the pace
and have build a team on their hills.

525
00:39:12.199 --> 00:39:14.960
And thank you for the call,
Adam, appreciate you so much.

526
00:39:15.000 --> 00:39:17.000
You to best, all right,
Sean, appreciate you. The difference is

527
00:39:17.039 --> 00:39:20.920
now, as opposed to earlier in
the season, when the Clippers are running

528
00:39:20.920 --> 00:39:23.760
three guards, they would have guys
out there that just weren't great defenders,

529
00:39:24.639 --> 00:39:29.239
with John Wall, Reggie Jackson,
Luke Kennard. Now where they're running three

530
00:39:29.280 --> 00:39:32.400
guards out there, and if you're
counting one of them as Terrence Man and

531
00:39:32.400 --> 00:39:37.480
then you've got someone like Eric Gordon
and Russell Westbrook. They're bigger now.

532
00:39:37.519 --> 00:39:39.519
Bones Highland is certainly not known for
his defense, but I'm telling you,

533
00:39:39.559 --> 00:39:45.639
over the last four games, he
has given an exceptional effort on the defensive

534
00:39:45.719 --> 00:39:50.320
end. He's gotten steals, he's
gotten blocks, he has fought, he

535
00:39:50.360 --> 00:39:55.159
has competed. If he does that
and doesn't turn the ball over. The

536
00:39:55.239 --> 00:40:00.559
heist that the Clippers made on the
Denver Nuggets, getting Bones for two second

537
00:40:00.679 --> 00:40:04.400
round picks is going to be talked
about for years to come. I'm not

538
00:40:04.440 --> 00:40:07.440
saying it's a herschel Walker situation or
anything like that, but Bones Highland,

539
00:40:07.440 --> 00:40:12.880
it's twenty two years of age to
get him for two second round picks.

540
00:40:13.280 --> 00:40:16.519
With his passing ability and his scoring
and the way he sees the floor and

541
00:40:16.559 --> 00:40:20.000
the way he puts him up from
distance, he was four or six from

542
00:40:20.039 --> 00:40:24.119
three and I got the number for
you thanks to Sean and Inglewood. Or

543
00:40:24.159 --> 00:40:29.800
give me a little time to make
this calculation about the Apokus. The Clippers

544
00:40:29.840 --> 00:40:35.000
in their last four games have hit
seventy five of their one hundred and forty

545
00:40:35.039 --> 00:40:38.800
seven attempts from three. That means
they've been shooting fifty one percent from the

546
00:40:38.840 --> 00:40:45.199
outside over their last four games.
That's hot shooting, but it's created through

547
00:40:45.239 --> 00:40:51.679
guys attacking and getting into the paint. Good process leads to good results.

548
00:40:52.440 --> 00:40:54.519
If you go off your philosophy of
two feet in the paint, touching the

549
00:40:54.519 --> 00:40:57.960
paint, spraying it back out,
kicking it back out, well, you're

550
00:40:58.000 --> 00:41:00.159
drawing multiple defenders. You're getting the
defense in rotation, and you can find

551
00:41:00.199 --> 00:41:05.199
the open man for an open look, and that increases your chances of knocking

552
00:41:05.239 --> 00:41:08.519
them down. It's not happenstance.
It's not just something flukey. They have

553
00:41:08.679 --> 00:41:14.800
the shooters that can do it when
they play Clippers basketball and first get downhill.

554
00:41:15.519 --> 00:41:19.679
Clippers win one forty one to one
thirty two over the Memphis Grizzlies.

555
00:41:20.039 --> 00:41:22.719
Quick time out. We'll get back
to your phone calls eight six sixty nine

556
00:41:22.800 --> 00:41:28.719
eight seven two five seventy eight six
six nine eight seven two five seventy.

557
00:41:29.159 --> 00:41:31.840
We'll have Chuck Mockler on from Clips
and Dip next. Plus you'll hear from

558
00:41:31.880 --> 00:41:38.920
Coach Low paying the price. Clippers
win in Memphis one forty one to one

559
00:41:39.039 --> 00:41:44.880
thirty two. Run it right back
on Friday, hopefully with Kawhi Leonard.

560
00:41:44.960 --> 00:41:49.639
This is Clippers Stuck here on a
five seventy l a sports who is blocked

561
00:41:49.679 --> 00:41:53.840
by George. This is LA Clippers
basketball. He is a one man king,

562
00:41:53.920 --> 00:42:01.960
crawl and defensive man on the home
of your LA Clippers. Last times

563
00:42:02.039 --> 00:42:06.360
five chains on my neck. It
was no smile on my bread. Last

564
00:42:06.400 --> 00:42:09.559
Clippers winning Memphis one forty one to
one thirty two over Job Moran and the

565
00:42:09.599 --> 00:42:15.760
Memphis Grizzlies without Kawai, without Paul. George doesn't matter. Didn't mean to

566
00:42:15.800 --> 00:42:22.599
go all Rocks. There was the
Rocks are Dwayne, We're close. I

567
00:42:22.599 --> 00:42:28.079
feel bad when it's Donk died too. Uh. Clippers win by nine in

568
00:42:28.239 --> 00:42:30.760
Memphis. Welcome back in This is
Clippers stock. I'm out of Oslin.

569
00:42:31.159 --> 00:42:35.840
Eight six six ninety eight seven two
five seventy eight six six nine eight seven

570
00:42:35.920 --> 00:42:37.920
two five seventy is the phone number
coming up. Back to your phone calls.

