WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.280 --> 00:00:04.320 The game is over. Paul George money in the pain, but the postgame 2 00:00:04.360 --> 00:00:09.320 reaction has just begun. Kawhi Leonard is so smooth in the mid range. 3 00:00:09.679 --> 00:00:13.800 This is Clippers locker Room, a recap of today's game and a look ahead, 4 00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:18.359 your hope for LA Clippers basketball. And now your host, You, 5 00:00:18.600 --> 00:00:24.440 sir, are a bad man, Adam Ousley. Clippers make it ten straight 6 00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:28.399 over the Lakers. They win one thirty three to one fifteen. Welcome into 7 00:00:28.440 --> 00:00:31.879 your postgame show. Coming up, we'll get the second half highlights. Looking 8 00:00:31.920 --> 00:00:35.159 for postgame audio from the head coach and the players. But first back out 9 00:00:35.159 --> 00:00:38.719 to your voice of the Clippers in Noah Eagle. Now, a great start 10 00:00:38.759 --> 00:00:42.399 in that first quarter from the Clippers, hot shooting, scored thirty seven in 11 00:00:42.439 --> 00:00:45.159 the first twelve minutes, a lot of Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, but 12 00:00:45.759 --> 00:00:49.399 specifically Kawai the first two buckets of the game. You could just tell he 13 00:00:49.439 --> 00:00:52.000 was locked in for the Clippers. Yeah, he came out with that urgency 14 00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:54.600 and the Clippers came out with that urgency to go up nine. Nothing to 15 00:00:54.640 --> 00:00:57.880 start a game without missing a shot, that tells you something. It tells 16 00:00:57.880 --> 00:01:00.399 you that you're locked in. It tells you that you're ready to go and 17 00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:03.000 prove a point. And I think that's what the Clippers did tonight. They 18 00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:07.400 proved a point once again about really who goes in there, who can dominate 19 00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:11.840 this series. That's ten straight wins. That is, let me get that. 20 00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:14.319 What did I say, thirty five and seven? I believe it is 21 00:01:14.359 --> 00:01:17.040 that correct, Adam. Over the last forty two games, yeah, thirty 22 00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:19.879 five and seven since twenty twelve, twenty thirteen against the Lakers, thirty five 23 00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:23.799 and seven. And I know that Dennis was just saying, and he's probably 24 00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:27.000 right. The most impressive stat to come from that ten game winning streak is 25 00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:32.400 the fact that the Clippers have only trailed by six, the largest Laker lead 26 00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:37.719 and the last ten meetings six. It's crazy, Adam, and the Lakers 27 00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:41.840 did push things in that fourth quarter. It was a ten point game at 28 00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:46.040 one thirteen, one oh three, and I thought what proceeded after that was 29 00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:49.519 one of the best stretches of this Clippers season with them closing things out. 30 00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:53.439 Yep, one hundred percent. First, you get Paul George with the tip 31 00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:57.239 away on the inbound knocks it into the front court, scoops it kind of 32 00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:00.200 guides it to Kauai, who gets fouled, lays it in. It's a 33 00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:04.040 three point play and you get a stop come back. Reggie Jackson tees off 34 00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:07.599 on a deep three knocks that through six straight points and then you come right 35 00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:10.560 back the other way. Kawai on the steel takes a coast to coast outraces 36 00:02:10.599 --> 00:02:15.000 everybody to the ram two handed stuff. You know. I was talking to 37 00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:16.560 some people before this game, and they said, if the Lakers want to 38 00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:20.520 win this game, Lebron is gonna have to have a herculean effort. They 39 00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:23.919 said, he's gonna have to put up close to fifty. We did hit 40 00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:27.479 forty six points in this game, eight rebounds and seven assists. He was 41 00:02:27.639 --> 00:02:30.759 nine to fourteen from three. That's a career high, and made threes in 42 00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:35.400 a game for Lebron James. Many people believe he's the greatest player who has 43 00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:38.479 ever played the game of basketball. He's going to be the old time leading 44 00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:42.639 scorer. He's never made nine threes in a game. And yet it never 45 00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:46.919 got closer to ten. It never got closer than ten after that early spurt 46 00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:51.319 in the second quarter. Ten was the closest they got and Lebron had an 47 00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:53.960 unbelievable performance, one of the best performances I've seen from him in person, 48 00:02:54.159 --> 00:02:59.319 which is saying something and the Clippers hot shooting in the first half fifteen to 49 00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:01.400 twenty two twenty three. I'm seeing two different box scores still on that. 50 00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:06.840 But the point is they hit fifteen three pointers in the first half, and 51 00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:09.520 they were cold in the second, only made four threes, but it didn't 52 00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:13.560 matter. They found other ways to be successful. Well. The other thing 53 00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:15.560 is they built up that lead. You build up enough of cushion, That's 54 00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:17.879 what I was trying to say early in the game, when they went up 55 00:03:17.960 --> 00:03:22.439 nine nothing, you have to then take full advantage. So fifteen of twenty 56 00:03:22.439 --> 00:03:24.879 three is what I see from the first half. They finished the game nineteen 57 00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:28.919 of thirty eight means. That means that they went four of fifteen in the 58 00:03:28.919 --> 00:03:31.000 second half. But they had built up so much real estate and so much 59 00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:36.479 leash for themselves that they didn't have to go out there and shoot the lights 60 00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:38.319 out again. They could play their game, they could get to the rim, 61 00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:42.280 they could play good defense and let everything else kind of take care of 62 00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:44.879 itself, which it did. They end up winning the fourth quarter of thirty 63 00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:47.240 five to thirty three. There was really nothing that the Lakers could do to 64 00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:51.879 stop the Clippers tonight. The third quarter they only scored twenty one. Some 65 00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:53.319 of those were just missed threes, they were wide open and a lot of 66 00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:58.759 those. But thirty seven points, forty points in the second, thirty five 67 00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:01.280 points in the fourth. You take away just the third quarter, and that's 68 00:04:01.319 --> 00:04:04.639 what the Clippers. It's still above I think what the Clippers had been scoring 69 00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:06.439 for most of the season. Let me do the quick math in my head. 70 00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:11.039 That's one twelve. Yeah, Clippers average one on nine point seven. 71 00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:15.080 That's three other quarters. Today they got them to one twelve and then push 72 00:04:15.159 --> 00:04:16.560 them over the top to get to one thirty three. I mean, this 73 00:04:16.639 --> 00:04:20.199 is gonna be a big bump in their offensive efficiency. Defensively, I thought, 74 00:04:20.279 --> 00:04:24.079 even though they give up one fifteen, they played a really good game. 75 00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:28.399 And the only area of concern. Two areas of concern to me in 76 00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:30.800 this game. One turnovers. We've talked about it all season. A couple 77 00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:33.720 of careless ones. That's what allowed the Lakers to get this to win in 78 00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:38.839 ten. The second one offensive rebounding, and the Clippers did a much better 79 00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:40.839 job of it in the second half. But in the first half, when 80 00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:45.360 and Gabriel dominated the offensive, Glass led to sixteen second chance points overall. 81 00:04:45.439 --> 00:04:47.480 Tonight for the Lakers, too many. You've got to do a better job 82 00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:51.040 there. But other than that, a near flawless performance from the Clippers. 83 00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:55.839 Clippers make it ten in a row over the Lakers. They've won three straight. 84 00:04:55.879 --> 00:04:59.639 Now they're back to two games above five hundred at twenty six and twenty 85 00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:02.519 four. They're staying at home. Their next contest coming up on Thursday, 86 00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:08.079 back against the Spurs, seven thirty tip time. We'll have your Clippers countdown 87 00:05:08.079 --> 00:05:11.720 show starting at six thirty. No, they can't keep me out Thursday night. 88 00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:14.360 I'll be there with you, my friend. Great call. We'll see 89 00:05:14.360 --> 00:05:16.439 at Thursday night.

