Time for a postgame. Look, it's your LA Clippers. This is Clippers
Locker Room, brought to you by Cedars Sinai, the official health partner of
the LA Clippers, and by Patschonga, official travel casino of the LA Clippers.
Breaking down today's action with the pre and post game voice. If you're
LA Clippers, they're locking in every game every night. Adam Oslan. The
Clippers go into Boston and hand the Celtics just their second home losses. They
win one fifteenth to ninety six, and it wasn't even that close. Welcome
into your postgame show. I'm Adam Oslin coming up. We'll have Clippers sock
for you on AM five to seventy. LA Sports eight six six nine eight
seven two five seventy eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy is the
phone number. But first let's get back to Carlo Jimenez in Boston. After
the Clippers win in a root a route. The Clippers were led by Kawhile
with his twenty six and he really led them early in that first quarter with
twelve points in the first twelve minutes. Combine that with the stellar defense and
they had the makings for a blowout, and that's what we saw. Carlo.
Yeah, the Clippers were excellent on the defensive end, Adam. I
mean, their best defensive performance this season on the road in Boston. They
were contesting everything. We talked about it with ty Lou pregame out This Boston
team they got fifty three threes last time, and they were able to really
win that game in LA because they knocked down so many threes. Well,
the Clippers were there contesting, they were in the way, and they made
it tough on Boston, made them shoot off the dribble in terms of the
three point production, which is something t Lou talked about pregame. He said,
we'll live with them shooting off the dribble from downtown. It's on the
catch is where they're a lot more dangerous of a team. I mean,
this is just what more can you say about this win other than uber impressive
by the Clippers. Wired a wire, They did it all. They held
Boston to the lowest point total this season, Adam Oslin, and they didn't
shoot the ball well again from the three point line. The Clippers also ten
for forty from three, which I'm sure people should talk about as much as
Boston went ten for forty from three, but it wasn't their night either,
but it was their night on the defensive end of fantastic job for the Clippers
in this one well, and the difference was heading into the fourth quarter.
The Clippers had fifty points in the paint, the Celtics just twenty eight,
and they were shooting under thirty percent heading into garbage time, which is what
the fourth quarter was. Just an unbelievable Clippers defensive performance like we haven't seen
since. I don't know, is clamp City back. Are we gonna have
to get back to that nickname now, Carlow because they brought it with them
to Boston. I mean, you've talked about it recently at them, but
this team, while they've been so good offensively, being a top five defensive
team has eluded them a little bit. But I think this performance shows that,
Hey, when the going gets tough, when it gets down to crunch
time, when you see those big names on the other end, this Clipper
team they can lock in with the best of them in the NBA. And
that's what they showed tonight. I mean, the eight blocks and the eight
steals, absurd numbers, forcing eleven turnovers for Boston, but then getting fifteen
points off those turnovers, taking advantage of opportunities the Clippers clamp city. I
gotta say, Adam, after a game like this has to be back with
the way they shut down the Celtics, And when you lead by thirty plus,
you would expect bigger numbers offensively from the Clippers, but it was so
balanced, and I thought Terrence Man really had his best game of the season.
Early on, you could see it he had a different level of energy
out there. But in that second quarter he had seven points and also had
multiple offensive rebounds leading to second chance points and three pointers for the Clippers.
Yeah. I mean he was an energizer for this team, Adam. I
go back to that start of the third quarter where Jason Tatum and seven in
a row and you thought, all right, here comes Boston's punch, the
coming back in the game. Terrence Man with some huge offensive rebounds and a
putback to kind of pad that Clipper lead. And I think those effort plays
from guys like Tea Men energizes the team as a whole because you see his
effort, you see the way he's fighting and all it's got to make his
teammates want to do is fight just as hard. He was excellent today coming
back to Massachusetts and performed in a big time way fourteen point six rebounds and
three assists. I thought he really played with a little bit of extra felt
like he knew it was homecoming f him his loan game here in Boston on
the season. It was fun to watch Terrence Man have a great night for
this balanced attack once again for the Clippers. The Clippers have won twenty seven
of their last thirty four games and twenty two of their last twenty six since
December first. They are flying high. I don't even know if you'll need
a plane going to Cleveland now, Carloan, with the way the Clippers are
playing, but they will tip off against the Cleveland Cavaliers, who also are
playing their best basketball of the season four pm two from Cleveland on Monday.
We'll have your pregame show right back here starting at three, Carlo, my
friend, great call. Even in the fourth quarter, they were making it
tough on you. I know, with some of the guys that they put
out there, not on their Clippers side, but with the Boston Celtics.
Some names we don't normally see because the Clippers made it inconsequential garbage time.
They win by nineteen, They led by thirty plus in Boston, and they
win with the final score one to fifteen to ninety six. Carlo, my
friends say, travels, talk you on Monday. Thank you, Adam,
can't wait to talk your Monday. Can the Clippers get another big road win?
I don't see why not. The Clippers with a statement victory in Boston,
putting the league on notice if they weren't already. And you're listening to
the Los Angeles Clippers Audio network floading Clippers fully loaded with Clippers fans. This
is LA Clippers basketball. You're listening to the LA Clippers on the LA Clippers
Audio Network. The Clippers dismantled the Celtics in Boston, they win ninety six.
Welcome into your post game show. I'm out of Moslin. Coming up.
We'll have Clippers stock on a five seventy LA Sports eight six six nine
eight seven two five seventy eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy is
the phone number. We'll also get to your final box score. But right
now, let's get to those second half highlights. Please. The Clippers,
Yeah, they had a lead. At the half, they were up by
sixteen. They were playing well, but then the damn broke in the third
quarter and it was Kawhi Leonard leading them once again. Finds Leonard left the
logo and the all white new balances crosses that were left. They takes it
down the left channel puro It's and a paint right handed layout. It's perfect.
