4
00:00:15.599 --> 00:00:19.559
Breaking down today's action with the pre
and post game voice. If you're

5
00:00:19.719 --> 00:00:24.559
LA Clippers, they're locking in every
game every night. Adam Osland. The

6
00:00:24.640 --> 00:00:31.079
Clippers win in Atlanta one forty four
over the Hawks, and with that they

7
00:00:31.160 --> 00:00:35.920
go six in one on the Grammy
Road Trip, their most successful Grammy road

8
00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:40.240
trip in franchise history. Welcome into
your postgame show. I'm at am Oslin

9
00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:43.000
coming up on AM five to seventy
LA Sports and just a bit, we'll

10
00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:46.719
have clipperstock for you eight six six
ninety seven two five seventy eight six six

11
00:00:46.840 --> 00:00:50.000
ninety seven two five seventy. But
while we have a moment, let's pause

12
00:00:50.039 --> 00:00:54.719
ten seconds for station identification. Here
on the Los Angeles Clippers Audio Network,

13
00:00:55.520 --> 00:01:00.719
this is LA Clippers Basketball. AM
five to seventy KLAC law Los Angeles,

14
00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:06.519
ninety eight seven KYSR HD two Los
Angeles and iHeartRadio station. Let's get back

15
00:01:06.519 --> 00:01:10.879
to your radio voice of the Clippers
in Atlanta. That would be Carlo Jimenez.

16
00:01:10.879 --> 00:01:12.879
Well, Carlo, they did it. They went six and one,

17
00:01:14.040 --> 00:01:17.680
and now the Clippers have won thirty
one of their last thirty nine games,

18
00:01:17.719 --> 00:01:22.920
twenty six of their last thirty one
since December, and sixteen of their last

19
00:01:22.959 --> 00:01:25.959
twenty What can you say about this
ball club? I mean, Adam,

20
00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:30.000
you set you even talked about it. I mean, they set these high

21
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:34.200
bars for themselves and you're like,
yeah, maybe maybe they could go six

22
00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:38.640
and one, and they were a
couple plays away from going seven and zero

23
00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:42.239
on this road trip if things go
right for them over there in Cleveland.

24
00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:46.799
What an impressive couple of wins for
this team. They did it in all

25
00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:49.760
different sorts of ways. They showed
all facets of their game, hitting a

26
00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:56.680
season nine twenty one threes tonight,
and they continue to battle. It really

27
00:01:56.719 --> 00:02:01.200
does feel like something special is brewing
the Clippers with a way they are taking

28
00:02:01.239 --> 00:02:05.840
on teams right now, with the
way they're dominating in different ways. They're

29
00:02:05.879 --> 00:02:07.479
not relying on one player. I
mean, you heard Daniel Tye said it.

30
00:02:07.759 --> 00:02:12.560
Yes, Kawhi Leonard's been excellent.
They got double figures tonight from three

31
00:02:12.560 --> 00:02:15.759
guys off the bench, Tys was
one point away, three guys in the

32
00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:19.080
starting lineup, and t Man was
one point away. Plumbley was two points

33
00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:23.520
away. Everyone contributed in this game, and they did it in a big

34
00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:29.319
way tonight. It was fun to
watch the Clippers get it done. Six

35
00:02:29.439 --> 00:02:32.800
players in double figures. Kawhi Leonard
led them with thirty six, James Harden

36
00:02:32.879 --> 00:02:38.000
with thirty and the shot of the
ball game another four point play this time

37
00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:43.080
was able to lure in. It
was Trey Young committing the foul. It

38
00:02:43.159 --> 00:02:46.360
was a huge shot and the Clippers
big four plus a mere coffee, they

39
00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:50.039
were able to close this one out. I mean, have out a mirror,

40
00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:53.680
how about a mere Adam He was
on the bench to start the season,

41
00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:57.439
he wasn't even playing, and on
a back to back on the road

42
00:02:57.479 --> 00:03:01.879
in Atlanta, he is the man
down the stretch thirteen points, two for

43
00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:06.919
four from three to assists. He
was accellently getting his hands in the passing

44
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:09.960
lane, something that has been so
fun to watch. His ability on the

45
00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:13.960
defensive end. When you heard it
with Tylerui, he asked him yesterday,

46
00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:15.719
how has Amir been so good?
And you gotta give a lot of credit

47
00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:21.479
to Jeremy Castleberry, who has literally
showed a mere coffee clips of how Kawhi

48
00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:24.240
Leonard plays defense, and they have
work done that. Somebody who Tyleru said

49
00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:27.639
when he first met him, when
he first saw him play, wasn't sure

50
00:03:27.639 --> 00:03:30.000
if he was gonna be able to
play defense. Now a stalwart on the

51
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:35.560
defensive end for this Clippers team.
They just continue to have so much depth,

52
00:03:35.800 --> 00:03:38.879
so much ability to find guys who
can impact the ballgame. Even Daniel

53
00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:42.599
Tykes, I mean, didn't play
for the first time last game, comes

54
00:03:42.639 --> 00:03:46.120
in today, almost has a double
double and maybe hit a huge three to

55
00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:47.560
give the Clippers a lead going into
the fourth quarter. Clippers, by the

56
00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:52.840
way, now at NBA best thirty
and one when they have a lead entering

57
00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:55.400
the fourth quarter. The only loss, that one loss we don't remember,

58
00:03:55.400 --> 00:03:58.520
the one against Denver, you know, the one I'm talking about. Never

59
00:03:58.560 --> 00:04:00.080
heard of it. I never have
no idea. No, yeah, you

60
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:02.400
have no idea what I'm talking about. But I mean, Adam, this

61
00:04:02.439 --> 00:04:08.360
team closing down the stretch nine to
three in their last twelve clutch games.

62
00:04:09.039 --> 00:04:13.960
They are just checking every single box. It's hard to find holes in the

63
00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:16.639
Clippers right now. And how about
this, after having fifteen turnovers. Yesterday

64
00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:20.199
in Miami, they cut that in
half and then won. In this game,

65
00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:25.920
they had just seven turnovers against an
Atlanta team that was hot. They

66
00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:30.560
had one four straight obviously were their
shooting was off the charge and the Clippers

67
00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:32.480
were able to match them. Somehow, I mean, on this road trip,

68
00:04:32.480 --> 00:04:35.879
Adam, the Clippers are averaging less
than ten turnovers a game. That

69
00:04:35.920 --> 00:04:40.759
would be best in the NBA right
now. That's how good they've been at

70
00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:44.000
taking care of the basketball on the
road, where usually you're supposed to not

71
00:04:44.079 --> 00:04:46.120
be able to take care of the
basketball. I think that starts with James

72
00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:49.120
Harden. I mean when he has
the ball in his hands tennis sists tonight

73
00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:53.360
to lead the Clippers with thirty points
and eight rebounds. It just feels like

74
00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:57.360
the Clippers can do no wrong.
The bearded one who is gonna need to

75
00:04:57.399 --> 00:05:00.199
get a big time power nap in
before the next game. He has played

76
00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:05.600
eighty one minutes the last two nights
for the Clippers. Who somehow, I

77
00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:09.439
mean, I don't know who does
the scheduling over there on the NBA,

78
00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:13.519
but how are you on the road
for thirteen days and you got one day

79
00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:16.160
off before New Orleans comes in town. Doesn't get easier for the Clippers,

80
00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:20.000
but they've shown time and time again, doesn't matter the test or the situation.

81
00:05:20.319 --> 00:05:26.279
They get it done every night,
no doubt. Clippers win in Atlanta

82
00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:31.120
one forty four. They go six
in one on the Grammy road trip.

83
00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:38.040
Face some adversity, with injuries,
with quality opponents, doesn't matter, and

84
00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:41.800
now they're coming back home to take
on the Pelicans on Wednesday. Tiptom is

85
00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:46.800
at seven. Well, every pregame
show is starting at six. Carlo Jimenez

86
00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:50.480
safe traveling through the thunderstorms. We'll
see at Crypto on Wednesday. My friend,

87
00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:54.519
see you on Wednesday. Down.
I cannot wait. It's been too

88
00:05:54.600 --> 00:05:58.279
long since we've sat next to each
other. Clippers are coming back home with

89
00:05:58.600 --> 00:06:01.800
six wins. Better, I feel
inspired. You know what I'm gonna do

90
00:06:01.879 --> 00:06:05.839
it, can't wait. Let's go, Carlos, see you on Wednesday.

91
00:06:05.920 --> 00:06:12.600
See Wednesday, Adam coming up next. We got second half highlights. The

92
00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:16.079
Clippers come through late, they close
out the road trip in style. They

93
00:06:16.160 --> 00:06:20.000
win by five over the Hawks,
and you're listening to your Clippers locker room

94

98
00:06:42.639 --> 00:06:47.040
It is the most successful Grammy road
trip by the squad ever. They

99
00:06:47.079 --> 00:06:51.639
win in Atlanta one forty nine,
so one forty four over the Hawks,

100
00:06:51.639 --> 00:06:56.720

out follow Adam a on X. Let's

105
00:07:10.480 --> 00:07:15.519
get to some of those second half
highlights by the Clippers. There were plenty

106
00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:18.160
they put producer Katie Newton to work
in. This one. Game was tied

107
00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:23.399
up at sixty six at the half
after the Clippers did not close out that

108
00:07:23.519 --> 00:07:27.720
second quarter correctly, as the Hawks
went on an eight zero run in the

109
00:07:27.759 --> 00:07:30.639
final minute of the period. So
we're tied up at sixty six but to

110
00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:34.759
start the third the hot three point
shooting just kept going from both teams.

