00:00:01.439 --> 00:00:06.879
Time for a postgame look. It's
your La Clippers. This is Clippers Locker

2
00:00:06.960 --> 00:00:10.320
Road, brought to you by Cedars
Sinai, the official health partner of the

3
00:00:10.439 --> 00:00:15.320
La Clippers, and by Patschonga,
official travel casino of the LA Clippers.

4
00:00:15.599 --> 00:00:19.879
Breaking down today's action with the pre
and post game voice. If you're La

5
00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:24.679
Clippers, They're locking in every game, every night, Adam Oslan, the

6
00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:29.280
Clippers dominate a healthy Phoenix Suns team
in the second half and run away with

7
00:00:29.359 --> 00:00:34.600
this one. One thirty eight to
one eleven is your final. Clippers improved

8
00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:38.840
to twenty three to thirteen on the
season. They have won fifteen of their

9
00:00:38.920 --> 00:00:43.359
last eighteen since December. First,
welcome into your postgame show. I'm Adam

10
00:00:43.359 --> 00:00:47.079
Oslin. Coming up. We got
second half highlights, your postgame box score,

11
00:00:47.159 --> 00:00:50.240
and Clippers Talk on a M five
seventy LA Sports. But first,

12
00:00:50.280 --> 00:00:54.880
back to your radio voice of the
Clippers in Carlo Jimenez. This is exactly

13
00:00:54.920 --> 00:00:58.520
what we were looking for in a
response after what happened last night against the

14
00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:02.039
Lakers, and the Clippers do this
on the second night of a back to

15
00:01:02.159 --> 00:01:06.599
back, no less complete domination down
the stretch, and it was defense leading

16
00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:10.280
to offense out there, Carlos,
Yeah, it was fantastic. Tylu managed

17
00:01:10.319 --> 00:01:12.760
the minutes perfectly. I mean,
nobody played more than thirty two minutes,

18
00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:17.400
Leonard with thirty two, and the
Clippers were able to turn so many Phoenix

19
00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:21.480
turnovers into points and man, Adam, is it fun to win ball games?

20
00:01:21.799 --> 00:01:25.680
I think the epitome of this game
is when Harton finally lobs to Dice

21
00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:30.159
wide open on the left block and
then smiles at him and refuses to try

22
00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:33.439
to give him a high five.
Because the Clippers are just having so much

23
00:01:33.480 --> 00:01:37.879
fun out there there. Russell Westbrook's
chirping with guys in the middle of the

24
00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:41.760
game at the free throw line.
He's playing with big energy. The Clippers

25
00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:44.519
are having a lot of fun.
Tyler says that comes from winning, and

26
00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:48.719
they are sure winning a lot big
bounce back performance. You get a struggling

27
00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:51.840
Raptors team in here on Wednesday,
then you go for a tough road trip.

28
00:01:51.879 --> 00:01:53.799
But this was big, right,
because you don't want one bad loss

29
00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:57.959
to turn into two bad losses,
and the Clippers made sure that didn't happen.

30
00:01:57.040 --> 00:02:01.719
The Clippers had six turnovers in the
fourth quarter alone, and Kawhi Leonard

31
00:02:01.719 --> 00:02:07.280
in that second half. He started
on Kevin Durant then and he really kept

32
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:09.360
the Phoenix Suns from getting into their
offense. And it just felt like even

33
00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:14.960
though he only had seventeen eight of
fifteen shooting over fifty percent and that big

34
00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:17.319
turnaround fade away over the double team
in the fourth quarter, it's what he

35
00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:21.719
did defensively in this game that really
set the tone in the second half and

36
00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:23.280
let the Clippers run away with this
one. One hundred percent. Adam,

37
00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:27.879
You're so right. Kawhi is fifth
in the NBA and steals per game,

38
00:02:27.879 --> 00:02:34.120
and he had a season high five
tonight the Klaw averaging almost six contest for

39
00:02:34.240 --> 00:02:37.400
this Clippers team. One of the
reasons he's one of the best defensive players

40
00:02:37.719 --> 00:02:39.800
in the NBA, and that's been
a ratcheted up at him. Now the

41
00:02:39.879 --> 00:02:46.919
last four to five games, Leonard's
got fifteen steals and seven blocks. So

42
00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:50.319
not only is it taking the basketball
away, but it's the defense at the

43
00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:53.840
rim. On the other end,
He's leading the Clippers in both those categories

44
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:57.680
in the last five games. Just
continues to affect the games in other ways

45
00:02:57.719 --> 00:03:00.280
when it times early on it looked
like the offense was frustrating him, that

46
00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:05.000
doesn't deter his effort on the defensive
end. Clippers also started to make them

47
00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:08.599
move in that second quarter when James
Harden started to assert himself offensively. He

48
00:03:08.639 --> 00:03:13.719
had fifteen points in that second quarter
alone, and once again the bearded wonder

49
00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:17.840
and complete control this offense. He
was so good at operating in the front

50
00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:22.319
court. I love the way he
pushed the basketball. Really feels like,

51
00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:24.400
you know, a couple of years
ago, James dealt with that hamstring injury

52
00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:28.199
in Brooklyn, where a lot of
people said he had lost his first step,

53
00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:30.680
he wasn't the same player getting in
the rim. Well, sure doesn't

54
00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:34.639
look like that at all with the
way he pushes in transition. At times,

55
00:03:34.639 --> 00:03:38.840
it seems like he's frustrated his teammates
aren't running with him on the offensive

56
00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:42.280
end, aren't running as fast as
him into the front court. And I

57
00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:45.319
think that's a big reason why he's
able to get tennis sists, beat three

58
00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:49.000
rebounds away from a double double,
and shoot six for eight from the field

59
00:03:49.240 --> 00:03:53.520
to get to nineteen points in a
lean matter. He was excellent at finding

60
00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:58.759
his teammates and this was a big
time confidence booster and a big time performance

61
00:03:58.759 --> 00:04:01.759
from the Clippers just execute on both
ends. Clippers with nine of their fourteen

62
00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:04.680
fast break points in the second half, and it felt like a lot more

63
00:04:04.759 --> 00:04:08.840
than that. It felt like more
from PG thirteen, who finished with twenty

64
00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:12.280
five and just thirty one minutes,
and he got them started. You want

65
00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:15.040
to talk about attitude, we did
mention you can't get too much into those

66
00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:19.079
individual battles, but he was going
at Devin Booker in that first quarter with

67
00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:23.560
those ten points, felt like all
of them were on d book And Paul

68
00:04:23.639 --> 00:04:27.000
George was at his most aggressive stage
of the season. Yeah, you'd love

69
00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:30.079
it. Nineteen shots from him to
get to those or nineteen points from him

70
00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:34.959
to excuse me, twenty five points
on nineteen shots back into the back to

71
00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:38.560
back. You know, I'm delusional
a little bit here, but we're making

72
00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:40.959
it through. We're making it through. He was able to get to the

73
00:04:41.079 --> 00:04:43.920
line, and yeah, you don't
want guys just going back and forth,

74
00:04:44.079 --> 00:04:46.000
just being a one on one battle. But when you're scoring, who cares

75
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:50.000
keep going. I'm not worried about
it. And George was getting buckets early,

76
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:53.920
once again setting the town for this
Clippers team, which is what they

77
00:04:54.040 --> 00:04:56.839
need. They need somebody to come
out there and lock them in early,

78
00:04:57.160 --> 00:05:00.160
and he did that. It was
fun to watch you. We'll see he

79
00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:03.439
can continue to do it on Wednesday
against the team from the North End Toronto,

80
00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:06.519
who's will, by the way,
be playing on the back end of

81
00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:10.959
a back to back. I believe
they play the Lakers tomorrow at them,

82
00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:14.600
so the Clipper is all the more
incentive to get one done against the Raptors.