Leonard on the right wing for the Clippers dripples left hand into the paint.
Pops freeze frames at home are on the screen from propably takes it into
the paint stops on a hive, floats Leonard in front of his own bench.
Tend to shoot purots face like us and with the right hand. Oh
that's rude. It's Leonard right out bow pedals. They're traffic left pendon left
using a little glass, crusses over twice, steps back on triple perfect.
The dagger is in. Yeah, a third quarter dagger from Kawhi Leonard and
the Clippers. After they led ninety one to sixty heading into the fourth.
I mean only the comeback Clips could overcome a deficit like that. They would
lead by thirty six points in that third quarter. Kawhi Leonard had fourteen points
in the third after he had just twelve at the half. The Clippers go
on to win by nineteen as it was inconsequential garbage time in that fourth quarter
final score, Clippers won fifteen. The Boston Celtics, who had lost just
once at home, they were twenty and one, and the Clippers win one
fifteen to ninety six on the road, their best victory of the season,
without a doubt. It's definitive and we'll talk about it all coming up on
Clippers Talk eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy eight six six ninety
seven two five seventy Clippers gotta keep pushing Cleveland on Monday. We'll get your
final box score though, next right here on Clippers Locker Room on the Los
Angeles Clippers Audio Network, the LA Clippers continue their hunt for a LARRYO.
B. They still want to get that Lario B. Don't miss a moment
all season long. This is the LA Clippers Audio Networks. That's how Boston's
feeling right now. WTF in Boston after they lose by nineteen to the Clippers
at home in a game where the Clippers led by thirty six and it was
over entering the fourth quarter. Perhaps welcome back into your postgame show. I'm
at a Osland after the Clippers just dismantle the Boston Celtics in unbelievable performance.
Clippers win one fifteen to nine. It was not that close. They only
lost the fourth quarter thirty six to twenty four. Once the backups were in.
Oh, teams are gonna need backup going up against this Clipper squad.
Kawhi Leonard was twenty six ten to fifteen shooting last twenty four games. He's
at fifty eight percent from the field and fifty percent from downtown. When I
told you James Harden was gonna unlock the best version of two to one three,
I didn't lie. Paul George just needed seventeen. He was still a
plus twenty three out there. James Harden was two for eleven, all of
six from three. Still led them in the plus minus category. He was
a plus thirty six. Their biggest lead was thirty six. How about team
man a plus twenty seven, had fourteen points, six of twelve shooting,
and some key boards when they were making their run, offensive rebounds, hustle
plays. Clippers getting out and running and ran the Boston Celtics off the floor.
Jason Tatum had twenty one to lead them. They only had two other
players in double figures, and they were backups coming off the bench, and
we're doing most of their scoring in that fourth quarter on real performance. Maybe
go so long talking about it that we lost the song. We'll take a
time out as we head into Clipperstock on AM five to seventy LA Sports Next

ninety six over the Celtics in Boston where they were twenty and one at home.
Welcome in to Clippers Talk. I'm Adam Oslin to eight six six nine

the phone number. You can also get to me on x at follow Adam
A coming up. I think it's big. Will Updike joined the show.
The Clippers won. It's in its contract. We'll see either him or Chuck
Mockler from Clips and Diple be here. We'll get to your phone calls.
You'll hear from t Man and Coach Lou postgame best win of the season period.
Did I mention the Clippers were on the second night of a back to
back. They just played in Toronto. They won by twenty last night.
They weren't supposed to win this game. If you looked at some of the
lines. Boston was heavily favored. They just blew out Miami in Miami.
They have one loss at home. They were twenty and one at home,
and the Clippers dissected and dismantled them. They made them look like they belonged
on a lower tier. I've been talking about how good Boston has been all
season long, and they looked like the best team in the league. They
were second in offense, second in defense, first and net rating heading in
this game. On the season, they were thirty five and ten, now
thirty five and eleven. As the Clippers just continue to improve their record.
They're thirty and fourteen now and they're climbing up the Western Conference standings. More
on that coming up. But I thought this game started the right way,
and that means the ball was in the hands of Kawhi Leonard early and often
we're in that first quarter, in the first twelve minutes, when you know
it's a big game, regular season, playoffs, Kawhi Leonard is gonna show
up. He had twelve points on five of six shooting in the first twelve
minutes and Boston couldn't hit anything. Both teams ended up shooting just ten to
fourteen, ten to forty from the outside, including the Clippers, wasn't necessarily
the difference in the ball game. It was the Clippers getting sixty four points
in the paint, making up for the fact they weren't knocking them down from
three. But in the first quarter, Clippers were two of eight from the
outside, Boston two of twelve, but the Celtics were seven for twenty six
overall, that's twenty seven percent. Some of it, yeah, shooting variants
off night, a lot of it. Clippers defense, even without Big Zoo,
that starting five was on a different level. They only shot ten of
twenty two from the field in the first quarter. It was mostly all Kawhi
Leonard. He had twelve of their twenty six points. Through the first twelve
minutes. They led just twenty six to twenty one. Heading into the second,
I thought to myself, they should be up more, they should be
up double digits. Boston can't hit anything. They were shooting like stormtroopers.
The Clippers weren't taking advantage of it. Oh boy would they eventually in the
second Terrence Man, Terrence Man, tell me again he shouldn't be in the
starting lineup. Tell me, tell me James Harden shouldn't be on this team
or be starting over. Russell Westbrook tell me that please man was awesome.