571
00:42:37.920 --> 00:42:44.079
Plus you'll hear from Coach Low and
Russell Westbrook, who put on a

572
00:42:44.239 --> 00:42:50.199
virtuoso like performance. Thirty six points
is Clippers high. Tennessis just two turnovers

573
00:42:50.239 --> 00:42:55.280
and goes five of five from the
outside. Oh we got Chuck Macklern chuck

574
00:42:55.360 --> 00:43:00.880
from clips and dip Pod does it
with myself and Will up Deck, Chuck

575
00:43:01.519 --> 00:43:08.119
Russ, Hayters and Shambleson. I'd
including that guy who got ejected. Yeah,

576
00:43:08.239 --> 00:43:13.719
one of the two fan ejections that
Westbrook has been involved with this year.

577
00:43:14.559 --> 00:43:17.280
No, this was, I mean
it literally was. This has to

578
00:43:17.320 --> 00:43:22.519
be one of Russ's most efficient games
of all time. Five or five from

579
00:43:22.559 --> 00:43:27.960
three is absolutely fantastic. But the
thing that I'm most excited about is what

580
00:43:28.039 --> 00:43:31.559
you've said he had the tennisis he
had two turnovers. The decision making for

581
00:43:31.599 --> 00:43:37.199
the most part was great. He
was active on defense, He did his

582
00:43:37.320 --> 00:43:39.920
part like this was. I mean, you know, no PG, no,

583
00:43:40.039 --> 00:43:44.199
Kauai. Everyone expects him to step
up. He exceeds those expectations.

584
00:43:44.280 --> 00:43:50.880
And Robert Covington, shockingly, we're
seventy plus games in, we've learned that

585
00:43:50.920 --> 00:43:54.159
he's very good at basketball, which
is great to see. He came just

586
00:43:54.280 --> 00:44:00.480
lights out yet again, So I
mean, this is Russ's game ball.

587
00:44:00.519 --> 00:44:04.400
Absolutely, he deserves that. He
did great, And you know, we

588
00:44:04.440 --> 00:44:07.360
get a little bit of wrestlingfore that
back to back where who knows what the

589
00:44:07.360 --> 00:44:09.840
availability of quiet going to be?
Yeah, you mentioned it there. Roco

590
00:44:09.920 --> 00:44:15.360
though, seven of seven from three
and in your face Dylan Brooks, who

591
00:44:15.480 --> 00:44:20.159
had thirty still, but those two
got into at first. It was Brooks

592
00:44:20.159 --> 00:44:23.559
and Russell Westbrook in the first half
sharing some words. I like him,

593
00:44:23.559 --> 00:44:27.480
actually, I like Dylan Brooks.
I like the edge that he plays with.

594
00:44:28.039 --> 00:44:30.960
I think it may have helped the
Clippers and have helped a lot of

595
00:44:30.000 --> 00:44:35.079
teams in the Western Conference. When
you do a lot of talking, you

596
00:44:35.079 --> 00:44:38.320
can up the intensity level from the
opponent at times two. Not that Russ

597
00:44:38.320 --> 00:44:40.800
needs a lot of that. He
always plays with a chip on his shoulder,

598
00:44:40.880 --> 00:44:45.599
of course. But Rocco was talking
after that jump ball, and then

599
00:44:45.719 --> 00:44:50.519
let his game do the talking with
that final three pointer he hit as the

600
00:44:50.559 --> 00:44:53.800
game was winding down. But yeah, how do you keep Robert Covington out

601
00:44:53.800 --> 00:45:00.159
of the rotation anymore? He's too
damn good. Yeah, he's been too

602
00:45:00.199 --> 00:45:04.199
good and he now is currently too
good to be out of the rotation,

603
00:45:04.320 --> 00:45:06.679
which which is awesome. He talks
about it, poke, and we said

604
00:45:06.679 --> 00:45:08.559
it made it kind of fun talking
with those fans. They said that,

605
00:45:08.920 --> 00:45:10.880
you know, we had eleven points
and they bet him, you know,

606
00:45:12.000 --> 00:45:14.480
Robert, they said, we bet
you won't score more, and Rocco said,

607
00:45:14.519 --> 00:45:15.880
put five hundred thousand on it,
and the guy said sure. So

608
00:45:15.960 --> 00:45:19.880
every time he made a point after
that, he just looked at him,

609
00:45:19.880 --> 00:45:22.760
and that was about sixteen points more
after that, that guy owes him like

610
00:45:22.800 --> 00:45:28.280
a California lottery amount of money.
Yeah, that guy owes him a lot

611
00:45:28.320 --> 00:45:30.119
of money. So yeah, I
know, a huge shout out to Robert

612
00:45:30.119 --> 00:45:32.960
Covington. And then you know,
look you look at rest of the three

613
00:45:34.000 --> 00:45:37.679
point numbers, Rocos three point numbers, Bones goes four or six. Those

614
00:45:37.719 --> 00:45:43.920
guys made up what was a sixteen
of the twenty two threes we made,

615
00:45:43.960 --> 00:45:46.960
so we needed every single one of
these threes. It wasn't a blowout game

616
00:45:47.000 --> 00:45:51.840
by any means. It was single
digits. Those guys being efficient from Peace

617
00:45:51.880 --> 00:45:54.639
saved us. Robert Covington, I
was in Terrence may On the second best