83
00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:18.000
We'll be at the rest advantage and
Aviza Zubos won't let anyone rest in

84
00:05:18.079 --> 00:05:21.439
the paint. Right now, he
is an absolute force, as we like

85
00:05:21.560 --> 00:05:26.759
to say, nineteen points, eight
boards, nine of his nineteen coming in

86
00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:29.879
that third quarter when the Clippers started
to open things up, and they are

87
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:33.279
looking for him more and more out
there. He has established himself as one

88
00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:36.079
of the most important players, not
just defensively now for this team, but

89
00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:40.199
on offense because of the easy buckets
he gets. Yeah, on average,

90
00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:43.240
in the last three games at him, he's missed two shots a game like

91
00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:47.839
These efficiency numbers are unbelievable. He
leads the Western Conference in field goal percentage

92
00:05:47.959 --> 00:05:51.160
and he's just making all the right
plays for this team. We talked about

93
00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:56.120
it earlier this season, but at
parts this season of Vitza Zubots has seemed

94
00:05:56.120 --> 00:06:00.519
like mister Reliable on a team full
of future Hall of famers. He gets

95
00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:04.279
this team buckets, big time rebounds, blocks at the rim every time they

96
00:06:04.439 --> 00:06:08.240
need it. It is just so
much fun to watch him thrive. You've

97
00:06:08.279 --> 00:06:10.480
harped on it from the beginning.
You said it before. The hard and

98
00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:14.680
trade Hardin will unlock another version of
big Zoo, and he has. He's

99
00:06:14.680 --> 00:06:17.800
been an automatic double double since the
Harden Trade. Oh the Clippers with their

100
00:06:17.839 --> 00:06:23.000
embarrassment of riches right now. They
win by twenty seven over the Phoenix Sun's

101
00:06:23.079 --> 00:06:27.879
final score at Crypto one thirty eight
Clippers one eleven Sons. Next time out,

102
00:06:27.920 --> 00:06:31.000
As Carlo mentioned back at home,
taking on the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday,

103
00:06:31.079 --> 00:06:34.279
tip off is at seven thirty.
We'll have your pregame show starting at

104
00:06:34.360 --> 00:06:39.040
six thirty. Big bro, hug
when I show up at Crypto for your

105
00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:42.240
Carlo, great call. As always, we'll see on Wednesday. I can't

106
00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:45.759
see. Can't wait to see you
on Wednesday at them. So the Clippers

107
00:06:45.800 --> 00:06:48.519
can keep the good times going.
Big time win, big time bounce back

108
00:06:48.600 --> 00:06:53.000
performance and guess what you got a
hungry Toronto team coming in. Don't play

109
00:06:53.040 --> 00:06:55.360
with your food, see if they
can get another win. Thought I just

110
00:06:55.399 --> 00:07:00.720
heard no a egle there. Let's
go Clippers win. We have won six

111
00:07:00.920 --> 00:07:04.439
of seven and fifteen of eighteen since
December. First, they blow out the

112
00:07:04.480 --> 00:07:09.199
Phoenix Suns in the second half.
Final score one thirty eight to one eleven

113
00:07:09.240 --> 00:07:13.680
from Crypto coming over next second half
highlights right here on the Los Angeles Clippers

Audio Network, the LA Clippers continue
their hunt for a Lario B. They

115
00:07:18.360 --> 00:07:23.120
still want to get that Lario B. Don't miss a moment all season longed.

116
00:07:23.319 --> 00:07:27.480
This is the LA Clippers Audio Network. They want to bring a banner

123
00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:05.319
a Clipper end up shooting after shooting
under forty percent against the Lakers yesterday,

124
00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:13.120
they were over sixty percent from the
field, at sixty two point four from

125
00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:18.680
the outside fifteen of twenty nine sons
weren't fifty percent from the field, just

126
00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:22.839
ten to thirty from distance, and
after KD had twenty in the first half,

127
00:08:22.040 --> 00:08:26.959
just three points in the third quarter, seven to more, most of

128
00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:33.159
them inconsequential in the fourth. Devin
Booker eight of fourteen. Okay, it's

129
00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:37.120
efficient, but just twenty points.
Didn't take many shots. Paul George again

130
00:08:39.320 --> 00:08:43.120
got the individual battle victory over his
rival. He was ten of nineteen,

131
00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:46.600
with ten of his twenty five in
the first quarter and was just going at

132
00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:54.720
d book relentlessly. Can't guard him. James Harden didn't have a point in

133
00:08:54.759 --> 00:08:58.039
the first quarter, dropped fifteen in
the second, would knock down a long

134
00:08:58.159 --> 00:09:01.840
three point or late on in the
second half of a nice pass from Daniel

135
00:09:01.919 --> 00:09:07.679
Tye. Those two working on some
miscommunication. He eventually found Daniel Tys underneath

136
00:09:07.720 --> 00:09:09.960
the basket for an easy one in
the fourth before they were taken out of

137
00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:13.039
the ball game. But nineteen ten
assists as well for James Harden's six of

138
00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:18.559
eight shooting. He took eight shots. Y'all think he's not sacrificing. He's

139
00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:22.080
been taking about eleven shots per game
as a Clipper. Just getting everybody else

140
00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:26.399
involved and keeping this thing going.
A well oiled machine. Is what the

141
00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:28.639
Clippers offense look like tonight. What
a response, what a bounce back.

142
00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:33.799
They out remounted the Suns forty four
to twenty five. Eleven of five we

143
00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:37.639
came to offensive rebounds. Norman Powell, I think he was perfect in the

144
00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:43.000
fourth quarter, finished with fourteen points, two of three, shooting four of

145
00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:48.399
six from the field. Just an
unbelievable run that he's been on, really

146
00:09:48.519 --> 00:09:52.000
since the first two weeks of the
season. Saw a little bit of the

147
00:09:52.039 --> 00:09:54.720
Powell Rangers out there. They were
a plus one in about a minute before

148
00:09:54.799 --> 00:09:58.399
Kawhi was taken out of the game
in the first half. Terrence Man,

149
00:10:00.279 --> 00:10:03.720
I told you enough to give up
on him when he was going through his

150
00:10:03.759 --> 00:10:07.080
shooting struggles and was it nineteen percent
from the outside. I tried to tell

151
00:10:07.120 --> 00:10:09.039
you you can't take him out of

189
00:13:07.639 --> 00:13:11.919
home for the Clippers. They were
in attack mode. Adam Osley Clippers bounce

190
00:13:13.000 --> 00:13:16.879
back in styles. They bounced the
Phoenix Suns out of Crypto, winning by

191
00:13:16.960 --> 00:13:22.600
twenty seven with their final score one
thirty eight one eleven. Clippers make it

192
00:13:22.759 --> 00:13:26.399
fifteen of their last eighteen games.
They have won twenty of their last twenty

193
00:13:26.440 --> 00:13:31.000
six with the new starting lineup and
six of their last seven as they win

194
00:13:31.360 --> 00:13:35.440
in impressive fashion, taking the Suns
down in that second half and running away

195
00:13:35.480 --> 00:13:39.759
with a ball game where they are
led by as many as thirty. Welcome

196
00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:43.639
into clipperstock. I'm out a Moslin
eight six six ninety eight seven two five

197
00:13:43.759 --> 00:13:48.080
seventy eight six six nine eight seven
two five seventy is the phone number we'll

198
00:13:48.120 --> 00:13:52.159
have Will updike on from Clips and
Dip also postgame audio from coach Lou and

199
00:13:52.279 --> 00:13:58.919
the players thought in that second half, the biggest difference to me was how

200
00:13:58.000 --> 00:14:03.879
in tune the Clippers were defensively.
They had given up thirty one points in

201
00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:07.320
the first quarter to Phoenix, still
had thirty four of their own. They

202
00:14:07.399 --> 00:14:09.519
give up thirty two points in the
second quarter, still had thirty seven of

203
00:14:09.679 --> 00:14:13.600
their own. Yeah, they would
give no quarter in this one, but

204
00:14:13.720 --> 00:14:18.559
in that third quarter, just twenty
eight points to Phoenix. You'd still like

205
00:14:18.600 --> 00:14:20.679
it lower than that. But they
are a star studded ball club. They

206
00:14:20.759 --> 00:14:26.000
had their Big three tonight. Kevin
Durant played next to Devin Boger, next

207
00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:28.919
to Bradley Beal. It was just
their sixth game together. I want to

208
00:14:28.960 --> 00:14:33.000
say they're now two and four,
although one of those, Bradley Bual,

209
00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:35.919
left early against the New York Knicks. I'm not sure you want to put

210
00:14:35.960 --> 00:14:41.000
a lot into it, but Kawhi
Leonard in that third quarter was guarding Kevin

211
00:14:41.080 --> 00:14:46.120
Durant and they just couldn't get into
their offense, and the Clippers were playing

212
00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:52.360
five guys on a string and Kawhi
had an unbelievable performance defensively in the second

213
00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:58.519
half and in that fourth quarter with
four steals, just complete domination. The

214
00:14:58.559 --> 00:15:01.840
Clippers beat him by seventeen in the
fourth and it wasn't even that close.

215
00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:07.759
They just completely opened the game up
after kd hit a three pointer so bring

216
00:15:07.799 --> 00:15:13.159
it to within seven, and Harden
had a turnover and then a foul on

217
00:15:13.200 --> 00:15:16.600
a mere coffee. Daniel Tye had
a steel leading to a Kawhi miss,

218
00:15:16.720 --> 00:15:22.720
but a Norman Palell emphatic punch put
back got the crowd into it, got

219
00:15:22.720 --> 00:15:26.240
the Clippers off the bench as they
were for most of this game. These

220
00:15:26.360 --> 00:15:30.720
teams don't like each other. If
you didn't know, No, there weren't

221
00:15:30.759 --> 00:15:35.039
five technicals in this one, but
there's animosity between Devin Booker and Paul George

222
00:15:35.600 --> 00:15:41.440
still asking for somebody to photo shot
me them two on the cover of Beef

223
00:15:41.679 --> 00:15:48.320
Volume one. If you listen to
PG on podcast P earlier today, he

224
00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:52.000
was discussing the game five days ago
in Phoenix, where he dropped thirty three

225
00:15:54.039 --> 00:16:00.559
and got the best of Devin Booker
and said he was standing on bisness.