A lamp at the rim in the first, a dunk in the second quarter,
went at Derek White, hit a three point to the end of the
second quarter, had an offensive rebound, and you're gonna kick out to PG
from three, I believe. Then a tipping off, a Kawhi miss in
the third, a dunk in the third that put him up twenty four,
and the floodgates were opening, and the Boston Celtics that damn was not strong
enough. They couldn't hold back this Clippers team, this offense, and they
couldn't get anything on them on the other end. Defensively, the Clippers showed
up. They put it together for every quarter. That was consequential. When
you're up thirty plus heading into the fourth and you don't have to play your
starters anymore. I'm not going to hold it against them that they only won
by nineteen. The game was over in the third. It was a Kawhi
Leonard three pointer. And you know what, let's hear this mix from Kawhi
in the third quarter, because after having twelve points in the first quarter.
He went scoreless in the second. Clippers still led by sixteen at the half,
and they closed the half on an eight to two run, doing things
the right way, building the right championship habits. And then in the third
quarter Kawhi Leonard detonated. Finds Leonard left the logo and the all white two
balances, crosses over left. They takes it down the left channel Purot's and
a paint right handed layout. It is perfect. Leonard on the right wing
or the Clippers dripples left hand into the paint. Pops and freeze frames at
home are on the screen from promptly takes it into the Peyton stops on an
ive. Quotes Leonard in front of his own bench. Tend to shoot heuro
wet faceline noss and with the right hand. Oh that's rude, Leonard right
obow pedals. They're traffic left tended left using a little glass, crosses over
twice, steps back on triple perfect. The dagger is in. The dagger
was in in the third. It was over Kenny Smith at the Dunk contest
in two thousand with Vince Carter. It's over ladies and gentlemen. Kawhi Leonard
had a spin move in there on Peyton pressure where he would then dunk on
half the Boston Celtics team. Dunk of the season from Kawhi, And if
you didn't know he had fully recovered off the ACL, you better know by
now last twenty four games. Kawhi Leonard is it. Fifty eight percent from
the field and fifty percent from three. You will not find better stretches in
NBA history than what Kawhi Leonard is doing right now. This is the best
he's ever played in the regular season. And I know he doesn't care about
getting snubbed and not being a starter in the West in the All Star Game,
but damn it, when you're a top seventy five player ever and you're
having the best regular season of your career, you probably should be when your
team is this hot and individually you're doing things like this. So I'll say
it for him, because Kawhi lets his play do the talking and backs it
up each in every night out there. But when the games get bigger,
the spotlight gets brighter. Not too bright for him to quote what Jared Allen
said last year against the Knicks and the playoffs, where the Clippers will be
in Cleveland taking on the Cavaliers on Monday. Kawhi Leonard in that third,
though with fourteen points, he didn't score in the second. He comes out
and has a spinning layup, then a long outlet pass to PG for a
dunk, a Kawhi jumper, and then that dunk. That dunk spinning around
Peyton Pritchard. How dare they put Peyton Pritchard on Kawhi Leonard. Then he
had a block on the other end, and then the three point dagger put
him up thirty five. It is ov even when the Clippers came back down
thirty five, second biggest comeback in this history of the league in the regular
season in DC a couple of seasons ago, they weren't down that much heading
into the fourth. It might have been seventeen or eighteen. Nobody is coming
back down that big, even in today's league. Or offense, well,
you're leaning into it in the three point shooting, but again the Clippers,
they were ten to forty from the outid. It's another game where they didn't
play their best offensively, they weren't having their most efficient night. It was
the defense. You hold a team to thirty nine points at the half.
That's insane in today's league, and it's the Boston Celtics on their home floor.
I know Christas wasn't playing. He ain't compensating for this much of a
blowout. Clippers still without They're big man in Big Zoo. Two of the
top three rim protectors were out of the game, but it was the Clippers
taking advantage of that points in the paint. They have scored two hundred and
two points in the paint over their last three games, and their last two
they haven't shot it well from three. It doesn't matter. This team is
on one of those special runs, not just best run in the history of
the Clippers franchise in the regular season. With the way they're playing, they've
never reached heights like this before. This is an all time run for any
team. You win twenty seven of thirty four and are stomping on some of
the best teams in the league on Boston's home floor. It's not like they
were on a back to back. They were prepared, they were ready.
Yeah, they missed some open looks they typically knocked down. I don't know
if it would have bettered Clippers. Team is special age six six nine,
eight, seven, two five seventy Lenny and Ingle would to start things off
here on Clippers Stop without a Males and eight Lenny. Wow, So what
happened today? Man? I was, what's what's what's going on? What's
what's going on? What's going on? What's going Well, if you're a
Boston fan, your pet's heads are falling off. I guess I am stop.
I just wanted a win. I just wanted us to win. The
fact that we did it like that, bruh. I just I mean,
now, Adam, I met your question. Were you at the game?
Are you are you? Are you in l a full disclosure, I'm in
the bank, Carlo was the scene? Okay? Cool? Cool? Because
I mean there's something that I just didn't How does that happen? Man?
That that was phenomenal. I mean they won. PG played an average game,
Russ played a very average game. Hardened directed traffic, but in terms
of scoring, not the and these cats. I mean that D the D
was there. But man, I don't. I'm I'm I'm you said.