111
00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:39.319
But let's talk about your clippers.
Right corner open man three op and in

112
00:07:39.720 --> 00:07:43.120
h. He was so open he
was clapping. You heard it. Turn

00:07:43.199 --> 00:07:45.399

the ram, lobs it up. We

his own rebound, kicks it. George

Rank corner three yopsy Pg. Thirteen
with a bonus distance bucket bookmar pass Harden

116
00:07:55.519 --> 00:08:01.279

117
00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:05.360

three points hardened at the top. Left

118
00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:09.240
wing George bounce past Leonard retort three, popping in. Howhi, Leonard Knight's

119
00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:16.519
the net as good as the Clippers
were from three, Atlanta was right there

120
00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:20.240
with them, and the Clippers were
down by two with just seconds remaining in

121
00:08:20.279 --> 00:08:24.319
the third quarter. So how about
one more three point shot? Right wing?

122
00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:28.639
Tys three at the horn, Yes, Sir, Daniel Tys beats the

123
00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:33.600
fuzzer. The Clippers take a one
point lead into the fourth. They'll check

124
00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:37.879
it after the fact, but as
of now, the Clippers up one o

125
00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:41.279
two, one oh one. Huge
bucket from Daniel Ties. He had seven

126
00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:45.120
points in the third quarter and the
Clippers, Yes, we're leading one o

127
00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:48.960
two to one oh one heading into
the fourth. Early in that fourth quarter,

128
00:08:48.159 --> 00:08:54.080
it was the claw Kawhi Leonard taking
over. Leonard right wings around Bogdanovitch

129
00:08:54.159 --> 00:09:00.399
tight rooks up pick line bucks It
plus the fowl wait room work for the

with five attacks the right elbow with three

136
00:09:24.840 --> 00:09:31.039
finds Leonard in the top pump fix
with one side step football perfect. Kawhi

137
00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:37.360
Leonard is lethal. Kawhi Leonard had
thirteen of his thirty six points on the

138
00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:41.000
fourth quarter, but the biggest shot
of the game came from the bearded Wonder.

139
00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:45.679
Harden starts to creak towards the three
point line. The shot clock at

pulling playoff opportunity one. A minute and

143
00:10:01.039 --> 00:10:07.080
six seconds left, Clippers up one
forty three. They would get up by

144
00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:11.000
ten. They would knock down their
free throws late and win by five in

145
00:10:11.080 --> 00:10:16.399
Atlanta one forty nine, one forty
four, and go six in one on

146
00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:24.559
the Grammy road trip. Best regular
season run in the history of the franchise

147
00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:30.639
is happening right now. Clipper Nation, enjoy it. It's not the main

148
00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:35.919
goal, but brick by brick is
how you build those good habits leading to

149
00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:41.679
that ever so evasive Larry Ob That's
what the Clippers are after. More Clippers

post game coming up next right here
on the Los Angeles Clippers Audio Network.

00:10:54.080 --> 00:11:00.440
LA Clippers basketball. You're listening to
the LA Clippers on the LA Clippers Audio

153
00:11:00.519 --> 00:11:05.519
Network. Clippers win in Atlanta one
forty nine to one forty four. They

154
00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:09.879
go six and one on the Grammy
road trip. They're heading back home to

155
00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:13.720
take on the Pelicans on Wednesday.
Welcome back into your postgame show coming up

156
00:11:15.039 --> 00:11:18.480
in just moments, we'll have Clippers
talk on m five to seventy LA sports

157
00:11:18.519 --> 00:11:20.879
eight sixty six ninety eight seven two
five seventy eight sixty six ninety eight seven

158
00:11:20.960 --> 00:11:26.440
two fives seventy or get to me, I follow outam A. The Clippers

159
00:11:26.519 --> 00:11:33.159
end up shooting sixty percent from three. They went twenty one of thirty five

160
00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:37.879
from the outside, one more three
pointer made than the Hawks, who were

161
00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:43.480
twenty of thirty nine. The Clippers
shot fifty eight percent from the field,

162
00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:48.399
Atlanta fifty four percent. If you're
wondering how you get a score of one

163
00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:52.120
forty nine to one forty four.
Hot shooting in hot Atlanta, and both

164
00:11:52.120 --> 00:11:56.320
teams taking care of the basketball too, Clippers with just eight turnovers, Atlanta

165
00:11:56.720 --> 00:12:03.039
with eleven. But that fourth quarter
would decide things, as the Clippers outscored

166
00:12:03.080 --> 00:12:07.799
the Hawks forty seven to forty three. Kawhi Leonard led them with thirty six,

167
00:12:07.879 --> 00:12:11.799
had thirteen of his thirty six in
the fourth. James Harden had eleven

168
00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:18.080
of his thirty in the fourth quarter, plus ten assists to just two turnovers.

169
00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:24.080
Paul George Nice bounce back of fishing
game seven of thirteen, eighteen points,

170
00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:28.519
five assists, one turnover himself.
Russell Westbrook bouncing back six of ten,

171
00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:33.120
big block late leading to a mere
coffee layup and one. Russ with

172
00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:39.240
thirteen, a mere Coffee with thirteen, Norman Powell with thirteen off the bench.

173
00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:45.960
What a luxury this team has?
What depth? Clippers come through in

174
00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:50.399
the atl they win one forty nine
to one forty four. They're coming back

175
00:12:50.440 --> 00:12:56.000
home, Clipernation. I know you
can't wait to greet them. This team,

176
00:12:56.519 --> 00:13:00.519
they look special right now. Hottest
team in the league and it's not

177
00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:05.799
even close. Clippers taking on the
Pelicans Wednesday night from Crypto Tiptom at seven.

178
00:13:05.879 --> 00:13:09.279

outside of Los Angeles. We are

Henry right now your host on your
home for the Clippers, they were

188
00:13:50.960 --> 00:13:56.399
in attack mode. Adam Ousley,
move over, Taylor Swift, give the

189
00:13:56.440 --> 00:14:01.360
Clippers all the Grammys. I know
you just one album of the year for

190
00:14:01.399 --> 00:14:03.159
the fourth time. Made history.
Well, the Clippers made a little bit

191
00:14:03.159 --> 00:14:07.399
of history too. They go six
to one on the Grammy road Trip,

192
00:14:07.799 --> 00:14:15.039
best record ever on this particular road
trip for this franchise. They tie their

193
00:14:15.080 --> 00:14:20.159
best record on a seven game road
trip in franchise history after winning in Atlanta

194
00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:24.720
one forty nine to one forty four
over the Hawks. Welcome into Clippers Tuck,

195
00:14:24.120 --> 00:14:28.159
I'm in a Maslin to eight six
six ninety eight seven two five seventy

196
00:14:28.240 --> 00:14:31.720
eight six six ninety eight seven two
five to seventy Even swifties can call him

197
00:14:31.720 --> 00:14:35.840
tonight. I don't care. You
gotta be proud of this team. Clipper

198
00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:37.879
Dation. You're gonna hear from Kawhi
Leonard in just a bit, he had

199
00:14:37.919 --> 00:14:43.639
thirty six on just twenty shots.
Continues to just go scorched earth on the

200
00:14:43.720 --> 00:14:52.360
league. Here's what Kawhi Leonard has
been doing as yes, my MVP campaign

201
00:14:52.559 --> 00:14:54.440
for him, because you know,
the Claw doesn't care about it. He

202
00:14:54.519 --> 00:14:58.799
wants the Larry O. B.
But we gotta talk about how good he's

203
00:14:58.840 --> 00:15:03.039
been. Last twenty nine game,
James Kawhi Leonard is averaging twenty six points

204
00:15:03.080 --> 00:15:07.279
while shooting fifty eight percent from the
field and fifty one percent from three.

205
00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:13.440
This is while being constantly double teamed
while playing elite defense on the other end.

206
00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:20.919
Hashtag Claw for MVP. People are
just starting to take notice. The

207
00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:26.840
national media is way late to this. Lauren Hill arriving to a concert late.

208
00:15:26.879 --> 00:15:30.519
I don't know if she was there
last night. She's known for that.

209
00:15:30.799 --> 00:15:37.480
It's true, yeah, a little
bit. It is incomprehensible that he

210
00:15:37.559 --> 00:15:41.279
is not top five when it comes
to betting odds for the MVP, that

211
00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:48.399
he isn't top ten or wasn't just
a week ago on NBA dot COM's MVP

212
00:15:48.600 --> 00:15:54.840
Ladder, but earlier today, my
guy Zach Lowe low Post was talking about

213
00:15:54.919 --> 00:16:00.399
him and saying he is in the
upper echelon. Now. Maybe he's been

214
00:16:00.399 --> 00:16:03.480
seeing my tweets on this. Talked
to him at the game the other night

215
00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:08.679
before the Clippers left on this road
trip. Remember, coach Lou said the

216
00:16:08.840 --> 00:16:15.919
goal was to go six in one. He told Carlo Jimenez that they put

217
00:16:15.960 --> 00:16:19.840
a number to it. I thought
four and three would be successful considering the

218
00:16:19.879 --> 00:16:25.799
opponents, considering no Viza Zubats for
all but one game, and he only

219
00:16:25.840 --> 00:16:30.879
played eighteen minutes yesterday. Didn't play
in this one, just injury management.