226
00:16:00.519 --> 00:16:04.519
He did so again tonight. Ten
early points in the first quarter, and

227
00:16:04.600 --> 00:16:08.600
I think all of his buckets early
were on Booker. He just can't guard

228
00:16:08.679 --> 00:16:12.519
him, He's not big enough.
And Paul George just relishes that competition.

229
00:16:14.799 --> 00:16:18.639
He was looking for him, matchup, hunting, targeting him, just going

230
00:16:18.720 --> 00:16:22.559
over the top, easy look jumpers. I think it was four six verse

231
00:16:22.600 --> 00:16:27.440
ten points in the first quarter.
But in going back to that fourth Kawhi

232
00:16:27.600 --> 00:16:33.320
then gets a jumper on kd a
little fallaway from about fifteen feet out to

233
00:16:33.320 --> 00:16:37.679
put him up by nine. Then
he gets a steal, he's fouled.

234
00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:40.639
Then there was a hard and three
I think off a nice pass from Tye.

235
00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:44.879
Kawhi misses a three pointer. The
Clippers are up by thirteen, and

236
00:16:45.080 --> 00:16:49.240
Daniel Tice has an incredible put back
dunk. In fact, zach Alcaldy,

237
00:16:49.360 --> 00:16:55.960
do we have that call from Carlo
Jimenez. This was one of the signature

238
00:16:56.000 --> 00:17:00.320
highlights of this ball game. Here
in the fourth quarter with in I guess

239
00:17:00.480 --> 00:17:04.359
a roundabout pass to Daniel Tyes hands
of Booker is a hand grenade with three

240
00:17:04.400 --> 00:17:07.519
to shoot. Leonard picks his pocket
man takes it away. Here come the

241
00:17:07.559 --> 00:17:11.440
Clippers part of lead. The break
behind the back handle finds Leonard right wing

242
00:17:11.559 --> 00:17:19.440
three off the front of the ram, pace foot back them, elevation sensation

243
00:17:21.200 --> 00:17:29.720
roup, Daniel Tice timeout suns incredible, Clippers are up by fifteen. Out

244
00:17:29.799 --> 00:17:33.400
of the timeout, Daniel Tye with
a steal, Norman pal three pointer,

245
00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:38.079
then Kawhi Leonard a spinning fade away
on the near side, short corner over

246
00:17:38.279 --> 00:17:44.680
two defenders. Just nasty MJ ninety
six type stuff. And in a game

247
00:17:44.720 --> 00:17:48.680
where he only needed seventeen I thought
he controlled it in the second half timely

248
00:17:48.799 --> 00:17:52.759
buckets, but the four steals in
the fourth quarter there would be another Daniel

249
00:17:52.759 --> 00:17:55.880
Tye steal. Some of these were
deflections that ended up being in the hands

250
00:17:55.880 --> 00:17:57.960
of Kawhi, so he got credit
for the steel technically in the box score,

251
00:17:59.599 --> 00:18:03.359
but it was, as Daniel Tye
says, who was playing free safety

252
00:18:03.440 --> 00:18:07.519
back there at times. And then
Mere Coffee had a reverse layup on KD.

253
00:18:08.319 --> 00:18:12.559
You got some buckets late. A
PG bucket made it a nineteen to

254
00:18:12.759 --> 00:18:17.920
two run. The Clippers were up
by thirty. They pulled the starters with

255
00:18:17.960 --> 00:18:19.680
about five and a half minutes left. That was all she wrote, and

256
00:18:19.759 --> 00:18:22.920
the Clippers go on to win one
thirty eight to one to eleven over the

257
00:18:23.039 --> 00:18:29.440
Phoenix Sons. Now I know where
Phoenix is at right now. There were

258
00:18:29.440 --> 00:18:32.599
a team trying to build up continuity. I mentioned they're big three have only

259
00:18:32.680 --> 00:18:36.720
played six games together. For them, It's like where the Clippers were at

260
00:18:37.680 --> 00:18:44.920
last season. Couldn't keep guys healthy, couldn't gel, couldn't mesh, couldn't

261
00:18:44.960 --> 00:18:49.319
find a rhythm together. Clippers have
had more availability, a much better rhythm

262
00:18:49.400 --> 00:18:55.039
out there, and tonight a little
in game load management. Nobody played more

263
00:18:55.039 --> 00:18:59.359
than thirty two minutes. Kawhi hit
thirty two, Paul George thirty one,

264
00:18:59.559 --> 00:19:03.920
Big twenty eight, James Harden thirty
Big Zoo, Big Zoo. I'm telling

265
00:19:04.000 --> 00:19:08.880
you he's a made man. His
nine points of his nineteen in the third

266
00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:12.400
quarter, they just kept looking for
him. Russ found him a couple of

267
00:19:12.440 --> 00:19:17.039
times, but he started things off. He had the first four points in

268
00:19:17.079 --> 00:19:22.200
the ballgame, little hook shot,
then a throwdown dunk off of a pass

269
00:19:22.200 --> 00:19:26.839
from Russ in the first quarter with
the right hand, another lob to him,

270
00:19:26.160 --> 00:19:30.880
another hook shot, and then a
bucket out of a timeout in a

271
00:19:30.960 --> 00:19:34.480
ten point game in the third thought. He helped the Clippers stay pedaled to

272
00:19:34.519 --> 00:19:37.359
the medal. Paul George by the
way, getting that foul call on Devin

273
00:19:37.400 --> 00:19:41.680
Booker at the buzzer of the third
quarter, getting him to the line for

274
00:19:41.759 --> 00:19:45.680
a couple that was big, keeping
the double digit lead heading into the fourth.

275
00:19:45.359 --> 00:19:49.279
The aggressiveness from PG. Thirteen.
I want every team to wear purple

276
00:19:49.359 --> 00:19:52.839
and orange, because when he sees
the Sun's colors, it's like seeing red,

277
00:19:55.759 --> 00:20:02.680
Steve Zisu in life aquatic, just
seeing red out there, and he

278
00:20:02.880 --> 00:20:07.680
sunk Devin Booker and the Suns with
his attitude, with the mentality to start

279
00:20:07.759 --> 00:20:11.880
the game. A three over Booker
first, then a mid range shot over

280
00:20:12.000 --> 00:20:18.599
Bill, another bucket over Booker,
and then he returned in the second quarter,

281
00:20:18.640 --> 00:20:25.279
immediately hit one, a three in
the second off a zoo block got

282
00:20:25.359 --> 00:20:30.519
in transition. The Clippers had twenty
two points off turnovers in the second half,

283
00:20:32.039 --> 00:20:34.720
and they only ended up with twelve
turnovers. What number did I want

284
00:20:34.759 --> 00:20:40.119
to see? Twelve or less?
Suns only had fourteen. It's not a

285
00:20:40.240 --> 00:20:45.359
huge number, but the Clippers were
capitalizing on all of them, taking advantage

286
00:20:45.839 --> 00:20:49.079
getting in transition. They only had
fourteen fast break points, the nine of

287
00:20:49.160 --> 00:20:52.240
them came in the second half.
It felt like a lot more than that,

288
00:20:52.359 --> 00:20:56.960
though it did and you know what
another box score says, the Clippers

289
00:20:56.000 --> 00:21:00.160
had fourteen turnovers leading to twenty points. The Sons had fourteen leading to twenty

290
00:21:00.200 --> 00:21:06.799
four for the Clippers, so they
were still better second chance points after going

291
00:21:06.920 --> 00:21:10.920
I want to say two of twelve
or two of thirteen against the Lakers on

292
00:21:11.000 --> 00:21:15.640
all those extra possessions yesterday with Big
Zoo having ten offensive rebounds, tonight five

293
00:21:15.720 --> 00:21:21.400
of seven in second chance opportunities.
Much better points in the paint sixty two

294
00:21:21.519 --> 00:21:26.039
to forty two advantage Clippers. Huge
number for them inside outside. When you

295
00:21:26.160 --> 00:21:30.720
hit fifteen three pointers but also have
sixty two points in the paint, that's

296
00:21:30.759 --> 00:21:37.240
a lead offense. James Harden just
continues to keep them in rhythm, find

297
00:21:37.319 --> 00:21:41.400
the hot hand, and find a
guy who's been left out for a little

298
00:21:41.440 --> 00:21:45.400
bit so they keep him involved.
He had five assists in the first quarter

299
00:21:45.680 --> 00:21:48.400
in the first five minutes before he
was taken out for us, we didn't

300
00:21:48.440 --> 00:21:52.680
see the big four lineup that has
not been good. They didn't play him

301
00:21:52.759 --> 00:21:57.319
next to Russell Westbrook, next to
two one three. Happy about that thought.

302
00:21:57.319 --> 00:22:03.480
A mere coffee gave him good minutes
in selective defense on KD and book

303
00:22:03.559 --> 00:22:08.359
and went four or five my player
to watch on clips and dip nine points.

