Time for a postgame Look, it's your LA Clippers. This is Clippers Locker
Road, brought to you by Cedars Sinai, the official health partner of the
LA Clippers, and by Patchonga, 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 Osland Clippers win by
twenty five and San Antonio over the Spurs one twenty four to ninety nine.
Welcome into your postgame show. I'm Adam Oslin coming up second half highlights,
your post game box score and Clippers sock on am five to seventy. LA
Sports eight sixty six ninety seven two five seventy eight six six ninety seven two
five seventy is the phone number. But let's get back out to San Antonio
and get your radio voice of the Clippers in Carlo Jimenez. Clippers finished with
just seven turnovers in the ballgame. They've slowly but surely been cleaning up the
turnovers the last couple of games. But how about James Harden ten assists to
zero turnovers. Carlo James Harden was everything that the Clippers thought he could be
and Moore tonight. Adam, Look, you didn't have it going shooting wise
four to twelve for the field. That didn't matter because in that second quarter,
when you were able to set the table with tys or Zubots on a
pick and roll and on the outside you had Norm, Kawhi and Russ,
the offense just flowed so easily. And we're starting to see this team gel
a little more, and the more dangerous it looks as time goes on.
Head coach Ron Lew said, beat patient, we'll be all right. That
six game winning streak didn't face him at all. And Adam, it looks
like we're seeing why this Clippers team looks as dangerous as they come. You
can turn them all over over only seven times and give thirty assists, you're
gonna win almost every game you play. Yeah, and I love the fact
that James Harden made life so much easier for Paul George and Kawhi Leonard.
There was a play through in the first half of that third quarter. First
the lob over the defense for Kawhi for an and one, and then the
no look pass to Paul George for a layup. These guys typically don't get
baskets that easy out there. You'll love to see it. You do love
to see it. The Clippers are getting great looks around the rim. I
love the Paul George kind of helping the team finish things. To begin that
fourth quarter, he was out there to put the nail in the coffin and
he put two nails just to be sure. I think he had eleven or
thirteen points in that final frame at him. And then Kawhi Leonard was super
aggressive to start and that carried out. And I think when Kawhi is shooting
the ball early and him, it just gives everybody else the confidence to know
that, hey, they don't have to force everything because Kawhi is gonna get
his And he did tonight with his twenty one points. And even after starting
zero for three, he kept putting them up. He started to knock down
a couple from the outside, and Yeah, Paul George dominated in that fourth
quarter. By my count, Carlo, he was six of seven with fourteen
points. He could not miss. He helped Kawhi Leonard stay on the bench
late. Yeah, it was perfect. It was what you needed to close
the game. Kawhi talked about being able to go up big and finish,
and the Clippers and him finished today. San Antonio gone within eleven at one
point, within nine for a hot second, but that was in and George
put him to bed in the fourth quarter. He was excellent from the field.
Continues to be the two way talent that we all thought this team could
be. Terrence Man. I mean he might not score at him, but
boy does he affect every facet of this ball game. Yeah, he proves
it that sometimes in the box score you can be kind of unstatable. The
plus minus is always good with him. But oh of six from the field,
who cares? He had three steals. He was picking guys up full
court, and he was doing some of the dirty work out there. Hey,
when Paul George and Kawhi Leonard need a rest. Defending wise, Terrence
Man can be that point of attack defender. He loves to do it.
He thrives in that area, and so does Daniel Tice off the bench eight
of ten with nineteen points. But it was the hustle plays and just being
available around the rim, whether just combating shots in the perimeter or getting to
the basket for some easy throwdowns. I believe it was Russell Westbrook who found
him a couple times in the second half, a huge dunks from Tys.
Yeah, he was excellent. Three offensive rebounds for Tys Adam to go along
with his one steal and only one turnover. And I say that because he
had the ball a lot at the free throw line. Harden or Leonard or
George would find him at the free throw line trying to navigate and pass to
the guys around the offense, and he did a great job finding people around
the rim and outside the arc. It was really interesting when somebody asked head
coach Sharan lu what flipped in Cleveland when you had all the stars with lebron
Kyrie along with Kevin Love, and he said, well, we made a
trade. We picked up Timothy Moskov and the defense was there, and he
was able to run the rim as a movable big who could catch the ball
and distribute. And it feels like Daniel Tye has walked into a situation where
his skills are being emphasized because of what little he has to do. He's
not going to need to score nineteen every night, but he's gonna need to
box out and pass well, and he's doing both those things. Well.
Norman Powell also, I want to highlight second highest scoring ballgame of the season
for him. He has nineteen but timely threes from him the last couple of
games. Hit the one with about three minutes left in Denver, then with
six minutes left against Houston, and then in that third quarter when San Antonio
had it down to eleven, he knocked down a huge, critical pivotal I
think, lead changing, game changing shot from the outside. Norm's been excellent
to start the season. I think he's hit multiple threes in all but one
game this year, averaging fifteen points in his last three games on over fifty
percent from the three point line. Clippers didn't shoot it all that well from
the three point line twelve for thirty six thirty three percent, but you're right
at him. They were timely threes made tonight. When the Spurs would go
on run, the Clippers would respond with one from downtown. We heard head
coach Searron lou in the pregame talk about the three ball has really changed the
game in the sense that teams can go on runs and leads are never saved.
But yet the Clippers were able to use those three to keep their lead
safe. Tonight, Yeah, no doubt. Clippers go on to win one
twenty four to ninety nine in San Antonio over the Spurs. They will run
it back Wednesday. I believe tip off same time. Carlo. Correct me
if I'm wrong. It happens too often. We got a five pm tip,
four pm pregame for you on Wednesday on Thanksgiving Eve, Clippers in Spurs.
Let's see if the Clippers can make it seven straight over San Antonio?
Or is that tonight? Carlo? Correct me there too, you were you
were right, Adam, go second, Yes, and you're two for two
for two. Come on, go with your intuition, Go with your first
guest. I remember Scantron's Clippers win one twenty four to ninety nine over the
Spurs in San Antonio. Carlo, great call. We'll talk to you on
Wednesday. My friend doc to you. Wednesday. We'll be salving a little

Let's get to some second half highlights. Clippers were up by eleven at
the half. It was sixty six to fifty five Clippers in that third quarter,
though. Kawhi Leonard once again got them off to a quick start.
