WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.800 --> 00:00:06.000 Parents Madness pure on once again, he's Clippers Talk. I got calls on 2 00:00:06.040 --> 00:00:12.080 Clippers Talk, immediate reaction and analysis to today's game. That's what he's capable 3 00:00:12.279 --> 00:00:17.359 of, hosted by your pre and post game boys of the LA Clippers. 4 00:00:17.359 --> 00:00:25.440 Adam Osler, Well the og Steph Curry outperformed the six nine Steph Curry that's 5 00:00:25.480 --> 00:00:30.280 the original, had forty five points, and the Golden State Warriors would go 6 00:00:30.320 --> 00:00:35.240 on to defeat Paul George and the LA Clippers one fifteen to one thirteen in 7 00:00:35.399 --> 00:00:39.320 Game one of this twenty twenty one twenty twenty two regular season. For your 8 00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:44.399 Los Angeles Clippers, Paul George did finish with twenty nine points in defeat. 9 00:00:44.920 --> 00:00:47.920 If you would like to get onto Clippers Talk tonight eight seven seven five two 10 00:00:48.039 --> 00:00:52.280 zero eleven fifty eight seven seven five two zero eleven fifty or get to me 11 00:00:52.479 --> 00:00:57.479 at follow Adam a on Twitter. There were a couple different moments where this 12 00:00:57.520 --> 00:01:00.679 game was lost, and in some ways it's amazing that the Clippers were able 13 00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:06.680 to get back into it, being down nineteen with I believe five thirty left 14 00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:11.000 for five thirty three left in that second quarter and being able to close with 15 00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:15.640 a flurry where they were up sixty seven to sixty six at the half tells 16 00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:19.040 you something about this team. They still have that grit, They're still resilient, 17 00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:23.959 they still have that toughness. What was born out of what happened in 18 00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:27.319 the twenty eighteen twenty nineteen season, with all those comebacks culminating in the thirty 19 00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:33.359 one point comeback over the Colden State Warriors at Oracle Arena in Game two of 20 00:01:33.359 --> 00:01:40.000 that first round series. That stuff still remains. And even though Patrick Beverley 21 00:01:40.040 --> 00:01:44.400 and Lou Williams and Montrez Harold have all moved on, some of that culture 22 00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:49.719 that was built by the front office and by these players, by Osmosis who 23 00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:55.280 have been around the three I just mentioned, it's still here, and we 24 00:01:55.400 --> 00:01:59.439 obviously saw it last year in the playoffs with the twenty five point comeback to 25 00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:02.519 Baltham's selves into the Western Conference Finals in that Game six over the Utah Jazz. 26 00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:07.439 That was an encouraging sight to see because there's not much you can do 27 00:02:07.800 --> 00:02:13.520 when Steph Curry is just going nuclear like that. In the first quarter, 28 00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:19.120 Ryan Adams nuclear style where he had twenty five points in the I'm not allowed 29 00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:23.800 to use that reference anymore. In the first quarter, he was almost outscoring 30 00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:28.159 the Clippers by himself. Steph Curry had twenty five points in the first quarter, 31 00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:31.280 the Clippers had twenty seven, and after one they were down seventeen at 32 00:02:31.319 --> 00:02:37.280 forty four to twenty seven. But my friend Joey Lynn, who we'll have 33 00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:43.639 on Clippers talk throughout the year on Twitter, pointed something out an astute observation 34 00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:47.800 by a Biola University grad and Joey Lynn at Joey Lynn two ends with an 35 00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:53.400 underscore at the end, who's a great job reporting now for SI, now 36 00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:57.840 for the Clippers. He talked about it early in that second quarter when the 37 00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:00.719 Clippers got down by even more, down by as many as nineteen, Steph 38 00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:06.159 Curry wasn't on the court and they lost those minutes. Still, that's really 39 00:03:06.199 --> 00:03:08.840 where this game was lost in some ways. In fact, Steph Curry and 40 00:03:08.840 --> 00:03:13.840 I don't always go by the plus minus in a one game situation. I 41 00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:16.080 think over the course of a season it's more meaningful and maybe it works better 42 00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:20.360 in hockey because I think they started it. He was a minus two in 43 00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:24.759 the game. It was the other guys who were extending leads while he was 44 00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:29.159 on the bench. Both in the second quarter and then early in the fourth 45 00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:36.080 where the Clippers went six minutes slim shay to you're on six minutes without scoring, 46 00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:39.840 from the ten thirty six mark to the four twenty seven mark, so 47 00:03:39.879 --> 00:03:46.360 over six minutes span without scoring at all. It's amazing. They were still 48 00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:49.719 in it at the end, going that ice cold, and during some of 49 00:03:49.759 --> 00:03:53.919 that time Steph Curry was not on the court. This is something Steve kurt 50 00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:55.479 does. He leaves him out till about the six minute mark, it seems 51 00:03:55.520 --> 00:04:00.719 like lately in fourth quarters to bring him back to close, and close he 52 00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:04.080 did. He had a forty footer, as Noah Eagle put it, to 53 00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:09.280 get to forty points. That was just absurd. There's not much you can 54 00:04:09.319 --> 00:04:12.319 do in this league when guys are that good of shooters. Sometimes from that 55 00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:15.759 far out you're at their mercy. And the Clippers were tonight at the wrong 56 00:04:15.839 --> 00:04:19.240 times in the first quarter to Steph Curry, in the fourth quarter, to 57 00:04:19.240 --> 00:04:23.199 Steph Curry where he had ten of his forty five. But in between there 58 00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:27.959 when he wasn't on the court, they didn't make enough en roids. They 59 00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:30.800 made their run actually in that second quarter with him out there. I believe 60 00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:33.560 he only had twenty seven at a half, So he had twenty five in 61 00:04:33.560 --> 00:04:38.759 the first quarter, just two points in the second. Clippers had that one 62 00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:43.079 point lead at the half. We saw the resolve, the comeback clips. 