618
00:45:54.639 --> 00:46:00.199
plus minus on the team thirty two
minutes. It was great. I got

619
00:46:00.239 --> 00:46:02.719
to see twenty four minutes and Norman
Powell, I it's tough because you love

620
00:46:02.760 --> 00:46:08.360
this minute distribution from the Clippers,
but you know we're still missing probably you

621
00:46:08.360 --> 00:46:12.119
know, a combined you know from
PG hear from Kawai. Excuse me,

622
00:46:12.159 --> 00:46:15.559
we're missing probably aout thirty six minutes
so when we're at full strength's gonna be

623
00:46:15.559 --> 00:46:19.039
interesting to see how Tylo handles this. I thought Tyler was great tonight with

624
00:46:19.079 --> 00:46:22.320
their rotations, but Toomb didn't necessarily
have it. He played the fewest minutes

625
00:46:22.360 --> 00:46:25.719
of anyone on the team, still
nineteen. He was still you know,

626
00:46:25.760 --> 00:46:30.360
good defensively and things like that,
but offensively it wasn't there. Tyler made

627
00:46:30.360 --> 00:46:32.239
the right calls and kept the right
guys in when he needed to. Yeah,

628
00:46:32.320 --> 00:46:37.559
quick to pool guys when it wasn't
working, and it was quick to

629
00:46:37.639 --> 00:46:44.000
inject you know a lot of that
youth and explosiveness in Bones Highland being out

630
00:46:44.039 --> 00:46:47.679
there with Russ and Terrence Man.
When those three guys, when two of

631
00:46:47.719 --> 00:46:51.400
those three are in the ball game, when any of them are in the

632
00:46:51.400 --> 00:46:54.039
ball game, it just looks like
a completely different Clippers team. But Bones

633
00:46:54.079 --> 00:46:58.480
Highland, you brought him up in
the start of that fourth quarter. They

634
00:46:58.599 --> 00:47:01.239
lose this game without the way he
came out and put it upon himself like,

635
00:47:01.320 --> 00:47:04.760
Okay, I'm gonna come out here
in ball I'm gonna score. He

636
00:47:04.800 --> 00:47:07.280
had the first eight points of the
fourth for them. He had twelve of

637
00:47:07.320 --> 00:47:12.960
his twenty in the fourth quarter,
had an insane pass to Mason Plumley for

638
00:47:13.000 --> 00:47:17.840
a dunk. What he did it
wasn't just you know, style over substance.

639
00:47:19.360 --> 00:47:23.719
It was a much needed burst in
crutal and crucial clutch time minutes.

640
00:47:25.199 --> 00:47:29.599
I mean he did everything twenty points
five board, six assists, a steel

641
00:47:29.679 --> 00:47:34.320
and a block, only one turnover. This Bone we talked about on clip

642
00:47:34.840 --> 00:47:38.000
clips and dip, but Bones and
Rusts are probably last guys who you know,

643
00:47:38.159 --> 00:47:44.000
need more confidence. But as Bones
gets this confidence, he's starting to

644
00:47:44.000 --> 00:47:46.360
play better. We don't really know
what his playoff picks is gonna look like.

645
00:47:46.480 --> 00:47:51.800
I don't think that there's room for
him and the regular playoff rotation.

646
00:47:51.920 --> 00:47:55.760
When Kawai comes back, we'll see. I mean, maybe he pushes the

647
00:47:55.800 --> 00:47:59.599
norm out a little bit if he
keeps playing on this street. But Bones

648
00:47:59.639 --> 00:48:01.719
has been right. I hope the
Clippers can keep him and develop him a

649
00:48:01.719 --> 00:48:06.159
bit because him and Terraces are just
fantastic to watch play together. Their energy

650
00:48:06.800 --> 00:48:08.320
blends off each other, well,
they kind of fill in gaps for each

651
00:48:08.320 --> 00:48:12.400
other. But Bones looks happy to
be playing basketball again. After I get

652
00:48:12.440 --> 00:48:17.239
any chances in Denver, the Clippers
look athletic. Dare I say it?

653
00:48:17.559 --> 00:48:22.840
When those two are out there for
an older team. It's just strange to

654
00:48:22.920 --> 00:48:27.079
see there's been so much roster turnover
at times, you don't know what you're

655
00:48:27.079 --> 00:48:29.800
looking at. If you've been watching
Clippers basketball all season long, when those

656
00:48:29.800 --> 00:48:31.639
two are out there, it's just
a different brand of basketball. I don't

657
00:48:31.679 --> 00:48:36.400
know how they keep them out in
games where they just need a spark,

658
00:48:36.679 --> 00:48:40.199
where they're down ten, they look
a little bit lifeless in case of emergency

659
00:48:40.280 --> 00:48:44.320
break glass, bring in Bones Highland, just give them a different pace,

660
00:48:44.400 --> 00:48:49.480
a different tempo, get them playing
with speed again. Russell Westbrook's been very

661
00:48:49.480 --> 00:48:52.480
good at that. I think you
brought up the number the other day,

662
00:48:52.760 --> 00:48:57.280
but the Clippers were bottom ten in
assist per game with Russ. Now they've

663
00:48:57.320 --> 00:49:01.400
been top ten over the last sixteen
games post All Star Break. So the

664
00:49:01.440 --> 00:49:07.440
difference he's been able to make,
and just the way this team has shifted

665
00:49:07.480 --> 00:49:09.679
their offense and the way they play
basketball, and the points they've been putting

