00:00:06.599 --> 00:00:09.960
Road, brought to you by Cedars
Sinai, the official health partner of the

00:00:10.119 --> 00:00:14.960
LA Clippers, and by Patschonga,
official travel casino of the LA Clippers,

4
00:00:15.279 --> 00:00:20.160
breaking down today's action with the pre
and postgame voice. If you're LA Clippers,

5
00:00:20.239 --> 00:00:25.480
They're locking in every game, every
night, Adam Osland, all good

6
00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:30.839
things must come to an end,
as the Clippers winning streak eleven straight over

7
00:00:30.879 --> 00:00:36.200
the Lakers does, as they fall
to the Los Angeles Lakers ot one to

8
00:00:36.280 --> 00:00:40.840
one twenty five. Welcome into your
postgame show. I'm Adam Oslin, coming

9
00:00:40.920 --> 00:00:45.719
up second half highlights plus your final
box score, and we'll have Clippers Off

10
00:00:45.759 --> 00:00:49.759
tonight eight six six ninety seven two
five seventy eight six six nine eight seven

11
00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:54.920
two five seventy. But let's get
back out to Carlo jimenezrom Crypto dot Com

12
00:00:55.039 --> 00:00:59.399
Arena. Carlo, I'm proud of
the way this Clippers team fought. They

13
00:00:59.479 --> 00:01:03.239
battled down nine with about two minutes
left in the fourth quarter, got it

14
00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:07.879
into ot, but then it was
Kawhi and just nobody else able to help

15
00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:12.040
out. Once Paul George fouled out. Yeah, Clippers ran out of gas.

16
00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:17.079
They were three for thirteen in overtime. Just could not get it to

17
00:01:17.159 --> 00:01:21.879
go coming off the back to back. But this is a great early season

18
00:01:21.959 --> 00:01:25.560
test. You look at these two
losses for the Clippers, Adam, and

19
00:01:25.599 --> 00:01:30.280
they really couldn't be better learning experiences. The slow start in Utah kills you,

20
00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:34.640
and tonight you're not able to defend
without fouling, but you fought every

21
00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:38.079
single moment on a back to back. If these are your two losses to

22
00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:41.439
your first five games, if you're
a Clipper fan, you couldn't be more

23
00:01:41.519 --> 00:01:45.120
proud of this team early. It
feels like they're doing all the right things.

24
00:01:45.159 --> 00:01:48.719
Oh and by the way, James
Harden's gonna be playing next week.

25
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:53.439
Seems like kind of a big deal. Paul George finished with thirty five,

26
00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:57.040
was heroic with a twenty point fourth
quarter to help get them into ot.

27
00:01:57.159 --> 00:02:02.120
You mentioned Kawhi Leonard, who scored
all eight of their points in overtime.

28
00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:07.199
He finished with thirty eight after an
eighteen point first quarter. Clippers were up

29
00:02:07.240 --> 00:02:12.159
big early on, but you knew
those tired legs would come into effect,

30
00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:14.719
and we talked about it down the
stretch, and you just mentioned it,

31
00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:17.919
Carlo. Late in that fourth quarter, one of my keys defending without fouling,

32
00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:22.800
and the Lakers in the fourth quarter
in overtime, I believe, attempted

33
00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:27.719
seventeen free throws. H It's exactly
what you said. It's exactly what head

34
00:02:27.719 --> 00:02:30.719
coach darn Luce said. Make them
make field goals, not free throws.

35
00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:34.759
And unfortunately for the Clippers, the
Lakers made a lot of free throws late

36
00:02:36.039 --> 00:02:39.199
learning experiences once again, just trying
to figure out how they can be better

37
00:02:39.319 --> 00:02:43.439
down the stretch. But you gotta
love the fight. I mean, look

38
00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:46.120
how many times last year I wasn't
around the team that much at them,

39
00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:51.840
but Paul George and Kawhi Leonard combined
for let me do this math really quick.

40
00:02:51.879 --> 00:02:54.840
Wait wait, seventy three seventy three
points and they both played more than

41
00:02:54.879 --> 00:03:00.319
thirty seven minutes on a back end
of a back to back. That is

42
00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:06.360
extremely encouraging Clipper Nation. I'lbeit in
a loss, but just the fact that

43
00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:08.400
both those guys we didn't even know
if they were going to be available tonight,

44
00:03:08.840 --> 00:03:14.199
they played big, they played big
minutes, and they thrived out there.