220
00:16:30.919 --> 00:16:33.759
He's still coming back from that calf
injury, but we didn't expect him back

221
00:16:33.799 --> 00:16:41.159
yesterday. It's all good news,
and it was a gauntlet. This was

222
00:16:41.240 --> 00:16:44.519
not an easy road trip. They
never are. They had two three and

223
00:16:44.639 --> 00:16:48.519
four nights, no rest for the
weary. They get right back after at

224
00:16:48.519 --> 00:16:56.320
home against the Pelicans on Wednesday.
But you run through a scrappy Raptors team

225
00:16:56.360 --> 00:17:03.279
that almost took down OKC last night
in doublet should add that one a Celtics

226
00:17:03.319 --> 00:17:11.000
team the very next day where they
blow them out on the second night of

227
00:17:11.039 --> 00:17:17.000
a back to back. They're only
loss in Cleveland to the Cavaliers, where

228
00:17:17.039 --> 00:17:19.880
they really could have used the Visa
Zubats. Of course, then they beat

229
00:17:19.960 --> 00:17:25.519
up on the Wizards, beat up
on the Pistons win yesterday in a rock

230
00:17:25.599 --> 00:17:30.440
fight, a slugfest against the Miami
Heat, you know that team that went

231
00:17:30.480 --> 00:17:34.359
to the NBA Finals out of the
Eastern Conference last year. And then today

232
00:17:34.480 --> 00:17:40.119
they finish strong when there could have
been tired legs on the second night of

233
00:17:40.160 --> 00:17:44.640
a back to back, third game
in four nights. In somehow, some

234
00:17:44.759 --> 00:17:48.759
way, I don't know, they
saved their best shooting performance for last on

235
00:17:48.759 --> 00:17:53.759
this road trip. The Clippers ended
up at fifty eight percent from the field

236
00:17:53.799 --> 00:17:57.559
and sixty percent from three, and
they needed all twenty one of those three

237
00:17:57.599 --> 00:18:03.640
pointers to beat a hot Atlanta Hawks
team that had just won four straight against

238
00:18:03.640 --> 00:18:07.200
some good competition too. They beat
Lakers, Warriors, Phoenix Suns in there.

239
00:18:07.640 --> 00:18:11.359
At least the Sons have been playing
really good basketball are much better as

240
00:18:11.400 --> 00:18:15.920
of late. They took a sixty
spot from Steph Curry and still won that

241
00:18:15.960 --> 00:18:21.039
game. The Hawks offense was second
over the last week and a half when

242
00:18:21.039 --> 00:18:23.400
they had one four straight, and
they showed it. They hit twenty threes.

243
00:18:23.640 --> 00:18:29.440
The shooting was just insane. Most
of it was guys hitting shots with

244
00:18:29.480 --> 00:18:33.559
a hand in their face. The
only open three I can really think of

245
00:18:33.599 --> 00:18:37.279
at the moment was the Terrence Man
near side corner three when he was asking

246
00:18:37.279 --> 00:18:41.480
for the basketball. Love seeing that
clapping his hands. They're leaving me open.

247
00:18:41.519 --> 00:18:45.319
I'll knock it down. Team man
four four nine points. But the

248
00:18:45.319 --> 00:18:51.599
Clippers closed with the big four plus
a mere coffee as they led by one

249
00:18:52.119 --> 00:18:55.880
heading into the fourth. After when
you know a three pointer from Daniel Tice

250
00:18:55.960 --> 00:19:02.079
to end the third quarter, Die
Dice, baby Ice in his veins to

251
00:19:02.160 --> 00:19:06.920
knock down a huge shot down two. That's a big momentum swing to take

252
00:19:06.960 --> 00:19:11.119
that one point lead heading into the
fourth. They just took Atlanta's best shot.

253
00:19:11.000 --> 00:19:14.720
They had just taken the lead for
the first time since the first quarter.

254
00:19:15.079 --> 00:19:18.279
Atlanta, they were up five to
zero. Clippers went on a sixteen

255
00:19:18.319 --> 00:19:27.359
to two run, so they were
up eighteen to seven. They continued to

256
00:19:27.400 --> 00:19:30.920
have their foot on the gas until
the end of the second quarter, where

257
00:19:30.920 --> 00:19:34.920
they let up and gave up an
eight oh run. Another big momentum switch.

258
00:19:36.440 --> 00:19:41.279
Eight oh run in one minute can't
happen. But that's the difference in

259
00:19:41.319 --> 00:19:47.440
this team. They don't have to
play perfect basketball. They have so much

260
00:19:47.519 --> 00:19:51.200
talent. Their margin for error,
as our guy Don McLean would say,

261
00:19:51.559 --> 00:19:56.480
has increased. So even when guys
have off nights or bad performances, or

262
00:19:56.519 --> 00:20:00.720
the defense lets you down. The
offense has been the best in the game

263
00:20:00.880 --> 00:20:07.160
since win November seventeenth, since they
went to the new starting lineup, and

264
00:20:07.200 --> 00:20:12.599
the Clippers record since then best in
the league. Since November seventeenth, they

265
00:20:12.599 --> 00:20:18.200
have won thirty one of their last
thirty nine games. Since December one,

266
00:20:18.759 --> 00:20:22.200
they've won twenty six of their last
thirty one, and they've won sixteen of

267
00:20:22.200 --> 00:20:29.960
their last twenty Now and they are
currently a half game back of being the

268
00:20:30.039 --> 00:20:36.680
number one seed in the Western Conference. What a turnaround after starting zero to

269
00:20:36.720 --> 00:20:42.680
five with James Harden. How about
that. I've already seen the national media

270
00:20:42.720 --> 00:20:45.359
make that U turn when it comes
to James Harden and if it can work

271
00:20:45.359 --> 00:20:49.079
with this Clippers team. Kensrick Perk
has went from saying I'm praying for coach

272
00:20:49.160 --> 00:20:53.039
Lou to the Clippers are the team
that is the biggest threat to the Denver

273
00:20:53.119 --> 00:21:00.720
Nuggets in the West. What a
flip flop. I was gonna name a

274
00:21:00.759 --> 00:21:03.119
politician there, but I'm not gonna
do it political season. This is AMI

275
00:21:03.240 --> 00:21:06.440
seventy l S four, so you
can find that down the dial on six

276
00:21:06.599 --> 00:21:14.519
forty A sister station. I just
can't say enough with how this team has

277
00:21:14.559 --> 00:21:19.920
almost forgotten how to lose. They
just make winning plays constantly. It was

278
00:21:19.960 --> 00:21:25.960
a tight game in the fourth quarter
because the start things off after the Clippers

279
00:21:26.000 --> 00:21:30.160
led by one, with that Tice
three to end the third Bogie knock down

280
00:21:30.200 --> 00:21:34.480
a three pointer, Hawks back up
two, they getting nan one. They

281
00:21:34.480 --> 00:21:38.440
missed the free throw, but Clippers
are down by four, A mere three

282
00:21:38.480 --> 00:21:44.039
pointer, A mere coffee. Coffee
is for closers, as Brian Seman would

283
00:21:44.079 --> 00:21:49.599
say. Then a Russ layup a
hard and three. The Big four came

284
00:21:49.680 --> 00:21:53.960
in at the seven point thirty mark. The Clippers were up by one at

285
00:21:53.960 --> 00:21:57.319
that time and they closed out the
game, so they ended up and by

286
00:21:57.319 --> 00:22:02.640
big four, I mean to Q
one three plus James Harden, Russell Westbrook

287
00:22:03.519 --> 00:22:08.440
next to a mere coffee. That
lineup started at the seven thirty mark with

288
00:22:08.480 --> 00:22:11.680
the Clippers up one in the fourth
quarter. They ended up being a plus

289
00:22:11.680 --> 00:22:17.400
four because they closed out the game
and won by five. But a Russ

290
00:22:17.519 --> 00:22:21.880
dunk in traffic put them up three. Two hands for safety, as no

291
00:22:21.960 --> 00:22:27.960
ego to say, a Kawhi dunk
and one went down the baseline. Now

292
00:22:27.960 --> 00:22:33.160
the Clippers are up by four as
Atlanta converted on the other end, but

293
00:22:33.200 --> 00:22:36.519
they weren't going away. Murray hits
a three, then Paul George hits a

294
00:22:36.559 --> 00:22:40.240
three, Murray hits another three,
Russ misses a three, Kawhi is a

295
00:22:40.240 --> 00:22:44.240
putback. Clippers are up by one. Russ to a mirror for a layup,

296
00:22:45.039 --> 00:22:52.000
and then PG was fouled on a
layup. But the biggest shot of

297
00:22:52.039 --> 00:22:57.720
the ballgame to put this one away
with the Clippers up by seven after Kawhi,

298
00:22:57.799 --> 00:23:03.880
Leonard just went ballistic thirteen of US
thirty six in the fourth quarter,

299
00:23:04.480 --> 00:23:10.839
a huge three near the end of
the shot clock. Then Russ had the

300
00:23:10.839 --> 00:23:15.200
big block leading to an a mere
layup off a Kawhi pass. But it

301
00:23:15.480 --> 00:23:22.200
was maybe we can hear one more
time here, Katie the Bearded wonder.

302
00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:26.319
Pretty big play. Played it on
the network side already. I want you

303
00:23:26.359 --> 00:23:33.880
to hear it. He hit two
four point plays yesterday James Harden after a

304
00:23:33.000 --> 00:23:38.119
rough game where he only had four
points in Detroit Friday night yesterday in Miami,

305
00:23:38.519 --> 00:23:45.440
two four point plays in the fourth
quarter tonight, biggest moment of the

306
00:23:45.519 --> 00:23:49.440
game to help put things away or
just get enough distance, enough of a

307
00:23:49.480 --> 00:23:53.960
buffer against this red hot shooting Hawks
team. It was the bearded Wonder James

308
00:23:55.000 --> 00:23:59.000
Harden. Once again. Harden starts
towards the three point line. This shot

309
00:23:59.039 --> 00:24:03.160
clock at six, right angle with
five with four dances on Young with three

310
00:24:03.680 --> 00:24:07.759
lost a handle with two crows it
up with the horn gets found mixing in

311
00:24:07.160 --> 00:24:15.720
the teams. A warning with the
four playofpportunity won the minute and six seconds

312
00:24:15.799 --> 00:24:22.440
left, Clippers up one for he
would hit the free throw. They go

313
00:24:22.519 --> 00:24:26.160
up by ten. They hit their
free throws late, they win by five.

314
00:24:26.240 --> 00:24:30.279
I don't know if he called glass, he might have called game.