63 00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:46.399 We need to see that. They needed to see that, I think too, 64 00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:49.399 but I also believed they knew it was in him. Any Ways, 65 00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:55.079 there were some really good performances by a former Clipper who I want to highlight 66 00:04:55.839 --> 00:05:00.439 who's now back to being a current Clipper, and that's Eric Bledzell. Twenty 67 00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:04.040 two points, ten of sixteen shooting, hit a three pointer, went to 68 00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:09.560 the basket right after Steph hit that forty footer. He quieted the crowd getting 69 00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:13.720 a left handed layup. But this is why the Clippers brought him in in 70 00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:17.680 a season where you're hoping Kawhi Leonard returns eventually, but you don't know, 71 00:05:18.439 --> 00:05:21.720 and you have to do more than just tread water without him to make the 72 00:05:21.720 --> 00:05:26.319 playoffs in the Western Conference. You gotta have more scoring pop, you gotta 73 00:05:26.399 --> 00:05:30.399 have somebody who's going to attack the basket, and Eric Bledsoe provides that. 74 00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:34.000 And I saw something in him tonight that made me think of Nicholas Batoum and 75 00:05:34.040 --> 00:05:41.439 Reggie Jackson. Two guys who were rejuvenid when they came to the Clippers, 76 00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:45.680 Nicholas Batoum last year, Reggie two years ago, but really had his coming 77 00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:50.360 out party with this new coaching staff and given that green light, especially in 78 00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:55.519 the playoffs after Kawhi Leonard went down, you could see the confidence is brimming. 79 00:05:55.839 --> 00:06:00.240 As our friend Brian Semi would say, Reggie put up nineteen shots. 80 00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:03.439 He had an off night four of nineteen. He did hit a big three 81 00:06:03.480 --> 00:06:06.759 pointer at the end of the third quarter. He hit another big three in 82 00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:13.279 the fourth quarter, but outside of that, his offense wasn't where it normally 83 00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:16.120 is. Still had six assists to just one turnover, and the Clippers were 84 00:06:16.120 --> 00:06:20.000 fantastic in that area. That is another thing that kept them in it when 85 00:06:20.120 --> 00:06:26.399 Steph was going ridiculously Steph in that first half, especially in the first quarter, 86 00:06:26.959 --> 00:06:30.839 Clippers only had seven turnovers on the night. If Golden State lost this 87 00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:35.319 game, Steve Kerr, He's probably still upset in the locker room because they 88 00:06:35.319 --> 00:06:39.079 almost tried to give it away in some ways. When you're up by nineteen 89 00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:44.759 created the Clippers, but Golden State Warriors had twenty one turnovers that led to 90 00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:47.720 eighteen points, and I believe they had the majority of them in the second 91 00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:54.240 half. The Clippers had just two turnovers the entire second half. They just 92 00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:57.959 went scoreless at the wrong time and the fourth quarter couldn't get anything going. 93 00:06:58.439 --> 00:07:00.319 I was a little bit surprised early on when Paul George came back into the 94 00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:04.000 game. I think he only attempted two or three shots in that fourth quarter, 95 00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:09.319 but did hit that clutch three pointer to bring it within one with five 96 00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:13.480 seconds left. That gave the Clippers a chance, but step With hit his 97 00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:17.519 free throws a Vita Zubats had to intentionally miss the second one. It was 98 00:07:17.560 --> 00:07:20.920 a mad scramble as Noah Eagle put it to try to get to that lose 99 00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:25.000 ball, and Paul George got to it, but not in time, and 100 00:07:25.000 --> 00:07:28.199 the shot clock ran out and the Clippers lose Game one of this twenty twenty 101 00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:31.519 one twenty twenty two campaign, one fifteen to one thirteen to the Golden State 102 00:07:31.560 --> 00:07:35.959 Warriors. But remember it's not just them being without Kawhi Leonard. Tonight, 103 00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:41.920 Nicholas Batouma was out for personal reason. Sirge Ibaka is still out, but 104 00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:46.240 he's on the comeback path. The war path he's I think ready for this 105 00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:50.839 season to explode. I think he's ready for his comeback year because he only 106 00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:55.600 played about forty games last year for the Clippers and wasn't himself from the outset 107 00:07:56.079 --> 00:07:58.759 he had that. I believe he called it a pinched nerve in his lower 108 00:07:58.800 --> 00:08:03.120 back of eventually had surgery after trying to give it a go in the playoffs. 109 00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:09.920 Just I believe the quote was he couldn't sleep at night, it was 110 00:08:09.959 --> 00:08:13.720 so painful, and that's when he knew he had to take the surgery. 