You hit on all the points, the fact that you know people who have
a vote and are not and to make the mistake of not putting Kawhi Leonard
in that, in that in that conversation with m VP our fools. Hey,
hey there's one award that Kawhi Leonard wants. And yeah, but like
I said, like h like I want it all sock shoes and draws I
want and Noah probably get a six Man of the Year. TYLERU deserves Coach
of the Year. We want we want to Larry Oby and and Kawhi deserves
m VP. Man, there's no other I can't I can't even see another
player doing what he's doing. Man, It's it's just phenomenal. I you
know, I I'm I'm running, you know, MS run out of access.
Ronald Wurtz proches because but just phenomenal performance. Man. I love the
fact that I think Tyler said set the standard, set the bar high when
he said I expect six and one, five and two at the worst.
And and these cats are stepping up. And Daniel Tye so so nice coming
back, coming coming back to the to the you know, to the spot
Derek White was disrespectful in the first half. He looked at him afterwards speak
on him and the bucket in transition defense to offense that was the name of
the game tonight, Lenny, absolutely man. And then Harden got t Man
going with that, with that uh, with that one handed dunk where I
thought it was gonna be a lay up, and he changed, he changed,
he changed direction and put it that that team to get t Man going,
and he gave him another pass. But Harden is you know, he's
worth his weight in gold Man. So as far as I can tell,
I wish, I wish I was a close friend of Steve Barba, because
I don't Eve must feel like Bryan people Ferrari's right now, because this this
is a phenomenal man. He's just this he he he finally, he's finally
it's paying dividends. Man. And he he's the best coach in the all
sports. Him and his wife are phenomenal in terms of philanthropy. I couldn't
be happy for happy for him, man. I I've never been happy for
a billionaire in my life, but my multimeanter. But listen, man,
we we're clipping is due. Let's just keep doing this thing, man,
And yeah, then you keep doing your thing to Adam. Awesome, awesome
night all the way around, all right, Lenny, Well, not many
billionaires seem as down to earth as Steve Balmer is. That's the difference.
He's a fan, He's passionate. He empowers the right people to take care
of the basketball stuff. And this is the result. Clippers led by as
many as thirty six in Boston. The game was over in the third quarter
after at one point the Clippers were on a twenty one to oh run.
I'm might have to check if they extended that. I didn't think that was
possible. I didn't think they could outdo the twenty two to oh run they
had at the end of the game against Brooklyn. We did it against Boston.
Clippers win one, fifteen to ninety six. All right, this is
Lenny's song us at all Clippers two and zero two games in to this grammy
road trip Cleveland in Cleveland on Monday, we'll talk about that. We'll go
through some more highlights from this ball game. You'll hear from Terrence Man and
Coach Loop post game. You're listening to Clippers hockey here on m five to
seventy LA Sports. They want to bring a banner with them to the into
it. Don more LA Clippers basketball on the LA Clippers Audio Network. Still
waiting for James Harden to ruin this team. Russell Westbrook as well. I
guess I don't know, basketball experts maybe didn't know what the hell they were
talking about. Clippers winning Boston one fifteen to ninety six over the Celtics,
sending them to just their second home loss. Welcome back in the clipperstock.
I'm ota Oslin eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy eight six six
nine eight seven two five seventy is the phone number if you'd like to get
on. Let's start with another guy from Inglewood, the other end of the
coin here the other side, Sean at Inglewood. Hey, Sean, how
you doing? How I'm doing fine? How you doing? You know?
This is so this is so sweet because I was at the Clipper game that
Saturday when Boston shelaxed them by thirty seven, and they did it without Kawhi,
of course, but and the Clippers were just dead tire from they were
playing so many games, but and had won so many in a row,
and then the nine game winning streak went and so I'm just saying, this
was just so beautiful. I wanted that twenty point lead at halftime. We
almost got it. And I'll tell you, they just really interrupted everything that
Boston was trying to do. And you can see psychologically that Boston knew that
day they were being outclass tonight. And it was just such a beautiful thing
to watch. And I still got my bibblehead from the game then, and
I was so disappointing. So I'm just glad that we got our revenge.
And I think Terence Man probably played one of the best games he's played in
a long time. Yeah, I thought it was best game of the season
from him, right, And then even your point that you made, the
Clippers weren't really killing them offensively. They were missing their threes too, and
certain things just you know, there were some lows in the game, and
you know this was not the best game in the world for Westbrook. But
still no, they just dominated them. And then they could dominate a team
defensively and offensively. That's really really good. The Clippers only had eight turnovers
in the ball game. That can help you overcome a lot. That's how
you win the possession battle. Boston only had eleven, but the Clippers made
him pay every time. They had fifteen points off of the celtics eleven turnovers.
And just the force they played with in transition, just bull China shop
type of stuff. The Clippers had the horns out. It was nasty,
and I thought Terrence Man contributed a lot there. Look, Russell Westbrook didn't
have a good ball game at all. He really struggled, and when he
was missing those layups and he just missed far too many at the basket.
Gotta be cleaned up. But it's an off night. It happens. But
that's how Boston. That's really the only way Boston was getting free points.
All those layups you miss him, the opposition's going the other way. It's
a live ball turnover, basically. And it doesn't even matter that he has
that game. Russ finished just two of nine, four points. But when
you're playing defense to this level, when you're digging your heels in and then
also staying in front of your man and rebounding like this where they had fifty
eight boers to Boston having fifty three. So a lot of misshots out there.
But I talked about my keys to victory. The Clippers got outworked by
Boston at home a month ago. Boston beat them to all the fifty to
fifty balls they made the hustle plays. It wasn't just the fact they knocked
down twenty five to three pointers on fifty three attempts, where tonight they were
ten to forty from the outside. They look like they outworked the Clippers in
that game tonight exact opposite Don and Woodland Hill Don, what's up here on
Clipper staff for that of Miles and my man? What's up? Hey?