315
00:24:30.279 --> 00:24:34.400
Shout out Paul Pierce and what a
game and what a win it was for

316
00:24:34.440 --> 00:24:41.240
the Clippers. What a road trip
historic for this franchise. If you wondered

317
00:24:41.240 --> 00:24:45.519
if this team was more serious this
season, more focused building the right way,

318
00:24:45.680 --> 00:24:53.359
not skipping steps, this road trip
confirmed all of that. They have

319
00:24:53.440 --> 00:25:00.319
the right attitude right now. They're
in the right mental space. It's not

320
00:25:00.359 --> 00:25:04.279
always perfect. It never is.
You can look back at the Denver Nuggets

321
00:25:04.359 --> 00:25:08.559
last season and some of their ups
and downs during the regular season and playing

322
00:25:08.599 --> 00:25:11.680
down to their competition at times,
they still went on to win the championship.

323
00:25:11.720 --> 00:25:15.559
No. One remembers that. Now, can this Clippers team do the

324
00:25:15.599 --> 00:25:21.279
same thing. That's the ultimate goal. But you know what makes that goal

325
00:25:21.359 --> 00:25:27.559
easier or more attainable if you're a
top three seed in the West. There's

326
00:25:27.599 --> 00:25:32.720
been one team the last fifty years
that has won the championship that was not

327
00:25:33.039 --> 00:25:38.079
a top three seed in their respective
conference, ninety five Houston Rockets. Clippers

328
00:25:38.119 --> 00:25:44.640
have never been the number one seed
in franchise history. This year they have

329
00:25:44.640 --> 00:25:48.200
a chance to be a lot of
work to be done, but they are

330
00:25:48.200 --> 00:25:53.000
a half game back currently of OKC
and Minnesota. They're right there nipping at

331
00:25:53.039 --> 00:25:57.279
their heels, still have games left
against them. Of course, they still

332
00:25:57.279 --> 00:26:02.599
have seventeen games left in March alone. The schedule makers Into a Dome,

333
00:26:02.759 --> 00:26:04.880
Into a Dome can't come soon enough. There's no place like home. There's

334
00:26:04.880 --> 00:26:10.279
no place like home. Let's start
with Sean and Inglewood. Sean, what's

335
00:26:10.359 --> 00:26:12.759
up you're on Clippers talk? How
about that four point play from James Harden.

336
00:26:15.279 --> 00:26:18.359
I loved it, man, I
loved the close out. I love

337
00:26:18.400 --> 00:26:23.640
the defense that they played in the
fourth quarter. And basically, I mean

338
00:26:23.799 --> 00:26:32.359
even this team now is like they
can withstand just about any drama, any

339
00:26:32.400 --> 00:26:38.599
adversity, and they have the confidence
as well as the ability to sustain and

340
00:26:38.680 --> 00:26:44.359
come back before you may have had
doubts. I mean, the Clippers are

341
00:26:44.400 --> 00:26:48.640
always good at coming back in games, but this time it's like, no

342
00:26:48.720 --> 00:26:52.799
matter what's thrown at them, they're
gonna come back. And I'm thinking in

343
00:26:52.839 --> 00:26:56.200
that fourth quarter, hey, we
don't have anything to worry about. We

344
00:26:56.319 --> 00:27:00.400
got four Hall of Famers on the
floor. And when Kawai came back in,

345
00:27:00.079 --> 00:27:03.640
I said, he's gonna give me
thirty six points. Oh he got

346
00:27:04.319 --> 00:27:08.519
you? Where's that? Where's that? Where's that? Sweet? I need

347
00:27:08.519 --> 00:27:11.559
that? I need that. That's
that's a pretty hot take because he got

348
00:27:11.559 --> 00:27:18.119
to exactly thirty six. Yeah he
did. And I'm just saying before you

349
00:27:18.640 --> 00:27:22.880
see a difference in the team where, hey, we're gonna overcome it no

350
00:27:22.960 --> 00:27:30.359
matter what whatever it is. So
excuse me, coffee, But I'm telling

351
00:27:30.359 --> 00:27:34.079
you what, coffee. Yeah,
I'm here. Coffee was great. That

352
00:27:34.160 --> 00:27:40.319
was a beautiful game. Man.
That was just a very entertaining game.

353
00:27:40.960 --> 00:27:44.640
And you can just sit back and
go, we're gonna get this game.

354
00:27:45.079 --> 00:27:48.119
You know, we We're not gonna
lose this game. And that's now,

355
00:27:48.599 --> 00:27:51.480
as a Clipper fan is like,
hey, I can depend on him to

356
00:27:51.559 --> 00:27:55.759
win, you know, and and
depend on them to close out. And

357
00:27:55.799 --> 00:27:59.240
that's what they're doing. There's four
Hall of famers on the floor that closed

358
00:27:59.240 --> 00:28:03.359
out and knew what they were doing. And man, all those block shots

359
00:28:03.359 --> 00:28:07.000
come on? Really they really,
they really played well. So I'm very

360
00:28:07.079 --> 00:28:10.799
happy with the game tonight, Adam. And it's good to talk to you,

361
00:28:11.440 --> 00:28:12.519
all right, Sean. Good to
hear from you too. Let's do

362
00:28:12.559 --> 00:28:18.759
it again on Wednesday. All right, Okay, my friend Xavier in Lehabra

363
00:28:18.920 --> 00:28:23.519
Heights, Xavier who usually calls in
a half hour before the game is even

364
00:28:23.599 --> 00:28:27.079
over. Javier, you're on Clipper
Stock with Adam Allison. What's up?

365
00:28:29.319 --> 00:28:30.640
Hey, what's up? But I
don't think you were taking my call?

366
00:28:30.799 --> 00:28:36.079
Game? What you know? You
were talking about Kawhi Leonard. I think

367
00:28:36.119 --> 00:28:40.480
this went for MVP. Now with
this e Squols trip, especially today's game,

368
00:28:40.960 --> 00:28:44.680
it's really an open eyes with this
national media. Now that's a good

369
00:28:44.680 --> 00:28:48.799
point. It's a good point.
I mean, look at you. I

370
00:28:48.839 --> 00:28:52.599
mean thirty what thirty six points?
I mean he was a beast again,

371
00:28:52.880 --> 00:29:00.519
unbelievable? What else? Xavier?
What else? Good coaches? This game?

372
00:29:00.759 --> 00:29:07.799
He had Russell Westbrook and Coffee playing
the last what six seven minutes of

373
00:29:07.799 --> 00:29:11.319
the game. He didn't have Norman
Kyle, he didn't have a man and

374
00:29:11.359 --> 00:29:15.160
look what he did. They want, they want us the game. Coffee's

375
00:29:15.200 --> 00:29:21.000
defense in the fourth quarter, Adam
Man, he was everywhere. I mean,

376
00:29:21.200 --> 00:29:25.599
I understand Counties to be in the
fourth quarter, but once in a

377
00:29:25.640 --> 00:29:29.240
while they want to go small.
I mean, I like like Man,

378
00:29:29.640 --> 00:29:33.480
but Man, Man, he's a
closure. He's a closer man. He

379
00:29:33.759 --> 00:29:37.119
he he closed the game like you
you saw it. I have all the

380
00:29:37.119 --> 00:29:41.000
faith in the world in a mere
Coffee. You want me to play me

381
00:29:41.160 --> 00:29:44.680
from two and a half months ago
screaming for them to start playing a mere

382
00:29:44.720 --> 00:29:48.119
Coffee because he was completely out of
the rotation and then they were missing wings

383
00:29:48.119 --> 00:29:51.440
after the trade with Batoumen Roco.
Don't make me do it, Hobbyer.

384
00:29:51.519 --> 00:29:55.519
I will. I'm his biggest fan. Yeah, I know, I know,

385
00:29:55.680 --> 00:29:57.079
but I mean I'm talking about closing
the game. I mean, he's

386
00:29:57.279 --> 00:30:03.119
literally he's been like this. He's
been like this. He was a part

387
00:30:03.119 --> 00:30:07.200
of that big comeback they had in
Philly against Doc Rivers a couple of years

388
00:30:07.240 --> 00:30:11.079
ago. Remember the January he had
in twenty twenty two, he was carrying

389
00:30:11.119 --> 00:30:17.240
this team a mere coffees clutch.
This is nothing new from him, I'm

390
00:30:17.240 --> 00:30:19.440
telling you, yeah, no,
no, you talked about him. And

391
00:30:19.480 --> 00:30:23.599
the last thing is I need a
lot of calls, believe me. When

392
00:30:23.680 --> 00:30:29.160
undefeated a road trip, if Zoo
would have fitted against Cleveland, they would

393
00:30:29.160 --> 00:30:30.880
have went undefeated. They would have
won all the games. That said,

394
00:30:30.880 --> 00:30:33.359
Adam, thank you for taking We'll
talk to you later. Good stuff.

395
00:30:33.359 --> 00:30:37.440
Hobby here. I like your point
on them being on an East coast trip

396
00:30:37.440 --> 00:30:44.519
and therefore Kawhi Leonard being a little
more visual to a different audience because not

397
00:30:44.559 --> 00:30:48.079
everybody's staying up late for these West
coast games. They sleep on the West

398
00:30:48.119 --> 00:30:52.599
coast. So harken back to the
Oregon Ducks and the final four back and

399
00:30:52.720 --> 00:30:56.960
I don't know. Twenty nineteen,
Clippers win one forty nine to one forty

400
00:30:56.960 --> 00:31:00.359
four in Atlanta over the Hawks.
They go six and one on the roady.

401
00:31:00.880 --> 00:31:06.160
We'll update you on these Western Conference
standings. We'll also have Chuck Macron

402
00:31:06.200 --> 00:31:11.000
from Clips and Dip and you're gonna
hear from Kawhi Leonard next right here on

403
00:31:11.079 --> 00:31:14.279
Clippers stock on a five to seventy
LA Sports. They want to bring a

404
00:31:14.279 --> 00:31:18.559
banner with them to the into it
down More LA Clippers Basketball on the LA

405
00:31:18.720 --> 00:31:29.000
Clippers Audio Network. Fool Clippers win
in Atlanta one four over the Hawks.

406
00:31:29.680 --> 00:31:33.960
They're heading back home off this Grammy
road trip where they went six and one.