111 00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:15.680 He was trying to stave it off. He was trying to rehab, do 112 00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:18.759 all these other things to come back help his team as a veteran who I 113 00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:22.920 believe it's still just thirty one years of age. But as Noah Eagles brought 114 00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:28.480 up, it's like having another off season pick up and it's said or he's 115 00:08:28.480 --> 00:08:33.639 said to be very close to returning that could help this team because he was 116 00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:37.519 their biggest off season pick up last year. They let Montrez Harrold go to 117 00:08:37.559 --> 00:08:41.720 the Los Angeles Lakers and they switched him out with Serge Ibaka, a stretch 118 00:08:41.799 --> 00:08:46.480 five, which helped open up the floor. Clippers got off to a hot 119 00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:50.440 start last year with him and Nicholas Batum starting again. Nicholas Batum was not 120 00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:52.360 out there in this game, and how deep is this team going to be 121 00:08:52.919 --> 00:08:58.320 when both of them are coming off the bench. Next two Terrence Man and 122 00:09:00.360 --> 00:09:03.240 Luke Kennard, who struggled also from the field overall just one of five from 123 00:09:03.240 --> 00:09:07.799 distance, but he did have a big three pointer at the end of the 124 00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:11.919 third quarter the Clippers got down. I believe the Golden State Warriors started off 125 00:09:11.919 --> 00:09:16.799 the third on a five hole run and the Clippers were getting down early, 126 00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:20.639 but then they went on a nine three run to close the quarter and it 127 00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:24.519 was all from three pointers Terrence Man, Reggie Jackson and Luke Kennard. Terrence 128 00:09:24.559 --> 00:09:30.679 Man hit two corner threes that were special where he's showing that growth and sam 129 00:09:30.799 --> 00:09:31.679 Z, I don't know if we have a moment, but could we pause 130 00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:37.720 ten seconds for station identification? How we got it? You know it's game 131 00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:41.200 one for me too, Man. But back to Terrence Man, who I 132 00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:46.639 thought played with some of that Patrick Beverley like spirit. I know a lot 133 00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:50.200 of you are missing Pat Bev and he's a fan favorite and he's an all 134 00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:58.600 time Clipper legend with how he helped cultivate this new identity, this La R 135 00:09:58.600 --> 00:10:01.879 way. But he's a a still now and Eric Bledsoe is a need and 136 00:10:01.960 --> 00:10:07.279 you saw why tonight. But the good thing is he had been tutoring Terrence 137 00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:13.120 Man all along. The intangibles are there with him. I think they already 138 00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:16.440 were, but Pat Bev helped bring more of them out because he does all 139 00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:22.039 those little things and winning plays that we saw for years with Patrick Beverley. 140 00:10:22.120 --> 00:10:26.480 And even though Man only finished with eleven points and seven boards and to assist, 141 00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:31.799 he was so much bigger than that. When they could slow down Golden 142 00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:33.919 State, when they could stop Steph Curry just a little bit, it was 143 00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:41.679 the team man. His energy was incredible. On a play where I believe 144 00:10:41.679 --> 00:10:43.720 it was Yeah, Steph Curry got an isolation play on Luke Nard in the 145 00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:46.279 fourth quarter, went by him to the basket. Now, I don't think 146 00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:52.840 Luke played terrible defense on that possession or overall tonight. The effort has been 147 00:10:52.879 --> 00:10:56.399 there from him. But Terrence Man comes flying in for a week side block 148 00:10:56.440 --> 00:11:00.399 and Steph Curry just gets it over the top of him. It's just it's 149 00:11:00.440 --> 00:11:03.120 brutal. Sometimes you can think you'd have him stopped that. Somehow you can 150 00:11:03.159 --> 00:11:07.879 slow him down and he makes one last adjustment and gets it to go. 151 00:11:07.639 --> 00:11:11.000 Special performance from Steph Curry. He's one of my all time favorite players. 152 00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:13.759 I remember when he went for fifty in the Garden back in twenty fourteen. 153 00:11:13.799 --> 00:11:18.759 I was like, Okay, the Davidson stuff is translating to the NBA. 154 00:11:18.919 --> 00:11:24.000 It's happening now. The ankle injuries, he overcame all of those, and 155 00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:28.320 he has revolutionized the NBA in so many ways. But obviously the Clippers were 156 00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:31.799 on the other side of it tonight in this one. Still, though they 157 00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:35.080 had their chances, they showed that heart. They came back down nineteen, 158 00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:37.320 they had to lead at the half, they had a lead at ninety eight 159 00:11:37.320 --> 00:11:45.440 to ninety early in that fourth quarter, but going six minutes without scoring, 160 00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:50.000 that's just tough to overcome against a Golden State team that does have a lot 161 00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:54.600 of firepower even without Klay Thompson. Right now, they're likely going to make 162 00:11:54.639 --> 00:12:00.559 that next step not to just being a play in team, but possibly to 163 00:12:01.080 --> 00:12:05.960 be a sixth seed in the Western Conference. And we'll talk more about some 164 00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:09.919 predictions on the Clippers and where they could end up in the standings by the 165 00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:11.480 end of the season. There are a lot of things up in the air. 166 00:12:11.519 --> 00:12:16.440 But Clippers loose night one fifteen to one thirteen to the Golden State Warriors. 167 00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:20.039 I mentioned Joey Lynn earlier, but our friend far bought Essenshari because it's 168 00:12:20.039 --> 00:12:26.840 the first show of the season and we are such good friends. I've got 169 00:12:26.879 --> 00:12:30.840 friends. I've definitely got friends at far bought underscore E who's been covering the 170 00:12:30.840 --> 00:12:33.519 Clippers also for SI now for a long time. He's a national insider for 171 00:12:33.559 --> 00:12:39.759 the Bleacher Report, and he's contributed to The Evil four Letter and Red Bull 172 00:12:39.799 --> 00:12:43.200 and Forbes, so he's a jack of all trades and a master of many. 173 00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:46.360 We'll talk to far Bought Shari when we come back. Plus we have 174 00:12:46.440 --> 00:12:50.960 postgame audio from the head coach to Ron lou Clippers lose one fifteen to one 175 00:12:50.120 --> 00:12:54.000 thirteen after an unbelievable effort from the Golden State Warriors. And Steph Curry, 176 00:12:54.879 --> 00:13:01.159 who finished with forty five points. Should also point out Marcus Morris stuck a 177 00:13:01.440 --> 00:13:07.240 big three in that fourth quarter with just hundred three minutes left. It was 178 00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:09.559 a clutch shot. This was just if you don't have a dog in the 179 