45
00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:16.800
Unfortunately, it was just those two
in Russell Westbrook really doing most of

46
00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:22.000
the damage. Norman Pale had an
off night. I thought Bones Highland,

47
00:03:22.039 --> 00:03:24.039
who got the start once again two
of seven had an off night, a

48
00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:28.520
chance to tie it with a three
point or late after some great hustle by

49
00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:30.840
PJ. Tucker, by the way, one of your newest Clippers. Yeah,

50
00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:35.000
Tucker was good today. Didn't score, but at five rebounds you just

51
00:03:35.039 --> 00:03:38.960
didn't have enough help off the bench. Norman Pall had twelve points, Plumbley

52
00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:42.520
only had five, and they really
didn't go deep at all. Kobe Brown

53
00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:45.360
played five minutes in that first half, didn't see the court in the second

54
00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:50.120
half. Not enough support. But
hey, if the problem is you don't

55
00:03:50.120 --> 00:03:53.360
have enough support and James Harden's playing, I think you'll be all right support

56
00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:57.879
wise. He can cure what ails
you just a little bit. And now

57
00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:01.439
the Clippers have four days off yep, until a road trip coming up,

58
00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:05.400
starting on the East Coast Monday in
New York. They'll take on the Knicks

59
00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:10.439
and then the Nets on Wednesday,
So the Clippers a little time to regroup,

60
00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:14.719
get James hardened up to speed on
what they're running with. This team

61
00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:20.199
truly a battle for Los Angeles tonight. Clippers unfortunately fall in OT one to

62
00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:25.759
one twenty five. That game Monday
in New York. Early contest, of

63
00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:28.959
course. Here on the West Coast. Tip off is at four thirty.

64
00:04:28.959 --> 00:04:32.439
We'll have Clippers countdown for you starting
at three thirty. Well, Carlo,

65
00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:36.879
you were baptized into this battle for
Los Angeles. It can only be done

66
00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:41.680
like this. What a thriller tonight
and a great call by you. Thank

67
00:04:41.720 --> 00:04:44.959
you so much, Adam, absolute
thriller, fun one. Thanks for listening

68
00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:49.439
along and sticking around. Encouraging losses
some you know, some people don't believe

69
00:04:49.480 --> 00:04:53.800
in those, but I'm a big
believer in them. Encouraging losses. If

70
00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:57.480
you're Clippers fans, this isn't one
to hang your head. This is not

71
00:04:57.560 --> 00:05:00.439
one to hang your head, no
doubt, especially when you have seven seven

72
00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:04.759
more games to go and three more
against the Los Angeles Lakers. Clippers fall

73
00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:11.240
by five in OT. They lose
this battle for Los Angeles, but the

74
00:05:11.240 --> 00:05:15.800
war's yet to be won. Coming
up, we'll have second half highlights from

75
00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:18.879
Carlo Jimenez. We got Clippers Dot

79
00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:36.439
Audio Network, the LA Clippers continue
their hunt for a Lario B. They

80
00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:41.120
still want to get that Lario beat. Don't miss a moment all season long.

81
00:05:41.399 --> 00:05:46.560
This is the LA Clippers Audio Network. Clippers led big early, they

82
00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:51.480
were down big late, and somehow
got it into overtime against the Lakers,

83
00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:58.040
but Paul George and Norman Powell both
filed out, and the Clippers with losing

84
00:05:58.079 --> 00:06:01.879
OC by five to one. Twenty
five is the final in this one in

85
00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:09.480
favor of the Los Angeles Lakers,
who broke the Clippers eleven game winning streak

86
00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:13.360
against them. I can't even believe
I'm still saying that. It just seems

87
00:06:13.399 --> 00:06:17.360
like a crazy already anomaly. I
know Lakers fans are happy tonight, and

88
00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:20.240
Clipper Nation you may be down about
this one, but as I said,

89
00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:24.879
as I said earlier, all good
things must come to an end, and

90
00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:29.879
it's just game five of this regular
season. We're gonna have a lot more

91
00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:32.639
of these thrillers still to come.
Including three more games against the Los Angeles

92
00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:36.199
Lakers still to come. Here on
postgame, we'll have clipperstock eight six six

93
00:06:36.360 --> 00:06:42.600
ninety seven two five seventy eight sixty
six nine eight seven two five seventy is