407
00:31:33.759 --> 00:31:37.200
Welcome back into Clippers stock. I'm
at a moslin to eight six six

408
00:31:37.359 --> 00:31:41.240
nine eight seven two five seventy eight
six six nine eight seven two five seventy

409
00:31:41.720 --> 00:31:47.599
Speaking of the number six, Kawhi
Leonard, with thirty six points on twenty

410
00:31:47.680 --> 00:31:52.160
shots, goes five of eight from
distance, five of five at the charity

411
00:31:52.200 --> 00:31:55.839
stripe. One of the differences in
this game was uh Atlanta was missing a

412
00:31:55.880 --> 00:31:59.039
couple of key free throws here and
there. The Clippers were good enough late

413
00:31:59.079 --> 00:32:02.920
to hold on and score forty seven
points on the fourth quarter to Atlanta's forty

414
00:32:02.960 --> 00:32:07.839
three. Let's hear from Kawhi Leonard
though post game on Valley Sports speaking with

415
00:32:07.960 --> 00:32:13.240
Christina Pig Thank you, Brian Kawhi. Second night of a back to back

416
00:32:13.319 --> 00:32:15.960
high scoring game here in Atlanta.
But you guys found the energy to close

417
00:32:16.000 --> 00:32:22.160
this one out. What made the
biggest difference. We got stops down there

418
00:32:22.720 --> 00:32:27.599
and start the ball. We was
executed it down at downy stretch on offensive

419
00:32:27.680 --> 00:32:30.440
end, and he was able to
get it done well. You certainly made

420
00:32:30.440 --> 00:32:32.319
some big buckets down the stretch as
well, part of a thirteen point fourth

421
00:32:32.359 --> 00:32:37.119
quarter for you thirty six on the
night. But how are you continuing to

422
00:32:37.200 --> 00:32:44.160
make timely buckets. I'm just shooting
the ball with confidence, working out,

423
00:32:44.440 --> 00:32:49.640
believing in my work and went in
tonight. You guys certainly put in some

424
00:32:49.680 --> 00:32:52.359
work over the last couple of weeks
to go six and one on a seven

425
00:32:52.440 --> 00:32:55.799
game road trip. What have you
learned about this group over the course of

426
00:32:55.839 --> 00:33:00.920
the last thirteen day. You know, he bonded on the road. We

427
00:33:00.960 --> 00:33:04.559
did a great job. You know
it's very tough on the road and were

428
00:33:04.599 --> 00:33:08.200
happy to get it done all right. Thanks Christina, Thank you, Thank

429
00:33:08.240 --> 00:33:13.160
you, Christina. Pink best in
the game as well. Kawhi Leonard there

430
00:33:13.880 --> 00:33:16.720
man a few words. He makes
it sound so easy. He makes it

431
00:33:16.759 --> 00:33:22.000
look so easy out there in the
court. He's just so methodical. You

432
00:33:22.039 --> 00:33:25.480
can have a hand in his face. He's got Superman X ray vision.

433
00:33:25.559 --> 00:33:30.799
He looks right through you. There
was some good defense by Hunter on him,

434
00:33:30.920 --> 00:33:34.279
didn't matter, and when he had
to be at his best. He

435
00:33:34.319 --> 00:33:39.440
had thirteen of us thirty six points
in that fourth quarter. Got the Clippers

436
00:33:39.440 --> 00:33:43.119
off to a good start with eight
points in the first quarter. James Harden

437
00:33:43.160 --> 00:33:47.119
had nine points on three three pointers
made in that first quarter, sign of

438
00:33:47.160 --> 00:33:51.319
things to come with a four point
played late from him. The Bearded Wonder

439
00:33:51.799 --> 00:33:54.960
went six of nine from distance,
had six of the Clippers twenty one makes

440
00:33:54.960 --> 00:33:59.880
from the outside, Kawhi with five
of them. Paul George with three eighteen

441
00:34:00.079 --> 00:34:02.359
points on just thirteen shots. Like
seeing that he was my player to watch.

442
00:34:02.880 --> 00:34:07.159
That he looked better, was being
more aggressive early on at a jumper

443
00:34:07.199 --> 00:34:12.239
and a three pointer in the first
quarter. But this Clippers team just comes

444
00:34:12.280 --> 00:34:15.000
at you in waves. You got
three guys coming off the bench that all

445
00:34:15.039 --> 00:34:19.440
had thirteen points. Russ A Mere
Coffee, Norman Powell, Daniel Tice with

446
00:34:19.559 --> 00:34:22.800
nine that big three to end the
third quarter. Some big hustle plays,

447
00:34:22.840 --> 00:34:28.920
a couple of big putback dunks,
catching a lob too. After there was

448
00:34:28.960 --> 00:34:30.880
a challenge that went against him.
It looked like it got under his skin.

449
00:34:31.840 --> 00:34:35.920
Looked like he was a little bit
irritated by it because he started playing

450
00:34:35.920 --> 00:34:38.599
with more force after that. He
had eight boards. Mason Plumbley had eight

451
00:34:38.880 --> 00:34:45.840
nine in twenty one minutes and a
big block. Clippers had thirty two assists

452
00:34:45.840 --> 00:34:50.599
on their fifty two makes this offense. They said it would be scary when

453
00:34:50.639 --> 00:34:54.679
they figured this out. It is
looked the part. Let's go too.

454
00:34:54.679 --> 00:34:58.119
We got here, Pam and Temple
City. Pam, you're on Clipper stock

455
00:34:58.159 --> 00:35:01.079
with that, Amason. You you
know. I don't have anything of brilliance

456
00:35:01.119 --> 00:35:05.719
to say, but I do want
to say that I talked to you way

457
00:35:05.719 --> 00:35:09.480
back when we first acquired James Harden
and I said that he was going to

458
00:35:09.559 --> 00:35:15.440
be a different person on this Clippers
team because of the Clippers organization and the

459
00:35:15.440 --> 00:35:21.199
Clippers camaraderie. And I've seen nothing
less than that. I see all kinds

460
00:35:21.199 --> 00:35:23.440
of teamwork. I mean, I
have can't why do you. I was

461
00:35:23.559 --> 00:35:28.079
nervous night when they came, kept
going back and forth. I couldn't even

462
00:35:28.119 --> 00:35:30.960
hit my supper. But I'll tell
you one thing. After they won that

463
00:35:30.039 --> 00:35:35.880
Hamburg sure tasted a lot better.
But it's just just a wonderful thing to

464
00:35:35.920 --> 00:35:40.440
watch. I just cannot command them
enough. And I would be very surprised

465
00:35:40.760 --> 00:35:45.920
if they didn't go farther than ever. And I think having Coffee on the

466
00:35:45.960 --> 00:35:47.519
team. He may not be a
Hall of Famer out there with the Hall

467
00:35:47.559 --> 00:35:52.400
of famers, but he has winged
with the Clippers and I just love them.

468
00:35:52.440 --> 00:35:53.920
I love you guys, and I
thank you for your time and for

469
00:35:53.960 --> 00:35:59.159
taking my car. Thank you,
grateful and call there. You don't have

470
00:35:59.239 --> 00:36:01.679
to be a Hall of Fame and
you're playing next to four of them.

471
00:36:02.119 --> 00:36:06.400
You have to blend in. You
have to be a connector. You got

472
00:36:06.480 --> 00:36:09.000
to step up and hit big shots, as he did in the fourth quarter

473
00:36:09.599 --> 00:36:13.880
when your numbers called. But you
gotta do the little things. You gotta

474
00:36:13.880 --> 00:36:16.400
scrap a mere coffee and Terrence Man
do all of that for this team.

475
00:36:16.679 --> 00:36:20.559
But I'm so happy for a mere
coffee. A guy who was completely out

476
00:36:20.599 --> 00:36:27.239
of the rotation completely. Paul George
gets hurt, Tyleru starts him. The

477
00:36:27.320 --> 00:36:30.039
rest is history. You can't get
him out of the rotation. Now he's

478
00:36:30.039 --> 00:36:36.039
earned all these minutes he's been closing
games. Speaking of Tyler Lou, how

479
00:36:36.119 --> 00:36:39.840
prophetic is this. We'll hear from
him postgame coming up, But this was

480
00:36:39.880 --> 00:36:45.159
before the Lakers game, right before
the road trip. Here's what coach Lou

481
00:36:45.320 --> 00:36:49.440
said and what he wanted to see
out of this Clippers team on the Grammy

482
00:36:49.519 --> 00:36:52.519
road trip. How do you try
to keep guys movent during a long season?

483
00:36:52.719 --> 00:36:54.320
Yeah, I mean just you try
to take him in five games sample

484
00:36:54.360 --> 00:36:58.039
size and you try to say,
okay, we go four and one this

485
00:36:58.079 --> 00:37:00.599
week, or we tough scheduled,
can't go to worst three and two,

486
00:37:00.719 --> 00:37:02.679
like going this road trip right here, I want to be able to go

487
00:37:02.719 --> 00:37:06.280
six and one, but the worst
case go five and two. You know,

488
00:37:06.400 --> 00:37:07.639
So that's gotta be on myself.
All right, thank you so much,

489
00:37:07.639 --> 00:37:13.639
special luck, thank you, no
luck needed skill, talent. And

490
00:37:13.719 --> 00:37:16.280
the Clippers do it. They go
six and one. That was before the

491
00:37:16.360 --> 00:37:21.119
Lakers game, the last game at
home before the road trip, and he

492
00:37:21.199 --> 00:37:23.400
already had his eyes on going six
and one five into it. Worse,

493
00:37:24.000 --> 00:37:28.880
six in one is what the Clippers
were able to pull off. Tremendous.