00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:13.720 fight, it was a great game, very entertaining game to kick off or 180 00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:18.639 tip off the NBA season. I know it started Tuesday night, but I 181 00:13:18.639 --> 00:13:22.000 didn't really care about some of those teams planning. All Right, more Clippers 182 00:13:20.960 --> 00:13:24.799 stock coming up next. I'm out of Oslin and you're listening to the Patriot 183 00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:33.840 LA Clippers basketball continues. Say time shot down the stretch. This is the 184 00:13:33.919 --> 00:13:43.279 official home of the Los Angeles Clippers. Clipper's fallen game one of this fresh 185 00:13:43.320 --> 00:13:48.320 regular season by a final score one fifteen to one thirteen to the Golden State 186 00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:52.919 Warriors up at at Chase Center. Welcome back into Clippers Stop. Brought to 187 00:13:52.919 --> 00:13:56.080 you by Honey. The money saving browser extension coming up. We'll get your 188 00:13:56.080 --> 00:14:01.840 phone calls and nottages is already online. Eight seven seven zero eleven fifty eight 189 00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:05.080 seven seven five two zero eleven fifty. Look, I know where it is. 190 00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:07.720 The Dodgers are on AM five seventy. They are in the NLCS. 191 00:14:07.799 --> 00:14:11.759 It's kind of a big deal. It's going to take an adjustment here for 192 00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:15.840 you guys to migrate back to Clippers talk, but it will happen. A 193 00:14:15.919 --> 00:14:20.080 man who needs no adjustments when it comes to greatness and doing a great job 194 00:14:20.159 --> 00:14:26.240 covering the Clippers for some time now for SI. Now he's also a national 195 00:14:26.279 --> 00:14:31.120 insider for the Bleacher Report. It's the bod Man, It's the hot bod. 196 00:14:31.320 --> 00:14:35.120 Farbod Essen Shari joining me here on Clippers Stalk. Far Bard, my 197 00:14:35.159 --> 00:14:41.759 friend, how are you all right? This ain't gonna work, far Board. 198 00:14:45.080 --> 00:14:48.639 We'll put him on hold. We'll try to reconnect with far Bard Essen 199 00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:52.200 Shari, how dare you look? Far Bard normally only comes on after a 200 00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:56.519 win, so I'm wondering if that's what happens when the Clippers lose. It 201 00:14:56.639 --> 00:15:00.600 just turns into static like that. He doesn't like it, can't take it. 202 00:15:00.679 --> 00:15:03.759 I know he's out and about and he's zooming in on the postgame media 203 00:15:03.799 --> 00:15:07.840 calls, and we will have postgame audio from the head coach to Ron lou 204 00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:11.639 in just a second, and I think we're back with far about ess and 205 00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:15.360 sorry, Farbot and my friend, can we hear you? Yeah? I 206 00:15:15.360 --> 00:15:18.399 don't know what happened. I think my headphones took over the phone and I 207 00:15:18.440 --> 00:15:20.440 had the phone to my ear. Okay, yeah, somebody was probably tapping 208 00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:24.919 your phones or not. I get numbers or something, but far bought Tonight's 209 00:15:24.960 --> 00:15:28.000 game was entertaining, but if you're a Clippers fan, it's still disappointing. 210 00:15:28.799 --> 00:15:31.879 Steph was spectacular. I just want to ask you this because I got some 211 00:15:31.879 --> 00:15:35.600 people on Twitter saying, well, you can't let one guy beat you like 212 00:15:35.679 --> 00:15:39.279 this. What do you do against Steph Curry when he's that hot? I 213 00:15:39.279 --> 00:15:43.279 mean, you can let one guy beat you like that. We've we've seen 214 00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:46.679 them do that with Kevin Duray and Russell Westbrook in the past. They kind 215 00:15:46.679 --> 00:15:50.320 of just let him get There's the problem is not I don't think the problem 216 00:15:50.399 --> 00:15:52.600 is step Curry. The problem was they were losing a lot of the non 217 00:15:52.679 --> 00:15:56.799 step Curry minutes. Yeah, but then again, the Lakers lost the non 218 00:15:56.840 --> 00:16:02.080 step Curry minutes, so maybe that's a thing that's gonna happen moving forward. 219 00:16:03.480 --> 00:16:07.159 At the end of the day, it was two pretty evenly matched injured teams 220 00:16:07.799 --> 00:16:12.159 and it came down the shots going in or out, and Steph Curry made 221 00:16:12.159 --> 00:16:15.000 his shots at the end, and then the Clippers missed their wide open three 222 00:16:15.039 --> 00:16:18.679 at the end. I feel like there's a theme here going back to last 223 00:16:18.679 --> 00:16:22.360 season. This just gave me deja vu all over again. But they went 224 00:16:22.399 --> 00:16:26.840 to the Western Corference Finals, regardless, but somebody who wasn't there in the 225 00:16:26.840 --> 00:16:32.240 team last season, but was there about a decade ago. Eric Bledsoe acquitted 226 00:16:32.360 --> 00:16:36.360 himself well back with the Clippers. Ten of sixteen from the field, had 227 00:16:36.360 --> 00:16:38.159 twenty two points. What did you like most out of Eric Bledsoe tonight in 228 00:16:38.200 --> 00:16:42.679 this first game back with the team. I liked his decisiveness to attack the 229 00:16:42.759 --> 00:16:47.320 rim. I mean, he reminded me of Eric Bledsoe of old and he 230 00:16:47.399 --> 00:16:49.039 kind of reminded me of Westbrook to a degree of just I'm going to put 231 00:16:49.039 --> 00:16:52.519 my head down on bulldoze. The one thing I didn't like is there was 232 00:16:52.720 --> 00:16:56.600 a real hesitancy to shoot the three. And I'm not sure you know how 233 00:16:56.600 --> 00:17:00.919 he's going to be as a three point shooter, but his aggression to the 234 00:17:00.960 --> 00:17:03.599 rim is something the entire team as a whole was missing last year for a 235 00:17:03.720 --> 00:17:10.039 large parts of the season. It feels like another guy who could be rejuvenated 236 00:17:10.279 --> 00:17:14.240 in this Clippers winning environment, like we saw with Reggie Jackson, like we've 237 00:17:14.279 --> 00:17:18.400 seen with Nicholas Patou, who wasn't out there for them tonight. It just 238 00:17:18.440 --> 00:17:22.640 feels like you put anybody into this mix right now, in this locker room 239 00:17:22.720 --> 00:17:26.440 culture and it brings out the best in them, which says a lot about 240 00:17:26.440 --> 00:17:32.000 where this organization has been going. Now. I mean, they're really good 241 00:17:32.039 --> 00:17:33.799 group of guys. If you ever get to talk to them, be around 242 00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:37.440 him. They're all a bunch of really nice guys. Whether it's like Reggie 243 00:17:37.559 --> 00:17:44.559 Jackson, Justice Winzo Aviza, Zoobos, pul George, they're all a bunch 244 00:17:44.599 --> 00:17:48.359 of really nice guys and easy to get along with it. There aren't there 245 00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:52.119 aren't that many people that would detriment them