94
00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:46.959
the phone number. Let's get to
some second half highlights. Clippers I mentioned

95
00:06:47.160 --> 00:06:53.480
up big early. They led by
nineteen points in that first quarter as Kawhi

96
00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:58.319
Leonard had eighteen points in the first
quarter, most he has ever scored in

97
00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:01.639
his career in an open period,
and this was on the second night of

98
00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:04.720
a back to back. What tired
legs, Well, you could say they

99
00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:10.120
came a little bit later, but
the Clippers absolutely were on fire to start

100
00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:13.639
things off. They led at the
half still sixty one to forty eight.

101
00:07:14.199 --> 00:07:17.480
But that third quarter is really when
this game turned, and it happened when

102
00:07:17.560 --> 00:07:23.319
Lebron James left the five point thirty
five mark of the third. When Lebron's

103
00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:28.560
out, you have to win those
minutes, and the Clippers lost the final

104
00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:33.439
five minutes of the third quarter nineteen
to seven. That's when the Lakers made

105
00:07:33.759 --> 00:07:39.000
their big push. That was really
the ballgame in some ways, as they

106
00:07:39.079 --> 00:07:43.959
led by two all of a sudden
heading into the fourth at eighty seven to

107
00:07:44.160 --> 00:07:48.519
eighty five. The Clippers would get
down double digits. I believe down by

108
00:07:48.680 --> 00:07:53.800
ten midway through the fourth. But
PG thirteen Paul George, who got off

109
00:07:53.839 --> 00:07:57.879
to a slow start as Kawhi was
cooking well, he started to save his

110
00:07:57.959 --> 00:08:03.680
best for last eight to shoot jam
blacks straight away three for PG Bigo Paul

111
00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:07.160
George, Paul Nylon, George in
front of his head coach Sharan lu another

112
00:08:07.240 --> 00:08:13.120
left wing three for George. Flash
Paul George back to bag dialing from long

113
00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:18.000
distance ninety one to ninety Clippers with
their first fourth quarter leads George left wing

114
00:08:18.079 --> 00:08:22.480
rises for three. Cunnecks Paul George
another triple. He's got ten in the

115
00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:26.079
fourth. George in the front court, gotta shoot it straightaway. Three in

116
00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:30.680
the air Nylon, Paul George with
a big time bucket. We got a

117
00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:33.279
one point game. George at the
line, a shrug of the shoulders on

118
00:08:33.639 --> 00:08:39.159
Xale. He stares at the feet, looks at the rim, ties us

119
00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:46.480
up big time free throws from Paul
PG thirteen down three, knocked down all

120
00:08:46.639 --> 00:08:52.960
three free throws. With seventeen seconds
left, D'Angelo Russell would miss a long

121
00:08:52.039 --> 00:08:58.360
three pointer and The Clippers were going
into overtime after trailing by nine with two

122
00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:03.120
minutes left, but Paul George had
twenty of his thirty five points in the

123
00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:09.399
fourth quarter, willing them into ot, but then he would foul out trying

124
00:09:09.399 --> 00:09:13.000
to check Lebron James picked up his
sixth. It was Kawhi Leonard, though,

125
00:09:13.200 --> 00:09:16.240
who took the baton and started to
take back over as he was in

126
00:09:16.279 --> 00:09:20.480
the first straight away. Leonard freako
line jumper, pure go buy the bucket

127
00:09:20.639 --> 00:09:26.879
thirty two for the claw and the
Clippers have a lead one nineteen one seventeen

128
00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:31.200
Westbrook the trigger told that the right
hip finds Leonard in the left corner,

129
00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:33.919
stanks to the paint right handed,
lay up the fowl to finish. Kawhi

130
00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:39.120
a chance for inn one. Westbork
on the near wing finds Leonard straight away

131
00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:43.120
works against Davis step back three pointer. Gosh, we got a one point

132
00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:48.759
game won twenty six one twenty five. Kawhi had all eight points for the

133
00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:52.000
Clippers in overtime, but that's the
problem. They only scored eight. He

134
00:09:52.120 --> 00:09:56.759
was the only guy to score.
They were outscored thirteen to eight. They

135
00:09:56.840 --> 00:10:01.639

00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:54.240
one, and we'll talk about it
all on Clippers Talk. Still plenty of