494
00:37:29.119 --> 00:37:30.679
We'll take a quick time out,
we'll come back. We'll get back to

495

your phone calls eight six, six
ninety seven, two five seventy. Chuck

496
00:37:35.000 --> 00:37:39.400
Mockler will join the show. Clippers
win by five in Atlanta. They're coming

497
00:37:39.480 --> 00:37:44.320
back home. They're taking on the
Pills on Wednesday night, a team that

498
00:37:44.360 --> 00:37:46.639
has had their number but the last
time out in New Orleans, Clippers blew

499
00:37:46.679 --> 00:37:52.360
them out. I expect the Pelicans
to not forget that one. I'm out

500
00:37:52.400 --> 00:37:54.880
a Moslin. You're listening to Clippers
sock here on five seventy LI Sports that

501
00:37:55.039 --> 00:38:00.480
Jay Z's speech was special. Some
of you are gonna get robbed. They

502
00:38:00.519 --> 00:38:04.840
want to bring a banner with them
to the into it down more LA Clippers

basketball on the LA Clippers Audio Network. Clippers goes six and one on the

504
00:38:12.159 --> 00:38:15.639
Grammy road Trip. Welcome back to
the Clippers Talk. I'm at a Mazlin.

505
00:38:15.239 --> 00:38:19.559
We'll get back to your phone calls

also reach me at follow out of May

507
00:38:22.360 --> 00:38:29.920
on X We're gonna hear from the
head coach post game after he put a

508
00:38:30.000 --> 00:38:34.199
number on it. He said six
and one was the goal and the Clippers

509
00:38:34.239 --> 00:38:37.840
achieved it. While we have a
moment, let's pause ten seconds for station

510
00:38:37.960 --> 00:38:42.760
identification. Here on M five seven
E LA Sports, This is LA Clippers

511
00:38:42.840 --> 00:38:47.360
Basketball, AM five seventy KLAC Los
Angeles, ninety eight seven KYSR HD two

512
00:38:47.440 --> 00:38:52.800
Los Angeles and iHeartRadio station. Let's
get to our friend, Big Chuck.

513
00:38:52.920 --> 00:38:57.000
Mackler from Clips and Dip for a
little double dip here on Clippers talk,

514
00:38:57.559 --> 00:39:00.559
and I guess I have to start
out with the Mia Koppa Chuck. I

515
00:39:00.639 --> 00:39:02.840
was wrong. I thought the Clippers
would go four and three. I thought

516
00:39:02.840 --> 00:39:07.440
they were too banged up, the
competition was too good. Oh, I

517
00:39:07.480 --> 00:39:10.800
feel so stupid right now. Look
at me. I'm a wreck. Hey,

518
00:39:10.840 --> 00:39:14.119
I said five and two, So
I was wrong as well, You

519
00:39:14.320 --> 00:39:19.079
idiot? That's wrong with you?
Do you see this team? They don't

520
00:39:19.079 --> 00:39:23.480
lose games. I mean, this
is what if at this point, I

521
00:39:23.480 --> 00:39:28.880
guess you weren't fully convinced the Clippers
are taking this thing seriously this season.

522
00:39:29.199 --> 00:39:32.480
This road trip is what people can
point to. It's the end all be

523
00:39:32.559 --> 00:39:37.519
all of a team that's trying to
put itself in position with the mentality for

524
00:39:38.039 --> 00:39:42.599
you know, championship expectations, right
like these are the games that you should

525
00:39:42.599 --> 00:39:46.280
win if you really want to be, you know, considered a contender.

526
00:39:46.320 --> 00:39:51.679
And the Clippers have been so good
over the last forty games, capping off

527
00:39:51.679 --> 00:39:53.840
the final Grammy trip by going six
and one, it was just it's just

528
00:39:53.880 --> 00:39:58.559
amazing. Did you have any concerns
when they went to the four Hall of

529
00:39:58.559 --> 00:40:02.360
famers with a mere coffee late in
the ballgame, because obviously there were many

530
00:40:02.400 --> 00:40:07.199
times this season and we'll see how
it plays out moving forward, but the

531
00:40:07.199 --> 00:40:10.719
Big four just hasn't been able to
make things work. They were good enough

532
00:40:10.760 --> 00:40:14.400
down the stretch, they were very
good at times. They go on to

533
00:40:14.480 --> 00:40:19.079
win by five, But that closing
lineup, what were your thoughts. Yeah,

534
00:40:19.119 --> 00:40:22.599
I mean, if there's any there's
any team that's going to make one

535
00:40:22.639 --> 00:40:25.800
of your lesser you know, one
of your maybe not plus lineups look good,

536
00:40:25.840 --> 00:40:30.159
it's going to be this Atlanta Hawks
team. I know there's absolutely no

537
00:40:30.239 --> 00:40:32.639
defense played on that side of the
ball, which the Clippers didn't do a

538
00:40:32.639 --> 00:40:36.920
whole lot of sight either, But
no, I thought Russ was really good.

539
00:40:37.039 --> 00:40:39.719
Kind of is the center of that
small ball lineup. He's kind of

540
00:40:39.719 --> 00:40:45.000
a pain for defenses when he's the
role when he's the screener. If you

541
00:40:45.039 --> 00:40:46.920
know his big is lagging off him, that gives a room to cut and

542
00:40:46.960 --> 00:40:52.079
things like that. So it was
all clicking pretty well. But I think

543
00:40:52.079 --> 00:40:55.679
it was probably seventy thirty the Clippers
being locked in on the small ball lineup

544
00:40:55.719 --> 00:41:01.239
and then the thirty percent being the
competition they were playing. Defensive level,

545
00:41:01.599 --> 00:41:05.159
and I don't know what you can
do against some of the hot shooting that

546
00:41:05.239 --> 00:41:07.800
was out there tonight. It's just
indefensible. I mean, Clippers hit twenty

547
00:41:07.800 --> 00:41:12.760
one threes. The Hawks hit twenty
a lot of them. I mean,

548
00:41:12.800 --> 00:41:15.840
guys knocked them down with a hand
in their face. They were just hot.

549
00:41:15.880 --> 00:41:17.880
They were kind of due. The
Clippers three point shooting had been somewhat

550
00:41:17.920 --> 00:41:22.079
down over the last week and a
half overall, and then they go sixty

551
00:41:22.159 --> 00:41:27.280
percent from the outside. But it
just shows off the firepower this team has.

552
00:41:28.719 --> 00:41:32.079
Yeah, it really does, especially
Kawhi Kawhi, you know. I

553
00:41:32.119 --> 00:41:36.079
mean, he took eight threes in
this game. He was fantastic in this

554
00:41:36.119 --> 00:41:38.159
game. He finished with thirty six. He hit five of those threes,

555
00:41:38.199 --> 00:41:42.480
which is just insane too. Him
and James Harden. People keep fouling James

556
00:41:42.480 --> 00:41:45.559
Harden on these three pointers. I'm
not sure why they're doing it. He's

557
00:41:45.599 --> 00:41:47.360
built a career off of it,
though, Chuck. They keep falling for

558
00:41:47.400 --> 00:41:52.480
it. Yeah, but no,
this the ball movement was great tonight.

559
00:41:52.559 --> 00:41:55.119
You saw a mirror make the extra
pass a couple of times. You saw

560
00:41:55.119 --> 00:41:59.559
Palled George make the extra pass.
I thought Mason Plumbley made some really good

561
00:41:59.599 --> 00:42:04.599
decisions them the short roll to get
things moving for the Clippers on the perimeter,

562
00:42:04.880 --> 00:42:07.880
and there was one moment tonight where
Harden brought it up, he swung

563
00:42:07.880 --> 00:42:10.519
it to Paul George and Paul George
kind of hit the little skip past the

564
00:42:10.599 --> 00:42:15.239
Kawhi in the corner who was wide
open again for some reason, will take

565
00:42:15.280 --> 00:42:20.320
it, but and he cashed it. So everyone's playing on the same string

566
00:42:20.400 --> 00:42:23.239
right now, and it's really showing. Plumbly had a couple of makes off

567
00:42:23.280 --> 00:42:29.760
Kawhi Leonard passes where they were very
much in sync and just beautiful bounce passes

568
00:42:29.760 --> 00:42:32.480
from the claw. He ended up
with five assists of just one turnover,

569
00:42:34.000 --> 00:42:36.480
and that was one of the bright
spots in this game, aside from the

570
00:42:36.519 --> 00:42:39.039
hot shooting. After turn the ball
over depending on the box score, fifteen

571
00:42:39.119 --> 00:42:44.480
or sixteen times yesterday in Miami,
they turned it over just eight times tonight.

572
00:42:44.519 --> 00:42:47.119
They took great care of the basketball, and without that they don't win

573
00:42:47.159 --> 00:42:50.960
the game because it's not like they
were slowing down the Atlanta Hawks. So

574
00:42:51.000 --> 00:42:54.239
the possession game was huge. Yeah, the defense in this one, you

575
00:42:54.280 --> 00:42:58.320
know, I know they were missing
Zoo, but they still you know,

576
00:42:58.360 --> 00:43:01.480
they took six less shots. I
thought, actually does make a difference in

577
00:43:01.480 --> 00:43:05.639
any game like this against the team
that run like the Hawks. But you

578
00:43:05.679 --> 00:43:08.480
know it was I've tweeted this out
on our show account, but this game

579
00:43:08.480 --> 00:43:12.880
could have also kind of been considered
a house money game, right, No,

580
00:43:13.039 --> 00:43:15.719
Zoo, it's the second nut of
a back to back, on the

581
00:43:15.760 --> 00:43:17.719
seventh game of a road trip.
The Clippers would have lost this game.

582
00:43:17.719 --> 00:43:21.440
We all would have gone, okay, a little frustrated by the defense.