in any way. It's easy to 246 00:17:52.119 --> 00:17:56.319 acclimate people in. And also, I mean Bloodsoe said it best, like 247 00:17:56.359 --> 00:17:59.519 who doesn't want to be in La? So you got a chance to be 248 00:17:59.599 --> 00:18:03.160 a star in La. Like you're gonna be rejuvenated. I believe there's a 249 00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:08.200 song about I Love La that the Dodgers were playing earlier tonight. Terrence Man 250 00:18:08.359 --> 00:18:11.960 has loved being a Clipper, and Clipper Nation has embraced him. But the 251 00:18:12.119 --> 00:18:17.759 stats weren't eye popping by any means. But he did play thirty nine minutes 252 00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:21.960 and I felt like he had I said the spirit of Patrick Beverley in him 253 00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:25.559 earlier, but he has some of those same traits that patched a lot of 254 00:18:25.559 --> 00:18:30.279 the dirty were he did very Patrick Beverley, Yes, you know, I 255 00:18:30.319 --> 00:18:34.160 liked a lot of when I saw it a Terrence. The only dark spots 256 00:18:34.400 --> 00:18:38.640 or you know, bad spot of the game I thought was for a good 257 00:18:38.720 --> 00:18:44.680 chunk of Reggie Jackson's play was just it were some bad shots, like some 258 00:18:44.839 --> 00:18:48.519 really bad shots. At one point he was over seven with almost none of 259 00:18:48.519 --> 00:18:51.200 them being a good shot. Yeah, at the end of the game he 260 00:18:51.279 --> 00:18:55.279 was the one hitting some cluss threes because you could see he has a confidence. 261 00:18:55.680 --> 00:18:59.559 He went scoreless till the midway point or with five minutes left in the 262 00:18:59.559 --> 00:19:02.920 third order, and then ended up finishing with eleven points. And as you 263 00:19:02.960 --> 00:19:07.039 mentioned, he did hit a couple of big threes. How do you think, 264 00:19:07.119 --> 00:19:11.160 because obviously this team isn't at full strength, even outside of not having 265 00:19:11.240 --> 00:19:15.440 Kawhi Leonard, but no Serger Baka, no Nicholas batum and we saw Justice 266 00:19:15.480 --> 00:19:19.160 Winslow tonight. I didn't talk about him a ton I did like his cutting 267 00:19:19.160 --> 00:19:22.880 ability. I believe it was Luke Nard who found him on a back cut 268 00:19:22.079 --> 00:19:26.759 on a really nice pass. But how good do you think this bench could 269 00:19:26.799 --> 00:19:30.079 be when Nicholas Batoum and Serge Baca are also there. I mean, I 270 00:19:30.079 --> 00:19:33.440 think it could be a really good bench. I mean, and they're gonna 271 00:19:33.480 --> 00:19:37.119 have to be a good bench because they won't have Kwai and they can't stagger 272 00:19:37.200 --> 00:19:41.039 minutes, so without the ability to sagger minutes, I think they knew with 273 00:19:41.119 --> 00:19:44.960 the construction of the team they were going to have to need a good bench. 274 00:19:45.759 --> 00:19:49.039 So a little hard to see what the identity is after that first game, 275 00:19:49.640 --> 00:19:53.319 it seems like they want to be defensive pests. There was moments where 276 00:19:53.359 --> 00:19:57.160 they you know, they let up too many points in transition for the Warriors, 277 00:19:57.680 --> 00:20:00.319 but it was a good first as for them. I think they were 278 00:20:00.319 --> 00:20:04.599 both pretty evenly matched. I'd like to see what they do against the Grizzlies. 279 00:20:04.759 --> 00:20:08.920 I think they're slightly better than the Grizzlies. They should be better than 280 00:20:08.960 --> 00:20:12.160 the Grizzlies, and I want to see what they look like. I guess 281 00:20:12.160 --> 00:20:17.359 the team they're supposed to beat. You know, after that first quarter or 282 00:20:17.440 --> 00:20:19.960 Steph had twenty five, Golden State put up forty four points, the Clippers 283 00:20:19.960 --> 00:20:22.440 only gave up seventy one. The rest of the way. They never gave 284 00:20:22.519 --> 00:20:26.759 up more than twenty five points in a quarter. Unfortunately, that did come 285 00:20:26.799 --> 00:20:30.960 in the fourth quarter. It was consequential. But we brought up Kawhi Leonard 286 00:20:30.960 --> 00:20:33.279 there far about and I'm reminded of a report by you, and I'm just 287 00:20:33.359 --> 00:20:38.200 wondering if you could hand out some information to the listeners that may make them 288 00:20:38.200 --> 00:20:42.519 more even more encouraged about this season. I mean, the most encouraged thing 289 00:20:42.559 --> 00:20:48.039 about Kawhi Leonard is that there are numerous people that know he's ahead of schedule. 290 00:20:48.400 --> 00:20:53.839 I mean, it's something that's been communicated pretty openly. I wouldn't have 291 00:20:53.880 --> 00:20:57.039 put it out there unless it was super open. It was kind of a 292 00:20:57.079 --> 00:21:03.839 pretty poorly kept secret at that point. I think if he were to return, 293 00:21:04.000 --> 00:21:07.079 my best guess. I mean, obviously this is super far from now. 294 00:21:07.079 --> 00:21:11.240 Anything could happen, right, he could, he could have a setback. 295 00:21:11.559 --> 00:21:15.000 He you know, the team couldn't perform that well and there's no reason 296 00:21:15.039 --> 00:21:18.319 to bring him back. In an ideal world, maybe March or April is 297 00:21:18.319 --> 00:21:22.960 when he could come back. But again, injuries being the way they are, 298 00:21:22.640 --> 00:21:26.200 it's hard to say what happens between now and then. But just know 299 00:21:26.920 --> 00:21:30.640 he's on a good trajectory. Otherwise he wouldn't be shooting all these shots that 300 00:21:30.640 --> 00:21:36.200 he's shooting and he wouldn't travel with them the Golden State. The Seeker has 301 00:21:36.240 --> 00:21:40.519 been out on far Bod SMR for a while. Follow him at Farbot underscore 302 00:21:40.559 --> 00:21:44.920 E. That's f ar b o d underscore E far Bod. Say hi 303 00:21:45.039 --> 00:21:47.640 to the Birdman for me. I know you're hanging out with Tony Hawk or 304 00:21:47.680 --> 00:21:51.079 something, or at least playing the video game, Adam. I just want 305 00:21:51.160 --> 00:21:55.039 you to know you ruin my winning streak on day one, Day one, 306 00:21:55.240 --> 00:21:57.839 Adams, I thought for sure they were going to pull it out. But 307 00:21:59.039 --> 00:22:02.559 this is a bad home. No, no, no, maybe it's a 308 00:22:02.599 --> 00:22:06.119 good home. And because we have a good winning steak and end up losing 309 00:22:06.160 --> 00:22:08.880 at the end of the season, so maybe these happens they would at the 310 00:22:08.920 --> 00:22:11.839 end of the season. Okay, I'm having the Charlie Day gift right now 311 00:22:11.839 --> 00:22:15.880 where I'm starting to piece things together on the white board. But now I 312 00:22:15.960 --> 00:22:18.279 think I know where you're going with that far about next time, for sure 313 00:22:18.400 --> 00:22:22.880 after a win you're coming on. I appreciate you man.

It's just just game one. And this is an 317 00:22:36.359 --> 00:22:40.480 eighty two game season again, okay, make it eighty one? Was that? 318 00:22:40.759 --> 00:22:41.720 Oh no, that means the play of playing. I didn't mean to 319 00:22:41.759 --> 00:22:45.599 say. That's not what I meant. Eighty one game season again. Last 320 00:22:45.640 --> 00:22:49.319 year was seventy two. That's how I got crossed up there. Clippers lose 321 00:22:49.400 --> 00:22:53.640 by two one fifteen to one thirteen to the Golden State Warriors. More Clippers 322 00:22:53.640 --> 00:22:56.640 stuck.