304
00:22:08.880 --> 00:22:12.039
Some of them came late a three
point or late inconsequential time. Brandon

305
00:22:12.079 --> 00:22:15.640
Boston knocked down one late. Good
for him. Big Plumb got run late

306
00:22:15.720 --> 00:22:22.319
when you're up thirty, that's how
it works. The Clippers dismantled Phoenix when

307
00:22:22.359 --> 00:22:26.079
they were healthy with all three guys. Both teams were on the second nine

308
00:22:26.119 --> 00:22:30.160
of a back to back, and
the Clippers just looked like a team that

309
00:22:30.359 --> 00:22:34.680
was angry, that wanted their lick
back. As Pat Bev used to say

310
00:22:34.720 --> 00:22:38.799
after losing by three on a three
that rattled in and out by Norman Powell

311
00:22:38.920 --> 00:22:42.440
last night to start things off,
Fabier and Lhabra heights, you're on Clippers

312
00:22:42.440 --> 00:22:47.079
stock with out of Malsen? Was
that up? Avier? Hey? What's

313
00:22:47.160 --> 00:22:49.559
up? Thank you for taking my
call again? Man? The Clippers are

314
00:22:49.599 --> 00:22:56.160
not messing around. I mean they'd
be being by twenty five with their big

315
00:22:56.319 --> 00:23:00.359
three, twenty seven. Don't short
here? Oh there it is two two

316
00:23:00.400 --> 00:23:03.680
more points. I mean, this
is a game. They can see each

317
00:23:03.680 --> 00:23:07.599
other in the playoffs, so they
could. They seem to always see each

318
00:23:07.640 --> 00:23:10.839
other. They saw it to other
last year, they saw the other in

319
00:23:10.920 --> 00:23:14.240
twenty twenty one. Back in oh
six with Elton Brand had that in Clippers

320
00:23:14.279 --> 00:23:18.559
rewand yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah, you know, I just had

321
00:23:18.559 --> 00:23:22.599
a couple of things here. You
said it, or let me first bring

322
00:23:22.720 --> 00:23:26.480
this up with Carlo or the Clipper
announcer. Carlo, he said, all

323
00:23:26.519 --> 00:23:30.920
right, even though they lost to
the Lakers yesterday, you know, the

324
00:23:30.039 --> 00:23:33.480
Lakers need that game one of the
Clippers, but it is what it is.

325
00:23:33.680 --> 00:23:36.680
You know they want, but they
didn't want to lose two in a

326
00:23:36.799 --> 00:23:40.119
row. And they came back today
and you said the one by twenty seven.

327
00:23:40.920 --> 00:23:45.119
But a couple of things are James
Harden he's making Zuebuck an All Star.

328
00:23:45.880 --> 00:23:48.200
I mean, as soon as Hardy
came to the Clippers, I go,

329
00:23:48.359 --> 00:23:51.279
Zuba is gonna benefit and he has. I mean, what was he

330
00:23:51.400 --> 00:23:55.640
to take eight out of nine from
field goals, Zubach, I believe a

331
00:23:56.039 --> 00:24:02.200
right big zoo. Yeah he was. He's eight of nine for his nineteen

332
00:24:02.319 --> 00:24:07.039
points and eight boards in just twenty
eight minutes. I'm telling you, man,

333
00:24:07.440 --> 00:24:11.680
James Hardy's making two buck an All
Star. I mean, I don't

334
00:24:11.680 --> 00:24:15.599
know if he's gonna get the All
Star nod, but he's starring in his

335
00:24:15.920 --> 00:24:18.759
role, and he is one of
the most vital players and always has been

336
00:24:18.799 --> 00:24:22.160
with his defense for this team.
He's an elite rim protector. A lot

337
00:24:22.200 --> 00:24:25.799
of people have gotten on Big Zoo
over the years. Oh, look at

338
00:24:25.839 --> 00:24:27.920
his hands, he drops passes here
and there. He should play bigger,

339
00:24:29.279 --> 00:24:33.920
he should be more like Shack.
They create these unrealistic expectations for him,

340
00:24:33.880 --> 00:24:37.240
and he's always been good. He's
always been solid, and it's a guy

341
00:24:37.319 --> 00:24:44.559
they got for Mike Muskala and Michael
Beasley from the Los Angeles Lakers, Thanks

342
00:24:44.640 --> 00:24:49.400
Magic. And he is a legit
starting center and one of the most important

343
00:24:49.440 --> 00:24:52.839
players on this Clippers team now,
not just because of what he brings defensively.

344
00:24:52.880 --> 00:24:56.400
If you look at the on off
numbers. Without him, they're completely

345
00:24:56.440 --> 00:25:00.880
different team defensively. But now they're
using him and exploiting him offense, especially

346
00:25:00.920 --> 00:25:03.839
against a team that's smaller tonight than
the Phoenix Suns. But I thought you

347
00:25:03.880 --> 00:25:08.640
could make the argument yesterday he all
played Anthony Davis with his twenty and nineteen

348
00:25:08.680 --> 00:25:15.119
performance and ten offensive rebounds. Yeah, no, no doubt. I mean,

349
00:25:15.440 --> 00:25:17.839
I'm just like you said, and
he just said it right there.

350
00:25:18.759 --> 00:25:19.920
I was kind of one of them, like come on. He kept,

351
00:25:19.960 --> 00:25:22.720
you know, like you said,
soft hands and it's not you know,

352
00:25:23.039 --> 00:25:26.599
you want to blood shack, but
but you know, but he's coming on

353
00:25:26.759 --> 00:25:32.319
his own. But here, lasting
here, Adam. I always look at

354
00:25:32.319 --> 00:25:38.240
the plus minus and do you see
that Norman Powell he's always the last two

355
00:25:38.920 --> 00:25:45.559
last months, he's been a plus
twenty every game. I mean last game,

356
00:25:45.640 --> 00:25:48.400
I believe in Phoenix he was a
plus thirty two and he played like

357
00:25:48.480 --> 00:25:55.799
twenty five minutes. I mean,
Norman Powell is just he's just he comes

358
00:25:55.839 --> 00:25:59.920
off the bench and he just like
it up and like I said, he

359
00:26:00.359 --> 00:26:03.319
always a plus. Just check it
out at them every game, Norman.

360
00:26:03.079 --> 00:26:07.400
You think I don't talk enough about
Norman Powell and the Powell Rangers. I've

361
00:26:07.400 --> 00:26:11.279
been talking about Norman. Guys shooting
sixty percent from the field and fourth quarters

362
00:26:11.319 --> 00:26:15.319
and almost sixty percent from three.
He's the best fourth quarter performer I think,

363
00:26:15.640 --> 00:26:21.559
volume wise. Right now he might
be in the league, no doubt,

364
00:26:21.680 --> 00:26:23.559
no doubt, No sure. Are
you listening to okank? Thank you

365
00:26:23.759 --> 00:26:27.240
all right over here. We'll talk
to you on Wednesday. My friend Lenny

366
00:26:27.279 --> 00:26:32.240
and Inglewood, you're on clipper sock
with that. I'm awesome. What's up

367
00:26:32.240 --> 00:26:34.519
about him. Listen this time,
should they take tarrors Man out of the

368
00:26:34.559 --> 00:26:41.960
starting lineup? Lenny, No,
No, come on, yeah yeah yeah.

369
00:26:41.079 --> 00:26:45.079
You think I forgot? You think
I forgot? You know you're right,

370
00:26:45.240 --> 00:26:48.119
You're right. You held in there. Let me tell you something.

371
00:26:48.160 --> 00:26:52.440
What did I tell you after that
last Phoenix game and the LA game?

372
00:26:52.559 --> 00:27:00.599
I said, I did not give
a d if we lose then Baker's game,

373
00:27:00.640 --> 00:27:06.880
they could have, they could have. What do you call we managed

374
00:27:07.000 --> 00:27:11.759
uh uh uh kawhi and PG and
Saturn down because your boy is right,

375
00:27:11.880 --> 00:27:15.200
man, Lakers was on a four
game loser. He was on a five

376
00:27:15.319 --> 00:27:22.160
game win streak. Something was gonna
give. Lakers are still in the in

377
00:27:22.279 --> 00:27:26.400
the hole in terms of their their
I think their attitude because they they put

378
00:27:26.480 --> 00:27:32.039
they went all in for that mid
season championship, which is cool. Nobod

379
00:27:32.079 --> 00:27:34.000
knew what was gonna happen. But
that's not what we're here for. Man.