They win one thirty three to one fifteen. They've won 95 00:05:48.600 --> 00:05:54.240 thirty five at the last forty two matchups between these two ball clubs. Welcome 96 00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:57.519 back into your post game show coming up on AM five seventy l A Sports. 97 00:05:57.560 --> 00:06:00.360 We'll have Clippers talk for you. Eight six six ninety seven two five 98 00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:03.199 seventy eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy is the phone number. 99 00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:09.319 But first let's get to some second half highlights. Clippers were up by twenty 100 00:06:09.439 --> 00:06:13.720 three at the half thanks to hitting fifteen three pointers. They were fifteen of 101 00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:18.319 twenty three from the outside through the first twenty four minutes. Kawhi Leonard ended 102 00:06:18.439 --> 00:06:23.480 up with I want to say he had fifteen points in the first half. 103 00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:27.639 Kept it going in the third quarter. James fallon extended four side, Jimmy 104 00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:31.279 Shake drives light to the ramp. Oh pluck by Leonard. The clock gets 105 00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:34.800 the King just past goes the Leonard left wing with five on the shop cluck 106 00:06:35.319 --> 00:06:39.360 Leonard alma screen to his left drive so and that pulls up from fifteen. 107 00:06:39.480 --> 00:06:45.639 Kawhi Leonard ice it is veins money in the mid range ninety to seventy four 108 00:06:45.639 --> 00:06:47.519 Clippers. Leonard will go to work driving mid'll pull up from the Ditton line 109 00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:51.959 and puts it in again, Kawhi with eighteen and the Clippers up sixteen ninety 110 00:06:51.959 --> 00:06:56.800 two seventy six with three forty two play the third. Kawhi was six more 111 00:06:56.839 --> 00:07:00.600 points there in the third quarter in that big block on Lebron James, but 112 00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:02.480 they would lose the third quarter by seven points. It was ninety eight to 113 00:07:02.600 --> 00:07:08.480 eighty two heading into the fourth. It was a ten point game midway through 114 00:07:08.519 --> 00:07:12.959 the quarter at one thirteen to one oh three. But then the Clippers would 115 00:07:13.000 --> 00:07:15.800 close things out with this run. Oh the past knocked away by George. 116 00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:18.920 Can he get to it? Shrewder goes to the deck, George is there 117 00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:23.959 to tie him up and then throw it away. Leonard is fouled, lays 118 00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:29.519 it in, counting in the foul. Leonard on the takeaway, George on 119 00:07:29.560 --> 00:07:33.879 the deflection, and Kauai with a chance for three. George driving was right, 120 00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:40.040 hooks it left wing. Jackson tries the three nuts it down, Reggie 121 00:07:40.199 --> 00:07:46.439 checks in pure one nineteen o one OHO three Clippers five fifteen to play, 122 00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:49.839 Westbrook driving middle strip by letter to the steel up ahead. Here comes Kawhi 123 00:07:49.879 --> 00:07:57.240 one on one with Shrewder slims with two. The swiping score from Leonard Kawai 124 00:07:57.399 --> 00:08:01.560 finishes with twenty five. Clippers would finish shof the Lakers with a one thirty 125 00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:05.399 three to one fifteen victory.

They were led by Paul George. 139 00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:13.120 He had twenty seven on just twenty shots. Twelve of those twenty seven 140 00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:18.039 came in the first quarter. Kawhi finished with twenty five points, had seven 141 00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:20.320 of those in the fourth. Some big plays down the stretch, as you 142 00:09:20.360 --> 00:09:24.080 would expect, say from Norm Powell.

The Clippers were the last team 169 00:11:24.159 --> 00:11:28.679 Lebron had yet to have a forty point game against, and you can just 170 00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:33.080 see it was hanging over his head, and that stat had been out there 171 00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:37.720 the last couple of days as the build up to this game was underway, 172 00:11:39.240 --> 00:11:46.080 and Lebron got it forty six in fact, and went for a career high 173 00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:50.200 nine made three pointers in the Lakers went sixteen oh forty that's forty percent from 174 00:11:50.200 --> 00:11:56.879 the outside, and the Clippers still beat him by eighteen. Clippers led by 175 00:11:56.919 --> 00:12:03.120 twenty three in the first half. They hit fifteen of their first twenty three 176 00:12:03.159 --> 00:12:09.320 attempts from the outside. Just unconscious. But it was some of the defense 177 00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:11.320 they were playing. I know they put up seventy seven points in that first 178 00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:16.279 half, that's great, but they held the Lakers to I believe fifty four 179 00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:24.399 and from the beginning, the Clippers just played with a different level of urgency. 180 00:12:24.440 --> 00:12:28.279 And I think it starts with Kawhi Leonard, who had their first four 181 00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:31.600 points, got an easy one near the basket, then hit one in the 182 00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:35.639 mid range. I want to say, of his eleven makes, only three 183 00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:41.120 were within six feet of the rim, the rest all in the mid range, 184 00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:43.919 because he didn't hit a three pointer, shockingly, as the Clippers hit 185 00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:48.600 nineteen overall, so just four or fifteen in the second half after going fifteen 186 00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:52.159 or twenty three in the first half, and Kawhi doesn't get one of them, 187 00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:58.000 but an efficient twenty five on sixteen shots. And Paul George played like 188 00:12:58.000 --> 00:13:03.000 a superstar as well, eleven or twenty for twenty seven points. Had twelve 189 00:13:03.039 --> 00:13:05.559 of those twenty seven in the first quarter. Was hid early, hit a 190 00:13:05.559 --> 00:13:11.320 couple of three pointers in that first quarter. Had a tough move in the 191 00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:13.960 I want to say it was early in the fourth quarter against Patrick Beverley, 192 00:13:15.799 --> 00:13:20.799 just a step back, baseline fade away. But I thought he made the 193 00:13:20.840 --> 00:13:26.320 play of the game when things were getting a little bit dicey, and after 194 00:13:26.440 --> 00:13:31.200 leading by twenty three, after being up big. Look the Lakers have fought 195 00:13:31.240 --> 00:13:33.720 recently. They just came back down twenty five in Portland. The other night, 196 00:13:35.840 --> 00:13:39.480 they came back late and stole one from the Memphis Grizzlies, who had 197 00:13:39.480 --> 00:13:43.759 one eleven straight. And it was a ten point game at one thirteen to 198 00:13:43.960 --> 00:13:48.080 one. H three and Noah Eagle and I talked about it. The Clippers 199 00:13:48.519 --> 00:13:54.919 needed one more run to cross the finish line, and it was this sequence 200 00:13:56.000 --> 00:13:58.200 here where they went on an eight oh run. It started with a tip 201 00:13:58.240 --> 00:14:03.200 pass off an bounce pass from the Lakers, and it was Paul George hustling, 202 00:14:03.039 --> 00:14:05.840 Oh the past knocked away by George. Can he get to it? 203 00:14:05.919 --> 00:14:09.240 Shrewder goes to the deck, George is there to tie him up and then 204 00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:13.879 threw it away. Leonard is fouled, lays it in, counting in the 205 00:14:13.960 --> 00:14:20.679 foul. Leonard on the takeaway, George on the deflection, and Kauai with 206 00:14:20.759 --> 00:14:24.159 a chance for three. George driving was right, hooks it left wing. 207 00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:33.039 Jackson tries the three nuts it down Riggie Chickson pure one nineteen O one oh 208 