What's going on to hey? Hey? Great win? Statement win tonight?
Man, it was beautiful basketball being played. I couldn't be happier as a
Cliffs fan to see these guys execute the way they did. Again, like
I said, defense is the identity of this team. You saw a leap
defense being played throughout the game, interrupted to passing lanes, active hands leading
to transition points, fifteen, eighteen, twenty point leads. And I just
want to take a second to talk about Terrence Man. I mean, I
already knew Terrence Man was the key to all of this. We know that,
we know that Kawhi, we know Paul George, we know that you
know Russ and James is gonna do what they do. But Tee Man is
really the key. I've been known that since last year I mean when he
became a star. Hey, hey, you gotta tell me, you gotta
tell me. I think Terrence Man now in the starting lineup, they are
thirty eight and eleven. Going back to last season when he's in the starting
lineup, I've been one of his biggest advocates. Don, I'm glad you're
with it too, so I have on. Yeah, man, he played
about two three games as a starter. I thought trying to you know,
gave him the keys. Obviously if we picked up rest last year and that
kind of interrupted the flow. But yes, him as a starter, man,
it's truly the key to all of this. Obviously helped, But yes,
man, I'm just so happy for this. Playing to night go clips
preod clips. I appreciate it. Don Theresa the phone call eight sixty six
nine eight seven two five seventy. People don't understand. They look at the
box score where Terrence Man, They're like, oh, what he had like
eight points? How much could he really affect the game? You don't know
ball, you don't get it. You don't understand, is being asked of
him next to three Hall of famers in the starting lineup with Russ. It
just didn't work too many ball dominant guys, too many guys that need the
ball in their hands to be effective. Terrence Man's a connector out there and
still making those Russ hustle plays, getting boards, and also a better small
ball screener, better cutter to the basket overall, and the much bigger threat
from the outside. Stand down Russ fans. He's doing his thing off the
bench. The role works. It's great the way he has sacrificed and embraced
his new role. I love it. But this is the right configuration with
the starting lineup. This is what you need. A guy who doesn't need
to take a lot of shots next to I don't know, James Harden,
Paul George and Kawhi Leonard. I asked for it right away. I said
it. It's not gonna work to have Russ and James Harden in the starting
backcourt. It didn't. Terrence Man fits in seamlessly and had fourteen on six
of twelve, shooting, six boards, three assists, but three offensive rebounds.
It's the little things you need guys scrapping out there well. The superstars
can soak up more of the shots and more of the attempts. That is
how you get this juggernaut that has won twenty seven of their last thirty four
games since they injected Terrence Man into the starting lineup. Mitch in New Jersey,
Mitch, what's up? You're on Clipper sock Adam? How are you
doing today? Eh? Great? I call all the time. We'll win
every time. We should play both all the time. This way I can
see the bench, all the bench. The young guys get a chance to
play because it's hard, especially that four whole team here MVP for Kawhi Lennon
and I think I think the club's gonna get the first seat if we win.
I think it'd be uh Kawi would be the first player ever to have
three championships from three different teams. Well, well, there is this guy
named Lebron James. There is this guy named Lebron James. I don't know
if you've heard of him. Oh I forgot How about him? Oh?
I forgot it. I wish he had known that the Clip is playing LA
too. Maybe we're in the Clipper. You know what it was? It
five years? That means with the Lakers now match were moving on? Maybe
do it? No? We moving on? Okay, all right, we'll
get well we'll get him back on Monday too. We got it. We
got a streak out. Yeah, gonna be tough in Cleveland. This would
be a good one, very very d team. We guy, we were
opping. Thanks for the cool, all right, I appreciate the phone call,
Mitch missing New Jersey. There. We'll take a quick time out,
but before we do, let's pause ten seconds for station identification. Here on
a five seventy l A Sports, this is LA Clippers Basketball AM five seventy
KLAC, Los Angeles, ninety eight seven KYSR HD two Los Angeles and iHeartRadio
station. The Clippers blow out the Celtics in Boston. They led by as
many as thirty six. The game was over by the third quarter and they
win one, fifteen to ninety six. I will update you on the Western
Conference standings coming up. We're gonna hear from the head coach and Terrence Man,
Man of the hour. His best game of the season impact wise.
I don't think it was points wise. Who cares winning plays wise doing that
Pat Bev stuff that he used to do. And a lot of you gave
up on Terrence Man. He's in a shooting funk. What's the difference between
him and Russ. Yeah. Well, uh, Terrence Man shooting fifty three
percent from three in the month of January. Now, I think he turned
it around. As predicted, More Clippers sock next year. On a five
seventy LA sit Sports floating Clippers fully loaded with Clippers fans. This is LA
Clippers basketball. You're listening to the LA Clippers on the LA Clippers Audio Network.
Clippers win in Boston, it'll blow out. They led by thirty six,
they win by nineteen. Final score one fifteen to ninety six over the
Celtics. Welcome back in. You're listening to a five seventy LA Sports.
This is Clippers sack. I'm out a Moslin complete domination by the Clippers,
and I love looking at lineup data. Some people think it's too advanced.
I would say it's kind of the core of basketball. It's the five guys
out there playing and usually the best five for a stretch of time wins you
the ball game. And that's what That's what was the case in this situation
in Boston where in seventeen minutes and thirty four seconds, the starting lineup of
the Clippers with Mason Plumbley in for Big Zoo with James Harden Necks to PG
Terrence Man and Kawhi Leonard. They were a plus twenty five and seventeen minutes.
I think they were plus twenty four and seventeen in Toronto yesterday. Yes,
the Clippers did this on the second night of a back to back.