Into the orange paint, kicks it out. Leonard on the right wing,
pump fakes at three, so hand Jumpsy drives by so Hand pakes line,
jumper fading away and he putting it home. Kawhi Leonard with another buckets,
He's gone fourteen. Leonard underneath the ram pump fakes fans, lays it up
and one the deuce and damage for Kawhi Clippers lead and the ball Leonard to
the rim. The flutter is home. We're picking up the pace here in
San Antonio. Kawhi above twenty Kawhi Leonard with nine points on the third quarter.
Clippers were up by twenty in the third, but towards the end of
it San Antonio started to chip away. It was ninety one to seventy seven
entering the fourth. In the fourth quarter, though, Paul George absolutely caught
fire straight away shovels back to George and the highlight of yellow shoes. It's
a freak to line on his backside. Brendon Ky'll sneak his way to the
mid range jay and finds his mark again. Paul George with a couple of
buckets. Straight away George gets away from McDermott, a triple yes. Paul
George, Clippers with basketball attacking to our left up by twenty as we approach
eight minutes to play, underneath George left tended, lamb overre and in Paul
Georgia team high twenty three with nine in the fourth George down the left out
beating the team with twenty three points. Fades basically jumper swirls home Paul George
with a eleven in the frame. George traightaway a three. You passed,
Paul George rattles it through twenty eats. Paul George entered the fourth quarter with
fourteen. He would get fourteen in the fourth on six of seven shooting,
and the Clippers would go on to win big one, twenty four to ninety
nine over the San Antonio Spurs. Coming up, we'll get to your final

Clippers remain in San Antonio. They'll do it again on Wednesday. More
Clippers postgame locker room coverage next right here on the Los Angeles Clippers Audio Network.
LA Clippers basketball is on the two one three era continues. You're listening
to the LA Clippers on the LA Clippers Audio Network. Clippers win once twenty
four to ninety nine in San Antonio over the Spurs as they took care of
the basketball and they got to the free throw line over and over again san
Antonio. I think as they were trying to make up for some poor defense
on the perimeter coming into this one. They were giving up forty one percent
shooting on three pointers. Clippers only win twelve of thirty six from distance,
that's thirty three percent. But they fouled the Clippers three times on threes.
I believe it was Paul George once, Norman Palell twice. They're a little
over zealous there, trying to show, hey, we can defend the perimeter
too. Can you defend without fouling? Though Clippers end up with just seven
turnovers in the ball game, they go twenty two of twenty five from the
free throw line. And how about your newest Clipper Daniel Tice eight of ten
A plus eighteen off the bench, nineteen points, seven boards, big throwdowns,
energy plays, contesting everything defensively, getting deflections, had to steal love,
the effort and the hustle he played with. That's what he's been doing
his entire career. We just haven't seen him much last two seasons. Good
to see him in a Clipper's uniform now. Terrence Man also making hustle plays.
He went zer of six from the outside. He's gone about seventy five
minutes without making a shot on the court. Who cares love him in the
starting lineup as he takes some of the toughest assignments and makes guys have to
feel his presence out there. Defensively, he was a plus seven James Harden
though, when you talk about that assist a turnover ratio thirty to seven,
Harden ten assists to zero turnovers by himself thirteen points, four of twelve,
shooting a couple of three pointers, miss some of his shots towards the end.
He didn't return in the fourth quarter. Neither did Kawhi Leonard. Both
of them finish with twenty eight minutes. That bodes well for Wednesday. Well,
they'll run it back against San Antonio. Paul Giorgio led them with twenty
eight points eleven of sixteen, shooting four of eight from distance six of seven,
with fourteen points in the fourth quarter alone, win one, twenty four
to ninety nine, and San Antonio. They'll do it again. As I
mentioned on Wednesday, same tiptime at five, same pregame show starting at four
outside of Los Angeles. We're leaving you until then, but coming up next
on AM five to seventy LA Sports, we got Clipperstock eight six six nine

dominate San Antonio once again. They didn't win by forty, but they win
by twenty five and got their first road victory of the season. They win
one twenty four to ninety nine in San Antonio over the Spurs. Welcome into
your post game show. I'm Adam oslind and this is Clippers Talk. Good
to be with you. Clippers. Make it two in a row. You

sixty six nine eight seven, two, five, seventy or at follow Adam
a on X coming up, we'll hear from will Updike of clips and dip
fame. But this was a taking care of business type of victory for the
Clippers. This was how you have to play when you know there are really
tough games coming up. Friday back at home against the Pelicans. I believe
got the victory earlier tonight. Zion Williamson has been dominant when he's healthy,
and I don't think the Clippers have had to deal with him yet, which
is amazing so far. But they beat up on the Sacramento Kings once twenty
nine to ninety three, and that is a team, by the way,
that has had the Clippers number even without Zion. They see them Friday back
at home, then the Mavericks Saturday at home. Yeah, home, back
to back. That's just brutal, and then Monday, the Denver Nuggets come
into Crypto dot Com. Now we need to see the same thing on Wednesday
against the Spurs, who have lost nine in a row. They're reeling,
they're spiraling. They lost Devin Vassel. Didn't have him in this ballgame,
who was shooting forty three percent from the outside, getting seventeen a game,
and they just really don't have it together offensively or defensively. They're twenty ninth
in offensive rating and defensive rating. It's been tough for them, it's been
tough for Greg Popovich, but the Clippers can't feel sorry for anyone. This
is how you have to win. It's less about style points to me,
and more about getting guys out and resting and healthy for the grind that's coming.
With those three games I just brought up, Kawhi Leonard only had to
play twenty eight, James Harden twenty eight. Neither guy played in the fourth
quarter because they were good enough beforehand. Kawhi with nine of his twenty one
in the third and got some easy ones thanks to James Harden lobbing it up
the court to him. Kawhi gets an an one, James Harden finds Paul
George for a no look pass for a layup. I told you day one,
James Harden is going to unlock the best of the two pin to three
connection. He just makes the game so much easier. It's amazing to me
that because of maybe Charles Barkley or perception or the way he played in Houston
at times and the low lies. People think this guy is just a dribbler
when he's been leading the league and assists multiple times and just had ten assists
to zero turnovers, went four of twelve from the field, who cares,
was a plus seventeen and didn't turn the ball over once and made life so
much easier for everyone around him. And people associate him with just isolation basketball
and getting his Did you not watch last season he helped Joe l Embiid get
the MVP. Did you not watch him in Brooklyn? He was great at
creating for others like Kyrie and Kevin Durant. I know it was only a
dozen games or so, sixteen total with those three, but you could see
it there. That's the blueprint. That's what they saw. And one of
the reasons I believe they wanted to bring him in was, Oh, look
how much better he made Kyrie and KD when they were healthy. What could
he do for Kawhi and Paul George. He's a threat offensively and he's a
threat to pass the basketball. We talked about it a ton in the pregame
show. The way James Harden can draw two, get the defense off balance
and find others or a floater for himself. That's part of the game that
he's mastered, the high pick and roll, the step back three, which
obviously should He showed off in style with the game winner Friday night. He's
been really impressive the last three games overall. Going back to the Denver game,
I know the Clippers didn't pull it out. It wasn't on James.