And 330 00:23:37.039 --> 00:23:40.000 I know it's eighty two games, okay, I hit my head really hard 331 00:23:40.039 --> 00:23:44.680 earlier this week. My parents dropped me again. No, it's just it's 332 00:23:44.720 --> 00:23:48.839 been a rough week. A lot of strands. Tagus in Walnut, Tagus 333 00:23:48.880 --> 00:23:53.240 here on Clipper stock with Adam moslind Hey, Adam, good to hear from 334 00:23:53.240 --> 00:24:00.160 you again, Black Clipper basketballs back. So just wanted to say a few 335 00:24:00.160 --> 00:24:03.680 things. But before I said that, you know we're gonna miss Pat Bev 336 00:24:03.799 --> 00:24:07.440 of course, so I had to give a shout out. And I understand 337 00:24:07.519 --> 00:24:12.119 why they traded for Pat Bev because we're traded. I mean traded Pat Bev 338 00:24:12.200 --> 00:24:18.160 for Eric Bledsoe because I think they realized that throughout the year without Kawai they're 339 00:24:18.200 --> 00:24:22.319 gonna need someone to release them the pressure off PG and ball handling, and 340 00:24:22.720 --> 00:24:26.599 that's what Bledsoe could do. And you saw today he can create shots and 341 00:24:26.720 --> 00:24:32.240 drive to the hoop and it's gonna reduce a lot of the wear on Taran 342 00:24:32.319 --> 00:24:36.839 PG. So I think I think it was a good move, and I'm 343 00:24:36.880 --> 00:24:41.160 gonna say it now, Patrick Beverley, he will be a Clipper next year 344 00:24:41.200 --> 00:24:45.920 again. I just have that feeling that he's gonna come back. So that 345 00:24:45.039 --> 00:24:52.240 being said, I think the two keys going into this year. One of 346 00:24:52.240 --> 00:24:56.920 course, is a defense. Last year in the playoffs, I think in 347 00:24:56.960 --> 00:25:00.440 the Utah series they found how to play defense pretty well. Even when they 348 00:25:00.440 --> 00:25:03.559 weren't scoring. They were always in the games and even against the Phoenix for 349 00:25:03.599 --> 00:25:07.319 the most part, so that defense is going to be important and being today 350 00:25:07.319 --> 00:25:10.359 they did a pretty good job. You know, with Steph Curry, he 351 00:25:10.440 --> 00:25:12.440 kind of throw those things out of whack, but overall it did like their 352 00:25:12.480 --> 00:25:18.440 defense for the most part. And the second thing is is the key for 353 00:25:18.519 --> 00:25:22.200 me would be how are they going to generate easy baskets? Because I think 354 00:25:22.279 --> 00:25:27.519 without Kauai and he generally has this post up game and he can provide that 355 00:25:27.559 --> 00:25:32.839 mid range game and drawl those double teams, we're not going to have that 356 00:25:32.920 --> 00:25:36.400 this year. So how do we generate those easy baskets? Is that getting 357 00:25:36.440 --> 00:25:41.000 it to zoo its side? I think it's guys playing more downhill. You 358 00:25:41.039 --> 00:25:45.240 mentioned Eric Bledsoe, almost all of his buckets were at the basket, and 359 00:25:45.279 --> 00:25:48.400 we're seeing that with Terrence Man, although he had a couple of big corner 360 00:25:48.480 --> 00:25:55.039 threes. But I think in some ways they're more athletic. They got more 361 00:25:55.079 --> 00:25:57.720 athletic. I love Patrick Beverley, But I don't remember the last time he 362 00:25:57.759 --> 00:26:03.079 went for twenty two points unless it was Game six against Utah Jazz. Now 363 00:26:03.240 --> 00:26:06.359 he hits some big three pointers in that one. But Eric Bledsoe is a 364 00:26:06.440 --> 00:26:10.519 known commodity as a score and unfortunately for Pat Bev, he just couldn't stay 365 00:26:10.519 --> 00:26:14.400 healthy. His body betrayed him, probably because of how hard he plays. 366 00:26:14.759 --> 00:26:18.160 But we love him. He's an all time Clippers great and he'll get a 367 00:26:18.200 --> 00:26:21.680 standing ovation and the video tribute and everything. In fact, I think he 368 00:26:21.759 --> 00:26:23.559 might have already got one in the preseason. They'll probably do it again. 369 00:26:25.000 --> 00:26:30.319 But thank you for the phone call. Tagus through passing through guys, cutting 370 00:26:30.319 --> 00:26:33.960 through the lane and getting to the basket. Justice Winslow can do that. 371 00:26:33.319 --> 00:26:37.920 I believe both of his buckets were at the basket. Had a nice reverse 372 00:26:37.039 --> 00:26:42.359 layup in the first half. So they have the guys, and they have 373 00:26:42.440 --> 00:26:48.680 the high basketball IQ players that make the game easier and find guys open looks, 374 00:26:48.119 --> 00:26:52.759 turning down good shots for great shots. They've been doing that for quite 375 00:26:52.799 --> 00:26:56.079 some time now. They had twenty three assists as just seven turnovers tonight. 376 00:26:56.599 --> 00:26:59.720 It's great. They'll take that. They also had forty eight points on the 377 00:26:59.759 --> 00:27:03.200 paint. That's up from where they were last year, I believe at forty 378 00:27:03.279 --> 00:27:07.920 four, which was bottom five in the NBA. That's something to watch moving 379 00:27:07.960 --> 00:27:11.359 forward. But we're also going to monitor whether or not they can have the 380 00:27:11.400 --> 00:27:15.759 same amount of three point shooting or that high of a percentage as they had 381 00:27:15.839 --> 00:27:18.400 last year, where they led the league at forty one per Tonight just fourteen 382 00:27:18.440 --> 00:27:22.039 of forty. But they got off to a slow start. I believe they 383 00:27:22.079 --> 00:27:26.240 just hit one of their first eight three pointers in that first quarter. Clippers 384 00:27:26.279 --> 00:27:29.920 lose one fifteen to one thirteen to the Golden State Warriors, And here was 385 00:27:29.960 --> 00:27:36.880 the head coach to Ron Low post game, speaking with me. Probably the 386 00:27:36.880 --> 00:27:40.119 biggest thing is just, you know, find a rotation that fits their works. 387 00:27:40.160 --> 00:27:41.720 And I thought our bench came in and gave us a great lift. 388 00:27:41.799 --> 00:27:47.039 I thought they competed. I thought their physicality really picked up in that second 389 00:27:47.119 --> 00:27:49.039 quarter and they did a good job. And you know, playing against Golden 390 00:27:49.079 --> 00:27:52.960 States, that's gonna have those quarters where he goes off, which you gotta 391 00:27:52.960 --> 00:27:55.119 stayed, of course, and I thought our team did that tonight. So 392 00:27:55.680 --> 00:27:57.880 hats off to those guys. They played a good game and we had a 393 00:27:57.960 --> 00:28:00.519 chance, you know, of ninety eight ninety and didn't scored for five minutes 394 00:28:00.559 --> 00:28:04.680 and forty seconds, So that was a huge part of it. So hats 395 00:28:04.720 --> 00:28:07.680 off the gold and say they played a good game. But I'm part of 396 00:28:07.720 --> 00:28:14.519 our team for the way they competed, I gotta look at it again, 397 00:28:14.640 --> 00:28:17.759 law, But you know, we made some shots, some good shots we 398 00:28:17.799 --> 00:28:19.880 had. I think Reggie had an open shot to take it to eleven, 399 00:28:19.920 --> 00:28:23.039 I