That's what won them the game. The starters, second best lineup that played
two minutes and forty two seconds Hardennecks to Norman Palomere Coffee, Terrence Man and
Daniel Tice. They were a plus seven. Oh, Daniel Tice, he
had something. Dt had something for the Boston Celtics. Three you to start
the second quarter. That was big to start to open things up. He
was fouled on a and one. He would miss the free throw, but
the block he had that led to a James harden layup in transition. The
block he had on Derek White just a lot of authority, Eric Cartman like
authority on that block. It was a lot of force from Daniel Ties,
who in the game had three blocks against his former team. The Clippers combined
verse sixteen steals in blocks against Boston eight steals, eight blocks. That's the
type of stuff I was talking about. Mike Keys to victory, hustle,
plays little things defense. I think last time they combined for just six or
eight in the blowout at Crypto when they didn't have Kawhi Leonard. And what
a difference a day makes, a claw makes. Kawhi Leonard in twenty nine
minutes, Yeah, he played less than he did yesterday against Toronto. He
played thirty one because the Clippers blow him out. Twenty nine minutes, twenty
six points, had twelve of those in the first quarter, fourteen of them
in the third, didn't have to play in the fourth, didn't have to
score in the second, and they still led by sixty and a half.
Tremendous performance by your Los Angeles Clippers. Let's hear from coach Lou post game
after they win one fifteen to ninety six in Boston over the Celtics. Overall,
I just thought defensively, we just did some good things of just trying
to keep you know, little Jay off balance, blitzing them, switching,
firing, not let them get comfortable with the same thing with Jalen, you
know, just trying to keep them off guard because they're great players, they're
great scores, and I thought we did a good job, Like I said
Dan Craig boc in Jeremy, you know, Dante just with the prep Jaylor
and Naga, just trying to keep his team off balanced because they're so high
hired as far as scoring. And we did a good job just making adjustments
and changing and we did some good things. So when the game was somewhat
still in doubt through three quarters, as coach Lou's crediting the defense there rightfully.
So through three quarters, the Boston Celtics were shooting twenty nine point seven
percent from the field. They were six of thirty from three. That is
a crazy number, especially in today's NBA, especially from this Boston team,
especially because they were at home. They've had the second best offense in the
league this season. This isn't some team that's just a defensive juggernaut and they
get their offense where they can. Minnesota's more like that Boston Celtics doing on
both ends, and the Clippers just destroyed them, holding the team under thirty
percent through three quarters. I joked with Carlow midway through the second like,
yeah, you can't hold a team down under thirty percent for too long.
Clippers did it for thirty six minutes. Impressive stuff, Mark and hints and
beach. Mark, you're on clipperstock for out of Mauslin. Well, here
we go again. We gotta make this our theme intro song when we have
games like this. No we don't, Mark, Why don't you sing it
for me instead? Because it's not coming through very well on the radio.
Oh okay, I can do that. Dum dumb. Another one, bum
dumb dumb. Another one. Yeah, another one's gone, and another one's
gone another one. Oh all right, I like it. Mark. Oh,
we got dueling a cappella singers tonight here with parody songs. I guess
that one wasn't. It's just so fitting with what the Clippers have been doing.
Thank you for the phone call, Mark, because Morris and Long Beach
also on the line. More are you singing tonight too? Well, I'm
a believe. I'm a believer, said, I'm a believe. Yeah,
man, this is the worst radio I have ever heard. Short and sweet
there, Thank goodness. Morris in Long Beach. After the Clippers win big
in Boston, Morris called it yesterday. He said they would Terrence man,
Terrence Man, I'm gonna say behind Kawhi Leonard Second most important player tonight for
the Clippers. Paul George of course had his moments and the fact that he
gave it a go dealing with this left groin injury, and coach Slew said
postgame he came out healthy, so hopefully he's good to go Monday. But
a jumper over our Horford to start from PG thirteen, I think those were
the first two points of the game. A three at the end near the
end of the second quarter with about two minutes left. That was big when
they were going through that run. And then he hit another one after the
Terrence Man offensive rebound heading into the half. So some timely buckets from Paul
George, even though he only ended up with seventeen five of eleven, shooting
three of six from the outside, seventeen points in twenty two minutes. Do
you like that? So they were able to keep the minutes down. Not
a starter for the Clippers, had to play more than twenty nine. Kawhi
was of the minute high. Terrence Man in his twenty four minutes was a
plus twenty seven. Elite stuff, the perfect fit, not a placeholder.
His place is secure in this starting five. And here he was post game
on Ballet Sports. Talking with my guy Rashan Haylock, I think Clipper was
able to overcome everything else should win. As we sent it over with over
Shan Ryan Terrence, you know that three point shot was so pivotal for this
Boston club. You were so connected defensively, though. How were you able
to limit them from the three point line? I think just everybody being on
the same page. You know, everybody was locked in on knowing they shoot
a lot of threes and getting out to contesting them, playing good one on
one defense and getting on contestant. He's the ultimate glue guy, right,
But it's more just about your knowledge of the game, understanding the game.
He has some huge Chussel plays that sparked that running in third quarter. What
are you seeing there when you're making those plays, those timely plays that he'll
spark a run like that. That's what I do, man, That's what
I pride myself on. That's what I do for this team. Bring energy,
make plays, make it easier for these big guys. Abardi told me
forty five friends and family here for you in this one. Who was it
like being able to show out in front of the home crowd? Amazing?