666
00:49:09.760 --> 00:49:12.719
up. I mean, I just
said it, but the last four games

667
00:49:12.719 --> 00:49:15.960
now, they've been shooting fifty one
percent from the outside, and while some

668
00:49:15.000 --> 00:49:20.599
of it's hot shooting, it's because
they're playing that brand of basketball that coach

669
00:49:20.679 --> 00:49:22.880
Lewis been wanting to see from this
team, which is drive, kick,

670
00:49:23.199 --> 00:49:27.519
swing, get to the paint or
die trying. We're seeing more of that,

671
00:49:27.639 --> 00:49:30.480
and it's because of some of these
guys that's just play with the youthful

672
00:49:30.559 --> 00:49:36.199
exuberance. Yeah, I mean if
before the All Star break, I don't

673
00:49:36.239 --> 00:49:37.840
think I'm speaking too crazy. At
a turn here, there wasn't a lot

674
00:49:37.840 --> 00:49:42.119
of joy to see on the court
for the Clippers, right, even when

675
00:49:42.119 --> 00:49:45.000
things were going well, it was
a machine. It was methodical. There

676
00:49:45.039 --> 00:49:50.159
wasn't that flare of that energy that
Bones like a guy like Bone Thailand or

677
00:49:50.239 --> 00:49:54.360
Russell Westbrook even brings so and winning
does help a lot of that. Has

678
00:49:54.400 --> 00:49:58.639
been playing a little bit better over
this last handful of games. I think

679
00:49:58.639 --> 00:50:01.280
we're eight and eight now since the
All Star breaks. Nice to be back

680
00:50:01.280 --> 00:50:05.159
at five hundred, but we need
that energy like that. That's something that's

681
00:50:05.199 --> 00:50:07.000
part of basketball that there's no staff
for it, but it really helps a

682
00:50:07.039 --> 00:50:09.960
team like those Clippers. And Tyler
says a couple of days ago, we

683
00:50:10.000 --> 00:50:14.360
don't have a roster of quote unquote
movers out there, right. We're a

684
00:50:14.360 --> 00:50:19.719
bit off from the older team.
So Terrence and Bones kind of understanding their

685
00:50:19.800 --> 00:50:22.280
energy role and seemingly kind of kicking
it up a notch. There's just been

686
00:50:22.320 --> 00:50:28.199
wonderful for this team's process because they're
also playing within themselves. Unless your Bones

687
00:50:28.239 --> 00:50:30.239
Highland going for a layup, then
I don't know. Five out of ten

688
00:50:30.280 --> 00:50:34.480
times, I'm not sure what's going
to happen. But I love the energy.

689
00:50:34.760 --> 00:50:37.679
I like what Avizza Zubos did in
the fourth quarter, because as good

690
00:50:37.679 --> 00:50:43.679
as John Morant wasn't that third with
twenty points, Big Zoo and drop Coverage

691
00:50:43.840 --> 00:50:49.000
played him about as well as you
could and forced him into some missus and

692
00:50:49.039 --> 00:50:52.599
in a game with all this hot
shooting and a ton of highlights, I

693
00:50:52.639 --> 00:50:58.320
think that maybe missed just the defensive
presence of Avizza Zuboss when they needed him

694
00:50:58.320 --> 00:51:05.559
most. Yeah, Zoo, it's
so funny looking at these zoobots stat line.

695
00:51:06.119 --> 00:51:08.599
You know, he has ten and
seven on fifty seven percent shooting,

696
00:51:08.599 --> 00:51:12.400
and he's like, well, great, that's exactly what we need. He

697
00:51:12.440 --> 00:51:15.360
was a little bit foul happy in
this one, but the rests were kind

698
00:51:15.400 --> 00:51:19.199
of on one in the second and
third quarters, which was a little unerstandable

699
00:51:19.519 --> 00:51:22.840
foul on Norman Powell where they said
he kicked him that was great. Yeah,

700
00:51:23.000 --> 00:51:28.039
I don't think he was close,
No, not even close. But

701
00:51:28.119 --> 00:51:30.519
Zoo has been awesome. He's another
guy who just puts his head down and

702
00:51:30.519 --> 00:51:34.639
does what's asked. Right, twenty
two minutes or so, we saw some

703
00:51:34.679 --> 00:51:37.760
small ball lineups, you know,
harkening back to some of those old Rockets

704
00:51:37.800 --> 00:51:44.199
days with Russ e j and Rocco. So Zoo's been the consummate and you

705
00:51:44.199 --> 00:51:45.840
know, he's been the steady guy
for the Clippers, right, and we

706
00:51:45.960 --> 00:51:50.639
just got to hope it continues to
be steady. I'm an underrated point there.

707
00:51:50.639 --> 00:51:53.400
There is familiarity with Russell Westbrook and
those two. It's not just Paul

708
00:51:53.519 --> 00:52:00.199
George who he's played with before.
Great point by you, So what do

709
00:52:00.199 --> 00:52:04.199
you think we see on Friday.
Let's hope Kawhi Leonard is able to go,

710
00:52:05.000 --> 00:52:08.400
But adjustment wise, we don't think
the Clippers can continue to shoot sixty

711
00:52:08.440 --> 00:52:15.000
percent from the outside. But we've
talked about this before. Depending on the

712
00:52:15.039 --> 00:52:17.320
playoff route, this is a team
you could see in the Memphis Grizzlies,

713
00:52:17.480 --> 00:52:22.239
and you know they're two and oh
against them so far this season. Out

714
00:52:22.280 --> 00:52:25.239
of the options, it wouldn't be
one of the worst if they caught them

715
00:52:25.239 --> 00:52:29.840
at some point in the playoffs.
So these two game mini series to see

716
00:52:29.880 --> 00:52:34.119
it like this at the end of
the regular season, these games obviously feel

717
00:52:34.159 --> 00:52:37.320
like there's a lot more going on, not just from the standing standpoint,

718
00:52:37.840 --> 00:52:43.280
but possible looks you could see in
a playoff matchup. Yeah, this game

719
00:52:43.320 --> 00:52:45.079
tonight, I think it is a
little tough because the Grizzlies were missing.