380
00:27:34.039 --> 00:27:40.160
And in the past we've dominated the
regular season and we've fallen back faded

381
00:27:40.279 --> 00:27:45.799
come the playoffs. Why because of
injuries? Because of injuries? Because of

382
00:27:45.920 --> 00:27:51.000
injuries, yeah, but also do
we didn't have the right dude running the

383
00:27:51.119 --> 00:27:56.720
show at the p point guard spot
That's not the problem this year. Harden

384
00:27:57.000 --> 00:28:00.839
is how Harden is him. That's
him, man, He's him, not

385
00:28:02.000 --> 00:28:04.200
them. And that's what he said
when he when he called it, he

386
00:28:04.279 --> 00:28:08.759
said, I am not a system
player. I am the system. He

387
00:28:10.240 --> 00:28:12.680
when he said that, I was
like, now that's a quote because he

388
00:28:12.799 --> 00:28:17.400
spot on. Man, let me
tell you something. I don't care what

389
00:28:17.519 --> 00:28:21.559
it takes for PG. I hope
we find somebody on every team he can't

390
00:28:21.640 --> 00:28:25.759
stand and whoever holds them, because
that's what it takes. Man. Like

391
00:28:25.839 --> 00:28:30.400
they said, Jordan, you just
have to manufacture arms on court, beef

392
00:28:30.480 --> 00:28:41.599
and hay just to get off exactly
exactly, that's exactly what he needs to

393
00:28:41.640 --> 00:28:47.519
bring. Man, I can only
imagine where we would be if we had

394
00:28:47.680 --> 00:28:51.480
hardened in August. We'd be at
we'd be at the top top of the

395
00:28:51.559 --> 00:28:53.880
food chain. Right now, Man, let me tell you something. It's

396
00:28:53.960 --> 00:29:00.359
only Denver and Boston and right now. The only thing is if we get

397
00:29:00.400 --> 00:29:03.920
to that point, which I believe
we will, we'll be playing the best

398
00:29:04.799 --> 00:29:08.079
Boston team in the last five years. They gonna have to put it all

399
00:29:08.160 --> 00:29:15.720
but that day Kawhi put down.
Today, Man, get out of Dodge.

400
00:29:15.839 --> 00:29:22.480
What a marker in terms of the
setting, the tone, and Westbrook,

401
00:29:22.519 --> 00:29:26.880
Binen and all these kids. It's
just man, there must see TV.

402
00:29:26.039 --> 00:29:30.680
Man. I don't care what you
your opinion of the Clippers was in

403
00:29:30.759 --> 00:29:33.039
the past. If you love basketball, no way, you ain't cheering for

404
00:29:33.079 --> 00:29:37.160
these dudes. Man, I don't
care what you say publicly, but you

405
00:29:37.319 --> 00:29:40.759
watching and you checking. You got
to out on that scoreboard. They're doing

406
00:29:40.839 --> 00:29:44.319
it man, And like I said, I still want it all PG.

407
00:29:45.599 --> 00:29:51.079
I'm sorry, uh Norm Powell six
Man of the Year, ILUD Coach of

408
00:29:51.119 --> 00:29:53.799
the Year. I want us to
be in position where we get three players

409
00:29:53.839 --> 00:29:57.400
on that all star squad. I
want it all man, sock shoes and

410
00:29:57.519 --> 00:30:03.680
draws. Let's I hear you with
the Warren g once again, Lenny and

411
00:30:03.880 --> 00:30:11.000
Inglewood will take a quick time out
here. Clippers winners of twenty of twenty

412
00:30:11.079 --> 00:30:18.240
six, fifteen of eighteen, six
of their last seven, and they win

413
00:30:18.319 --> 00:30:22.559
by twenty seven over the Suns one
thirty eight, one to eleven. Your

414
00:30:22.599 --> 00:30:26.160
final more phone calls coming up next
year on clipperstock eight sixty six nine eight

415
00:30:26.200 --> 00:30:30.359
seven two five seventy eight sixty six
nine eight seven two five seventy plus postgame

416
00:30:30.359 --> 00:30:33.720
audio from coach Lou and the players
and Will Updike of Clips and Dipp will

417
00:30:33.759 --> 00:30:37.920
be here too. I medam Oslin
and you're listening to AM five seventy LA

418
00:30:37.000 --> 00:30:42.680
Sports. They want to bring a
banner with them to the into it down

419
00:30:44.079 --> 00:30:51.279
more LA Clippers basketball on the LA
Clippers Audio Network. How many times have

420
00:30:51.400 --> 00:30:55.759
we seen Kawhi Leonard rip it from
KD and go the other way? Last

421
00:30:55.839 --> 00:31:00.279
year in the first round on a
torn meniscus in Game two, took away

422
00:31:00.279 --> 00:31:03.279
from KD then dunked on him on
the other end. As great as KD

423
00:31:03.640 --> 00:31:08.799
is when the playoffs get a little
bit more physical, he's more of a

424
00:31:08.880 --> 00:31:12.359
finesse player. Don't get me wrong. It's one of the greatest players,

425
00:31:12.480 --> 00:31:18.119
maybe the greatest score ever. For
my money, I'll take Kawhi Leonard in

426
00:31:18.119 --> 00:31:23.119
a seven game series each in every
time. Clippers win one thirty eight to

427
00:31:23.279 --> 00:31:27.519
one eleven over the Phoenix Suns and
Kevin Durant and Devin Booker and Bradley Beal.

428
00:31:27.599 --> 00:31:30.599
Clippers bounced back with the victory after
a three point loss last night to

429
00:31:30.759 --> 00:31:38.119
the Los Angeles Lakers. Let's go, Uh Roman, Roman? What's up?

430
00:31:38.279 --> 00:31:41.359
Roman? In LA? You're on
clipperstock Roman, Hey, how you

431
00:31:41.440 --> 00:31:48.160
doing, Adam, Hey, what's
up. I'm glad you didn't call last

432
00:31:48.240 --> 00:31:52.319
night after your Lakers beat the Clippers. I wouldn't do that. I wouldn't

433
00:31:52.359 --> 00:31:55.720
do that just because, but I
will say, you know what, they

434
00:31:56.039 --> 00:32:00.200
had to break something against them,
n season champions, so we had to

435
00:32:00.200 --> 00:32:02.960
break it up a little bit.
But the Clippers are off on fire right

436
00:32:04.039 --> 00:32:07.839
now. Even with that loss.
You know, it's a disappointing loss for

437
00:32:07.920 --> 00:32:12.839
your team, but the bounce back
is worth it. You see everybody's firing

438
00:32:12.920 --> 00:32:17.400
on all cylinders in this bounce back. You know who's the better team?

439
00:32:17.480 --> 00:32:21.599
You know. I'm a Laker fan
and I last night, even watching that

440
00:32:21.759 --> 00:32:25.400
game, the Lakers are not the
better team. The Clippers are the better

441
00:32:25.480 --> 00:32:30.319
team right now, and I think
for the rest of the season. You

442
00:32:30.400 --> 00:32:35.720
see who they're taking out. I
mean Devin Booker, Devin Booker didn't even

443
00:32:35.759 --> 00:32:42.000
look like Devin Booker against Paul Georgia
day, Kawhi Leonard dominating defense, offense,

444
00:32:42.079 --> 00:32:45.880
whatever he chooses to do. James
Harden when they need him the shots

445
00:32:45.920 --> 00:32:49.759
there. I love seeing big Zoo, big Zoo. I mean what,

446
00:32:50.319 --> 00:32:52.720
I'm not gonna lie. I'm gonna
go out and get me a big Zoo

447
00:32:52.839 --> 00:32:57.960
jersey because that dude is putting on
a performance that I have. I haven't

448
00:32:57.960 --> 00:33:00.799
seen in a long time, a
big man in a uniform. You know,

449
00:33:02.599 --> 00:33:07.920
James Harden has completely transformed the way
this team operates, and Kawhi Leonard

450
00:33:07.240 --> 00:33:13.799
just took it to another level.
You know, it's absolutely the best Clipper

451
00:33:13.839 --> 00:33:16.240
team that I've seen in years,
and it's health. It is health.

452
00:33:16.400 --> 00:33:22.480
It's not the roster, it's health
and having that point guard that sets everything

453
00:33:22.559 --> 00:33:28.400
up for everybody else. Talent wise, it's the most stack Clippers team obviously

454
00:33:28.519 --> 00:33:31.960
once they brought in James Harden,
and I think over this run, it's

455
00:33:32.039 --> 00:33:37.640
the best regular season running team history, the seventeenth straight they won in twenty

456
00:33:37.680 --> 00:33:40.920
twelve twenty thirteen. I was digging
into the details. They loaded up on

457
00:33:42.039 --> 00:33:45.319
some really bad teams during that run. It was still special. But if

458
00:33:45.359 --> 00:33:47.480
you're comparing the two, I'll take
this one. With the teams they have

459
00:33:47.519 --> 00:33:52.880
been beating and the way they have
been dismantling and dominating teams like tonight went

460
00:33:52.920 --> 00:33:58.240
in by twenty seven over a Sun's
team with their big three. Absolutely,

461
00:33:58.559 --> 00:34:01.799
I see that, as you know, like I've I've been listening to you

462
00:34:01.920 --> 00:34:05.640
since the beginning of them getting James
Harden. I was, you know,

463
00:34:05.720 --> 00:34:09.559
I've watched him Harden on every other
team, but this team has really just

464
00:34:09.719 --> 00:34:13.320
roll with them. I mean,
you can blame James Harden for whatever other

465
00:34:13.400 --> 00:34:16.840
problems on any other team, but
when you see there's a system that works,

466
00:34:16.920 --> 00:34:22.679
which James Harden is that system,
everybody thrives in that system. And

467
00:34:22.800 --> 00:34:24.719
I think with the caliber, as
long as you guys keep playing the way

468
00:34:24.760 --> 00:34:28.280
you're playing now, you have bench
players coming up that you. I mean,