Man. Amazing. It's a great opportunity. It's the dream come true to
be playing here on this floor. I girl right down the road. So
it's dope to see everybody here supporting me. Appreciate you for stopping. Congrats
on the wind. It's terrors Man, Brian, great stuff, great stuff
from Brian Seamen and Rashan Haylock there with Terrence Man. Yeah, homecoming for
him. But this is somebody, you know, maybe some extra pressure because
he was back in Boston in Massachusetts. This is somebody who has always thrived
when the pressure is on. I thought Kawhi Leonard and Terrence Man both look
the part and were raising their level of play because it was a big ball
game, because it was a measuring stick contest, because they had just played
in Toronto yesterday and had to start fast. They set the tone. That's
why team Man's on the starting lineup. If he didn't know, uh,
let's see, we'll hold this call. We'll take a quick time out.
We'll get back to your phone calls at eight six six nine, eight seven
two five seventy eight six six ninety seven two five seventy You can also get
to me at follow Adam A on Twitter as the apology tour is continuing from
Clippers fans who may have been out on James Harden. Clipper vat Vlad said,
I could admittedly tuck my tail between my legs and say absolutely I wasn't
on board and it started rough. I didn't expect this Harden. I was
wrong. Who's next? Who's next? Harden was just two of eleven still
control the ballgame was a plus thirty six team high plus thirty six in the
ballgame. That's also the number of the Clippers led by at most largest lead
of thirty six. They win one fifteen to ninety six in Boston over the
Celtics. More clipperstock next here on a five seven E LA Sports. Oh
we got Chuck Mockler coming up next, Big Chuck. The LA Clippers continue
their hunt for a Lario b They still want to get that Lario beat.
Don't miss a moment all season long. This is the LA Clippers audio network.
He Sir Sperkins, where you at Bill Simmons, where you at Clippers
just blew out the Celtics in Boston, and I'm pulling out receipts. Clippers'
best team in the NBA over the last thirty four games, they are twenty
seven and seven. Welcome back into clipperstock. I'm Adam Osland. Clippers win
by nineteen in Boston, they led by as many as thirty six final scores
one fifteen to ninety six. And join the show. Now, his big
Chuck Mockler. After a big Clippers victory, he pushed will Updyke out of
the way. But that's okay, that's okay. The Clippers win like this,
A lot of people are gonna want to get on eight six, six,
ninety seven, two five seventy is the phone number. But Chuck,
what were you most impressed by by the Clippers in this one? I think
I was other than the fact that they got in at two in the morning
and we were able to blow out a team that people thought was the best
team in the league, travel restrictions wise, I was most impressive by the
group effort on the board from the Clippers in this game. If you look
at the rebound numbers in this one, Kawhi Leonard had seven boards, Mason
Pubbly had seven boards, Daniel Tice had seven boards, Paul George six,
Terrence Man six, Harden eight. You had a couple of guys with four,
you had a handful of guys with three. That was an issue that
you know, we were maybe worried about going into this game. Granted the
Celtics were down their starting center, but the team effort on the boards was
huge. I think it also helped Tyson pubbly made me feel little bit better
than they had backup down there. So locking it on that end and making
sure to take care of business on the glass, I was really impressed by
Hey, it's not like the Clippers had their starting center either, and another
guy like Kirstaff sporzingis that's top three in rim protection on the season. But
it's a fantastic point. That is defense and rebounding the old pat Riley rule
to winning championships. No rebounds, no rings, no boards, no rings.
The board man got paid. He did have those seven rebounds, and
there was just I mean, we say it all the time and he downplays
it, but you know, when it's a big game like this, Kawhi
Leonard is laser focused. In twelve points in the first twelve minutes when nobody
else was really scoring, it was him and team man early on that I
thought played really well for the Clippers. And held it down. Defensively,
Yeah, a lot of guys were good, but offensively they needed what Kawhi
provided them to start both halves. Yeah, absolutely. I mean Jason Tatum
came out and had seven points to ope for the second half, and the
Clippers were able to answer that, right, Like, that's a tough thing
to do in ending away environment, let alone the best and I guess the
hardest away environment to play in so far this year. But like you said,
Kawhi was laser focused. He didn't have to play too much yesterday,
you know, so it was great. And Terrence ma hand that felt like
almost took a step this game. I don't know, he was everywhere.
He got subbed in for Russ after kind of a tougher stretch from Russ,
but it was immediately affected with the steal and then a dunk. But no,
I mean they Terrence is kind of emerging, is a you know,
low key leader of this team. He's been on the team a very long
time, especially when you consider kind of a turnover this two and three era.
So Terrence, Terrence really showed something today. It's almost like he earned
that starting spot. It's almost like he deserves to be a starter, and
going back, I want to say, now they're thirty eight and eleven now
over that span of time, heading back to last season when they had that
ten to four with terrace Man in the starting lineup right before the All Star
break. All right, the guy has been too good and he's too good
of a fit next to now James Harden and two one, three out there.
But this team and the defense they showed on the road in eight blocks,
eight steals. You know we've talked about has there been slippage on the
defensive end? Can they put it together for four quarters? Well, I
wouldn't say it was four quarters because the fourth was inconsequential, but when the
game was in the balance, they put it together with their best defensive performance,
right Chuck, Yeah, absolutely. I mean they talk about you know,
people are gonna say, oh, the Celtics shot horribly. The Clippers
also shot horribly in this game. They mean justice in these threes as as
the Celtics did. So. No, the defense. The defense was locked
in. Everyone knew their assignments. There was the rotation. No one was
kind of lacking on that. There weren't any weird soft doubles or anything like
that. Even when Tatum was starting to get comfortable, which started a little
you know, he started pretty hot. And this one they were never overwhelmed.
They didn't push the pace or anything like that. So everyone played within
themselves in terms of the game plan, which I think is a credit to
them and a huge credit to Tyloo give them a turnaround they had for this.