They stay it's small late. They paid for it against Jokic after leading by
seven with six minutes left. But the starting lineup now with Russ coming off
the bench and Terrence Man next to James Harden, It's what I wanted back
in July. I've been saying it for months, back when the trade rumors
first started. Terrence Man is so switchable and versatile defensively, I don't care
that he's o for his last ten and about the last seventy five minutes he's
been out there on the court. He's pressing a little bit. He turned
down a shot in the first half from three when he was wide open for
a fifteen footer. Probably should have just taken the threes thirty eight percent three
point shooter for his career. But what he brings defensively in the hustle plays
three steals, Clippers with fifteen total smothering defense. You can say, oh,
it's just San Antonio. Well yeah, but they won by twenty five.
That's the way you want them to beat up on lesser competition, right.
They took care of business. That's how you're supposed to play if you're
a team that has championship expectations versus a team that trying to get into the
play in bottom three team in the West, likely team in transition with Victor
Weminyama and babying him at times, this Clippers team tonight looked much more like
a well oiled machine. Thirty assists to seven turnovers unbelievable. And even though
they went just twelve to thirty six from the outside after starting off much hotter
from deep, it didn't matter. They got different ways to beat you.
They can beat you with points in the paint. When James Harden is there,
when Russell Westbrook is dishing to Daniel Tye, who looked incredible in just
his second game as a Clipper, We're all wondering, I know he's gonna
hustle, I know he's got heart. The question is what does he look
like physically? He looked good this summer at Foeba for Germany, they won
gold. How much can you take away from that? Well, nineteen points
off the bench for Tye Vanilla Tice eight of ten and knocked down a three
pointer, multiple dunks off passes from Russell Westbrook who found him on the interior.
I thought Russ after starting off slow, missed a bank shot, missed
a three pointer, didn't like the shot selection. Then everything was at the
rim, finished four of eleven, got some layups. He looked more comfortable
after missing his first couple. He had a steal, got it to Tys
for a bucket, a layup to start the second quarter, another layup out
of a timeout, and then a layup in the fourth quarter. That's what
Russ needs to do. Apply pressure on the rim, not just with him
putting up the shot. Find Tys. Find big zoo, big zoo.
By the way eleven boards. I want to say he had nine, eight
or nine at the half, when he only had seven in the entire ball
game Friday night against the Houston Rockets, But he came alive late with four
of a seven in the fourth quarter and was punished them, and I thought
it transferred over a little bit. He only played twenty two minutes. Clippers
went small a lot. It worked against San Antonio. There were some lineups
out there still that I didn't love. With Aviza Zubats once again next to
PJ. Tucker, there were minus seven quickly. I believe it was in
the second quarter. It just hasn't been there. There just isn't spacing offensively
with those two on the court. PJ. Tucker did play some nice minutes
next to Tye. Those two paired together because Tys can't shoot a little bit.
I believe he knocked down a jumper or not just a three pointer,
but PJ. Tucker he didn't even attempt to shot. And when you're not
a threat from the outside, teams aren't gonna respect you. They're going to
sag off of you, and they're going to congest the paint. I like
some of the defense I saw with him against Victor Womenyama, But you know,
I think it has to be situational with him against a team like San
Antonio, and when you're up big, maybe you try some things out to
see if they work. And we'll hear from coach lu on that in just
a little bit. But the PJ. Tucker minutes have been tough overall.
But Daniel Tice, they pick him up off buyout from the Indiana Pacers in
twenty one minutes at nineteen points and he'll and one turnover. And what I
noticed from him in Foeba playing for Germany was he just contested everything around the
rim and he paid for it in Game one, I guess because I love
the effort. But he got dunked on twice by the Rockets. Who cares
he's there, none of them are and ones He's trying to protect the rim.
Put your pride aside. Do what's best for the team. He does.
It started today with a layup off a pass from PG, then a
behind the back pass from PG to him for a three that he knocked down.
He had multiple offensive rebounds on one possession in the third Daniel Tice ended
up being a miss afterwards, but keeping the basketball for the Clippers. Kawhi
missed a three, though, then Tys had a tip in on that,
then a dunk off a pass from Russ, a layup in the fourth quarter
at the sixth thirteen mark, and then another dunk off a pass from Russell
Westbrook. They were applying pressure still with their backups, and Paul George out
there just on a heater six of seven, and I think he scored the
first nine points for them in the fourth quarter. Let me check that.
There's two, there's two more, there's a three, there's seven. So
the first seven points from Paul George in the fourth just okay, let's put
him away. Kawhi doesn't have to come back out tonight. Great. That's
how you kind of load manage and get guys rest in games. If you're
a great team, that stuff needs to happen more. Too many times last
season was the Clippers on the wrong side of things, beating the team down
twenty, losing to bad teams Orlando twice. This year, it's just their
fifth victory, second straight with James Harden after losing sixth straight. But second
time they've blown out San Antonio. They blew out Portland opening night, they
beat Orlando by fifteen. Do they need to start stacking some wins against tougher
competition, of course, but they weren't playing them. And come Friday they'll
see the Pelicans, then Dallas, than Denver. They'll get their their shot
very soon here Clippers win once twenty four to ninety nine over the San Antonio
Spurs the run back against him on Wednesday. Before we break, let's get
to Morris in Long Beach. Morris, what's up here on Clipper stock withou
Amason's Adam? You know? It seems like forty percent of the time when
I called you know and stole my thunder listen Wimen was the last time the
Clippers had a five hit a three point shot? Say it one more time,
morse wim was the last time that the Clippers had a five hit a
three point shot be able to shoot the three the center Ooh, serge Bocka,
serge Oboca, serge of Bacca. I would say, oh, it's
been a while. I'm gonna change him. I liked this boy tight.