think, and then he didn't make that, and our defense was pretty 400 00:28:23.079 --> 00:28:26.720 good, and then Step kind of got going. We tried to fire him 401 00:28:26.720 --> 00:28:27.960 a little bit, but this movement just you know, create a lot of 402 00:28:27.960 --> 00:28:32.519 confusion for us tonight. And he made some deep shots that you know, 403 00:28:32.519 --> 00:28:33.839 we told him you can't relaxed like he's shooting from anywhere, you know, 404 00:28:33.880 --> 00:28:37.279 the best shoot of all time, and he made some big shots without us 405 00:28:37.279 --> 00:28:44.240 being a double team and fire at him. I thought Paul was really good, 406 00:28:44.519 --> 00:28:45.400 you know, I thought he did a good job of you know, 407 00:28:45.440 --> 00:28:48.839 take him the defense gave him. We put Step in the pick and rolls, 408 00:28:48.839 --> 00:28:52.160 they try to show her blitz. He made a good passage to Bledsoe 409 00:28:52.279 --> 00:28:53.720 and t Man, and you know, we made the place on the back 410 00:28:53.720 --> 00:28:56.359 side. We just didn't make shots, So I gotta go back in the 411 00:28:56.400 --> 00:28:59.440 tape. But for the most part, I thought we did a good job 412 00:28:59.440 --> 00:29:02.200 of just trying to execute. And like I said, it's tough for those 413 00:29:02.240 --> 00:29:04.400 guys to try to do that when you got different lineups on the floor, 414 00:29:04.480 --> 00:29:07.799 no center, you know, no four man, and you just kind of 415 00:29:07.799 --> 00:29:10.640 just gotta play free. But those young guys who came in and did a 416 00:29:10.640 --> 00:29:18.720 good job of competing and getting back in the game all the way back to 417 00:29:18.839 --> 00:29:22.400 last year. Just our team just finds ways to, you know, try 418 00:29:22.440 --> 00:29:25.000 to win games, and they do a good job. And no matter what 419 00:29:25.039 --> 00:29:27.079 combination we put on the floor, those guys compete, They play hard and 420 00:29:27.160 --> 00:29:30.160 just try to find ways. And like I said, a team that we 421 00:29:30.200 --> 00:29:33.440 had on the floor tonight, small lineup, we haven't played at all all 422 00:29:33.480 --> 00:29:37.680 preseason or all practice. But like I said, those guys competed. I 423 00:29:37.720 --> 00:29:41.519 thought the defensials they got stopped and he was able to get some shots and 424 00:29:41.559 --> 00:29:42.680 take the lead, and then we kind of went on the offensive drought. 425 00:29:47.079 --> 00:29:53.000 He had four fouls. Yeah, I'll he's feeling pretty good. Yeah, 426 00:29:53.000 --> 00:29:57.279 he's feeling pretty good. Picked up his fourth file early on so you know, 427 00:29:57.359 --> 00:30:03.920 we decided to get him out. I think they were talking about marks. 428 00:30:06.720 --> 00:30:08.640 I thought Blair did a good job. I think he really kept us 429 00:30:08.640 --> 00:30:11.759 in the game even though it was down seventeen at the end of the first 430 00:30:11.880 --> 00:30:12.839 the one for him, we could have been down thirty, you know, 431 00:30:12.920 --> 00:30:17.319 so just you know him getting comfortable, you know, attacking the basket, 432 00:30:17.559 --> 00:30:18.799 you know, being aggressive and making the right plays. And I thought he 433 00:30:18.799 --> 00:30:27.440 did it all night long. He's progressive a lot, you know, just 434 00:30:27.519 --> 00:30:30.680 like Team Man, and you know, a mirror you know, puts into 435 00:30:30.720 --> 00:30:33.720 work just like Team Man. Every day. They kind of like work out 436 00:30:33.720 --> 00:30:36.680 buddies. They did together in the gym all the time, every single day. 437 00:30:36.880 --> 00:30:38.279 And I played development, who's done a great job with just you know, 438 00:30:38.319 --> 00:30:41.160 getting those guys ready to play. And whenever you call his number, 439 00:30:41.200 --> 00:30:45.759 he plays well. So just happy of the progress that young guys are making. 440 00:30:45.079 --> 00:30:48.519 We gotta continue to keep growing. Like I said, Merry came in 441 00:30:48.519 --> 00:30:56.440 and gave us a great boost off the bench. I thought early on, 442 00:30:56.599 --> 00:31:00.240 I thought we wasn't ready prepared for their speed, the cuts, how they 443 00:31:00.240 --> 00:31:03.240 get out in transition, and we talked about it, but it's a different 444 00:31:03.240 --> 00:31:07.559 thing until you get on the floor and actually get a chance to play against 445 00:31:07.519 --> 00:31:10.559 it and kind of settle in. I thought after that first quarter, first 446 00:31:10.599 --> 00:31:14.200 quarter and a half, we really settled into how they play. Our physicality 447 00:31:14.200 --> 00:31:17.039 picked up defensively, and we kind of gotta read on what they were doing. 448 00:31:17.079 --> 00:31:19.160 So give credit to our guys were understanding, like you know, coming 449 00:31:19.160 --> 00:31:22.279 into the game, you don't really know until you get a chance to get 450 00:31:22.279 --> 00:31:23.680 on the floor with those guys. So they did a good job. I 451 00:31:23.759 --> 00:31:26.880 think this is a good learning experience for us, you know, kind of 452 00:31:26.880 --> 00:31:30.920 showed us where we're at we need to work on and playing this team right 453 00:31:30.960 --> 00:31:34.480 here who led the league and assist last couple of seasons on the way they 454 00:31:34.519 --> 00:31:38.079 moved to basketball, the way they moved bodies. No better team to play 455 00:31:38.119 --> 00:31:41.559 in the first game of the season, so now you can prepare. There 456 00:31:41.640 --> 00:31:45.680 was a head coach Hiran Lou after the Clippers lose Game one of this twenty 457 00:31:45.759 --> 00:31:48.720 twenty one twenty twenty two regular season one fifteen to one thirteen up North taking 458 00:31:48.720 --> 00:31:52.599 on the Golden State Warriors. Staff had forty five. One of their first 459 00:31:52.599 --> 00:31:57.799 things that coach Hurrn Lou mentioned was staying the course and they have dealt with 460 00:31:59.200 --> 00:32:04.000 explosive superstars before. I don't know Luca Dantis the last two first rounds, 461 00:32:04.839 --> 00:32:08.680 and they continue to battle, and they continue to fight through it. And 462 00:32:09.319 --> 00:32:13.279 as we talked about a little bit earlier with the farbod like that, one 463 00:32:13.359 --> 00:32:17.400 guy doesn't have to beat you if you shut down everybody else. But with 464 00:32:17.440 --> 00:32:21.960 Steph Curry not out there on the floor, and the Clippers going through that 465 00:32:22.079 --> 00:32:25.079 drought in the fourth quarter, as the head coach just put it, that's 466 00:32:25.079 --> 00:32:30.240 just a recipe for disaster, at least a close two point loss to a 467 00:32:30.279 --> 00:32:34.720 team that turned it over twenty one times. Also, far boyd Essen Shari 468 00:32:35.440 --> 00:32:38.759 at Farbot underscore E just put this out there. As he's listening to postgame 469 00:32:38.799 --> 00:32:44.640 interviews, Eric Bledsoe gave a prayers out to Nico. For Nicholas patum so 470 00:32:44.720 --> 00:32:49.279 Yes, send him some love, send him some positive vibes his way, 471 00:32:49.319 --> 00:32:52.960 as VTB would say, because he was out today for personal reasons. We'll 472 00:32:52.000 --> 00:32:53.960 get out, take a quick break here, we'll come back. We'll get 473 00:32:54.000 --> 00:32:58.079 back to your phone calls. Eight seven seven five two zero eleven fifty. 