00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:37.519 three Clippers five fifteen to play Westbrook driving Min'll strip by letter to the steel 209 00:14:37.799 --> 00:14:41.039 up ahead. Here comes Kawhi one on one with Shrewder slims with two. 210 00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:48.600 The swiping score from Leonard. The Clippers went from being up ten to up 211 00:14:48.679 --> 00:14:52.480 eighteen. There the Lakers cleared their bench and the Clippers would go on to 212 00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:56.720 win by eighteen. Final score one thirty three to one. Fifteen, but 213 00:14:56.759 --> 00:15:01.519 the poison under noise there where it looked like didn't just look like Lebron wasn't 214 00:15:01.559 --> 00:15:07.919 missing anything from the outside, a career high nine made three pointers. They 215 00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:13.320 faced some adversity and they responded like that. They took the Lakers best punch 216 00:15:15.039 --> 00:15:18.480 and the two one three connection with Paul George tipping it away. A hustle 217 00:15:18.519 --> 00:15:22.919 play gets it to Kawhi Leonard the and one opportunity, then Reggie Jackson a 218 00:15:22.919 --> 00:15:26.840 big time three pointer, big government with the bailout, and then Kawhi a 219 00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:31.720 steal and a dunk on the other end as Shrewder couldn't get in his way, 220 00:15:33.360 --> 00:15:35.399 and all of a sudden, like that, the Clippers are up. 221 00:15:35.440 --> 00:15:39.879 What was it one nineteen, one h three, So make it one twenty 222 00:15:39.879 --> 00:15:43.039 one, one h three. Excuse me? That was the score to getting 223 00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:46.919 back up by eighteen, and with five minutes left, Darvin Ham waved the 224 00:15:46.919 --> 00:15:52.919 white flag, brought in the backups had seen enough. Lakers had their chance, 225 00:15:52.039 --> 00:15:56.639 made their run, but the Clippers were able to respond. They was 226 00:15:56.759 --> 00:16:02.200 stood it. They was stood only making four three pointers in the second half. 227 00:16:03.360 --> 00:16:04.960 They didn't have to stay that hot. We knew it was gonna be 228 00:16:06.000 --> 00:16:10.679 tough hitting fifteen threes. If they duplicated that in the second half, it 229 00:16:10.679 --> 00:16:12.080 would have been a Clippers record, it would have been a franchise record. 230 00:16:12.120 --> 00:16:15.080 I think that would have been an NBA record or close to thirty made three 231 00:16:15.159 --> 00:16:18.039 pointers. I want to say Milwaukee Bucks have it right now at twenty nine 232 00:16:18.080 --> 00:16:22.799 made in the game from a season or two ago. But that was a 233 00:16:22.919 --> 00:16:27.120 nice victory. I know the Lakers are still struggling and their three games or 234 00:16:27.200 --> 00:16:32.159 four games under five hundred, but it's hard to win ten straight against a 235 00:16:32.159 --> 00:16:37.519 team. For the rivalry to be this lopsided in favor of the Clippers. 236 00:16:37.559 --> 00:16:41.159 Thirty five at last forty two games between these two won by the Clippers is 237 00:16:41.320 --> 00:16:48.320 extraordinary and there's work to be done. Clippers have bigger fish to fry. 238 00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:52.559 They have much higher expectations for themselves, and they've won three in a row 239 00:16:52.639 --> 00:17:00.000 now and look better because Kauai's back. He's playing a healthy thirty five minute 240 00:17:00.679 --> 00:17:06.400 again, but he looks like he's elevating much more with the jump shot. 241 00:17:07.160 --> 00:17:11.359 It just looks easy again. It just looks effortless, and it looks like 242 00:17:12.160 --> 00:17:17.599 twenty one Kawhi Leonard before he toured the ACL and I want to say, 243 00:17:17.599 --> 00:17:19.519 in ten of his last eleven games, now he's gone for twenty or more. 244 00:17:21.519 --> 00:17:25.960 He's been so efficient coming into this one. Last ten games twenty seven 245 00:17:26.039 --> 00:17:30.240 per game on fifty two percent shooting from the field, fifty percent from three, 246 00:17:30.400 --> 00:17:33.880 ninety four percent from the free throw line. And he had a block 247 00:17:33.160 --> 00:17:40.079 on Lebron in the second half. Plays like that energize your team. We 248 00:17:40.160 --> 00:17:42.160 thought he had one on Russ too, should have been. It looked clean, 249 00:17:42.759 --> 00:17:48.000 but he was called for a foul. Clippers had eight as a team. 250 00:17:48.119 --> 00:17:51.920 I Vitsa Zubots had one on Russ. I want to say Roco and 251 00:17:52.119 --> 00:17:56.400 Nicholas Batoum did as well. So we talked about a pregame keys to the 252 00:17:56.440 --> 00:18:02.839 game, defend without fouling. Lakers still got up twenty four free throws, 253 00:18:03.400 --> 00:18:07.200 but they missed nine of them, and overall they didn't get into transition as 254 00:18:07.279 --> 00:18:11.440 much as they would have liked. Clippers made him play in the half court 255 00:18:11.680 --> 00:18:15.160 at times. Lakers were successful because Lebron was that hot from the outside. 256 00:18:15.400 --> 00:18:19.119 But he may be the greatest player of all time. If you can live 257 00:18:19.200 --> 00:18:23.640 with that, if you take care of business with everybody else and for the 258 00:18:23.680 --> 00:18:29.279 most part they did. Russ was just four thirteen for his seventeen points. 259 00:18:29.640 --> 00:18:33.519 Our old friend Pat Bev one of eight, Dennis Shrewder three of nine, 260 00:18:36.079 --> 00:18:40.000 Briant who's been awesome. Thomas Bryan for them has been on a run and 261 00:18:40.039 --> 00:18:44.319 a big part of their success recently. He had fifteen seven. But I 262 00:18:44.480 --> 00:18:48.200 thought for the most part of ETSA Zoobots held his own in there. And 263 00:18:49.200 --> 00:18:52.519 the Clippers once again got a great performance off the bench from Norman Powell, 264 00:18:53.559 --> 00:18:59.839 twenty two on twelve shots. This guy, as much as the Clippers were 265 00:18:59.839 --> 00:19:03.799 on fire from three in this game in the first half, Norman Powell is 266 00:19:03.920 --> 00:19:10.880 seventeen for his last twenty five from three going back four games now, including 267 00:19:10.920 --> 00:19:15.119 this one. At sixty eight percent from distance, you're going to talk about 268 00:19:15.119 --> 00:19:21.119 a heater. And then he gets the rim DAWs contact only got to the 269 00:19:21.160 --> 00:19:25.000 free throw line once, but I had a tough one off the glass he 270 00:19:25.079 --> 00:19:30.880 made. I always thought he was a great compliment, the right guy next 271 00:19:30.920 --> 00:19:33.400 to Kawai and Paul George, because then he and somebody with some quick downhill 272 00:19:33.440 --> 00:19:40.720 attack and scoring punch, and Norman Powell provides that and just makes it look 273 00:19:40.839 --> 00:19:45.240 so easy and Obviously, he's played next to Kawai before and won a championship 274 00:19:45.240 --> 00:19:48.920 with him in twenty nineteen with the Toronto Raptors, so some familiarity they're already, 275 00:19:49.920 --> 00:19:53.359 but a lot of good performances, I thought, Roco going two of 276 00:19:53.440 --> 00:20:00.640 two from distance and being a force out there on the defensive end, getting 277 00:20:00.680 --> 00:20:03.920 he didn't get credited for a steel, but he knocked a few passes away. 278 00:20:04.240 --> 00:20:08.880 He even had a block late during inconsequential time. He just plays at 279 00:20:08.880 --> 00:20:17.240 that level always. Nicholas Batum had a three pointer, but the defense it's 280 00:20:17.319 --> 00:20:21.880 always there. He's switching one through five. And you're starting to see this 281 00:20:21.920 --> 00:20:26.640 Clippers offense pull it together. Because I brought this up the other day, 282 00:20:26.720 --> 00:20:32.759 but over the last fifteen games, they've been the eleventh best offense, while 283 00:20:32.799 --> 00:20:36.480 on the season for the most part, they were bottom three coming into this 284 00:20:36.480 --> 00:20:40.480 one, all of a sudden, they were twenty fifth. But now it's 285 00:20:40.519 --> 00:20:45.599 sixteen games, seventeen games and playing much better on that end, and I'm 286 00:20:45.599 --> 00:20:48.960 expecting them when I go to those offensive ratings over the last month, month 287 00:20:48.000 --> 00:20:51.119 and a half, they might be a top ten offense. All of a 288 00:20:51.160 --> 00:20:53.599 sudden, Wow, that you have Kawhi Leonard back. He's played I want 289 00:20:53.599 --> 00:20:56.440 to say, eighteen of their last twenty three games. What a difference it 290 00:20:56.480 --> 00:21:00.640 makes the last three games they've had him and Paul Jorge on the court. 