He looked like one of these guys that just got released from one of the
NFL teams. He couldn't make it in football, so you're going to try
to play basketball. I mean, this guy was like a bowling pin.
He was running around, he was touching Adam at him. He was touching
people how much easy? Way about two forty he was set a pick over
here that didn't work right over here, said another. He was moving.
I didn't recognize these guys. If they didn't have clippers on their uniform.
I went and in harding beard and everything. I wouldn't have recognized they were
moving. There wasn't nothing nobody standing around. Remember remember the other day when
the coach got a latitude about, you know, almost coached a little bit
about the guy just walking. And they were walking around today. I know
it, look at it. I know it's San Antonio, but I'm gonna
tell you something. They are getting ready for Denver. The road to the
O'Brien Trophy goes through the Joker. They got somebody now that the joker just
came back down, and they got somebody that could pull him out that key
and hit that three. I'm telling you, that's what I saw tonight.
I was very well, all the other guys, you know, they're good,
but I was impressed with this guy. I said, where do they
find this? Do that? Really? They got a team and they got
their nine. They got their nine there it is. I know you gotta
cause that, but I'm impressed with what I saw tonight. Man, let
me let you know. Okay, all right, good question Morris. Maybe
Hartenstein was the last Isaiah Hartenstein. I know, I think Big Zoo was
like one for one in his career when he hit that shot late in the
season in twenty twenty one and then went directly to the bench to keep his
iron man could play any two straight games in check. I'm thinking Hartenstein it
was probably the last five to do so, at least the last. Like
true Big Daniel ties six' eight, he plays bigger than that to your
point, extremely physical out there, seven boards, three offensive rebounds, two
came on one possession. Clippers out rebounded them fifty one to forty eight.
Spurs did have twelve offensive rebounds to just ten for the Clippers. But you
know, they shot forty eight percent from the field, and it's about getting
to the charity stripe sometimes and knocking him down twenty five attempts to the Spurs
fourteen, and the Clippers should not be sixteenth in free throw percentage as they
were coming into this ball game. This team has too many good shooters for
that. It's not like, you know, Vita Zubats shoots around seventy percent
at the charity stripe. He can shoot for a big Last season, the
Clippers were I want to say, just out side top ten at the charity
Stripe. This season, they're sixteenth, middle of the pack. Would like
to see him improve there because they can and it's not sexy. I always
say it, it ain't pretty, but you can win ball games with the
charity stripe, and I thought the Clippers getting there early and often. Multiple
times they were fouled on three pointers. I think it was Norman Palace twice
and Paul George once, who was also hit in the face by Victor Webman
Yama the first possession of the ballgame. His hand looked like a face hugger
from Aliens on Paul George's face got hit in the eye, left Norman Powell
came in, then PG came back in and Boyd he'd come back in the
fourth quarter with a vengeance seven six of seven with fourteen points on the fourth
helped put this one away for the Clippers. While we have a moment,

five in San Antonio over the Spurs. Let's go to Jose and Southgate.
Before you hear from the head coach, Jose, what's up, Adam?
I didn't know you're gonna go to meds early. Hold on, real quack,
all right, there, Adam, oh man, I get your stuff
in order, all right. I feel like you just had the clippers eighth
turnover. You know what, eight did that for the whole game? That's
good? At him, all right, look anyway, look at him.
I was ready to call it really good already and not even see the game.
Well, I saw half of the game, and then I heard Cardos.
All I heard was Daniel Tayas, and then I saw us getting the
shot up within seven six seconds. And then on top of that, I
heard Morris say right now that if they didn't have clippers across the chest,
you couldn't even recognized him. At him, Look, this is call is
for you and everybody over that clips and dip. I don't know what you
all been talking about, but you heard my energy, I mean, keeping
my optimistic faith at him, and I love what I hear so far.
It's only game. Oh like now, I can't even I could barely not
turn it on my hands. Is that early in the season. At him?
I told you you said when he got thirty to forty games with them
healthy, and I and TYLERU said, we need ten to fifteen James to
what I say, expect good wins. We just beat a Gregg Popovich team
with the number one dragt lion. Well, well, hold on, hold
on, hold on, hold on, hold on. They're three and eleven.
This is this is not this is not Jerobe Tony Parker. Uh,
this is not Tim Duncan out there, David Robbinson. Let's cool our jets
a little bit. It's a good victory because of how much they were able
to pour it on and pull away and get their starters wrestlate that and they
have the number one draft pick in the position that we supposed to believe are
the week at that right, and you're only as strong as your weak as
lean and we just beat them by how much? At them? Okay out
exactly right? So come on now, Adam. I love it right now.
I love it. It's still early in the season. I love it
because I finally get to talk the NBA with our schedule at them this season,
especially this whole plain on Friday, not playing till Monday, and then
seventeen games in March. The more, Adam, And that's man, that's
why we have the funny because we're gonna get to the playoffs. The Clipper
Nation. Finally, you just just just stay with us, Just stay with
us. They got bigger goals than just the playoffs. Did you hear James
Harden post game after the last one, he said, stick with us.
We got bigger things in mind, bigger fish to fry out there. Did
you hear that, Adam, you need to stop going crazy down clipper talker.
You gotta stop saying this and that fans. No, Hey, Jose
who was right about having Russell Westbrook come off the bench. It just so
happens that everything I was saying now is turn this team around with James Harden
being the lone ball handler in the starting unit. Since then, they have
won two straight. I said there were concerns because they were trying to play
James Harden and Russell Westbrook in the starting backcourt together and there was just a
conflict there. They couldn't figure it out. That's not going to work.
And you know what out of you also said that don't put it on you,
but you feel that bone tailand is the key to all this. And
guess what Tyler said that you know what we're in the tessis rotation. Bone
Tiland might be out for another eight to ten games. Yeah, I said
that before they had James Harden. He's a little bit different now. No,
no, no, I'm say he's right back you know he's right back
in there. He's not right back in there. No, no, no.
He came in in garbage time, he played four minutes tonight. He's
not back in the rotation. Norman Powell has been too good. What are
you supposed to do with Norman Pale's out there shooting forty five percent from three
and he had nineteen points. I mean, talked about him tonight, five
to twelve and critical three pointers. He's been hitting for this team lately.
Him in for Terrence Man with the rest of the starting lineup has been a
nice five man rotation. And you know what that is, right? You
want to know why that's been a nice because he's a straight you know what,
When I get the ball, I'm gonna shoot it. And we have
a lot of players who they're gonna get to their spots, but if their
spot's not there, they're gonna neither pass that ball. And we need a
ready to shoot a guy. And Norman Powell is the guy too right now
if we have it at him, That's what I'm saying. Yeah, everything.