474 00:32:58.119 --> 00:33:04.319 Eight seven seven five two zero eleven fifty is the phone number. This is 475 00:33:04.359 --> 00:33:07.480 Clippers Talk brought to you by Honey the money is saving browds or extension. 476 00:33:08.160 --> 00:33:12.799 I'm out of Moslin, oh. I just saw this quote from Paul George. 477 00:33:13.039 --> 00:33:15.839 Interesting. All right, we'll talk about that next. All right here 478 00:33:15.839 --> 00:33:28.319 on the Patriot Amal fifteen LA Clippers basketball continued safe time shot down the stretch. 479 00:33:28.480 --> 00:33:43.960 This is the official home of the Los Angeles Clippers. Welcome back into 480 00:33:43.960 --> 00:33:47.880 Clippers Talk after they fall on Game one of this brand new regular season. 481 00:33:50.079 --> 00:33:53.160 Still have the tag on one. Fifteen to one thirteen was the final score 482 00:33:53.200 --> 00:33:55.839 of the Golden State Warriors and Steph Curry, who had forty five, were 483 00:33:55.920 --> 00:34:04.599 victorious. Clippers had their opportunities after coming back down nineteen with five minutes left 484 00:34:04.599 --> 00:34:07.400 in the second quarter to take a one point lead going into the half. 485 00:34:07.640 --> 00:34:09.360 They had a three point lead going into the fourth quarter. They had an 486 00:34:09.360 --> 00:34:14.840 eight point lead early in the fourth quarter, but then they went cold, 487 00:34:15.239 --> 00:34:20.000 ice cold, onto three thousand levels of ice cold. Michelle phif for ice 488 00:34:20.039 --> 00:34:24.199 cold. They went six minutes scoreless in the fourth. They still had their 489 00:34:24.239 --> 00:34:28.880 opportunities, but Steph Curry had a couple of big three pointers late. Jaremond 490 00:34:28.920 --> 00:34:32.639 Green. Jamond Green had a layup and speaking of here was Paul George post 491 00:34:32.679 --> 00:34:38.400 game after he had twenty nine eleven six did his thing twelve or twenty three 492 00:34:38.440 --> 00:34:42.840 from the field, five of eleven from distance. That eleven is a good 493 00:34:42.920 --> 00:34:45.480 number. We want to see him take at least ten three pointers a game. 494 00:34:45.519 --> 00:34:49.639 We call him the six nine Steph Curry for a reason. I don't 495 00:34:49.679 --> 00:34:52.360 know who came up with the first, between me and Shane Young or maybe 496 00:34:52.400 --> 00:34:57.920 a great minds think alike, but he has that ability in him. But 497 00:34:58.039 --> 00:35:04.039 here was Paul George post game, bringing up something we've talked about last season 498 00:35:04.119 --> 00:35:08.079 two and he has as well. And Clipper Nation doesn't understand why he doesn't 499 00:35:08.079 --> 00:35:14.719 get to the charity stripe either. But here was PG thirteen postgame. Draymond 500 00:35:14.760 --> 00:35:17.840 got nine of them. So honestly, I don't know what what he did 501 00:35:17.880 --> 00:35:21.480 that I wasn't doing. You know, I drove the ball more than he 502 00:35:21.519 --> 00:35:23.559 did to the paint, took more contact than him going to the paint. 503 00:35:24.159 --> 00:35:29.519 I don't know how he gets rewarded with nine of them. It's just crazy, 504 00:35:29.599 --> 00:35:31.159 like you get teed up. I'm getting hit in the face. I'm 505 00:35:31.159 --> 00:35:34.920 getting smacked in the face. I shot at three I get smacked on the 506 00:35:34.960 --> 00:35:38.599 elbow like that. That is just crazy to me. But it's it's no 507 00:35:38.880 --> 00:35:43.760 you know, it's it's nothing new. It's nothing new. I just got 508 00:35:43.760 --> 00:35:47.320 to do a better job of staying within the game. And it is what 509 00:35:47.360 --> 00:35:58.079 it is. They're gonna do what they do well. The silence there is 510 00:35:58.119 --> 00:36:01.920 definitely is there nothing else? Okay, Draymond got nine free throw temps? 511 00:36:02.559 --> 00:36:05.840 Now is it a reward when he only hit two of them? It's almost 512 00:36:05.880 --> 00:36:09.320 embarrassing. But he goes two of nine PG thirteen and he's not lying, 513 00:36:10.039 --> 00:36:16.320 went to the basket plenty zero free throw temps and instead gave them one extra 514 00:36:16.360 --> 00:36:21.800 one on a technical because he blurted out, and one when he wasn't getting 515 00:36:21.800 --> 00:36:25.599 a call. It goes back to last year, and I don't know what 516 00:36:25.639 --> 00:36:30.360 it is why he's getting that shack treatment. I know he's a big guy, 517 00:36:30.280 --> 00:36:35.079 but he draws a lot of contact but doesn't get a lot of calls. 518 00:36:35.960 --> 00:36:38.920 And he talked about it last year. And it's not complaining. It's 519 00:36:38.920 --> 00:36:44.320 not crying when it's something that's I mean, this apparent. Even people aren't 520 00:36:44.320 --> 00:36:46.039 clippers fantily. How does he not get to the free throw line? More 521 00:36:46.480 --> 00:36:51.800 when he is going down the middle of the lane quite often, but for 522 00:36:51.840 --> 00:36:54.599 some reason he doesn't get the same calls. And I think part of it 523 00:36:54.639 --> 00:37:00.719 is because he doesn't flail and play the foul game, doesn't ref bait and 524 00:37:00.719 --> 00:37:07.679 they're trying to outlaw this stuff now finally, But guys like James Harden and 525 00:37:07.800 --> 00:37:13.920 Steph Curry at times, and Trey Young, they and look at they exaggerate, 526 00:37:14.239 --> 00:37:17.800 they're very animated with it when they get any contact at them, and 527 00:37:19.360 --> 00:37:23.800 officials sometimes fall forth. And Paul George has never played that game. He's 528 00:37:23.840 --> 00:37:30.960 never cheated the game like that, and it stinks that he suffers for not 529 00:37:31.199 --> 00:37:36.400 trying to deek officials and dupe them into thinking he got foul when he didn't. 530 00:37:37.480 --> 00:37:39.480 Yeah, it's only game one. We'll see how it goes from here 531 00:37:39.559 --> 00:37:44.639 on out. But get Paul George some calls. Okay, we'll get some 532 00:37:44.679 --> 00:37:47.159 more calls on Clippers stock next time around. I know that for sure. 533 00:37:47.239 --> 00:37:51.159 Before before we get out of here, I do want to thank the Clippers 534 00:37:51.239 --> 00:37:59.719 organization. Noah Eagle, Brian Semen, Ralph Waller. That's a three headed 535 00:37:59.760 --> 00:38:06.400 monster right there and back in our Burbank studios. You're fantastic, Sam Zea, 536 00:38:07.920 --> 00:38:10.840 Thanks Sam, luck with the paper. A plus? Is there anything 537 00:38:10.840 --> 00:38:17.079 better than A plus? Until Saturday night with the pregame show starting at six 538 00:38:17.199 --> 00:38:20.679 thirty, right back here on the Patriot AM eleven fifty because the Dodgers will 539 00:38:20.679 --> 00:38:23.159 be on AMP. Five seventy all the sports. I'm at a Maslin Clippers 540 00:38:23.199 --> 00:38:30.119 hosts in the Memphis Curulies. We'll talk to you then. This has been 541 00:38:30.199 --> 00:38:35.599 Clippers Talk. They accepted the challenge, your first post game opportunity to talk 542 00:38:35.760 --> 00:38:38.400 LA Clippers without a Mossley. It's what we've always seen from him. Tune 543 00:38:38.400 --> 00:38:44.119 in next game for all the action on the official home of your LA Clippers.