291 00:21:00.119 --> 00:21:06.799 I want to see that continuing. Hopefully they're good to go Thursday night when 292 00:21:06.799 --> 00:21:10.519 they can build up that continuity. And as coach, we talked about it. 293 00:21:10.559 --> 00:21:15.000 With rotations and just guys playing the roles that were expected of them coming 294 00:21:15.039 --> 00:21:19.519 into the season, they look like a completely different ball club. And considering 295 00:21:19.519 --> 00:21:23.720 the pace they played at at times and the hot shooting from the Lakers now 296 00:21:23.759 --> 00:21:27.839 giving up one fifteen when you score one thirty three, it's not necessarily that 297 00:21:27.920 --> 00:21:32.720 bad of a defensive game because there are more possessions had because of the fast 298 00:21:32.720 --> 00:21:36.279 pace out there. So of course teams are going to score more. That 299 00:21:36.599 --> 00:21:40.079 is why you look at the advanced numbers for offensive rating and defensive rating. 300 00:21:40.079 --> 00:21:41.440 If a team plays at a slow pace, that might not mean they're a 301 00:21:41.440 --> 00:21:45.880 great defense. The other team could still be a fishing against them. They're 302 00:21:45.920 --> 00:21:51.519 just not getting as many shots shots up. So the Clippers win by eighteen 303 00:21:51.519 --> 00:21:53.960 over the Lakers, ten straight again, thirty five of the last forty two 304 00:21:55.519 --> 00:22:00.079 they've won against them. Let's get to Victor and Oh leaving the game. 305 00:22:00.759 --> 00:22:11.160 Victor, what's up? You're on Clippers stock with Adam Alston Victor Damian Okay, 306 00:22:11.240 --> 00:22:15.240 we'll go to Jose in Downey, Jose what's up? Start things off 307 00:22:15.240 --> 00:22:19.599 tonight on Clipper Stock. Hey, how are you doing tonight? I felt 308 00:22:19.599 --> 00:22:23.519 like I had a call in because the only two times I've ever called in 309 00:22:23.640 --> 00:22:27.640 when they when they weren't doing well. So I gotta give them props. 310 00:22:27.839 --> 00:22:33.359 They really cleaned up the apology tour underway. I wouldn't say they've cleaned up 311 00:22:33.359 --> 00:22:37.839 on the defensive side. They've actually been twenty six there over the last fifteen 312 00:22:37.920 --> 00:22:40.799 games. They were better tonight. Yes, they were better against Dallas. 313 00:22:40.880 --> 00:22:44.960 Yes, but they've been much worse on that and it's the offense that has 314 00:22:44.960 --> 00:22:48.799 started to turn around. I guess I met more in those in the last 315 00:22:48.799 --> 00:22:52.880 three games when they've won. I feel like they've been trying to rotate better, 316 00:22:52.119 --> 00:22:56.079 knowing where their spots is going to be when they're switching around. Well, 317 00:22:56.079 --> 00:23:00.440 remember the Spurs scored one hundred and twenty six points against That's so last 318 00:23:00.480 --> 00:23:04.240 couple of games. Yes, we've seen signs of life. Defensively, we'll 319 00:23:04.279 --> 00:23:07.880 put it like that, say, right, right, yeah, defensively, 320 00:23:07.960 --> 00:23:11.039 Yeah, but I think that the shooting has really woken up in the last 321 00:23:11.039 --> 00:23:15.319 three games and that's made a big difference. Yeah, no doubt, especially 322 00:23:15.359 --> 00:23:21.319 from distance in this one. But it's because guys are playing off Kawai and 323 00:23:21.319 --> 00:23:23.799 Paul George. When those two are out there, everybody gets easier shots. 324 00:23:25.359 --> 00:23:29.680 When you have someone like Kauai the mid range assassin, the three level score 325 00:23:29.799 --> 00:23:33.079 next to a three level score, and Paul George, guys that can do 326 00:23:33.119 --> 00:23:37.240 it all, it just makes things so much easier for everybody, right, 327 00:23:37.279 --> 00:23:41.640 And I think you just mentioned a couple of minutes ago that they've played the 328 00:23:41.680 --> 00:23:47.480 three games together, so that makes a big difference. They have to be 329 00:23:47.559 --> 00:23:49.839 on the floor. I mean, those are the guys you built your team 330 00:23:49.880 --> 00:23:53.559 around. That's what gives them a chance to win it all. If you 331 00:23:53.559 --> 00:23:57.599 don't have them out there, they're not the same Clippers team. Obviously it 332 00:23:57.640 --> 00:24:03.119 goes without saying, but sometimes people evaluate him and it's like, well, 333 00:24:03.119 --> 00:24:07.960 how many of those games that Kawhi and Paul George playing, Uh, yeah, 334 00:24:07.359 --> 00:24:10.799 they're they're coming around. I want to say they're turning a corner here 335 00:24:11.440 --> 00:24:15.279 because the effort on both sides the last two games, or the performances on 336 00:24:15.279 --> 00:24:19.759 both sides the last two games have been very encouraging, and Kawhi looks like 337 00:24:19.839 --> 00:24:25.240 Kauai. That's the most important thing we've seen really all season long. If 338 00:24:25.240 --> 00:24:27.079 they're gonna have a chance to get that Larry O. B As he would 339 00:24:27.119 --> 00:24:30.799 say, he has to look like the twenty twenty one version of Kawhi Leonard, 340 00:24:30.839 --> 00:24:33.079 who was the best player in the game before he went down with that 341 00:24:33.119 --> 00:24:37.839 ACL injury. Nobody played better or was playing better than him during that playoff 342 00:24:37.920 --> 00:24:44.079 run. Kawhi was absolutely dominant and Paul George looked great next to him. 343 00:24:44.119 --> 00:24:48.359 And I love the effort from Paul George in this one because he gets off 344 00:24:48.400 --> 00:24:52.640 to the quick start aggressive. Did have four turnovers, some head scratching ones 345 00:24:52.680 --> 00:24:56.960 they're gonna be there, had four assists, but you know, he played 346 00:24:57.440 --> 00:25:03.160 to his level of at letticism at times, a few dunks that put back 347 00:25:03.240 --> 00:25:07.440 Dunkey had where nobody boxed out for the Lakers. That was impressive. And 348 00:25:07.480 --> 00:25:11.759 then I mentioned that step back fade away over Pat Bev who he and Kawhi 349 00:25:11.839 --> 00:25:18.720 Leonard were just feasting on It seemed like they were intent on getting after Patrick 350 00:25:18.759 --> 00:25:22.000 Beverley, who had a rough one defensively and then just went one of eight. 351 00:25:22.640 --> 00:25:25.799 He's still one of my all time favorite Clippers, but right now he's 352 00:25:25.839 --> 00:25:29.160 playing for the enemy and Los Angeles Lakers. Clippers, though, make a 353 00:25:29.200 --> 00:25:33.200 ten straight. They win one thirty three to one fifteen over the Lakers eight 354 00:25:33.279 --> 00:25:37.480 six six nine eight seven two five seventy eight six six nine eight seven two 355 00:25:37.519 --> 00:25:41.240 five seventy is the phone number more Clippers stack next here on Amp five seventy. 356 00:25:41.279 --> 00:26:00.640 ELI sports out all day. I'm a God, Get all squad a 357 00:26:00.720 --> 00:26:06.559 job, get am all pay. Clippers win one thirty three to one fifteen 358 00:26:06.720 --> 00:26:11.799 over the Lakers. Start off hot. It was a nine nothing lead. 359 00:26:11.880 --> 00:26:14.680 They started four or four from the field, a sign of things to come, 360 00:26:14.720 --> 00:26:18.839 as they would hit fifteen of their first twenty three attempts from the outside. 361 00:26:18.319 --> 00:26:22.240 That's where they were at from three in the first half. They led 362 00:26:22.240 --> 00:26:25.559 by twenty three, but it was a ten point game. With about six 363 00:26:25.599 --> 00:26:29.599 minutes left, Clippers put together one last run, an impressive one, one 364 00:26:29.640 --> 00:26:33.000 of the best sequences of Clippers basketball all season long, to put the Lakers 365 00:26:33.039 --> 00:26:38.000 away to win by eighteen to make it ten straight and thirty five, and 366 00:26:38.039 --> 00:26:44.799 the last forty two they've won thirty five and the last forty two against the 367 00:26:44.880 --> 00:26:47.839 Lakers. It's just a crazy number. I don't know if anybody's got that 368 00:26:47.960 --> 00:26:49.279 level of dominance in the league right now. And I had to have matchup. 