720
00:52:45.760 --> 00:52:49.519
You know, you run down their
list of top ten players, they were

721
00:52:49.519 --> 00:52:52.559
missing probably around four or five of
them tonight. But I do agree with

722
00:52:52.599 --> 00:52:55.920
your overall point that I think those
Clippers team matches up well with the Grizzlies,

723
00:52:57.039 --> 00:53:00.840
especially when you add Kaile Leonard back
into the mix, and you know

724
00:53:00.920 --> 00:53:04.199
that's the second best, second real
matchup, and we get Paul George back.

725
00:53:04.400 --> 00:53:07.920
Obviously, I still left their chances
in there too, But I don't

726
00:53:07.960 --> 00:53:10.440
know, Man, we seem kind
of in this inevitable path of playing the

727
00:53:10.480 --> 00:53:14.920
Suns right now, which I wouldn't
necessarily enjoy, and I don't I'm not

728
00:53:14.960 --> 00:53:17.159
really sure if I want to tempt
fate and try and get too cute in

729
00:53:17.159 --> 00:53:21.440
these standings and drop down the sixth
and have something to go horribly wrong and

730
00:53:21.480 --> 00:53:23.719
then end up at the play in
so I'm hoping the Clippers can win if

731
00:53:23.760 --> 00:53:28.719
many games as possible. At this
point, I don't care who the playoffs

732
00:53:28.719 --> 00:53:32.400
opponent is because I don't think we
exactly have a The process has been good,

733
00:53:32.800 --> 00:53:37.159
but I don't think we've had a
process in place long enough for me

734
00:53:37.239 --> 00:53:40.440
to feel confident in kind of picking
and choosing our opponent. That being said,

735
00:53:42.280 --> 00:53:45.159
most people who are listening to this
are have the Daniel two rou game

736
00:53:45.199 --> 00:53:49.400
against the Thunder burned in their brain
where we watched him get blocked. We

737
00:53:49.559 --> 00:53:52.159
felt like twelve times so we could
choose our path into the playoffs. So

738
00:53:52.280 --> 00:53:57.599
the Clippers might get a little crazy, but well we'll see Clippers one one,

739
00:53:57.800 --> 00:54:00.840
one thirty two in Memphis over the
Grizzlies. He's Chuck Chuck Mockler from

740
00:54:00.840 --> 00:54:06.840
the Clips and Dip pod does it
with myself and will Updyke. I think

741
00:54:06.880 --> 00:54:08.800
it's just me and will though tomorrow. So we wanted to keep you on

742
00:54:08.880 --> 00:54:13.239
for more of a long form interview
here tonight, Chuck. After this big

743
00:54:13.360 --> 00:54:15.840
victory from the Clippers, thanks for
doing it. I'll take it. I'm

744
00:54:15.840 --> 00:54:20.480
just happy to come on after William
coming up next. You're gonna hear from

745
00:54:20.519 --> 00:54:23.599
the head coach and Russell Westboro.
Clippers win by nine in Memphis over the

746
00:54:23.679 --> 00:54:29.199
Grizzlies. And you're listening to and
five seventy l A Sports George and Leonard

747
00:54:29.280 --> 00:54:34.599
Running. You're listening to LA Clippers
Basketball. Clipper puts it down plus the

748
00:54:34.679 --> 00:54:38.840
foul every game all season long on
their official home Clippers win in Memphis one

749
00:54:38.920 --> 00:54:43.800
forty one, one thirty two over
the Grizzlies. Welcome back in This is

750
00:54:43.840 --> 00:54:46.760
Clippers Talk. I'm Adam Oslin coming
up. We'll update you on the Western

751
00:54:46.760 --> 00:54:51.159
Conference standings. She'll hear from Russell
Westbrook. We'll get back to your phone

752
00:54:51.199 --> 00:54:53.360
calls, but first I want to
hear from the head coach. Pushed all

753
00:54:53.400 --> 00:54:57.280
the right buttons in this one.
It was coach Lou. You know,

754
00:54:58.639 --> 00:55:01.119
take an advantage of miss masters,
try to exploit. And then the tough

755
00:55:01.159 --> 00:55:04.719
thing just we had a lot of
chances in transition where we just turned the

756
00:55:04.760 --> 00:55:07.599
basketball over and we got a chances
to get layups or get fouled or get

757
00:55:07.599 --> 00:55:09.840
something at the basket, and we
just didn't convert though, So we gotta

758
00:55:09.840 --> 00:55:13.320
be better with that. But you
know, overall, just like the way

759
00:55:13.320 --> 00:55:15.639
we you know, we fought back, took some early timeouts to try to,

760
00:55:15.760 --> 00:55:19.599
you know, get our composure,
and I like the way our guys