146
00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:58.799
encouraging positive signs from this team,
Like I don't know, Kawhi Leonard played

147
00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:03.000
forty one minutes on the second night
of a back to back. When's the

148
00:11:03.080 --> 00:11:07.360
last time we've seen that he's healthy, scored all eight of the Clippers points

149
00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:13.919
in OT Not enough, though it
was mostly he Paul George, who combined

150
00:11:13.960 --> 00:11:16.879
for seventy three Paul George with thirty
five, Kawhi with thirty eight, and

151
00:11:16.960 --> 00:11:24.000
PG had twenty of his thirty five
in the fourth quarter. On real Paul

152
00:11:24.039 --> 00:11:28.840
George, he's on his bully stuff. He said he would be thirty five

153
00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:35.120
points on sixteen shots. Are you
kidding me? That is efficiency. Russell

154
00:11:35.159 --> 00:11:39.159
Westbrook chipped in with twenty four on
nine to twenty one, shooting some tough

155
00:11:39.200 --> 00:11:46.039
turnovers in the fourth, finished with
six to just eat assists and outside that.

156
00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:50.480
Norman Powell was the only other player
in double digits, finished with twelve

157
00:11:50.519 --> 00:11:54.840
points but six of fourteen shooting.
Bones Highland struggled two of seven, got

158
00:11:54.840 --> 00:12:00.519
the start. Clippers still under manned. No James Harden yet. PJ.

159
00:12:00.600 --> 00:12:05.440
Tucker, though, played twenty one
minutes and I thought got some crucial offensive

160
00:12:05.480 --> 00:12:11.360
rebounds. Mentioned Bones Highland struggling.
He got an offensive rebound late down three

161
00:12:11.480 --> 00:12:15.440
in overtime, got it out to
Bones Highland just couldn't get a three point

162
00:12:15.519 --> 00:12:20.440
to go to Tiet but PJ.
Tucker all five of his boards offensive rebounds

163
00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:24.559
in twenty one minutes. Lakers had
lebron and he had thirty five points.

164
00:12:26.879 --> 00:12:31.679
Big time shots four of eight from
the outside, shot it very well.

165
00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:35.399
Anthony Davis with twenty seven to ten
and four blocks, was a rim protector.

166
00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:39.120
D'Angelo Russell, a difference maker in
the second half, was big in

167
00:12:39.159 --> 00:12:41.600
the third quarter when the Lakers got
up by two heading into the fourth.

168
00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:50.000
He finished with twenty seven on ten
of nineteteen shooting. Clippers lose by five

169
00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:54.120
and ot final score A Lakers won
thirty, Los Angeles Clippers won twenty five.

170
00:12:54.120 --> 00:12:58.200
Clippers have four days off now they'll
be in New York on Monday.

171
00:12:58.799 --> 00:13:01.919

from coach Lou Will Updike from Clips
and Dip will be here. Plus of

186
00:14:05.759 --> 00:14:15.559
course your phone calls. Clippers came
out on fire. Kawhi Leonard went for

187
00:14:15.559 --> 00:14:18.919
a career high eighteen points in the
opening quarter. Had never done that.

188
00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:24.240
A top seventy five player ever,
future Hall of Famer, a guy who

189
00:14:24.279 --> 00:14:28.519
turned himself into one of the greatest
scores we've seen after starting off as a

190
00:14:28.919 --> 00:14:33.519
defensive minded guy doing all the little
things for the San Antonio Spurs in twenty

191
00:14:33.559 --> 00:14:39.000
twelve, twenty thirteen, twenty fourteen, eighteen points in the first quarter.

192
00:14:39.279 --> 00:14:45.120
Clippers were up as many as nineteen, but there were back to back three

193
00:14:45.200 --> 00:14:50.159
pointers hit at the end of the
first by the Lakers, and I even

194
00:14:50.200 --> 00:14:54.200
felt then it's a bit of a
momentum swing, Christian Wood hit one,

195
00:14:54.759 --> 00:15:01.919
Max Christie got one, and instead
of being up nineteen, they were up

196
00:15:01.960 --> 00:15:07.200
by thirteen heading into the second Now, it's not easy on the second night

197
00:15:07.240 --> 00:15:11.039
of a back to back. And
hey, the Lakers last season towards the

198
00:15:11.120 --> 00:15:15.000
end of the year, in their
fourth matchup, they had played the night