369 00:26:49.480 --> 00:26:53.200 While we have a moment, let's pause ten seconds for station identification here 370 00:26:53.240 --> 00:27:00.400 on AMPI seventy l A sports this this LA Clippers basketball A five seventy LAC 371 00:27:00.559 --> 00:27:07.559 Los Angeles kr HD to Los Angeles and iHeart radio station. It just doesn't 372 00:27:07.599 --> 00:27:12.160 compute. It's crazy, all right. Julio from Armani, California. Julio, 373 00:27:12.240 --> 00:27:17.079 you're on Clippers stuff without Amalas and what's up? By Yeah, I 374 00:27:17.160 --> 00:27:19.039 just leanted to say that the Clippers look really good tonight. He looked like 375 00:27:19.119 --> 00:27:22.799 that team that everybody was talking about before the season started. You know, 376 00:27:22.839 --> 00:27:27.160 the threes were falling, defensive one point and as you mentioned, Kawhi Leonard 377 00:27:27.200 --> 00:27:30.799 looked like himself. If we keep well, the most important things we gotta 378 00:27:30.799 --> 00:27:33.880 stay healthy. But if we keep playing like that, good things for the 379 00:27:33.880 --> 00:27:37.720 Clippers to come are You're right, it starts with health. Julio. I 380 00:27:37.720 --> 00:27:45.000 appreciate the phone call, but Kawhi looking this good already with thirty two games 381 00:27:45.079 --> 00:27:51.480 left in the season. I didn't expect that. Everything they did to slowly 382 00:27:51.519 --> 00:27:55.839 bring him along on this rehab process has worked, because he looks to be 383 00:27:56.000 --> 00:28:00.160 right back where he was. I just didn't see it coming this fast. 384 00:28:00.680 --> 00:28:06.640 He's been explosive, the elevation on his jump shots, like I mentioned earlier, 385 00:28:07.160 --> 00:28:11.960 the way he just bully guys getting into the basket like Brown Junior or 386 00:28:11.279 --> 00:28:17.079 he got him I think in the third quarter, just muscling through defenders. 387 00:28:17.279 --> 00:28:21.720 That's Kauai. That's Kawhi. Leonard Claw's strength. He's been doing this for 388 00:28:21.759 --> 00:28:26.279 a long time. But coming off in ACL tear, you just never know. 389 00:28:26.279 --> 00:28:32.240 He looks closer to himself already. Then Jamal Murray does to being back 390 00:28:32.279 --> 00:28:34.559 to his level that he was at before the ACL and he tore his I 391 00:28:34.559 --> 00:28:37.839 want to say a month and a half or two months before Kawai did. 392 00:28:38.039 --> 00:28:41.559 Now that was I believe a full tear. Kauai is a partial I don't 393 00:28:41.559 --> 00:28:45.599 want to get into the nitty gerty of it too much because it's out of 394 00:28:45.599 --> 00:28:51.960 my depth, but it's just a great sign it's the most important thing to 395 00:28:52.079 --> 00:28:55.559 come so far out of this season. With the Clippers team that has been 396 00:28:55.640 --> 00:28:59.960 consistently inconsistent. People ask me what's their identity. Unfortunately that's what it is 397 00:29:00.200 --> 00:29:04.160 so far, but that can change very quickly. We thought, and coach 398 00:29:04.279 --> 00:29:08.000 lu said this recently. He thought they were close to ripping off a run 399 00:29:08.079 --> 00:29:12.200 eight of ten, ten of twelve, something like that. And now they've 400 00:29:12.240 --> 00:29:18.039 won three in a row after losing nine of eleven, they've won three in 401 00:29:18.079 --> 00:29:22.400 a row, and there are some very positive signs and reasons to be optimistic 402 00:29:22.799 --> 00:29:27.960 about this Clippers team, including anytime you beat the Lakers. I know it 403 00:29:27.960 --> 00:29:34.079 feels good Clipper Nation, but they got their eyes on bigger prizes. They've 404 00:29:34.119 --> 00:29:38.359 done this, They've been here and done that against the Lakers. Now to 405 00:29:38.440 --> 00:29:42.400 survive a game where Lebron James has forty six in a career high and nine 406 00:29:42.440 --> 00:29:47.680 made threes, it's impressive. They took their best shot in some ways. 407 00:29:48.119 --> 00:29:51.680 But they still don't have Anthony Davis. For being fair, they still don't 408 00:29:51.720 --> 00:29:59.000 have Austin Reeves. They still are missing some guys Lonnie Walker. Clippers could 409 00:29:59.079 --> 00:30:00.759 use Luke Kennard though, but that's what was so impressive to me. They 410 00:30:00.799 --> 00:30:04.079 go fifteen or twenty from the outside of fifteen or twenty three from the outside 411 00:30:04.119 --> 00:30:10.519 in the first half and Luke Kennard isn't even available yet. The three point 412 00:30:10.599 --> 00:30:12.759 shooting on this team, they're sixth right now, they might be bumped up 413 00:30:12.759 --> 00:30:18.279 to fifth in the league, and three point shooting they have a higher ceiling 414 00:30:18.319 --> 00:30:23.759 than that. We know this pretty much the same crew that shot over forty 415 00:30:23.799 --> 00:30:27.799 one percent in the season during the twenty twenty one a year is still with 416 00:30:27.839 --> 00:30:32.880 the Clippers. They're even better, I think from the outside. Personnel wise, 417 00:30:33.759 --> 00:30:37.400 they just haven't had Kawai and Paul George on the court enough to get 418 00:30:37.400 --> 00:30:40.839 as many of those open shots. But you see what happens with the gravity 419 00:30:40.839 --> 00:30:44.359 of those two players who superstars, the two on three connection. It just 420 00:30:44.440 --> 00:30:48.640 opens up the floor for everybody. Damien and Los Angeles. I'm going back 421 00:30:48.680 --> 00:30:51.319 to you, Damian, what's up? You're on Clipper stop without a Muslin? 422 00:30:52.279 --> 00:31:00.039 Hey? Hey, hey hey many Yeah, man, we did that 423 00:31:00.240 --> 00:31:06.799 was a slid victory. I'm happy that they kind of got their little bit 424 00:31:06.799 --> 00:31:11.440 of Bob Marley redemption song on national television. Yeah. I like that. 425 00:31:12.599 --> 00:31:17.400 I don't know if it was it was that serious, and thank you for 426 00:31:17.400 --> 00:31:22.119 the phone called Damian. We lost you there once again. But they need 427 00:31:22.160 --> 00:31:25.839 wins right now. They just have to start stacking them. They didn't play 428 00:31:25.920 --> 00:31:29.519 great defense against the San Antonio Spurs, but Norman Pale said it post game. 429 00:31:29.559 --> 00:31:33.720 We just gotta get victories. It's not so much about style points. 430 00:31:33.960 --> 00:31:37.559 You love to see it as they continue to build good habits, but it 431 00:31:37.640 --> 00:31:42.839 starts with victories. They need them because the West, there is still room 432 00:31:42.920 --> 00:31:47.480 to maneuver. In fact is I'm looking over the NBA standings, and that's 433 00:31:47.519 --> 00:31:52.079 another reason this was a big game, because you don't want to fall into 434 00:31:52.160 --> 00:31:56.240 play in tournament territory, and the Clippers were dangerously close and still are. 435 00:31:57.319 --> 00:32:00.920 So they are the five seat now you know, they have the tiebreaker over 436 00:32:00.960 --> 00:32:04.960 the Dallas Mavericks, but also a better record now at twenty six and twenty 437 00:32:04.960 --> 00:32:09.079 four Dallas at twenty five and twenty four because they lost earlier. But the 438 00:32:09.119 --> 00:32:14.960 Clippers nine games back of the Denver Nuggets, who have made that push and 439 00:32:15.160 --> 00:32:17.240 are nine and one of their last ten games and may run away with being 440 00:32:17.319 --> 00:32:22.519 the number one seed them in Memphis. Both those teams they've separated themselves. 441 00:32:22.519 --> 00:32:27.359 Some Clippers are seven and a half games back of the Grizzlies. There's just 442 00:32:27.440 --> 00:32:30.799 seven games back, I should say, but there are only a few games 443 00:32:30.799 --> 00:32:35.359 back, a game and a half back of the fourth spot right in front 444 00:32:35.400 --> 00:32:39.400 of them, the New Orleans Pelicans still without Zion. That would be big. 445 00:32:39.680 --> 00:32:45.400 I said before. You'd feel a lot better having a top four seed 446 00:32:45.759 --> 00:32:51.240 and home court in the first round. And the Clippers right now they're heading 447 00:32:51.240 --> 00:32:54.519 and trending in the right direction, moving upwards. How howie? And they 448 00:32:54.519 --> 00:32:58.440 eight one eight? Howie? What's up? You're on? Clippers stop without 449 00:32:58.440 --> 00:33:00.880 amazin? Oh hey there, man, just coming back from the game. 450 00:33:00.960 --> 00:33:06.759 Great game. One thing I was impressed about tonight was when the Lakers made 451 00:33:06.759 --> 00:33:10.039 their run there at the end of the fourth quarter. The Clippers really, 452 00:33:10.279 --> 00:33:14.880 uh, you know, they could have easily kind of turned in or but 453 00:33:14.920 --> 00:33:16.319 they stood up. I always have to play when George fell on the ground 454 00:33:16.359 --> 00:33:22.160 and battling for it, yeah, and then eventually Kawai came, they found 455 00:33:22.240 --> 00:33:25.440 him. That was the play that started things for an Adol run and that 456 00:33:25.519 --> 00:33:30.400 put the Lakers away. Yeah. And that's what really impressed me, is, 457 00:33:30.599 --> 00:33:31.440 you know, because the crowd was really that when you know, it 458 00:33:31.519 --> 00:33:36.400 really gets electric in there when the Lakers started making the run. And uh, 459 00:33:36.559 --> 00:33:38.079 another thing impressed me. There were a lot of Clippers fans there tonight, 460 00:33:38.440 --> 00:33:42.200 more than I thought because I've been to a couple of Lakers home games 461 00:33:42.200 --> 00:33:45.240 for the Clippers. But when the Clippers made runs, there were a lot 462 00:33:45.279 --> 00:33:47.319 of Clipper fans that were, you know, loud, So that was that 463 00:33:47.400 --> 00:33:51.279 was good to see. So but yeah, that was a big win for 464 00:33:51.319 --> 00:33:52.559 the Clippers. That was really that was really they're really looking good right now. 465 00:33:52.599 --> 00:33:55.680 They're really playing good. Howie. I appreciate the phone call, Glad 466 00:33:55.720 --> 00:34:00.599 you enjoyed the ball game. Another area of the Clippers died dominated in and 467 00:34:00.640 --> 00:34:06.480 they needed to, but they won the rebounding battle forty seven to thirty two. 468 00:34:07.759 --> 00:34:12.159 That's big time. And you know who led them in that area once 469 00:34:12.199 --> 00:34:15.920 again, I think there's a second straight game. Kawhi Leonard had nine boards. 