761
00:55:19.639 --> 00:55:22.000
fought and competed all night. And
so if you play against the Tailor Jinkings

762
00:55:22.000 --> 00:55:24.639
team and you don't compete, you
you'll get embarrassed. I don't care who's

763
00:55:24.639 --> 00:55:28.920
on the floor. And you saw
that tonight right the way you do,

764
00:55:29.079 --> 00:55:31.239
the way you uh start this game
was poppsy out at the deal. I

765
00:55:31.239 --> 00:55:35.119
mean they went on up. I
think the thirteen you know would run something

766
00:55:35.199 --> 00:55:37.599
like that. That's you. You
had to you know, kind of reset

767
00:55:37.599 --> 00:55:39.960
the game a little bit. And
how did you see your team kind of

768
00:55:40.000 --> 00:55:43.760
doubt stack to the point where you
turn that thing twenty five points time?

769
00:55:44.599 --> 00:55:45.920
I mean, I don't know if
the time change or but guys just looking

770
00:55:45.920 --> 00:55:50.280
a little tired and a little sluggish
early on, and so just get a

771
00:55:50.320 --> 00:55:52.039
couple of early substitutions, try to
get some energy in the game. I

772
00:55:52.039 --> 00:55:55.599
thought helped us out and really affected
the game. And then like I said,

773
00:55:55.639 --> 00:55:59.920
we you know in that in that
stretch, was able to come back

774
00:56:00.000 --> 00:56:01.639
I think closer to uh one point
being down one at the end of the

775
00:56:01.679 --> 00:56:07.280
first quarter, after being down thirteen, so just you know, trying to

776
00:56:07.320 --> 00:56:08.920
balance the game, just trying to
see what works, find what works.

777
00:56:08.960 --> 00:56:12.599
And like I said, I just
love our guys would continue to keep competing.

778
00:56:13.000 --> 00:56:15.480
We understood, you know, how
important this game was to us,

779
00:56:15.840 --> 00:56:17.320
and we just stuck with it and
we was able to, you know,

780
00:56:17.440 --> 00:56:21.559
come out with a big win.
I thought Bones and Russ tonight we were

781
00:56:21.679 --> 00:56:23.679
unbelievable. And that's what we need. You know, when guys are out,

782
00:56:23.760 --> 00:56:28.239
we need guys to step up and
roll cold Bones and and uh,

783
00:56:28.320 --> 00:56:31.599
Russ definitely did that for us.
I I gotta ask my Brusse will flick

784
00:56:31.639 --> 00:56:36.719
because I mean, you were talking
about the player else traded bought out of

785
00:56:36.719 --> 00:56:42.960
this deal and available and you and
he wasn't starting, so he started to

786
00:56:43.079 --> 00:56:45.159
run away. And this isn't the
first time he's had a big game.

787
00:56:45.199 --> 00:56:50.159
To get a big game of the
secondment as far as the efficiency more than

788
00:56:50.199 --> 00:56:54.320
ten BUCkies, but to basically be
responsible to twenty six out of forty eight

789
00:56:54.639 --> 00:56:59.000
field goals made. What did you
see in the hit before you got hit

790
00:56:59.119 --> 00:57:00.679
that led you to do that?
You could put him into the positions to

791
00:57:00.679 --> 00:57:05.639
seem like this for one just the
way he approaches the game every night.

792
00:57:05.800 --> 00:57:07.440
You know, he plays every night, He plays hard every single night,

793
00:57:07.920 --> 00:57:10.239
and just the pace he plays with. I thought we needed, you know,

794
00:57:10.320 --> 00:57:13.639
for this team, you know,
just to get easy baskets, get

795
00:57:13.639 --> 00:57:16.199
easy layups and transition and get into
the free throw line, which he does

796
00:57:16.239 --> 00:57:22.199
a lot. But the things I
didn't know is, you know what kind

797
00:57:22.199 --> 00:57:24.440
of got us back on track and
just having those off days and practicing the

798
00:57:24.480 --> 00:57:28.639
way we did. You know,
we actually had hard practices in March where

799
00:57:29.000 --> 00:57:30.559
you know, those are like training
camp practice, but we needed it.

800
00:57:30.599 --> 00:57:32.880
And for him to set the tone
every single day. You know, a

801
00:57:32.920 --> 00:57:37.199
fifteen year ved the guy has been
MVP, scoring titles and all that.

802
00:57:37.519 --> 00:57:39.360
But for what he you know,
brought to our team as far as just

803
00:57:39.440 --> 00:57:43.880
every day work, I thought was
really good for us. And so that

804
00:57:44.000 --> 00:57:46.079
kind of set the tone and helping
our young guys out like bones and team

805
00:57:46.119 --> 00:57:50.320
man. And so he's been he's
been terrific for us. There was Coach

806
00:57:50.440 --> 00:57:53.159
Lupo's game, Clippers win in Memphis
over the Grizzlies one forty one to one

807
00:57:53.559 --> 00:58:00.719
thirty two. Clippers still in that
five spot, they're just behind the Phoenix

808
00:58:00.760 --> 00:58:05.119
Suns. And win percentage is the
Suns have one less win but also one

809
00:58:05.239 --> 00:58:08.599
less loss than the Clippers. Golden
State a full game behind the Clippers,

810
00:58:08.599 --> 00:58:14.280
and currently the Clippers do have the
better division record, which is your second

811
00:58:14.400 --> 00:58:19.719
tiebreaker? The Minnesota Timberwolves in that
seventh spot, Lakers and the eighth Pelicans

812
00:58:19.719 --> 00:58:22.679
in the ninth, OKAC Thunder in
the tenth. Morris is in the long

813
00:58:22.719 --> 00:58:25.840
beach, Morris, what's up?
Your un Clippers stopped without in Austin.