Everywhere you go. We have it at him, We have it at
him. I love it. It's twenty two in a row. But I'm
here to say this. Let's see. Let's see if they can get back
to five hundred by the time Friday night comes. Huh oh oh, Adam,
I don't come on now, you know. Oh, that's what I
want to say. So we beat the Spurs, we're gonna beat him again.
Technically, we're gonna double down on the Pelicans, and then we got
Dallas and the Nuggets coming to town. Let's go left clapart, all right.
A peek into the schedule from Jose in Southgate. I like the energy
as always he brings it. He's excited about this victory. I am two
in just the way they won. Yes, it's just San Antonio, but
that's why you got to win big and make sure you're getting Kawhi Leonard rest.
Paul George only had to play thirty two minutes. James Harden only had
to play twenty eight. But I'm telling you, Harden hitting that floater early
over Wemby after he cooked him with a faking the step back move and then
went by him. And then Harden fouled on a three pointer, so he
was one of the three guys foult on a three pointer by San Sonio.
I think it was him and then norm how twice it wasn't Paul George,
it was Hardened. But he had a beautiful pass to Tice for a layup,
just kind of a wrap around between two defenders for sin into Ono.
Doesn't matter. Harden had a layup late in the second quarter after a big
three hit. There was one play I didn't like early in the third quarter,
little too much of a dribbling exhibition into a step back three pointer where
they didn't just run their offense. But then afterwards Harden has a no look
to eats a Zubos, then a time then a three out of a timeout
midway through the third a no look to PG for a layup after a lob
pass to Kawhi Leonard. Those are the two plays I have highlighted at nauseum
here to tell you he's making life easier for Kawhi and Paul George. He
has so much to give to this team. And if you think James Harden
is just a score, maybe check out the fact that he had ten assists
to zero turnovers tonight Clippers with a total of thirty assists to just seven turnovers.
I credited Jose and Southgate with having their eighth with the way he stumbled
out of the block there, but he ended strong his phone call like the
Clippers did win in the fourth quarter thirty three to twenty two. Let's hear
from Coach Lou post game after the Clippers go on to win one twenty four
to ninety nine in San Antonio in this two game mini series in San Antonio,
next game coming up on Wednesday. He was Coach Lou post game,
just we played a little better. You know, I think we're starting to
get comfortable understanding, you know, the different different role as far as you
know, Russ coming off the bench and how we want to play. And
then PG coming back in with that second unit as well, you know,
playing through him a lot more, and so that was that was the biggest
thing in a thing, just playing through PG more in that second unit.
He kind of got going, got his rhythm and so just you know,
like I said, still just you know, figuring out. We understand the
rotation is what we want to do, and it's gonna be a process.
You know, we understand that. So tonight it was a step in the
right direction. You know, was a good win for us the way we've
been, you know, struggling, but it was good to see us,
you know, ball moving around the ball, hopping. Thirty assists, only
seven turnovers, you know, So we talked about that, taking care of
the basketball, and so that was good for us. Exact numbers, but
it seems like why is getting a lot morg set shots catching shoot shots O
last couple of games. That's something that you've seen, is that when you're
enverurging to take more because I liked getting rid of the Yeah, I mean
him and James both, you know, just being comfortable taking those catching shoot
threes. And you know, James, like I said, ten assists,
no turnovers, you know, taking care of the basketball and making the right
play. You know, guys are gonna get open shots, so we gotta
be ready to take them, and vice versas for James with PG and Kawhi
run and pick and roll, he's gonna get open shots. So we got
to be able to take those as well. So you know, it's coming
along. You know, like I said, step in the right direction,
it's still gonna be a process of just you don't understand the floor of the
game. But it was how dare how dare they cut off Coach lou like
he's at the Oscars with the music there and the curtains closing. But I'll
touch up Paul what he was talking about a little bit with Paul George in
that second unit there at the start in the fourth quarter, to start things
off, it was PG Norman Pale, Daniel Tice, PJ. Tucker,
and Russell Westbrook. They were the guys that really opened things up. After
it was ninety one seventy seven entering the fourth, after they let their foot
off the gas a little bit where they win about four and a half minutes
without scoring. Late in the third quarter they had just I'd leave it was
five points in four and a half minutes to end the third quarter, I
should say. But then Paul George started cooking. There was some great synchronicity
between those five guys in the fourth and a lot of Paul George. But
Norm Powell had a tough in one layup with the left hand. Gotta give
him more love. He had a great ballgame for them. Russell Westbrook driving
layup and then finding Daniel Tice for a big dunk. Sometimes a dunk is
more than the dunk. It's an energy play. It also gives you a
chance to go back set your defense. You love seeing that. But then
eventually it was time out. Around the four minute mark, the backups came
in a mere coffee, musa diabat Terrence Man. Carlo Amennez pointed this out
wisely. He thought Terrence Man came in with bones Highland mussa diabate, Norman
pell a mere coffee, just to try to find a rhythm offensively, try
to get a shot to go. Missed a three pointer. So I guess
you could say he's struggling there with his shot, but that's not what he
does best for this team overall. Now, the Clippers' new starting lineup,
in two games, they're plus thirty eight in thirty minutes. They have outscored
their opponent by thirty eight points in thirty minutes. I don't know why you
guys couldn't see the vision. Those that were saying, oh, they'll get
it to work with Russ and James Harden in the starting lineup, that was
never going to work. Many of you were pointing out the advanced stats of
Russell Westbrook being good with the starters and not James Harden. Well, a
lot of that was earlier in the season when they got off to a hot
start beat up on some bad teams, including the San Antonio Spurs. Those
numbers were skewed. They were never gonna hold up. They were never gonna
be sustainable long term. James Harden as your third best player is the move.
I believe the Clippers coach Low in the front office all know this,
and Russ knew it, and that's why he's sacrificing. And he played very
well tonight in his role. I thought after a couple ill advised shots,
Early couldn't get to go. I think all four of his makes were at
the rim, and he was also finding guys there like Daniel Tice. But
the Clippers starting lineup tonight a plus eighteen and fourteen minutes after they were a
plus twenty in sixteen minutes against the Rockets Friday night. So yeah, plus
thirty eight in thirty minutes through two games seems good. Who could have predicted
this? Oh me, I don't know. I told you a billion times
this is this is how you have to run it. It's no disrespect to
Russ. They need what he brings. They need his leadership, his heart,
some of those intangibles, but also his pace and downhill attack. They
just don't need it in the starting unit next to James Harden when he's trying
to run pick and roll and it's congested because you have two non shooters out
there and Russ and a Viza Zubats. That was doom from the start.