470 00:34:15.239 --> 00:34:20.760 He and Paul George had nine boards. They combined for eighteen to the 471 00:34:20.880 --> 00:34:23.840 forty seven Big Zoo with eight. But Nicholas but Toomb off the bench. 472 00:34:23.920 --> 00:34:28.800 Don't underestimate his performance, six boards, six assists. I know he had 473 00:34:28.840 --> 00:34:32.440 just four points who cares. He had a block as well, but Toombo 474 00:34:32.599 --> 00:34:37.280 showed up block tombs. No what Eagle likes to say. As well, 475 00:34:38.480 --> 00:34:42.639 there were a lot of good contributions. And I've gone too long without mentioning 476 00:34:42.639 --> 00:34:46.239 Reggie Jackson, who hit the big three pointer in that eight ozho stretch. 477 00:34:46.519 --> 00:34:52.039 And Reggie, I want to say, started three of three from distance as 478 00:34:52.039 --> 00:34:54.599 the Clippers were that hot from the outside, but he had the floater going. 479 00:34:55.079 --> 00:35:00.719 He hit some tough layups, but yeah, four of seven the outside. 480 00:35:00.760 --> 00:35:04.039 Reggie shows up for these games in a big way. Something of concern 481 00:35:04.119 --> 00:35:06.679 though. Marcus Morris got off to a quick start. He hit a three 482 00:35:06.719 --> 00:35:12.400 pointer but then went out ribs contusion. You saw him holding his chest area. 483 00:35:12.840 --> 00:35:15.400 He only played ten minutes, so that's something we're monitoring. We're also 484 00:35:15.400 --> 00:35:21.239 looking for postgame audio from coach Low. Clippers win one thirty three to one 485 00:35:21.320 --> 00:35:28.519 fifteen over the Lakers again ten straight now over the Los Angeles Lakers, who, 486 00:35:28.559 --> 00:35:32.599 if you're wondering, they are still in the thirteenth spot, so they 487 00:35:32.719 --> 00:35:39.320 dropped down in the standings at twenty two and twenty six. Clippers really concerned 488 00:35:39.320 --> 00:35:44.719 about themselves, though I've said this throughout most of the season, and he'd 489 00:35:44.719 --> 00:35:47.199 be less concerned about the opposition and who they're playing that night and more concerned 490 00:35:47.199 --> 00:35:53.400 of how they're playing, because most nights the talent disparity is in their favor. 491 00:35:54.920 --> 00:35:59.840 They just gotta show up and start playing consistent basketball. Kawhi Leonard was 492 00:35:59.840 --> 00:36:02.760 asked about if they had turned a quarter. I'm paraphrasing, but this was 493 00:36:02.800 --> 00:36:07.800 from Andrew Grife of the La Times post game after the victory Sunday against Dallas, 494 00:36:08.480 --> 00:36:13.679 and he didn't think so yet because he wants to see consistency in every 495 00:36:13.719 --> 00:36:17.800 area and that's the truth. That's where it has to be. They've been 496 00:36:17.840 --> 00:36:23.039 consistently inconsistent. Is this the start to where the Clippers find themselves and build 497 00:36:23.079 --> 00:36:27.920 up that identity and get back to plan like the great defensive team we saw 498 00:36:27.960 --> 00:36:31.480 the first quarter of the year, along with the offense coming along, that 499 00:36:31.639 --> 00:36:36.719 would be the move because most championship teams top ten in both of those areas. 500 00:36:37.360 --> 00:36:39.280 More Clipper stock. Next, we'll talk with William Mupdyke from Clips and 501 00:36:39.320 --> 00:36:43.280 Tip and get back to your phone calls eight six six ninety seven two five 502 00:36:43.400 --> 00:36:47.719 seventy eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy. I madam Osla. 503 00:36:47.800 --> 00:36:51.760 This is Clipper stock. If you're on Amp five seventy LA S four pretty 504 00:36:52.400 --> 00:37:07.159 rigging that the Mandans Clippers win one thirty three to one fifteen over the Los 505 00:37:07.239 --> 00:37:12.039 Angeles Lakers. Welcome back into your post game shell. This is Clippers talk. 506 00:37:12.079 --> 00:37:15.639 I'm out of maslin eight six six ninety seven two five seventy eight six 507 00:37:15.719 --> 00:37:20.719 six ninety seven two five seventy is the phone number. We'll get back to 508 00:37:20.719 --> 00:37:22.880 your phone calls. A couple of numbers. I want to mansion here. 509 00:37:22.880 --> 00:37:28.440 Coming into the ball game, we knew the Lakers have been terrorizing teams in 510 00:37:28.519 --> 00:37:30.920 the paint. They are very good in that area, getting into the teeth 511 00:37:30.960 --> 00:37:35.199 of the defense, getting to the free throw line, or just getting a 512 00:37:35.199 --> 00:37:38.159 lot of easy buckets. Well, the Clippers matched them in paint points fifty 513 00:37:38.440 --> 00:37:44.599 fifty in fast break points, another area of concern coming in keys of the 514 00:37:44.599 --> 00:37:47.880 ball game, can't get let the Lakers get into transition. Clippers matched them 515 00:37:47.920 --> 00:37:53.039 there eleven fast break points for each squad. So they took away a couple 516 00:37:53.079 --> 00:37:58.559 of the strengths from the Lakers and made them their own. Great to see 517 00:37:58.599 --> 00:38:01.519 that, like Rogue and X been sapping their powers. All right, let's 518 00:38:01.519 --> 00:38:06.519 go to William Updike, our friend from Clips and Dip here on Clippers Talk 519 00:38:06.559 --> 00:38:09.199 a Little Clips and Double Dip Clips and Dip. Great podcast with myself and 520 00:38:09.320 --> 00:38:15.079 Charles Mockler as well. Follow at Clippers Pod. Will I thought the tone 521 00:38:15.119 --> 00:38:19.880 was set early by Kauai. He was playing fast, had their first four 522 00:38:20.000 --> 00:38:23.920 points, They had that nine nothing lead, and really I thought played one 523 00:38:23.960 --> 00:38:28.800 of their better games on both ends. Outside of that third quarter. This 524 00:38:28.880 --> 00:38:34.599 was a pretty impressive victory for the Clippers, all things considered, All things 525 00:38:34.639 --> 00:38:37.840 considered totally. I mean, I think you were talking about talking about how 526 00:38:37.880 --> 00:38:40.079 the Clippers had hit like seven of their first threes and it was still like 527 00:38:40.119 --> 00:38:45.039 a still a close game through that first quarter. I think they only had 528 00:38:45.079 --> 00:38:50.239 like a seven point lead, but really, both stars came in to start 529 00:38:50.239 --> 00:38:52.400 this one. Paul George had twelve in the first I mean, they set 530 00:38:52.400 --> 00:38:58.239 the tone really really early. Obviously the best first half for the Clippers all 531 00:38:58.400 --> 00:39:02.000 season long, and they really just set the tone though on both ends of 532 00:39:02.039 --> 00:39:06.599 the floor. The only thing that kept continuing like continuing to kind of kill 533 00:39:06.639 --> 00:39:09.000 them was there were some stretches there where I thought Whenny and Gabriel, Whenny 534 00:39:09.039 --> 00:39:14.679 and Gabriel was really doing well against the underside Clippers, and then of course 535 00:39:15.079 --> 00:39:19.880 the you know, we didn't we didn't necessarily have an answer for Lebron James 536 00:39:19.960 --> 00:39:23.079 hitting nine threes. But I think that that is also a little bit by 537 00:39:23.159 --> 00:39:27.920 design, like you alluded to, you know, keeping keeping the Lakers out 538 00:39:27.960 --> 00:39:31.800 of the paint. I think they are thirtieth in the league in points points 539 00:39:31.840 --> 00:39:37.599 per game, three pointers by like, by the presentage of their points, 540 00:39:37.679 --> 00:39:40.360 So it's not how they make a lot of their offense. So generally, 541 00:39:40.559 --> 00:39:44.519 if those are looks that they're they're looking to take, will give them up. 542 00:39:44.719 --> 00:39:47.519 And you know, Lebron was hot from three early and that wasn't even 543 00:39:47.920 --> 00:39:52.400 it wasn't even uncontested