199
00:15:15.039 --> 00:15:18.360
before in Utah and then took on
the Lakers, and it took on the

200
00:15:18.360 --> 00:15:24.200
Clippers next night. They claimed they
had tired legs and that's why they lost

201
00:15:24.240 --> 00:15:31.320
that ballgame. At least guys were
pointing to that. I don't really want

202
00:15:31.320 --> 00:15:37.480
to do that tonight. I do
want to highlight that Kawhi Leonard on the

203
00:15:37.480 --> 00:15:41.440
second night of a back to back
played forty one minutes, Paul George played

204
00:15:41.480 --> 00:15:46.360
thirty seven, Russell Westbrook played forty
four. That is encouraging. There are

205
00:15:46.440 --> 00:15:52.480
positives to take away even in losses. They are negatives to take away sometimes

206
00:15:52.519 --> 00:15:58.720
and wins. To me, it's
not as simple as winners and losers.

207
00:15:58.879 --> 00:16:03.759
One side of the menu, the
oversimplification that our friend Rob Parker likes to

208
00:16:03.799 --> 00:16:08.120
do sports says a short menu winers
and losers. Now you kind of got

209
00:16:08.240 --> 00:16:15.759
to add context in there, because
you can learn from victories just like you

210
00:16:15.799 --> 00:16:19.279
can from defeats, and the Clippers
will learn some things in this one.

211
00:16:19.559 --> 00:16:25.360
But they still don't have James Harden. PJ. Tucker played twenty one minutes

212
00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:30.799
and got five offensive rebounds. But
in going back to that first half and

213
00:16:30.879 --> 00:16:34.480
that first quarter, they could have
had a nineteen point lead heading into the

214
00:16:34.480 --> 00:16:41.559
second. Instead, back to back
three pointers got the Lakers a little bit

215
00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:48.519
of life heading into the next twelve
minutes of play. The Clippers still though,

216
00:16:49.120 --> 00:16:53.399
after Lebron James exited late in the
second quarter for about a minute and

217
00:16:53.440 --> 00:16:57.720
a half, they pushed it back
up to I want to say, sixteen

218
00:16:57.799 --> 00:17:03.680
points. They were a plus six
in that minute and a half that Lebron

219
00:17:03.759 --> 00:17:08.279
went to the bench I think midway
near the end of the second quarter,

220
00:17:08.359 --> 00:17:12.559
let's say. But here's the difference
in the ballgame. To me, they

221
00:17:12.559 --> 00:17:18.519
took advantage of Lebron being out in
the second quarter. They didn't in the

222
00:17:18.519 --> 00:17:23.920
third quarter. With five point thirty
five left, Bron hit the bench and

223
00:17:25.039 --> 00:17:29.880
somehow the Lakers went on a nineteen
to seven run to end the third and

224
00:17:29.960 --> 00:17:36.240
all of a sudden lead by two. That can't happen. That's the backbreaker.

225
00:17:37.599 --> 00:17:42.759
Yeah, the Clippers battled. They
were down nine with two minutes left

226
00:17:44.200 --> 00:17:49.039
in the fourth quarter. They got
it to Ot and they had their opportunities.

227
00:17:49.480 --> 00:17:52.960
But the big swing in the game
to me is what happened in that

228
00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:56.480
third quarter where they were outscored by
fifteen, and a lot of that damage

229
00:17:56.519 --> 00:18:03.359
was done with Lebron on the beach. That's the ballgame in a nutshell,

230
00:18:03.920 --> 00:18:07.759
those are minutes you have to win, and the Clippers just didn't have enough

231
00:18:07.799 --> 00:18:12.759
outside of their big three about to
be a big four. Paul George spectacular

232
00:18:14.319 --> 00:18:18.079
after getting off to a slow start
and just watching his counterpart in Kawhi Leonard

233
00:18:18.279 --> 00:18:22.240
go Nuclear was hotter than the center
of the sun in the first quarter.

234
00:18:22.279 --> 00:18:26.839
With those eighteen points, I think
Paul George had two. He finished with

235
00:18:26.920 --> 00:18:33.440
thirty five after a twenty point fourth
quarter, six of nine from the outside,

236
00:18:33.599 --> 00:18:37.839
eleven of sixteen overall from the field, thirty five points on just sixteen

237
00:18:37.839 --> 00:18:41.839
shots. He was a plus twenty
two in a game they lost by five.