469
00:34:28.280 --> 00:34:30.760
you got you got Plumbley, you
got Thyce coming off the bench,

470
00:34:30.840 --> 00:34:34.480
you have Coffee coming off the bench. I mean, we don't take Terence

471
00:34:34.559 --> 00:34:37.719
Man out of the front of the
starting lineup just because he has some shooting

472
00:34:37.760 --> 00:34:42.480
woes, because he's gonna come around, you know. I I absolutely think

473
00:34:42.559 --> 00:34:45.239
this is the best Clipper team I've
seen. Maybe don't. I'm just gonna

474
00:34:45.239 --> 00:34:51.239
say maybe. Ever, and all
it took was the one edition of a

475
00:34:51.360 --> 00:34:54.000
point guard that can make everybody better, which he's done on every single team

476
00:34:54.440 --> 00:34:59.639
you know that hasn't blamed him for
as the problem. Roman. I appreciate

477
00:34:59.719 --> 00:35:02.199
the whole call. I was for
the trade back in July, and I

478
00:35:02.280 --> 00:35:05.360
said, then, if you do
it, you got to bring Russ off

479
00:35:05.400 --> 00:35:07.519
the bench after they started on five
trying to make it work with a big

480
00:35:07.599 --> 00:35:13.239
four. They did that. Since
then, they've won twenty of twenty six

481
00:35:13.760 --> 00:35:20.280
ball games. Let's go to those. We got Jose and Downey. Jose,

482
00:35:20.400 --> 00:35:24.400
you're on clippersoft with Autamusen. How
you doing, Adam and I sucked?

483
00:35:24.440 --> 00:35:27.960
Think you the game? Man?
It was a I gotta say,

484
00:35:28.000 --> 00:35:30.079
I don't know a lot of negatives
to say about Man, that was a

485
00:35:30.159 --> 00:35:35.000
really good That was a really good
game to see, to see them what

486
00:35:35.079 --> 00:35:38.239
they did in defense, that's what
actually really has me saying, this is

487
00:35:38.320 --> 00:35:42.119
one of the better wins I've seen
them have. I know the Suns are

488
00:35:42.519 --> 00:35:45.239
not the best team right now,
but just to see them rotate, there's

489
00:35:45.280 --> 00:35:51.199
still three scorers on the other side
that could score profusely when they get going,

490
00:35:51.719 --> 00:35:54.159
and to have them stop that and
never let them really get to a

491
00:35:54.199 --> 00:35:58.519
flow. I mean, Kevin Durantz, Kevin Durant, He's gonna score.

492
00:35:58.960 --> 00:36:05.360
There's not much you can do but
to get to get everybody else playing not

493
00:36:05.559 --> 00:36:07.519
up to their level. I got
to credit that to the defense, Paul

494
00:36:07.599 --> 00:36:14.440
George Kawhi, Terrence Mann, Westbrook, Westbrook going and played fifteen minutes,

495
00:36:14.440 --> 00:36:17.000
and I felt like he was out
there for like thirty minutes. So many

496
00:36:17.079 --> 00:36:22.119
impactful games I think he ended up
I mean impactful plays. I think he

497
00:36:22.199 --> 00:36:25.960
ended up having seven assists. It
is just one day he had doing a

498
00:36:27.199 --> 00:36:30.679
nice assistan of eats the Zubots.
He still ended up a minus three in

499
00:36:30.760 --> 00:36:34.480
his fifteen minutes, so they still
overall lost his minutes. But I thought

500
00:36:35.159 --> 00:36:39.800
he had a bounced back performance himself
tonight after maybe going a little bit too

501
00:36:40.039 --> 00:36:45.199
hard. Zero two one hundred real
quick, I guess the Lakers last night.

502
00:36:46.800 --> 00:36:50.480
You know what he had to play
tonight? Where he did. He

503
00:36:51.039 --> 00:36:52.760
was right before he pulled them to
the three point line, he took off,

504
00:36:53.360 --> 00:36:55.480
you know, like you said,
zero two one hundred. But then

505
00:36:55.960 --> 00:37:00.199
as he saw the defender trying to
take the charge, he actually stopped and

506
00:37:00.239 --> 00:37:02.719
I think gave a pass two.
I think it was fice where he he

507
00:37:02.760 --> 00:37:07.440
either laid it up right under the
basket or had it dunk. I wish

508
00:37:07.519 --> 00:37:08.880
you would do that more often,
man, because nobody can keep up with

509
00:37:09.039 --> 00:37:14.239
him when he takes that first second
step and then I mean just a little

510
00:37:14.239 --> 00:37:15.519
bit more control when he's going down
there. But I love his energy.

511
00:37:15.599 --> 00:37:19.880
Man, His energy is big.
His energy is really big. His energy

512
00:37:19.960 --> 00:37:22.880
is great. I think that is
what he brings, and when he's playing

513
00:37:22.960 --> 00:37:28.639
good defense, that's what it's about. But I think energy and effectiveness both

514
00:37:29.159 --> 00:37:30.880
need to work in tandem. And
for the most part, you know,

515
00:37:31.000 --> 00:37:34.719
he came into the ball game,
he had the layup on Booker, he

516
00:37:34.840 --> 00:37:37.559
put one off the glass. He
did miss a three pointer, but then

517
00:37:37.599 --> 00:37:40.239
an a one on a goal ten
a fall away, he kind of forced

518
00:37:40.599 --> 00:37:44.880
and dribble the era of the ball. I didn't like that. But a

519
00:37:44.960 --> 00:37:47.000
steal on book of the third,
a steal on KD and then a couple

520
00:37:47.079 --> 00:37:51.880
of nice feeds to a Vitza Zubats
near the end of that third quarter that

521
00:37:51.920 --> 00:37:55.800
I thought were key. I like
the minutes from US tonight. Three more

522
00:37:55.880 --> 00:38:00.039
games this week, I mean,
they're big games. That Sunday game is

523
00:38:00.079 --> 00:38:02.440
going to be huge. I mean, but they got to take it one

524
00:38:02.599 --> 00:38:07.199
one game at a time. Wednesday, then we focused on Friday after and

525
00:38:07.280 --> 00:38:10.159
then Sunday and then uh, those
teams right ahead of them Denver, I

526
00:38:10.239 --> 00:38:15.480
think up two games Okay, see
up one and a half. Okay,

527
00:38:15.480 --> 00:38:17.559
see has three more games this week? Denver has I think three more games

528
00:38:17.599 --> 00:38:22.920
this week? I mean these these
uh, these games they all matter right

529
00:38:22.960 --> 00:38:24.280
now. Man, I know it's
early, but they all matter. Get

530
00:38:24.320 --> 00:38:30.480
those tiebreakers and make that move.
I'm with you. Ho'se appreciate the phone

531
00:38:30.519 --> 00:38:35.280
call, Morris long beat you're on
Clipper stop with out of Mason. Well,

532
00:38:36.159 --> 00:38:40.039
uh, I don't know what to
say. It's already been. Everything

533
00:38:40.159 --> 00:38:45.000
been said, y'all, don said
everything. I mean, uh, Duke

534
00:38:45.039 --> 00:38:47.840
Boxer, that can all start thinking
to James Harden, James Harden, this

535
00:38:47.960 --> 00:38:51.719
boom, this is you know,
the standing up the team. Uh.

536
00:38:52.360 --> 00:38:54.119
A lot of players stand out,
but the one thing that stood out to

537
00:38:54.199 --> 00:39:00.599
me was when Kawhi took the ball
from Kevin from Kevin Durant like you still

538
00:39:00.639 --> 00:39:06.239
somebody's stealing your lunch, big bully, and went down court slam dunk.

539
00:39:07.280 --> 00:39:09.559
Booker was running next to him.
They should have on TV, and Booker.

540
00:39:09.960 --> 00:39:13.239
Booker looked up at him like,
well, I don't want to have

541
00:39:13.360 --> 00:39:15.960
nothing to do with this. You
know. The Clippers meant I don't recognize

542
00:39:16.000 --> 00:39:20.119
these people. They look like an
inside out team and at least they did

543
00:39:20.159 --> 00:39:22.519
in the third quarter. What I
mean by that is this, if your

544
00:39:22.679 --> 00:39:25.840
sinner is not seventy feet, the
first thing the Clippers are going to do

545
00:39:25.960 --> 00:39:30.039
is do a pick and roll.
They're going to roll down with Zubox down

546
00:39:30.039 --> 00:39:31.840
in that middle here, come to
pass. Now, if you collapse on

547
00:39:31.960 --> 00:39:36.000
the brother, no problem. He
can go to either side for that three.