or wide open looks. They were shots sometimes without even 544 00:39:52.400 --> 00:39:57.920 a single path, with Zubos right there at the point of attack guarding them. 545 00:39:57.960 --> 00:40:00.800 So some of those like aren't even great shot. But yeah, I 546 00:40:01.199 --> 00:40:06.320 thought they set the tone on both ends of the flour. And then one 547 00:40:06.360 --> 00:40:08.199 thing other than that third quarter, which we do have to talk about, 548 00:40:08.199 --> 00:40:13.119 because like twenty was a twenty one total points. That was a bit of 549 00:40:13.159 --> 00:40:16.719 a stinker. I didn't I wasn't in love with the way that they closed 550 00:40:16.840 --> 00:40:22.280 quarters kind of overall, outside of the first where Terrence Man hit the big 551 00:40:22.320 --> 00:40:24.199 three point or the thirty footer, I wouldn't get a little bit of a 552 00:40:24.280 --> 00:40:28.800 dip though before that they did, because you're right, when you go seven 553 00:40:28.840 --> 00:40:32.159 of thirteen from three in the first quarter, you should probably be leading by 554 00:40:32.199 --> 00:40:37.480 more than seven. But I'll say this, there were outliers from the Clippers, 555 00:40:37.519 --> 00:40:43.800 but certainly the Lebron James three point shooting, going nine to fourteen from 556 00:40:43.800 --> 00:40:47.199 the outside went over the last six games, he was eleven of forty three 557 00:40:47.559 --> 00:40:52.679 from three. That's just twenty five point six percent. That's probably a bigger 558 00:40:52.679 --> 00:40:55.400 outlier than what the Clippers were able to do because we've seen this team get 559 00:40:55.480 --> 00:41:00.159 super hot from three and be one of the best three point shooting teams for 560 00:41:00.199 --> 00:41:02.440 a long time. But you pick your poison, you play the odds, 561 00:41:02.840 --> 00:41:07.159 and you live with the results something Lebron James, and I don't know if 562 00:41:07.159 --> 00:41:09.960 you got that from coach lou but he has always said that, you know, 563 00:41:10.360 --> 00:41:13.719 you play the odds, you live with the results a little bit. 564 00:41:13.920 --> 00:41:16.559 Lebron got his forty six points, but the Clippers still win by eighteen. 565 00:41:16.960 --> 00:41:21.119 Yeah, that third quarter you bring that up. I want to say three 566 00:41:21.159 --> 00:41:25.599 of their twelve turnovers came there, but they were just backbreaking, live turnovers, 567 00:41:25.639 --> 00:41:30.559 just careless passes, sloppy basketball. Clippers only score twenty one points on 568 00:41:30.639 --> 00:41:35.039 the third the Lakers had twenty eight. And the Clippers had been much better 569 00:41:35.039 --> 00:41:37.440 in third quarters. But it was a rare sight to see them that ahead 570 00:41:37.480 --> 00:41:42.159 at the half with twenty three or up by twenty three, and they kind 571 00:41:42.159 --> 00:41:43.920 of took their foot off the gas a little bit. It looked like, 572 00:41:45.559 --> 00:41:50.119 Yeah, that's what it felt like. Do you alluded those light ball turnovers? 573 00:41:50.159 --> 00:41:52.280 Like there was a couple just like back to back. It was like 574 00:41:52.320 --> 00:41:55.719 a real I mean, points slayers can happen, and any team could come 575 00:41:55.760 --> 00:42:00.280 back in especially you know, like when you have a player looking to his 576 00:42:00.360 --> 00:42:04.239 first forty against the Clippers, which, man, who what Clippers fan is 577 00:42:04.280 --> 00:42:07.840 ever going to forget the time Lebron James dropped forty on him finally, you 578 00:42:07.880 --> 00:42:13.039 know, But it did feel like there was a little bit of a of 579 00:42:14.000 --> 00:42:16.800 a loss there. It also like the three point shooting really fall back to 580 00:42:16.840 --> 00:42:21.559 earth. We were one of nine in that quarter, so that is also 581 00:42:21.599 --> 00:42:24.880 an outlier. Another outlier from this game which we haven't talked about. Despite 582 00:42:24.920 --> 00:42:30.800 having a strong game overall, Russell Westbrook ended up hitting more threes than Kawhi 583 00:42:30.880 --> 00:42:37.039 Leonard, which I think that is probably a larger outlier, maybe even then, 584 00:42:37.360 --> 00:42:42.119 maybe even then nine Lebron pries he went one of four. Kawhi went 585 00:42:42.639 --> 00:42:45.320 four from the outside in a game where they hit nineteen. Kawhi didn't get 586 00:42:45.320 --> 00:42:50.119 one, and he's been shooting above fifty percent from the outside his last ten 587 00:42:50.559 --> 00:42:54.239 coming into this game. But we mentioned setting the tone and defensive intensity, 588 00:42:55.159 --> 00:43:01.719 Kawui being a defensive anchor at times when they and small with wingstop in norm 589 00:43:01.760 --> 00:43:07.639 out there, Norman Reggie, and he has a block on Wantascano Anderson he 590 00:43:07.679 --> 00:43:12.800 erases one, but the one that he swatted on Lebron was so emphatic in 591 00:43:12.880 --> 00:43:15.679 the second half, it was just like, Okay, yeah, Kawhi Kawai 592 00:43:15.880 --> 00:43:20.519 wants to be known as the best player in the game again, Like it's 593 00:43:20.559 --> 00:43:23.960 all it's it's lining up like that and where it was back when he first 594 00:43:24.000 --> 00:43:29.960 came to the Clippers, you know, and you know you talk about him 595 00:43:30.000 --> 00:43:31.559 being the anchor, which he definitely is. It's one of those things I've 596 00:43:31.559 --> 00:43:37.800 never really understood about the criticisms of Kauai, that he's not a leader, 597 00:43:37.880 --> 00:43:40.159 that he's not vocal, but he's not this, that he's not that like 598 00:43:40.559 --> 00:43:45.719 if not just Kawai being on the floor, Like it's not just his defense 599 00:43:45.079 --> 00:43:51.039 single handedly elevating the defense of everybody else. It is like contagious what he's 600 00:43:51.079 --> 00:43:54.079 doing. Watching Kawhi, like just the inevitability of how he plays, I 601 00:43:54.079 --> 00:44:00.000 think gives everyone around him confidence and it makes everybody else better on that end. 602 00:44:00.039 --> 00:44:02.440 And I thought there were some lineups, like some two guard lineups that 603 00:44:02.480 --> 00:44:06.039 we were able to get that we were able to get away with a little 604 00:44:06.079 --> 00:44:09.800 bit better, even being somewhat undersized at times. I did. I did 605 00:44:09.840 --> 00:44:15.880 think that Darvin Ham did a good job of trying to exploit some of those 606 00:44:15.880 --> 00:44:20.360 sides mitsat mismatches. Robert Covington, I thought early even to start like he 607 00:44:20.559 --> 00:44:22.800 was having a bit of a rough game with him in that five position. 608 00:44:23.039 --> 00:44:27.039 I noticed Tywee a little bit later went to a larger front court with him 609 00:44:27.239 --> 00:44:32.239 and Zoo to combat that a little bit. You mentioned Paul George and him 610 00:44:32.280 --> 00:44:37.320 getting off to the hot start where I think he took seven shots in the 611 00:44:37.400 --> 00:44:40.960 first quarter. He took four shots in the first half. Against Dallas on 612 00:44:42.079 --> 00:44:45.320 Sunday, he ends up taking more shots than Kawhi Leonard. He takes twenty 613 00:44:45.760 --> 00:44:51.000 to get his twenty seven, but some of the pop from him the putback 614 00:44:51.199 --> 00:44:54.599 jam in the third quarter, the way he slided through defenders in the second 615 00:44:54.679 --> 00:44:59.679 quarter with a euro step to get a tough layoup, another one high off 616 00:44:59.679 --> 00:45:02.440 the g in the fourth quarter. He hit big shots and was just so 617 00:45:02.639 --> 00:45:07.719 engaged throughout the entire contest. In his thirty six minutes, he was so 618 00:45:07.880 --> 00:45:12.840 engaged, like despite you know, I didn't think he was getting a really 619 00:45:12.920 --> 00:45:15.719 friendly whistle. He got called for a couple of like two different defensive follows 620 00:45:15.760 --> 00:45:19.639 that I think probably could have been challenged and would have held up. He 621 00:45:19.679 --> 00:45:22.800 didn't hang his head there. You know, only only went to the line 622 00:45:22.920 --> 00:45:27.280 two times, He only had two free throw tests all games, only shot 623 00:45:27.360 --> 00:45:30.599 thirty three percent from three, still rattled off twenty seven points. Like I 624 00:45:31.239 --> 00:45:35.280 thought, the game looked like it was coming very easily to him. He 625 00:45:35.400 --> 00:45:37.639 just looked he just looked like, you know, the Paul George that you 626 00:45:37.679 --> 00:45:42.360 want to see. It's like when the gears start to click, and you 627 00:45:42.480 --> 00:45:45.880 list and you take the clutch off and put in the gas and it just 628 00:45:45.119 --> 00:45:51.360 goes. I love that from Paul George. I wasn't like he had some 629 00:45:51.679 --> 00:45:53.559 he had some bad turnovers. We talked about some of the love ball turnovers. 