814
00:58:27.800 --> 00:58:30.000
Hey, listen, when the Clippers
came back they were down by fifteen points

815
00:58:30.039 --> 00:58:32.679
and going into the fourth quarter.
It took me a while to move past

816
00:58:32.760 --> 00:58:36.480
this. I think that was against
Memphis. It didn't they have their full

817
00:58:36.519 --> 00:58:40.719
squad with Adam They had Kawai and
Paul George. No, no, no,

818
00:58:40.719 --> 00:58:45.599
no, no, I'm talking about
Memphis. Did Memphis have their full

819
00:58:45.679 --> 00:58:50.559
squad when the Clippers came back from
fifteen downs going into the fourth which was

820
00:58:50.599 --> 00:58:52.639
the only team in the NBA to
do that this year? According to what

821
00:58:52.679 --> 00:58:55.239
you were sharing with me, did
they have their full squad with him when

822
00:58:55.239 --> 00:58:59.679
the Clippers came back from a fifteen
point different in the entry and the fourth

823
00:58:59.760 --> 00:59:02.920
quarter? You're talking about the game
in early Marsh, I think they were

824
00:59:02.960 --> 00:59:08.199
still without let's see here, I'm
pulling it up right now. No,

825
00:59:08.320 --> 00:59:14.280
they did not. They did not
have John Morant in that game. Okay,

826
00:59:14.320 --> 00:59:15.400
that would make a difference. And
I want to say this with you.

827
00:59:16.559 --> 00:59:20.719
The book on Westbrook has changed tonight. The book on Westbrook has changed

828
00:59:20.920 --> 00:59:22.119
it used to be. And I've
seen this with my own two eyes.

829
00:59:22.519 --> 00:59:25.000
They let Westbrook shoot from the top
of the key, no problem, go

830
00:59:25.000 --> 00:59:28.360
ahead. They would pay him to
do that. I don't think they're going

831
00:59:28.440 --> 00:59:30.280
to give him that three anymore after
what we saw tonight. And I'm gonna

832
00:59:30.320 --> 00:59:32.960
leave you with this. The most
famous leprechan of all time was a guy

833
00:59:34.079 --> 00:59:37.719
near Red Arbat and he once said
that it's not who starts a basketball game,

834
00:59:38.199 --> 00:59:42.639
it's who finishes the game. At
him, Go Clippers, I'll talk

835
00:59:42.679 --> 00:59:45.360
to you to my friends. Clippers
finished strong, outscoring Memphis thirty six to

836
00:59:45.440 --> 00:59:50.239
twenty seven in the fourth quarter.
Russ had nine of his thirty six points

837
00:59:50.800 --> 00:59:54.480
in the final period. Here he
was post games speaking with Brian Seaman and

838
00:59:54.559 --> 01:00:00.400
Jim Jackson on Valley Sports. Great
Playing Today. Ross obviously a lot on

839
01:00:00.440 --> 01:00:02.559
the line with the Clippers in the
Western conference. You know your role has

840
01:00:02.599 --> 01:00:07.480
fluctuated. You were the main guy
here tonight. Was that a mindset for

841
01:00:07.480 --> 01:00:10.400
you coming into this game? Definitely? Man, I'm I'm super blessed and

842
01:00:10.400 --> 01:00:15.960
grateful like I always first and foremost
thing to the men a buff for allowing

843
01:00:15.000 --> 01:00:17.599
me to go out. Without him, I wouldn't be here, and my

844
01:00:17.599 --> 01:00:21.800
mindset never changed. Man, my
role may change my mind, don't.

845
01:00:22.079 --> 01:00:25.440
We have an unbelievable team with Why
and TGI and I know my job changed

846
01:00:25.440 --> 01:00:28.840
a little bit, but tonight we
did it together this which is great.

847
01:00:29.280 --> 01:00:34.119
Rush Jimmy Jackson, Look, congratulations
A little bit for me? Is it

848
01:00:34.239 --> 01:00:38.360
that you have that different burst now? Because it seems like the burst you've

849
01:00:38.400 --> 01:00:42.119
had in the last week, week
and a half, it's like kind of

850
01:00:42.159 --> 01:00:45.559
benches rusty, Yeah, where did
that come? What's what's going on with

851
01:00:45.800 --> 01:00:46.840
It's that time of the year,
Jimmy. It's that time of the year.