548
00:39:36.039 --> 00:39:38.480
Whether it be man Paul Kawhi,
who's ever hanging out over there,

549
00:39:38.840 --> 00:39:42.800
I don't recognize this team at him. And you're right. When they had

550
00:39:42.840 --> 00:39:45.960
that seventeen or twenty five game winning
Street whatever it was, they wasn't beating

551
00:39:46.039 --> 00:39:50.079
guys like this. They took down
the Big three in New Orleans, when

552
00:39:50.079 --> 00:39:52.440
they took down CJ. McCollum,
Ingram and Williason, all right, and

553
00:39:52.599 --> 00:39:57.559
then they could have beat the Lakers. They could have one shot, but

554
00:39:57.679 --> 00:40:00.360
you know the Lakers were playing to
protect their co Okay, the lady penned

555
00:40:00.400 --> 00:40:02.920
protect coach. I'm gonna give him
that one. But you know, with

556
00:40:04.039 --> 00:40:07.920
all this being said, uh,
I wouldn't bet against these people right now.

557
00:40:08.320 --> 00:40:12.559
I know they've been a laughing stock
for fifty years, but folks ain't

558
00:40:12.599 --> 00:40:15.440
laughs no more. Adam so I'll
see you when you have the Toronto maame.

559
00:40:15.559 --> 00:40:19.440
Come, but I don't recognize these
people. I was gonna say some

560
00:40:19.519 --> 00:40:22.760
stuff, but Jonno's them stole all
my thunder, So I'll talk to you

561
00:40:22.880 --> 00:40:25.360
later. Called the cops, even
the jokers not laughing. They beat the

562
00:40:25.440 --> 00:40:30.960
Denver Nuggets fully loaded. Recently,
Ryan and Burbank quickly here on Clipper stock.

563
00:40:30.000 --> 00:40:37.280
What's up, Adam? Another great
win, So fun to watch,

564
00:40:37.360 --> 00:40:42.559
great Clipper basketball. Oh so good. I was told James Harden would just

565
00:40:42.639 --> 00:40:45.840
play a bunch of isole ball.
That's what I was told. I don't

566
00:40:45.880 --> 00:40:50.000
know's. It's a funny, you
know, Adam here is the name.

567
00:40:50.159 --> 00:40:54.119
It's funny because a lot of a
lot of Clipper fans were like, we

568
00:40:54.199 --> 00:40:58.239
gave up too much, too much, stabt oh, we came up to

569
00:40:58.320 --> 00:41:00.639
too. He's a great, good
guy. Yeah it's true, but I

570
00:41:00.719 --> 00:41:02.920
miss assuming's great guy. Rick clue
guy he was excusing, Yeah, good

571
00:41:02.960 --> 00:41:08.039
good player. The way James Harden
runs the point, the way he gets

572
00:41:08.119 --> 00:41:13.639
all these dudes involved, the way
he gets all of these guys easy.

573
00:41:13.760 --> 00:41:19.519
You could just see it, everyone
slotted into their right position of where they

574
00:41:19.559 --> 00:41:22.039
are. I mean, you're watching
Paul Georgie right now, every time that

575
00:41:22.159 --> 00:41:24.800
pass comes him on the three,
he releases it in rhythm. Back it's

576
00:41:24.880 --> 00:41:30.960
it's just good basketball, and really
what it is. And and man that

577
00:41:30.119 --> 00:41:35.519
the bench and you got the death
lineup for the Clippers. Adam of that

578
00:41:35.719 --> 00:41:39.960
Norman pale Zoo Kawhi Harden PG,
I mean, good god that the Powell

579
00:41:40.079 --> 00:41:45.079
Rangers. They were a plus sixty
two and sixty nine minutes coming into this

580
00:41:45.239 --> 00:41:47.440
game. I believe they ended this
one a plus one in just about a

581
00:41:47.519 --> 00:41:51.800
minute as they ran it in the
second quarner for a second before they took

582
00:41:51.840 --> 00:41:54.159
out Kawhi. Clippers win by twenty
seven over the Suns, one thirty eight,

583
00:41:54.199 --> 00:41:57.960
one to eleven. Your final score
when we come back, will Updyke

584
00:41:58.000 --> 00:42:00.159
from Clips and Dipple be here.
You're listening to Clippers stock here on a

585
00:42:00.320 --> 00:42:06.119
five seventy LA Sports. The La
Clippers continue their hunt for a LARRYO.

586
00:42:06.280 --> 00:42:07.960
B. They still want to get
that LARRYO. B. Don't miss a

587
00:42:08.039 --> 00:42:14.639
moment all season long. This is
the LA Clippers Audio Network. We're just

588
00:42:14.760 --> 00:42:17.920
trying to like parody the turnovers by
the Suns there with the stop restart.

589
00:42:19.000 --> 00:42:23.920
That's that's all it was. Kawhi
Leonard Steele Jam Clippers won by twenty seven

590
00:42:24.039 --> 00:42:28.559
over Phoenix. Welcome back into Clippers
stock. We got a little clips and

591
00:42:28.599 --> 00:42:32.159
double dip with Will Updyke. Now, Will I want to start with Big

592
00:42:32.280 --> 00:42:35.679
Zoo because we've got a lot of
calls on it. Rightfully, So,

593
00:42:36.119 --> 00:42:38.480
since November seventeenth with the new starting
lineup, he's at thirteen and a half

594
00:42:38.519 --> 00:42:45.760
points per game, he's at ten
boards per game, he's shooting almost seventy

595
00:42:45.880 --> 00:42:50.239
percent from the field, and just
look like a new man and a made

596
00:42:50.320 --> 00:42:52.920
man, is I like to say
out there, because they're involving him much

597
00:42:53.039 --> 00:42:59.840
more now and they respect and trust
Big Zoo. Oh, I mean he

598
00:43:00.159 --> 00:43:02.679
was absolutely huge. Look he turned
into that double double guy that we always

599
00:43:02.719 --> 00:43:06.760
knew was in there. He just
needed the right point guard to Unlockett and

600
00:43:07.679 --> 00:43:10.719
defensively, like what he does cannot
be overstated. And he played. He

601
00:43:10.800 --> 00:43:15.360
played use of Nurkic off the for
tonite and the Suns were completely out of

602
00:43:15.440 --> 00:43:17.360
move They had nothing else to do. They tried to go small and just

603
00:43:17.679 --> 00:43:21.639
and just shoot the Clippers out of
the building. Didn't work. The defense

604
00:43:21.760 --> 00:43:24.440
was too good and the Clippers were
shooting the suns out of the building themselves.

605
00:43:25.079 --> 00:43:30.760
The efficiency to night was overall insane. But the level that Zoo has

606
00:43:30.880 --> 00:43:35.559
gotten to really, I mean it
not only raises the floor for this team,

607
00:43:35.679 --> 00:43:38.320
but if if you don't see it, like elevating the ceiling or smashing

608
00:43:38.360 --> 00:43:44.360
the Clippers through whatever ceiling has been
holding them back, you're you're you're missing

609
00:43:44.440 --> 00:43:46.159
it. You must be in the
shadow of Big Zoo and you're and you're

610
00:43:46.199 --> 00:43:52.119
blinded. You're the sun is blocked
out. I thought Kawhi Leonard in a

611
00:43:52.239 --> 00:43:55.280
much and he had bounced back performance
did it on the defensive end, those

612
00:43:55.440 --> 00:44:00.360
four steals in the fourth quarter,
and it was him and Daniel Tys working

613
00:44:00.440 --> 00:44:05.119
in unison. But Kawhi's defense on
Kevin Durant in the third quarter only gave

614
00:44:05.239 --> 00:44:08.679
up three points when he had twenty
in the first half. Tone setter leader,

615
00:44:08.920 --> 00:44:12.920
guys get in line and they follow
him. They're just a different ball

616
00:44:13.000 --> 00:44:15.280
club whenever they have Kawhi Leonard.
And I know you can say that's obvious,

617
00:44:15.360 --> 00:44:19.679
but to me, it's more than
the numbers. There are intangibles.

618
00:44:19.719 --> 00:44:23.480
There's an attitude there, there's that
safety blanket of having Kawhi Leonard out there.

619
00:44:23.760 --> 00:44:28.800
Just I thought a great defensive performance
for him. Yeah, I mean

620
00:44:28.840 --> 00:44:31.280
one hundred percent. Like, look, I feel like the big criticism has

621
00:44:31.320 --> 00:44:34.639
always been at this Clippers team in
the two and three era, Oh there's

622
00:44:34.679 --> 00:44:37.079
not a leader. There's no leader. They don't have that vocal voice in

623
00:44:37.119 --> 00:44:40.239
the locker room. Kawhi is the
silent leader and he always does that.

624
00:44:40.559 --> 00:44:44.400
He had a, you know,
a rough game against the Lakers, not

625
00:44:44.519 --> 00:44:46.639
his best performance, not the level
that we've seen him at so far this

626
00:44:46.840 --> 00:44:52.840
season, and tonight, you know, struggled a little bit offensively, kind

627
00:44:52.840 --> 00:44:55.920
of got it, started things going
in the right direction, but defensively he

628
00:44:57.039 --> 00:44:59.800
can always pick that up. That
is one of those things that's always going

629
00:44:59.880 --> 00:45:02.239
to be in his backpack pockets.
He's got the motor. You know,

630
00:45:02.480 --> 00:45:07.519
he's he's played the most consecutive games
I think he's ever played as a Clipper.