583
00:43:21.480 --> 00:43:23.400
Well you also get it. Thankfully, we get to kind of wonder,

584
00:43:23.719 --> 00:43:28.079
you know. I am interested to
see what it looks like more so on

585
00:43:28.079 --> 00:43:31.280
a Wednesdays, a lot better team, maybe with the full squad. No

586
00:43:31.360 --> 00:43:37.199
real word on Zoo's availability yet,
but playing in Atlanta is weird. Playing

587
00:43:37.199 --> 00:43:39.360
the Hawks isn't the novelly, I
think, and maybe shouldn't count towards team's

588
00:43:39.400 --> 00:43:44.679
overall stats if you're a Western Conference
team, because it's just pick up the

589
00:43:44.719 --> 00:43:47.599
ball and run up and down the
court in this in these games. So

590
00:43:49.079 --> 00:43:52.199
I'm more interested to see what it
looks like back at home against you know,

591
00:43:52.760 --> 00:43:57.119
a team like the Pels that'll be
Wednesday night. You mentioned them playing

592
00:43:57.159 --> 00:44:00.199
with some house money, and if
they had lost this game, they still

593
00:44:00.199 --> 00:44:01.920
would have gone five and two on
the road trip. But I think it

594
00:44:02.000 --> 00:44:07.480
speaks to the mentality of this team
right now and just how focused they are.

595
00:44:07.960 --> 00:44:10.280
And listen to this audio, Chuck. This was coach Lou speaking with

596
00:44:10.360 --> 00:44:15.480
Carlo Jimenez before the Lakers game,
so their last home game before they went

597
00:44:15.519 --> 00:44:17.679
out on the road trip, and
he put a number on what he wanted

598
00:44:17.679 --> 00:44:22.320
to see out of the Clippers in
the seven games. I want to be

599
00:44:22.360 --> 00:44:24.639
able to go six to one,
but the worst case, go five and

600
00:44:24.679 --> 00:44:29.440
two, you know, so that's
gotta be on. Yeah, he want

601
00:44:29.519 --> 00:44:31.679
them to go six and one,
like they look like they were in tune

602
00:44:31.719 --> 00:44:36.760
and not a team that had to
foot out the door or senior itis and

603
00:44:36.800 --> 00:44:39.320
we're just ready to go home.
They still looked hungry out there tonight.

604
00:44:40.960 --> 00:44:45.400
Yeah, and this and every single
guy does right, you know. Paul

605
00:44:45.440 --> 00:44:49.079
George had kind of he had he
only had eighteen tonight. But Paul George

606
00:44:49.199 --> 00:44:52.599
was really really good on both fence
for the Clippers tonight. He stuffed the

607
00:44:52.639 --> 00:44:57.840
boxer. He had eighteen three five
two steals, maybe a future mini fouls,

608
00:44:58.360 --> 00:45:00.719
but he was great. Kind of
silently. Russell Russ came off the

609
00:45:00.719 --> 00:45:05.719
bench and was really good after kind
of a shaky start. Him and Norm

610
00:45:05.760 --> 00:45:08.719
defensively were kind of wonky to start
this one, but they figured it out.

611
00:45:08.760 --> 00:45:14.800
Like it's trickled down that's actually working
right, Like everyone's really feeling it.

612
00:45:14.920 --> 00:45:20.000
A mere coffee played fantastic defense in
this game and playing great defense on

613
00:45:20.039 --> 00:45:24.519
this whole road trip. So you're
just getting these elevated performances from guys because

614
00:45:24.559 --> 00:45:29.880
they're kind of feeding off each other
and they've seen each other put in the

615
00:45:29.880 --> 00:45:34.159
work, right, they're practicing more
than ever. They they're actually, you

616
00:45:34.199 --> 00:45:37.679
know, like you said, kind
of locked in throughout the whole time.

617
00:45:37.719 --> 00:45:39.199
I don't know how many times we're
gonna say they would have lost this game

618
00:45:39.280 --> 00:45:43.920
last year, but we might be
out of that now. But this wasn't

619
00:45:43.960 --> 00:45:45.400
quite one of those games. But
it's one of those performances where you feel

620
00:45:45.400 --> 00:45:49.239
better about it than if it would
have happened last year, even with the

621
00:45:49.280 --> 00:45:52.159
same result. You know, Jason
feels like we got out of there with

622
00:45:52.199 --> 00:45:54.440
a win. You know, we
took the win. You know, James

623
00:45:54.440 --> 00:46:00.320
Harden Friday night only scored four points
and then in the next two games teas,

624
00:46:00.480 --> 00:46:05.920
he has three four point plays and
it was probably the biggest shot of

625
00:46:05.960 --> 00:46:10.599
the game tonight on Trey Young.
You're right, it's crazy that it keeps

626
00:46:10.599 --> 00:46:15.000
happening. I think he's at twenty
four of those on the season, and

627
00:46:15.039 --> 00:46:19.360
the next closest guy is Steph Curry
with sixteen to four point plays. But

628
00:46:19.559 --> 00:46:22.760
it's because the dribble drive is still
there too, Like he has so many

629
00:46:22.840 --> 00:46:28.719
ways to beat you, tenn assists, two turnovers, and this team has

630
00:46:29.360 --> 00:46:34.360
disorganized as they looked offensively in the
first five games with him. Now it's

631
00:46:34.440 --> 00:46:37.440
just like, oh yeah, they're
getting at least one twenty tonight, Like

632
00:46:37.559 --> 00:46:40.239
it is assumed that they're gonna score
one hundred and twenty points and if the

633
00:46:40.320 --> 00:46:45.079
defense shows up to their capabilities,
I don't know how many teams can hang

634
00:46:45.159 --> 00:46:49.400
with them. And I just mean
hang because you see what happened in Boston

635
00:46:49.440 --> 00:46:52.400
with them blowing them out. Like
this Clippers team is as dominant of a

636
00:46:52.440 --> 00:46:57.880
team as we have seen maybe in
the NBA in some time. Yeah,

637
00:46:58.039 --> 00:47:00.719
you bring up Harden another day.
That's gotten good with him is the catch

638
00:47:00.719 --> 00:47:05.480
and chet threes. Those were kind
of when an adventure and he first got

639
00:47:05.519 --> 00:47:09.000
here, and now he's able to
get a consistently higher number of threes up,

640
00:47:09.039 --> 00:47:12.480
which is great. He took nine
tonight, which is fantastic. But

641
00:47:12.559 --> 00:47:20.119
Kawhi Leonard is also playing his best
basketball of his career. Maybe the team

642
00:47:20.159 --> 00:47:23.639
is a half game out of first
right now, and he just continues to

643
00:47:23.679 --> 00:47:28.360
do it on both edds. For
the Clippers, the MVP odds are going

644
00:47:28.400 --> 00:47:31.159
to get worse and worse. So
I hope everyone is paying attention now because

645
00:47:31.159 --> 00:47:37.000
what he's doing is very special and
will be remembered. It's funny because I

646
00:47:37.039 --> 00:47:39.639
looked earlier today to see if they
had already changed on Bovada. They did

647
00:47:39.719 --> 00:47:46.159
change on Basketball Reference with their NBA
tracker. He now has a one percent

648
00:47:46.280 --> 00:47:51.880
chance of winning the MVP, when
he wasn't top ten before that. But

649
00:47:51.960 --> 00:47:53.800
I know you looked up on NBA
dot Com like a week or so ago

650
00:47:53.880 --> 00:47:59.159
on their NBA ladder, and he
wasn't in the top ten. Earlier today.

651
00:47:59.199 --> 00:48:02.679
He was eighth, but he was
a plus ten thousand on a betting

652
00:48:02.719 --> 00:48:07.519
site earlier today. You're right,
it's going to change. Zach Lowe talked

653
00:48:07.519 --> 00:48:12.119
about it earlier today. I don't
know if he saw my tweet because I'm

654
00:48:12.119 --> 00:48:14.960
tweeting at all these guys now,
the guys that I love the most,

655
00:48:15.000 --> 00:48:17.280
the guys that would appreciate what Kawhi
Leonard is doing the most. I'm adding

656
00:48:17.320 --> 00:48:22.599
them after every game, putting up
the latest Kawhi Leonard stats. They just

657
00:48:22.719 --> 00:48:25.800
keep getting better and better. A
month ago, we were talking about an

658
00:48:25.880 --> 00:48:31.000
all time run. Now he's at
twenty nine games. If you go back

659
00:48:31.079 --> 00:48:37.039
to the last eighty two games,
as our friend Justin Russeau did on Fly

660
00:48:37.159 --> 00:48:42.320
by Night, he's at something like
fifty three forty six ninety splits his last

661
00:48:42.320 --> 00:48:45.960
eighty two games, going back to
January first of last season till now,

662
00:48:46.000 --> 00:48:50.920
he's played about now eighty three games, and his shooting splits are incredible.

663
00:48:50.920 --> 00:48:54.880
We're seeing something that we may never
see again, this level of efficiency from

664
00:48:54.920 --> 00:49:00.559
a player that is doing it with
jump shots. We're not talking about Shaquille

665
00:49:00.559 --> 00:49:04.559
O'Neal taking shots within four feet of
the rim. We're talking about Kawhi Leonard

666
00:49:04.639 --> 00:49:07.519
taking most of his shots in the
mid range and shooting fifty eight percent from

667
00:49:07.519 --> 00:49:13.639
the field over the last twenty nine
games now, and not only doing that,

668
00:49:13.800 --> 00:49:16.119
as you mentioned, being incredibly efficient
on the offensive side wall. He's

669
00:49:16.159 --> 00:49:20.400
getting more double teams, which is
something he's learning to play through more.

670
00:49:20.440 --> 00:49:22.239
There's still some growing paints there,
but the Clippers are going to figure that

671
00:49:22.280 --> 00:49:25.719
out. And the other side of
the balls, he's playing elite defense.