852
01:00:46.960 --> 01:00:51.400
Okay. Man, I'm gonna let
people I ain't nowhere. I'm still

853
01:00:51.440 --> 01:00:53.480
here. My job just changed a
little bit. My job, it's a

854
01:00:53.519 --> 01:00:57.519
team competing. Keep my birst there. You know you're fifteen. I'm still

855
01:00:57.559 --> 01:01:02.599
jumping jail. I'm still going man, I'm jealous focusing on the Friday matchup

856
01:01:02.639 --> 01:01:06.280
against this team. This is gonna
look like a lot of different teams for

857
01:01:06.400 --> 01:01:09.039
both sides, for both sides.
One thing about this is this is a

858
01:01:09.079 --> 01:01:12.480
series. We'd be one seam one
time. I gotta come back and beat

859
01:01:12.559 --> 01:01:14.639
him again, and they're gonna be
ready, and we're gonna make sure we're

860
01:01:14.639 --> 01:01:15.519
ready. To a lot of fun
to watch to that. Russ, Thank

861
01:01:15.519 --> 01:01:22.039
you, say what you want about
Russell Westbrook. Guy has always competed hard

862
01:01:22.519 --> 01:01:27.800
each and every night. And I
know there are a lot of people that

863
01:01:27.840 --> 01:01:30.880
were on the other side of it. Should we get Russell Westbrook? Should

864
01:01:30.880 --> 01:01:37.480
we not? Didn't work out with
the Lakers, But this is someone who

865
01:01:37.960 --> 01:01:43.960
has plays that inspire others out there, and I think that's important for this

866
01:01:44.000 --> 01:01:47.360
Clippers team because they haven't had a
guy with this much edge to his game

867
01:01:47.480 --> 01:01:52.199
since Patrick Beverley. They've lost some
of that. They got it back now

868
01:01:52.239 --> 01:01:57.440
with Russ. He's such a competitor. How do you not go hard when

869
01:01:57.519 --> 01:02:02.480
he's out there diving for loose balls, pushing the pace. You gotta run

870
01:02:02.519 --> 01:02:09.119
with him. He gotta play faster. So it has certainly worked out with

871
01:02:09.159 --> 01:02:15.239
the Clippers. The fit, I'm
not gonna say anything is hand in glove

872
01:02:15.360 --> 01:02:19.920
when it's only sixteen games in,
but it's obviously a much better fit with

873
01:02:20.000 --> 01:02:22.480
the Los Angeles Clippers. For reasons, we stayed it stated it would be

874
01:02:23.079 --> 01:02:30.480
with they're shooting, with their spacing
and just with their locker room. Look

875
01:02:30.480 --> 01:02:32.480
at Russ. He's happy, he's
playing with joy again, loves the game,

876
01:02:34.840 --> 01:02:37.920
and has a bunch of guys who
aren't trying to trade him. That

877
01:02:37.199 --> 01:02:42.119
must have been difficult to know.
He was in all those trade discussions the

878
01:02:42.159 --> 01:02:45.519
past year. Now, so he's
loose, he's playing free, and he's

879
01:02:45.519 --> 01:02:51.280
playing his game. Was the number
one option tonight and played like the first

880
01:02:51.280 --> 01:02:54.440
ballot Hall of Famer. He will
be had thirty six on thirteen of eighteen,

881
01:02:54.519 --> 01:03:00.800
shooting goes five of five from the
outside. Clippers wine one thirty two

882
01:03:00.800 --> 01:03:04.519
over the Memphis Grizzlies in game one
of this two game series. As you

883
01:03:04.639 --> 01:03:07.840
just heard it was mentioned Friday,
they'll still be in Memphis, taken on

884
01:03:07.880 --> 01:03:10.199
the Grizzlies. They'll run it back. Tip time is at five. I'll

885
01:03:10.360 --> 01:03:15.239
Clippers countdown for you starting at four. That game will be on the Patriot

886
01:03:15.239 --> 01:03:20.800
Am eleven fifty before we get out
of here, though we do have casual

887
01:03:21.360 --> 01:03:25.199
Katie's Corner. Where's the music?
What? I just I didn't think about

888
01:03:25.239 --> 01:03:29.239
it. I was trying to find
one for Jake and I just respect yourself,

889
01:03:29.320 --> 01:03:30.880
get your music. I mean,
come on, it's your second it's

890
01:03:30.880 --> 01:03:34.920
your world, all right. Kenny
Newton our producer here, everyone, all

891
01:03:35.000 --> 01:03:37.199
right. I don't know if there
is an answer for this, By the

892
01:03:37.239 --> 01:03:42.239
way, hello everyone, But what
qualifies what qualifies for small ball? Oh,

893
01:03:44.000 --> 01:03:49.360
guys who are out there without us
true seven footer or a guy who's

894
01:03:49.400 --> 01:03:54.239
even six ten, A bunch of
wings, guys around six four to six

895
01:03:54.480 --> 01:03:58.639
eight. That's that's small? Is
six eight is small? It's tiny.

896
01:03:58.679 --> 01:04:02.440
I order you for eleven basically,
I mean compared to that. And the

897
01:04:02.519 --> 01:04:05.519
Clippers have a lot of different options
and versatility out there. That's one of

898
01:04:05.519 --> 01:04:10.159
the strengths of their ball club is
that it. Yeah, I mean the

899
01:04:10.199 --> 01:04:13.000
background with that was, you know, I told you earlier I watched the

900
01:04:13.519 --> 01:04:16.679
new Space Jam and then I was
like, uh, and so I decided

901
01:04:16.679 --> 01:04:19.400
to watch the old Space Jam and
it's like, oh, yeah, cleanse

902
01:04:19.440 --> 01:04:25.679
the palette. Yeah, but it's
got a muggsy it's got muggsy and height.

903
01:04:25.960 --> 01:04:28.920
He's five three, and I was
just like, wow, that's small

904
01:04:28.920 --> 01:04:33.320
ball, said on the internet.
Even Earl Boykins over there just the Internet

905
01:04:33.360 --> 01:04:35.840
told me he was five three.
I'm just saying so, I was like,

906
01:04:35.840 --> 01:04:40.480
what is small ball fair enough?