631
00:45:07.599 --> 00:45:12.480
Like he's he's locked in. He's
looking great, and I mean,

632
00:45:13.039 --> 00:45:15.400
you know, this team goes as
far as Kawhi carries him, and right

633
00:45:15.480 --> 00:45:19.199
now it's looking like he's ready to
do a lot of heavy lifting. I

634
00:45:19.280 --> 00:45:22.320
thought Paul George also was a tone
setter in the first quarter. Just punk

635
00:45:22.400 --> 00:45:25.920
and d book, I think he
had. I want to say, three

636
00:45:25.960 --> 00:45:31.159
of his four makes in that first
quarter, we're on Devin Booker ten points.

637
00:45:31.519 --> 00:45:35.440
Just like in Phoenix. He gets
up for this matchup and the Clippers

638
00:45:35.440 --> 00:45:38.840
followed him as well. Oh,
I mean one hundred percent like Paul George

639
00:45:38.920 --> 00:45:43.599
offensively, I mean on both ends
before really, but offensively, he is

640
00:45:43.760 --> 00:45:45.679
so smooth with it. They he
was another one of those guys like the

641
00:45:45.760 --> 00:45:50.639
Sun's just offensively. They had no
answer for him. There was just nothing

642
00:45:50.719 --> 00:45:52.880
there. There was no way to
really slow him down. And yeah,

643
00:45:52.960 --> 00:45:57.960
he's been absolutely great. I think
this is one of those matchups he circles

644
00:45:58.000 --> 00:46:00.880
on the calendar. You know,
the Sun's gotten the better of the Clippers

645
00:46:00.920 --> 00:46:06.199
and two playoff series. I don't
see that happening again, even with this

646
00:46:06.360 --> 00:46:08.480
fully amped up Suns. I mean, as long as the Clippers are healthy,

647
00:46:08.880 --> 00:46:13.920
I wouldn't have seen them losing those
two series if they had Kawhi Leonard

648
00:46:14.519 --> 00:46:16.320
for all of them, and Paul
George was missing all of it last year

649
00:46:16.360 --> 00:46:22.119
too, Terrence Man ten of his
last eighteen makes from the outside. Now,

650
00:46:22.159 --> 00:46:24.480
I think that's over the last four
games. Kawhi Leonard spoke about a

651
00:46:24.559 --> 00:46:28.960
post game, said, you just
gotta keep shooting the basketball, making those

652
00:46:29.000 --> 00:46:31.599
open shots. Everybody has slumps.
It's about fighting, keep shooting and keeping

653
00:46:31.639 --> 00:46:37.719
shooting out there. Unquote. I
just love that Terrence Man was able to

654
00:46:37.920 --> 00:46:43.000
work through this shooting slump because everything
else he does is so important. The

655
00:46:43.039 --> 00:46:45.559
shooting is almost like a bonus at
times. But now I don't know how

656
00:46:45.639 --> 00:46:50.119
you stop this starting lineup when Terrence
Man has going from the outside too.

657
00:46:51.639 --> 00:46:54.559
Yeah. Absolutely, it's just another
weapon. It's another feather in the cap.

658
00:46:54.639 --> 00:46:58.159
And I think the great thing about
the shooting thing. I mean,

659
00:46:58.199 --> 00:47:00.760
obviously he's scoring, which is is
cool, but I think that he has

660
00:47:01.119 --> 00:47:05.199
he's gotten that confidence back. We're
seeing less of an indecision. He seems

661
00:47:05.239 --> 00:47:07.840
a lot more sure of himself on
the floor, which you know, we

662
00:47:07.960 --> 00:47:09.480
know he has the skills that we
know he has the tools to play at

663
00:47:09.480 --> 00:47:13.559
an elite level. We've seen it, frankly, we've seen it. We've

664
00:47:13.559 --> 00:47:16.679
seen it get them to a Western
Conference final, So you know, it's

665
00:47:16.719 --> 00:47:20.239
good. It's good that he's getting
the offensive part of the game going,

666
00:47:20.280 --> 00:47:23.599
because even through that slump, I
thought, you know, I thought demands

667
00:47:23.880 --> 00:47:29.599
to remove Terrence from the starting lineup
were rash at best, absolute insanity at

668
00:47:29.639 --> 00:47:31.000
worst. So it's it's good to
see him turn that a round. And

669
00:47:31.159 --> 00:47:34.679
it was bound to happen, right, we know what he is. He's

670
00:47:34.719 --> 00:47:38.039
a high thirty percent shooter. You
know, kids seem forty if you will.

671
00:47:38.599 --> 00:47:42.519
So it was bound to come back. It's law of averages. You

672
00:47:42.599 --> 00:47:45.679
just got to shoot through it.
Three of six from the outside, I've

673
00:47:45.719 --> 00:47:49.400
seen it. Little half bake reference
there for you. One more here,

674
00:47:50.039 --> 00:47:54.239
Daniel Tie's fantastic run in that fourth
quarter. He Kawhi, James Harden all

675
00:47:54.320 --> 00:47:59.159
kind of working together to open that
game up. He's been amazing. I

676
00:47:59.239 --> 00:48:01.559
still think they got a reintegrate Mason
Plumbly at some point, just because of

677
00:48:01.599 --> 00:48:05.880
his size, did the much better
rebounder and finisher at the rim. But

678
00:48:06.280 --> 00:48:08.880
Daniel Tys in the Clippers time of
need, I don't know where this team

679
00:48:08.880 --> 00:48:14.119
would be without him. Yeah,
absolutely, Entice, another guy. I

680
00:48:14.159 --> 00:48:15.920
gotta give credit to you for playing
through. He started out one for three,

681
00:48:16.280 --> 00:48:20.559
the hand flicked a little rough,
it was like a little wobbley and

682
00:48:20.639 --> 00:48:23.679
then yeah, in that fourth quarter
he lit it up and he and you

683
00:48:23.719 --> 00:48:28.760
know, James Harden have a great
connection. It just type has been great.

684
00:48:28.920 --> 00:48:31.360
So this is in no way disparaging
him. I think he's been an

685
00:48:31.440 --> 00:48:37.280
absolute, an absolute great piece,
and he has definitely helped the Clippers turn

686
00:48:37.400 --> 00:48:39.360
things around on this on this tear
that they've been on as of recent But

687
00:48:39.760 --> 00:48:44.320
you know, watching James Harden out
there with Tys, you just, I

688
00:48:44.400 --> 00:48:46.639
mean, you've got to kind of
marvel at the possibility of a second unit

689
00:48:46.719 --> 00:48:52.360
with James Harden and Mason Plumbly on
it like that. I It's boggling my

690
00:48:52.440 --> 00:48:57.159
mind. It just seems like it
would be so devastating and very difficult to

691
00:48:57.159 --> 00:49:00.840
slow down having an actual seven footer
out there. It's a backup due.

692
00:49:00.320 --> 00:49:04.000
I think it's gonna be great and
type I still think has a place in

693
00:49:04.079 --> 00:49:07.320
this rotation and come playoff time.
You know, he's an interesting piece.

694
00:49:07.360 --> 00:49:10.400
He's another move that you have,
and with the Clippers getting a little bit

695
00:49:10.480 --> 00:49:15.440
smaller across the wing, I like
this sort of versatility that they have at

696
00:49:15.480 --> 00:49:16.719
the five. I think it's interesting. I think it's something a little bit

697
00:49:16.800 --> 00:49:21.599
different, and with the shooting that
they have to go around it, there

698
00:49:21.639 --> 00:49:25.679
really isn't a super wrong combination.
And I think Tylo has been has been

699
00:49:25.760 --> 00:49:30.079
kind of dialing in the lineups a
little bit. I like this game that

700
00:49:30.360 --> 00:49:36.159
you know, we saw very minimal
of Westbrook and Harden on the floor together.

701
00:49:36.199 --> 00:49:37.760
It was like it was like maybe
a minute it was. It was

702
00:49:37.800 --> 00:49:40.599
not very many possessions. But he's
getting these things figured out, and it's

703
00:49:40.679 --> 00:49:45.920
not just the closing lineups, Like
he's figuring out how to maximize things throughout

704
00:49:45.960 --> 00:49:50.719
a forty eight minute game. And
I mean, it looks really good.

705
00:49:50.800 --> 00:49:55.039
It feels like such a turnaround from
from last night, which which really felt

706
00:49:55.119 --> 00:50:00.039
like a pretty big disappointment. And
it wasn't necessarily a step backwards, but

707
00:50:00.119 --> 00:50:02.719
it didn't feel like the Clippers that
we've seen since they've turned things around in

708
00:50:02.760 --> 00:50:07.239
the Harden era, playing them out
like it's the Golden Globes. I'm sorry,

709
00:50:07.320 --> 00:50:07.800
Will, we had to do it. We gotta get out of here.

710
00:50:07.920 --> 00:50:10.880
Clippers win one thirty eight to one
eleven over the Phoenix Suns. Will

711
00:50:10.960 --> 00:50:15.079
Updyke of Clips and Dip. We'll
have a YouTube for you tomorrow before we

712
00:50:15.239 --> 00:50:17.159
get out of here. I'm sorry, Mark, I'm sorry, Jose,

713