I think another thing that's developing right now is points in the paint.
They've had seventy recently, they've had sixty four in this one, sixty eight
their last three games. They've scored two hundred and two points in the paint
in their last two. They haven't been knocking down three. So they're showing
another dimension in a new way to beat you and dominate you. And that
has been you know, rebounding is a part of that, but also how
often does this team get to the basket. Can they get enough easy buckets?
That's always been a question mark. They're starting to really play better in
that area. Yeah, and it starts with the pick and roll. You
know, you have James Harden playing such a great pickle with Zubos, and
then Mason pubbly has to come in. James Harden has Mason publy looking like
he hasn't missed any time, you know, with in this offense, and
you know there's a reason probably which well and forward a day, and a
lot of that goes for being put in good positions by James Harden and things
like that. So the ability to get touches in the pain helps the fantastic
line up of shooters. They already have two from the outside. So I
don't know things things are going as well as they've ever got about exactly sure
how to handle it, But I think I'm doing an okay job and taking
it all in stride right now. Big Chuck Mockler is joining us from Clips
and Dip a little double dip here on Clippers Talk post game. After the
Clippers led by as many as thirty six, they win one fifteen to ninety
six in Boston over the Celtics. So let's push it forward a little bit
because as good as they are playing, we know a win is not going
to define their season in Boston. This team is going to be measured upon
how they do in the playoffs. But the regular season is very important because
you're trying to move up the standings. We've talked about it ad nauseum.
Only team in the last fifty years to win it that wasn't a top three
seed the ninety if Houston Rockets. Clippers currently in that three spot, and
they got to continue building those championship habits. And now they're taking on maybe
the hottest team in the East since they just beat Boston. I guess it's
got to be the Cleveland Cavaliers. They're nine to one in their last ten.
I want to say they've won something like fourteen of sixteen or fourteen of
seventeen. What do you need to see from the Clippers Monday in Cleveland,
Charles. We need to see Paul George look like he only had to play
twenty two minutes in this game, right, Like Will and I talked about
this week is a little live over on YouTube. But it's not like this
game was a hard spot victory they got right Like, this was just a
complete blowout. So it's kind of weird to wrack your head around it because
usually you would think something like this, Oh, it was a pretty close
game, quick turnaround before playing another good team. Not it's kind of a
slow turnaround all things considered for Paul George and guys like Mason told me too,
right. The Cavs are a very big team as well, So I'm
really excited to see how Paul George looks. He looks great, you know,
Tyler said. Apparently, you know, Paul George is like I insisted
that he played. So I'm excited to see Paul George just on a little
bit more rasp And I'm excited to see maybe what Tyler does in this game.
If we see anything different or weird with the small ball lineup, give
them the size that the Cavs can can throw at you. But I hope
we see the same effort on the boards. I hope we take care of
the ball the same way. But you know, if if they don't make
it, if they don't play their best, I think we can all It'll
be okay, given what happened the last two nights. He is Chuck Mockler,
Hey, is that live still going? I can jump on in about
a couple of minutes here, Charles, Can I get in with you guys?
Or is will holding it down right now? I do you end it?
It is not still going, but we will be. We'll have the
tripod about going after the football games. There we go Now that's a promoter
right there. Only in America. He is Chuck Mockler, Charles, thanks
for doing this to that on Clipperstock, Thanks for having me us go Cliff
Before we get out of here to get to our guy Jose in Southgate.
After a victory like this, I know he's probably a little bit on tilt
on one hundred whatever you want to say. He's excited. Jose in Southgate.
Hey, I'm gonna keep it going clips last, Go Clippers. I
don't know what the initial song was, but you know, you never know.
On Clipperst karaoke here a cappella. It's a great way through a phone
line. Clippers win all the matters again in Boston one fifteen to ninety six.
They have won sure Sure five straight, twenty seven of their last thirty
four, twenty two of their last twenty six, and thirteen of their last
fifteen games. They'll be in Cleveland taking on the Cavaliers on Monday. Tip
time at four pregame at three. Before we get out of here, I
do want to talk to Katie Newton, our producer extraordinary here in the bank,
because there's always time for Katie Newton's casual NBA corner wasn't always a big
fan, but after this season by the Clippers, you know she might be
a diehard. Well, I did tell you I like to see Boston sports
teams lose because, let's be real, the fans, no matter what the
sport, they're the biggest babies they I like them apples, Katie Newton going
to Boston's neck. I mean, I went out ben to Boston. I've
got friends in Boston. It's great city. But sports fans are just big
babies when they lose. What because the Chargers lost to the Patriots a few
too many times on the playoffs, And you're a little bit better because when
you watch, when you watch fans of any Boston team, because you know,
you're right pretty good. You know they're always like it was easy to
root for the Red Sox when they were down and out, but since then
they've won like four championships and it's not quite the same. Yeah, their
fans fault whatever. Okay, Okay, dumping on Boston here. I do
like Brandon Boston my favorite Boston that's right. Okay, how about this.
I don't know how many NBA games not at Staples, well, formerly Staples
now Crypto dot Com arena you've been to. But how many arenas have you
been to? Huh? Yeah, that's not a bad questioner. Think I've
only been to like three or four. I still haven't been to Golden One
Center, even though I'm from Sacramento. Because you know season is happening.
Well, the Clipper season is happening. Uh, we'll make it for when
we get to the into a dome next year. God willing. I want
to see the Promised Land. You can do it. You can do it
all night. Look, okay, Clippers win. It's come on. The
reference was right there for me, water Boy, Clippers win big before you