It's not surprising to me if they lost five in a row when they brought
in James. That's why I won't see what they do about the PJ.
Tucker. It beats a Zubats minutes that I want to say are over a
minus fifty and about forty five minutes so far together on the court. We'll
see. I know they know, they know the excuse me, they know
the numbers. Easy for me to say. Coach Lou was quoting some of
them last Thursday at practice before some of the reporters could spit him out.
Coach Lou, he had him on the tip of his tongue. He's got
a beautiful mind. He's a pretty brilliant guy. I've heard some things about
him and numbers that are extraordinary. So I think he plays it advanced numbers,
with eye tests. It's not one thing or the other. But this
is the starting lineup. To me, this is what you need. Start
Russ with the second unit with Paul George. They have familiarity from OKC and
more James Harden next to Kawhi Leonard. It's been effective and it's only going
to get better. Guys, we're talking about James Harden, who is almost
free points in the pick and roll. He's getting a point and a half.
The Clippers are per pick and roll that he has run and he hasn't
even run that many yet. He's just so devastating in that area. It's
so difficult to stop for the defense. But with a team this balanced next
to him offensively defensively, I don't know if he's ever had this much balance
on both sides of the basketball, both sides of the court. I am
intrigued. I am excited by this, But they gotta handle business on Wednesday,
and then you need to get some victories against high end competition. Pelicans,
then Dallas on a back to back, then the Denver Nuggets next Monday.
Can't overlook the San Antonio Spurs team though, yet they're coached by Greg
Popovich. They're gonna try to bounce back. They're not looking to get to
ten losses in a row. More Clippers start coming up next. We will
have Will Updyke on from Clips and Dips. Jose and Southgate kind of set
me up for that talking about the podcast. So I checked my text messages.
Wait a second, as Will still in. Yeah, he just asked
me about what I'm bringing for Thanksgiving? Side dishes, green bean cast role
as my jam? Can I make it known I ask someone else to make
it and beg them and flip my twenty please that and Pillsbury Croissant rolls whole
stick of butter on each one. What run like ten miles every day?
Now? More Clippers stock next, they win by twenty five. It's marathon,
not a sprint. They're five and seven now. They're trying to get
back to five hundred long regular season. But you got to load up and
beat up on the lesser teams. You're listening to a FI seventy LA Sports.
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. Clippers win by twenty five in San Antonio
over the Spurs. It's got this text from your radio voice to the Clippers
and Carlo Jimenez. The Clippers had thirty assists and fifteen steals tonight. It's
just the fifth time in the last ten years that the Clippers have had at
least thirty assists and fifteen steel in a single game. So you can downplay
it, you can try diminish it because it was against San Antonio and they're
three and eleven now, But the Clippers absolutely did what they had to do
to get starter's rest, to get ready a day off and then right back
at it against the Spurs on Wednesday. Coming up, we'll hear from Daniel
Tys post game. But joining the show now is Will Updyke from Clips and
Dip. As we already had a mention of the podcast from a caller earlier,
Will, well, how are you doing? Thanks for doing a little
Clips and double Dip tonight here on Clippers Talk. Absolutely, you know,
I'm I'm contractually obliged to be here after any win, so I'm here.
I am I'm excited. I think that we got a lot more of these
coming up. It's weird how you just like lock Charles in a closet whenever
the Clippers win and he's supposed to come on like it's kind of aggressive,
but you know what it fits for this Clippers team with that aggressive defense tonight,
holding San Antonio to just ninety nine points a team that was fourth and
pace, and they shot just four seven from the outside, only attempted fourteen
free throws. But I mentioned Daniel Tice coming in. How have you felt
about him through two games? Now? Will and the energy that he likes
to bring out there. I thought that he looked a lot better tonight.
I kind of had some questions in that first game if maybe he was struggling
to sort of get back into game shape. I know that he was unhappy
with his playing time there in Indiana, and it just seemed like at times
he was a little winded. Certainly looked a lot more effectives to night,
you know, against Albeit, I feel like overall, this is my thing
overall is that this was a great tune up game. But sorry, back
to Tys. I mean, I don't know what more you could want from
the guy? Uh nineteen and seven h hit the three pointer. So he's
shooting one hundred percent from three as a Clipper. I don't really know what
more what more to say, what like, it's assuming that at bare minimum,
right, he can just be a stop gap that is a portion of
what Mason Plumley provided while he recovers from that injury. I mean, I
think it's pretty darn good. Yeah, why not? Where were you going
there with just as being more of a tune up game. Well, I
feel like, you know, this is the first blowout in the Harden era.
This was just an opportunity I feel like for the Clippers to I don't
like playing down the competition, but a team that's in a little bit worse
rate than some of the teams they faced. And I know you can feel,
however you want to feel about some of those losses in the sixth game,
losing streak that certainly spare, But I feel like this was the kind
of game that they needed to play at their speed, be able to sort
of play around with things, get everybody involved where the stakes are a little
bit lower, but we can kind of see things start to build. And
I thought that that I thought that what we've seen from the last game to
now we have seen a little bit more of that, which was very concerning
through the losing streak. But a game like this on the road, I
still do have to you know, you still do have to walk into somebody
else's arena and come out with a win. I thought this was just kind
of the perfect setting for this thing to marinate a little bit more. What
did you make us some of the lineups out there? Coach lou talked about
it post game. He liked Paul George with a lot of guys there in
the second unit, and he opened things up in that fourth quarter, next
to Tye, next to PJ. Tucker, next to russ In Norn Powell.
They were playing small, but you could say they were also playing big
with their play out there. And Paul George was just spectacular down the stretch.