630 00:45:53.599 --> 00:45:57.119 In this game. He had a one to one assist the turnover ratio 631 00:45:57.320 --> 00:46:00.719 four to four, which you know he's going to be handling more point duties, 632 00:46:01.000 --> 00:46:04.880 more turnovers are going to come, and I think that, you know, 633 00:46:05.039 --> 00:46:08.079 you take the I think that you can take some of the trade off 634 00:46:08.119 --> 00:46:15.519 of that if he's able to stay aggressive offensively and able. Like I still 635 00:46:15.559 --> 00:46:17.519 think even despite some of those live all turnovers, he has some brilliant moments 636 00:46:17.599 --> 00:46:21.840 defensively as well. Yeah, I agree with you. You kind of take 637 00:46:21.880 --> 00:46:24.880 the good with the bad there if it keeps him in rhythm and hands on 638 00:46:24.960 --> 00:46:30.159 the basketball and just being a part of the offense and not deferring too much. 639 00:46:30.239 --> 00:46:35.920 We've seen that often this season. Norman Powell. Certainly, when he 640 00:46:35.960 --> 00:46:38.760 gets the ball in his hands, it's just zero to one hundred real quick. 641 00:46:38.840 --> 00:46:42.760 He had eleven points in the second quarter. I want to say it 642 00:46:42.880 --> 00:46:45.639 started three or four or four or four from the outside. He also had 643 00:46:45.639 --> 00:46:50.280 a great pass to a Vita Zubos for a dump to start the fourth norm 644 00:46:50.360 --> 00:46:53.519 though, is just I hope he's not peeking, but it looks like that 645 00:46:54.119 --> 00:46:59.320 right now he's at least more comfortable than he has been in his role as 646 00:46:59.400 --> 00:47:04.199 a Clipper, especially now playing next to Kawaii and Paul George again. Oh 647 00:47:04.360 --> 00:47:07.360 absolutely, And he was like on another level of the night. He was 648 00:47:07.440 --> 00:47:13.480 hitting like such deep, heat checked shots Like it was so surprising because it 649 00:47:13.519 --> 00:47:15.679 seemed like there were there were some points where the Lakers felt like they might 650 00:47:15.760 --> 00:47:20.480 be content to really just let us go back and forth from deep, which 651 00:47:21.360 --> 00:47:25.800 with the shooters on this roster is just absolutely unconscionable. Uh No, he 652 00:47:27.199 --> 00:47:30.400 is. He is snapping into form. I think that it's helped him like 653 00:47:31.840 --> 00:47:36.400 have a little bit more idea of his role. I think the things that 654 00:47:36.639 --> 00:47:40.719 were so frustrating about Power early on was just it was very clear that he 655 00:47:40.840 --> 00:47:45.679 was trying to do a lot whilst coming back from an injury, Walst trying 656 00:47:45.719 --> 00:47:49.039 to you know, sort of establish himself in this lineup. And I still 657 00:47:49.119 --> 00:47:52.280 think there are changes to be made of his role. I still think that 658 00:47:52.360 --> 00:47:54.320 it is a possibility that we could see him in a starter role, even 659 00:47:54.360 --> 00:47:59.119 though I really do like him coming off the bench with that sort of like 660 00:47:59.280 --> 00:48:01.599 extra punch, with that sort of like extra arrow and the quiver, so 661 00:48:01.760 --> 00:48:06.440 to speak. But no, he he is coming back into form. I 662 00:48:06.519 --> 00:48:08.719 mean, he's just the guy who like he can sleepwalk his way to twenty 663 00:48:09.159 --> 00:48:13.960 to twenty points a game like it's it's that easy for him offensively, and 664 00:48:14.719 --> 00:48:17.960 you know, with with Kawai and Paul George, you know, in the 665 00:48:19.079 --> 00:48:22.119 game around him able to cover up for some of that defensively. You know, 666 00:48:22.239 --> 00:48:27.960 there's there's there's less drawbacks certainly than when we you know, we had 667 00:48:28.039 --> 00:48:31.360 our struggles playing multiple guards and trying to figure out those rotations early on. 668 00:48:31.880 --> 00:48:35.599 Uh, you know, when the two stars are playing like that on both 669 00:48:35.679 --> 00:48:37.719 ends of the floor, it makes a lot of things work. Surprise, 670 00:48:37.800 --> 00:48:42.440 surprise. You know, you mentioned him at some point maybe being in the 671 00:48:42.480 --> 00:48:45.679 starting role, but obviously Terrence Mann is working right now. And somehow I 672 00:48:46.000 --> 00:48:50.039 kind of had a quiet seventeen I want to say, in some ways. 673 00:48:50.320 --> 00:48:52.840 Of course, he hit some big shots. He hit four three pointers, 674 00:48:52.440 --> 00:48:57.559 and he was the beneficiary of what would have been a turnover from Paul George 675 00:48:57.639 --> 00:49:00.719 throwing the ball off of beats the Zoobot's back and go to the hands of 676 00:49:00.840 --> 00:49:02.800 Terrence Man. He gets an easy one, and it was kind of that 677 00:49:02.960 --> 00:49:07.440 type of night for the Clippers. But he also had a steal and got 678 00:49:07.480 --> 00:49:09.920 it to Paul George for a dunk. Just doing some of those little things. 679 00:49:10.000 --> 00:49:15.599 But I love him in that opening lineup because the Clippers need juice, 680 00:49:15.679 --> 00:49:20.760 They need somebody who gets downhill, and he just brings that consistent energy. 681 00:49:20.880 --> 00:49:22.800 And you know, one of his idols or one of his mentors, Patrick 682 00:49:22.840 --> 00:49:28.440 Beverley, kind of taught him that. Oh absolutely absolutely, And I'm not 683 00:49:28.519 --> 00:49:31.559 saying he should be supplanted, but I think I think quiet is the right 684 00:49:31.599 --> 00:49:36.079 way to put it. But I don't mean that. I don't mean that 685 00:49:36.239 --> 00:49:39.480 in a negative or pejorative way towards Terrence. Like he just fifths so well 686 00:49:40.360 --> 00:49:44.079 that it's not something you really even have to think about a lot of the 687 00:49:44.159 --> 00:49:46.360 time. And he's just in the right place at the right time to come 688 00:49:46.480 --> 00:49:50.519 up with those big plays. I mean, you mentioned the bother beater. 689 00:49:51.039 --> 00:49:54.000 He had some highlights within a game where like he just I mean, he's 690 00:49:54.039 --> 00:50:00.159 like a batum level blue guy that. Yeah, that that makes everything kind 691 00:50:00.199 --> 00:50:02.199 of sit together, and then you look at the box scoring you're like, 692 00:50:02.239 --> 00:50:06.679 wow, Terence Mann also almost went off for twenty, Like we almost had 693 00:50:07.159 --> 00:50:10.719 four twenty points to scorers. Yeah, hi, if you count five, 694 00:50:10.880 --> 00:50:14.000 way to count Reggie. I mean he was a one point away too. 695 00:50:14.280 --> 00:50:17.239 He's like that left tackle that never really gives up a sack but doesn't get 696 00:50:17.280 --> 00:50:21.800 his name called a lot because of that. You know, he's so reliable 697 00:50:21.840 --> 00:50:25.320 and consistent out there five to ten for his seventeen because he hit four three 698 00:50:25.400 --> 00:50:29.519 pointers, including yeah, that was a loud one to in the first quarter. 699 00:50:29.639 --> 00:50:34.519 Of course, Clippers win one thirty three to one fifteen over the Lakers. 700 00:50:34.599 --> 00:50:37.119 He is William Updyke from the Cliffs and Dip pod with myself and Charles 701 00:50:37.239 --> 00:50:42.679 Mockler.

Lebron's going off. He's 709 00:51:15.239 --> 00:51:17.559 got forty six, a career high nine main three pointers. It's a ten 710 00:51:17.639 --> 00:51:21.480 point game. The Lakers just came back on our team down twenty five. 711 00:51:21.559 --> 00:51:24.400 They won a close one late against Memphis and broke their eleven game winning streak. 712 00:51:25.159 --> 00:51:29.519 And the Clippers two one three connections stepped up when they had to and 713 00:51:29.679 --> 00:51:32.440 made huge plays on both ends for them to pull away in this one. 714 00:51:34.119 --> 00:51:37.239 More Clipper stock next year. In AMP five seventy Light Sports, it's rock 715 00:51:37.320 --> 00:51:53.960 toppt the number after the doe on the range, give me mayl come Leppers 716 00:51:53.960 --> 00:51:58.280 to do it again.

That boy he backed man, he is, He's strong. 721 00:52:16.800 --> 00:52:21.519 The difference between the Clippers now and the Clippers before. They got some spirit. 722 00:52:21.639 --> 00:52:23.559 Now they got some spirit. Now you saw it. Remember that blocket 723 00:52:23.639 --> 00:52:28.159 he put a duel man put on Lebrun.

I said this here a day, but we saw him come 728 00:52:44.280 --> 00:52:49.159 back better than ever from his injury in San Antonio. Is the same thing 729 00:52:49.280 --> 00:52:53.159 going to happen now coming off to acl where we see still the best version 730 00:52:53.880 --> 00:53:00.400 of Kawhi Leonard is yet to come.