672
00:49:27.079 --> 00:49:30.280
He's playing great defense when it matters. He's I mean, Neil, you

673
00:49:30.360 --> 00:49:34.920
look at the onoflimers from the Clippers
and it's a little drastic something we should

674
00:49:34.960 --> 00:49:37.880
maybe keep in mind as we move
forward, and you know, getting zoos

675
00:49:37.880 --> 00:49:42.440
settled in here. But no,
he's he's phenomenal on both ends. We

676
00:49:42.800 --> 00:49:45.119
have to hope this, you know, continues, because the Clippers are going

677
00:49:45.159 --> 00:49:47.559
to go as far as Kawhi and
PG takes them. Right now, that

678
00:49:47.599 --> 00:49:53.440
feels really, really really far.
Oh hope this continues. And yeah again

679
00:49:53.559 --> 00:49:59.320
excited to see what they look like
on Wednesday against the Puse. He is

680
00:49:59.400 --> 00:50:02.039
Chuck Mak of Clips and Dip.
We got a YouTube coming for you guys

681
00:50:02.119 --> 00:50:06.920
tomorrow with Will Updyke as well.
Charles. Thanks for doing this tonight here

682
00:50:06.920 --> 00:50:09.280
on Clipper Stock once again, Hey, thanks for having me. Let's go

683
00:50:09.320 --> 00:50:14.400
clips coming up next. Back to
your phone calls at eighty six six ninety

684
00:50:14.519 --> 00:50:16.920
seven two five seventy and we'll hear
from coach Luda close things out. Plus

685
00:50:17.000 --> 00:50:22.360
Katie's casual corner right here on Clipper
Stock on a five to seventy LA Sports,

686
00:50:22.880 --> 00:50:25.960
the LA Clippers continue their hunt for
a Lario B. They still want

687
00:50:25.960 --> 00:50:30.679
to get that LARRYO beat. Don't
miss a moment all season long. This

688
00:50:30.840 --> 00:50:36.000
is the LA Clippers Audio Network claw
for MVP. Clippers winning in Atlanta one

689
00:50:36.079 --> 00:50:38.679
forty nine, one forty four.
They go six and one on the Grammy

690
00:50:38.800 --> 00:50:44.400
road trip. Here's what Kawhi Leonard
has done over his last eighty three ball

691
00:50:44.480 --> 00:50:47.519
games. He's at just about twenty
six points per game, fifty three percent

692
00:50:47.559 --> 00:50:52.840
from the field, forty six percent
from three eighty nine percent at the charity

693
00:50:52.880 --> 00:50:58.199
stripe going back to January of last
year. It is he's an alien.

694
00:50:58.440 --> 00:51:00.800
He's out of this world. I've
never seen like it. The efficiency is

695
00:51:00.960 --> 00:51:06.079
just at that position. It's crazy. I don't know if anybody has had

696
00:51:06.079 --> 00:51:08.400
to stretch like this. The only
three guys that I could guess over a

697
00:51:08.440 --> 00:51:13.800
twenty nine game sample size that have
shot fifty eight percent from the field fifty

698
00:51:14.280 --> 00:51:20.239
from three ninety percent from the free
throw line. KD maybe, Steph maybe

699
00:51:20.760 --> 00:51:22.840
Jokic, maybe I don't know the
free throw shooting would be there. It's

700
00:51:23.039 --> 00:51:29.519
yeah, it's wild. Let's hear
from coach Lou postgame after the Clippers win

701
00:51:29.639 --> 00:51:32.800
by five in Atlanta. They return
home Wednesday to take on the Pelicans after

702
00:51:32.840 --> 00:51:36.159
going six and one on their Germy
road trip. Here was your head,

703
00:51:36.239 --> 00:51:38.159
coach, and we gotta be a
lot better, you know, we gotta

704
00:51:38.159 --> 00:51:42.559
be a lot better defensively, especially
closing the games. I mean, I

705
00:51:42.559 --> 00:51:44.639
know, Trey, you know,
the end of the game was gonna you

706
00:51:44.639 --> 00:51:46.280
know, try to take over and
play fast and get to the free throw

707
00:51:46.320 --> 00:51:51.119
line. But we just had a
lot of you know, miscommunications gave us

708
00:51:51.119 --> 00:51:54.159
from threes when when supposed to and
I'm just not playing through the game,

709
00:51:54.280 --> 00:51:57.519
and so we gotta be better,
you know, and closing the games.

710
00:51:58.880 --> 00:52:01.039
With that being said, this is
a hell of a trip for us.

711
00:52:01.159 --> 00:52:06.679
You know, I'm gonna go six
to one against the caliber teams we played

712
00:52:06.760 --> 00:52:09.440
on this trip, you know,
coming into it, like we knew it

713
00:52:09.480 --> 00:52:13.239
was gonna be a tough battle.
But I get these guys credit. You

714
00:52:13.280 --> 00:52:15.559
know, we stuck with it.
You know, we got down in some

715
00:52:15.599 --> 00:52:19.880
games early, continue to keep fighting
and like I said, just a total

716
00:52:19.920 --> 00:52:23.519
team effort. You know, everyone
contributed on the offensive end, but you

717
00:52:23.519 --> 00:52:28.880
know, defensively, we gotta get
back home and really start locking in defensively

718
00:52:28.920 --> 00:52:31.000
and being better because we are better
than that. And I don't know if

719
00:52:31.039 --> 00:52:34.360
it's fatigued and tired, and you
know, guys are playing a lot of

720
00:52:34.400 --> 00:52:37.920
minutes, played a lot of games, seven games in eleven days, so

721
00:52:37.159 --> 00:52:39.519
I'll give them a little bit of
a little bit of the benefit of doubt

722
00:52:39.519 --> 00:52:42.800
with that, but you know,
we got to be better. And just

723
00:52:42.920 --> 00:52:46.239
you know, Sharper, I love
that. I love that. Not satisfied

724
00:52:46.440 --> 00:52:52.480
demanding more of the guys they do. The goal isn't to win a game

725
00:52:52.519 --> 00:52:58.679
in Atlanta in February. The goal
is to be the last team standing.

726
00:53:00.000 --> 00:53:05.480
Clippers have their sights on something much
bigger than just this road trip and just

727
00:53:05.519 --> 00:53:08.239
what's happening right now in the regular
season. They're trying to build championship habits

728
00:53:08.559 --> 00:53:13.239
that will translate into the postseason.
Morris and Long Beasts to close things out

729
00:53:13.280 --> 00:53:15.480
tonight here on Clippers Stock. What's
up, Morse, Yeah, it wasn't.

730
00:53:15.719 --> 00:53:19.920
Wasn't Kawhi Leonards the player of the
week last week, he was the

731
00:53:19.920 --> 00:53:22.519
player of the week. I don't
know how he wasn't Player of the Month,

732
00:53:22.559 --> 00:53:25.719
and I think they gave that to
Defn Booker. But yeah, he's

733
00:53:25.760 --> 00:53:30.920
still being overlooked. It's not good
enough. He was a better the weak

734
00:53:30.000 --> 00:53:32.800
I won you. I forget who
was he had a call of that said

735
00:53:32.840 --> 00:53:36.920
that the Clippers would be in first
place by the time of the All Star

736
00:53:37.000 --> 00:53:40.079
Game. Do you remember who that
was? Oh, that is a good

737
00:53:40.159 --> 00:53:43.920
question. That was me, That
that was me, that was you,

738
00:53:45.239 --> 00:53:46.639
that was me, my brother.
When when my boy went to the bench

739
00:53:46.840 --> 00:53:50.920
and the system gut in there there
was a guy named Gilbert. I amina

740
00:53:50.960 --> 00:53:53.039
she to use his name. He
said that one day the Clipper is gonna

741
00:53:53.079 --> 00:53:55.920
win thirty straight games. Now they're
not gonna win, no thirty straight games,

742
00:53:55.960 --> 00:53:59.199
but they're not going to be far
from it. I'll see you when

743
00:53:59.239 --> 00:54:01.039
the next game, Adam behavior several
gates. All right, Morris, you

744
00:54:01.079 --> 00:54:07.719
know what slip my mind, But
I think you're right you called it.

745
00:54:07.719 --> 00:54:09.960
Now. They are in first place
yet, but they're half game back.

746
00:54:10.119 --> 00:54:14.920
That possibility is there. Before we
get out of here, let's talk with

747
00:54:15.039 --> 00:54:19.920
Katie Newton, our producer here.
It's casual. Katie's NBA corner. What's

748
00:54:19.960 --> 00:54:23.039
up, Katie? Here we are, Well, I have a question that

749
00:54:24.079 --> 00:54:30.960
again I didn't mean too I got
a little scratchy throat. Whatever, I'm

750
00:54:30.960 --> 00:54:36.079
screwed. I think I got it
from you anyway, this guy Okay,

751
00:54:36.119 --> 00:54:37.559
I don't know if you know the
answer to this, but you know fans

752
00:54:37.599 --> 00:54:42.800
who sit like courtside and sometimes the
players will like fall on them and knock

753
00:54:42.840 --> 00:54:45.920
all their snacks over and stuff,
like, man, there's a beverage here.

754
00:54:45.159 --> 00:54:47.679
They do they get that? Like? Does the stadium replace that for

755
00:54:47.679 --> 00:54:51.639
free year? Is it just like
you're rich enough to buy court side seats?

756
00:54:51.679 --> 00:54:53.199
Like, sorry, it's the risk. It could be both. I

757
00:54:53.239 --> 00:55:01.199
think I've seen items, food,
beverages get replaced. But yeah, if

758
00:55:01.239 --> 00:55:07.639
you're sitting down there, and maybe
you saved up for ten years to finally

759
00:55:07.679 --> 00:55:09.840
sit courtside so you can be like
the guy with the Apple Vision on.

760
00:55:13.199 --> 00:55:16.000
But you know, I think you're
taking care of the player might even slip

761
00:55:16.000 --> 00:55:21.320
you at twenty or something. Do
they just carry their wallets in their shorts?

762
00:55:21.480 --> 00:55:22.639
Well, you know, if it's
in the first half, they can

763
00:55:22.679 --> 00:55:27.079
get there at halftime and come back
out there help you out. I don't

764
00:55:27.079 --> 00:55:29.880
know. It's an interesting question,
Katie. Just bring a sippy cup.

765
00:55:30.280 --> 00:55:34.840
You'll never be sitting courtside to worry
about it. Those same Katie Newton,

766

that hard why he was doing his thing.