I mean, Paul George is incredible. He's the kind of player who
can lift any sort of lineup. And you know, you've talked about it
since early in this season. I really do think a lot of success is
gonna come in how we're able to effectively manage both superstars of two to one
three, And I think that's one of those issues of the second unit is
even with one of them, like even with Paul George with if there's like
three non shooters out there, it's very difficult. But they're going to find
ways to sort of mitigate that even if they do end up having to continue
to play a PJ. Tucker like fifteen plus minutes. I really liked not
only the use of the lineups, but I thought the shot distribution was really
good as well. You got the guys getting those attempts that they need to
both stay in rhythm and I mean ideally your most efficient scorers are going to
continue to put points on the board. So I thought that that was reassuring
for sure, especially when a shout out my dude, Norm Powell, he
was my player of the game from the podcast coming in finish with nineteen and
five with two steals. You know, I said, I thought as soon
as Harden came here, it was one of those things that I love the
idea of the spacing, and I feel like he's a guy, maybe even
more so than than than Russ. No discredits to Russ, but who can
make things really really easy for Norm when he's out there and we've heard Norm
say hey Ethan, and he loves the catch and shoot. Loves the catch
and shoot, does not feel that's below him, does not need to necessarily
have the ball in his hands to be scoring in terms of creating for himself.
So I think that that is going to pay dividend. I loved him
in the closing lineup and in stints in the last game, and I love
the continuation here. Those those twelve field goal attempts. That's like, you
know, right where I want to be. I think he needs to be
in that twelve to fifteen range every game. With how efficient he is as
a scorer. You bring up the catch and shoot threes from norm He's going
into this one, he was shooting fifty one percent in those situations. Kawhi
Leonard at fifty five percent coming into this game, and he started zero for
three, but then knocked down a couple. He got a big dunk in
the second quarter, then a steal on Johnson after a board and dunked it
just kind of took it away and nobody saw dunk was disrespectful. I loved
it. I loved the crowd booing so loud at Kawhi as soon as that
moment happened. He also in the third quarter, had a pump fake on
Wemby where he went by him and he ended up with a no look to
Zoo for a dunk in that quarter two. That was just beautiful from Kawhi
Leonard. The game just looked so easy for him, and it wasn't,
you know, his most efficient night. I guess, twenty one points on
seventeen shots. But I like the fact that most shots so far. I
believe he's gotten up now next to James Harden. Seventeen something to build on
because he started, oh for three and then I think he got to seven
shots in the first quarter. Anyways, he seems a little bit more aggressive
right now. Yeah, yeah, absolutely, and I think that's gonna come.
I you know, that was my one uh I guess that was like
sort of my one negative of the win over the Rockets. Was just I
felt that he was being way too deferential, and you know, it's understandable,
you're not trying to ruffle feathers or whatever. But I think that he's
definitely coming more into his own with the supporting cast. You know, he's
been he's been really solid all he's and safe for like one game. But
I think, you know that is continuing to sort of coalesce with these players
being able to play off of one another, and I'm excited to see how
that looks when we can have everybody sort of running at full steam, but
we can still get just a little bit more field goal attempts, which will
come with offensive rebounding and a little bit more pace. But if we could
get both Kawhi and Paul George two closer to them, you know that like
twenty field goal attempts per game sort of number and still keep everybody clicking,
That's when I think this team offensively is going to look really, really dangerous.
Now, well, I'm not asking for one of your epic rants,
but I'm gonna throw some red meat out there because we've kind of been on
the wave the same wavelength when it comes to Russell Westbrook and James Harden and
what needed to happen here, And with Russ off the bench, they're two
and zero so far, James Harden looks more comfortable. I just don't understand
how people can't see the vision of you know, the guy who led the
league and assists last season has done it multiple times, and yet some people
are saying he's just a dribbler, He's just an isolation player. He ends
up with ten assist to zero turnovers tonight. This is the formula. I
don't understand why there's this divide in some areas of Clipper Nation and why you
guys can't see the vision of James Harden being the third option and that not
just raising their floor in the regular season, but you think about that,
if it raises your floor and you're a higher seed, then it raises your
ceiling overall. And him being a third option in a playoff series, I
love that. Yeah. No, I mean, look, I understand the
complaints on Harden's game, but my thing is, if you're just an isolation
store score, if you're just a dribbler, how are you leaving the league
in assists? Those two things don't really make sense. Look, he's just
a three level score in a way that Russ isn't. And this isn't to
discredit Russ. I think that Russ can be phenomenal off the bench. I
think there might be situations where Harden maybe doesn't have it going and we see
Russ in the closing lineup. I'm not opposed to that. We know what
he can look like. Next to those two stars. But for right now,
it just makes the most sense to use the guy that you gave up
a first round pick for in the starting lineup. And I know that,
like I don't believe necessarily in the sunken cost fallacy, but I mean,
you have to at least try if you're willing to give up that much,
especially if you look at a guy like Nick Patoombs flourishing in Philadelphia, it
would be foolish to not at least give a try to both James Harden in
the starting line up and the guy that we said was going to be in
the starting lineup from the beginning in parents Man. So I think it was
the right way to go. And that's not a discredit on Russ. I
just feel like there's this weird thing going on right now in the fan base
and both Clippers fans and specifically Russ fans, where this is like a personal
like this is a personal assault or an attack, and it's just not Things
weren't working. They don't work with those two together. That was exposed in
the playoffs when they both played together in Houston. They were much younger in
Oklahoma City. So I'm not going to count that against them, but it's
working right now. And I just don't know why the Clippers first win streak
in a while, why there's any need to question that. If it ain't
broke, don't fix it. Yeah, and it's not that we don't like
Russ, but not at all. We have to be honest about James Harden
is the better player. He's the better playmaker, he's the much better shooter.
As you mentioned in a three level scorer. He does things at a
higher level than any point guard they've had since CP three. And that's the
truth. And Russell Westbrook can still thrive in the second unit, and I
thought we saw some of that tonight. He was much better. He had
six assists, two zero turnovers. He was a plus seven ten points,
four of eleven shooting. I didn't like some of the jump shots, but
he started to get to the basket afterwards, was finding guys and making life
easier for Daniel Tice. I don't know how many assists of his, I
want to say three of them. At least half of them were to Tye.
But it's James freaking Harden. What are we talking about here? Like,
it's not about who you like it's about the Clippers winning ball games.
It's about the team. It shouldn't be I'm team Russ or I'm team James
Harden, your team Clippers. It's about doing what's best for them well,
and it's not. I mean, look, it's not even about skill set,
although James Harden at this point in both of their career is the more
talented player in my view, it's about fit, and clearly he's the better
fit if you're looking at the long game, if you're looking at the long
view of what this team could be and optimizing them with their most dangerous lineups
on both ends of the flour. That's just hardened. That's hardened for me.
Well, to me, it's the skill set makes him a better fit.
But I got what you're saying though. Also he's at Will Updyke at
Will Up d y k e on X of course does the greatest podcast.
That's at least some people say that every once in a while they walk up
at Kryptos. Yeah, once in a while. It's called Clips and Dip.
Check it out and Clippers Pod at Clippers podcast on YouTube. We'll have
a new one for you. What tomorrow will Yeah, I think so Okay,
let's do it. Thanks for doing this tonight here on Clippers Stock,
my friend. Absolutely after any win, you know I'm here, baby front
running will just kidd Coming up next, you'll hear from Daniel Tis postgame.
Clippers win by twenty five over the Spurs and San Antonio. Let's not divide
the fan base house divided. Can't have it. Root for James Harden.
If you didn't like them before and you're still on the fence, I don't
know what you've been watching the last two games. You gotta think ahead,
you gotta look long term, big picture here, Clippers win once twenty four
to ninety nine and sent Antonio more clipperstock next year. On M five to
seventy LS Sports, LA Clippers basketball is on the two one three era continues.
You're listening to the the LA Clippers on the LA Clippers Audio network.
You can either get on the James vandwagon now with Harden with the Clippers,
or you can be late to the party. That's what's gonna be. Doesn't
mean they're gonna win the championship, but this is the right way to optimize
lineups as Harden being the main guy with the starters I'm Adam Osland after they
win one twenty four to ninety nine in San Antonio, Clippers over the Spurs.
They make it too straight with their new starting lineup with Terrence Man in
for Russell Westbrook, and I thought Russ played well in his twenty five minutes
off the bench. Clippers pulled away thanks to Paul George in the fourth quarter,
going six of seven with fourteen points, but also Daniel Tice he finished
with nineteen points an impressed Clipper nation. I think tonight he got jammed on
a couple times on Friday Night tonight, and he got his payback with a
couple of dunks himself. And in fact, he had six of his nineteen
in the fourth quarter. Here he was postgame on Valley Sports, Daniel Tice
with Patrick O'Neill. Thanks very much. Yeah here with Daniel Tye. I
don't speak German very well, so I'll do this in English. Great game,
just your second game with the Clippers nineteen and seven. Why were you
so comfortable out here tonight? I'm on still learning off all those guys in
the pick and roll with James. He found me early in the pockets when
they trapped him. Well, It's just like hunting the rhythm, especially for
me too. Off the not playing his many games, just getting in John
run the system, defensive, the offensive. You're just day by day.
What's it like playing with these point guards and James Harten and Russell Westbrook finding
you and you're working so well off of them as well. There's so much
fun. I mean, playing with for a future Hall of Famers on the
same team. And then obviously when he makes it next thing even more fun.
Everybody who knows me, I don't care about the shots and the points.
I set screens and get those guys open. Most of the time.
They get so much attention that they make the right play every time. So
I think it's just like I said, it's gonna be fun, especially on
the defensive end. The last two games they scored I think Houston had one
hundred today ninety nine. I think that's what we can bid on. As
far as you are concerned, you join this team, the Clippers acquire you,
they need your size, right, how are you settling in? What's
it like just personally joining this team. I do whatever the team meets me
to do, like really, like especially on the defense event, just being
an anchor, playing on pick and roll defense, rebounding, getting steps and
run and like I said, on offense, just set screens to get those
guys open. Well, even hit a three that's in your game too.
One for one nice shot, Thank you very much. Knock you shame Daniel
Size post game after he finished with nineteen points, seven boards, a couple
of assists, just one turn over. Kind of the theme tonight, Clippers
just with seven as a team. But yeah, doing the little work.
He's great at setting screens. And there are certain guys. There are certain
players that bring that energy and hard hat and lunch pale to the game and
they enjoy doing the dirty work. Daniel Tice is one of them. Didn't
care that he got posterized twice last game. He's gonna continue to try to
block shots at the rim and he's gonna hang out there on offense. Got
to tip in off a Kawhi. Miss Russ found him a couple of times.
Close proximity passes these type of guys, and I know he has something
to prove after only playing i want to say, eight games last couple of
seasons with the Indiana Pacers and them not playing him. So Chip on his
shoulder to add in to a guy who just plays a physical game. He's
been like this forever. I really liked him with the Boston Celtics. He
was starting for them for a long time, and that was a team that
had playoff success, got to the conference finals. Tice is nice Vanilla Tice.
Nice game from him, nineteen his clippers high. Before we get out
of here tonight, I do want to bring in our producer Katie Newton for
a little Katie's Casual Corner segment, something like that, I think so not
something like that. That is it? I mean, sometimes it changes,
sometimes it doesn't change. Nothing changes, right, It's all the same always
forever. Time is a flat circle? Does time exist? Is this even
real? Anyway? H you got a question for me today about the h
yes, and you wouldn't answer it earlier when I thought of it. Okay,
I'm sure you had to divulge that. No, I did. This
is the game. I think. Listen, guys, I think of the
questions during the games, and sometimes I ask Adam and sometimes he'll answer,
and sometimes he's like, no, all right. So how come some newly
signed players can start right away like day of and others can't. Some players
are better and more needed than others. Some are technically signed yet they haven't
gone through their physical hardened. They were what was the term they used,
reconditioning because he hadn't played a game yet this season, didn't have a preseason,
so they want a runway, a ramp up process because it's just difficult.
There's no way to replicate in game reps in an NBA game. But
he just wasn't quite there yet even at practice. It took some time,
and you can see the timing and rhythm. Last three games now has looked
much better from him. He's looking more and more like James Harden who had
ten assistants Joe turnovers. It's a good question, though, Katie, I
like it. Maybe I should have answered it earlier. I think he was
googling me what HI anyway? Time to go googling the answer? Like I
didn't know that? Ask Jeeves all right before we get out of here tonight.
I do want to thank the Clippers organization. No Eagle, Brian Seaman,
Ralph Lawler, Carlo Jimenez on the call, big brother, Jake Warner,
a head engineer at the crypt Kay you Newton a producer, the callers,
the listeners, haters, trolls, don't care. Get behind James Harden
is the starter. Get on board. Now you look a lot smarter In
the end, I'm Adam Amson. Will talk to you at four on Wednesday.
They're still in San Antonio and they're still taking on Victor Women Yam and
the Spurs talk to you then, So why was doing his thing? All
they want to do is win in La. I win. I thought they
gave everything they had. I'm very proud of them. This has been Clippers
Talk, the official postgame reaction of the LA Clippers. God bless Paul George.