238
00:18:44.480 --> 00:18:49.359
He fouls out though in Ot gambled, probably shouldn't have was Garden Lebron.

239
00:18:49.759 --> 00:18:56.559
They challenged it, officials upheld the
call. It was a foul they

240
00:18:56.599 --> 00:19:00.160
lose him and Norman Powell, who
I want to say played twenty straight minutes

241
00:19:00.240 --> 00:19:07.640
from the six minute mark of the
third quarter into the beginning of overtime before

242
00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:14.279
he also filed out. Norm struggled, though I mentioned, not a lot

243
00:19:14.440 --> 00:19:18.200
of scoring output from the others tonight. As Shaq would say, Norm was

244
00:19:18.240 --> 00:19:26.640
six of fourteen twelve points on fourteen
shots. That's unlike Norm typically much more

245
00:19:26.640 --> 00:19:30.799
efficient. And this is unlike Bones
Highland. I know we haven't got a

246
00:19:30.880 --> 00:19:34.079
huge sample size. He's his young
player, twenty three years of age,

247
00:19:36.079 --> 00:19:41.759
but in thirty four minutes getting the
start, was two for seven, just

248
00:19:41.839 --> 00:19:45.519
four points, and had an opportunity
to knock down a three point or late

249
00:19:45.559 --> 00:19:49.359
after PJ. Tucker grabbed one of
his five offensive rebounds. I love him,

250
00:19:49.960 --> 00:19:55.279
always have. This isn't some Clippers
bias. Oh Adam, you know

251
00:19:55.319 --> 00:20:00.119
where your paycheck comes from. I
have been a huge PJ. Tucker fan

252
00:20:00.480 --> 00:20:07.880
for years. He's an absolute dog
out there in the good way. He's

253
00:20:07.880 --> 00:20:14.839
got some of that Patrick Beverley to
him. He fights for that inch if

254
00:20:14.880 --> 00:20:21.160
you're going back to any given Sunday, just he turns games like this into

255
00:20:21.200 --> 00:20:26.480
a war. And it was certainly
a battle for Los Angeles. It took

256
00:20:26.640 --> 00:20:30.920
everything out of the Lakers to finally
get a victory over the Clippers without James

257
00:20:30.960 --> 00:20:38.240
Harden tip your cap, though,
great performances from Lebron thirty five in forty

258
00:20:38.240 --> 00:20:42.359
two minutes, Anthony Davis twenty seven
and ten and forty seven minutes. But

259
00:20:42.680 --> 00:20:45.240
we talked about in the pregame.
We talked about it. Late in the

260
00:20:45.240 --> 00:20:51.680
fourth quarter, Carlo Jimenez asked what
the keys were down the stretch, Well,

261
00:20:51.680 --> 00:20:55.359
you can't turn the ball over,
which they did. Russell Westbrook ended

262
00:20:55.440 --> 00:21:00.359
up with six of them, some
bad ones, some uncharacteristic turnovers by the

263
00:21:00.359 --> 00:21:07.640
Clippers at inopportune times. And when
there's a razor thin margin, your margin

264
00:21:07.680 --> 00:21:12.240
for air is extremely small. Playing
under man tonight, you just can't have

265
00:21:12.319 --> 00:21:18.319
many mistakes at all. But the
big one was the Clippers not being able

266
00:21:18.359 --> 00:21:22.920
to defend without foiling. They gave
up from the fourth quarter into overtime.

267
00:21:23.000 --> 00:21:30.400
So the last eighteen minutes of the
ballgame, make it seventeen I can math.

268
00:21:32.000 --> 00:21:37.720
They gave up seventeen free throw seventeen
free throws to the Lakers in the

269
00:21:37.799 --> 00:21:44.920
last seventeen minutes of the ballgame.
That's what I think really pulled this out

270
00:21:45.880 --> 00:21:49.799
for the Los Angeles Lakers to win
by five and the Clippers were in foul

271
00:21:49.839 --> 00:21:55.400
trouble. Aviatza zu Bots had five, he battled. I like the way

272
00:21:55.400 --> 00:22:00.839
he played seven to nine and twenty
nine minutes on a back to back in

273
00:22:00.880 --> 00:22:03.279
the game where I think he only
played twenty two minutes last night to the

274
00:22:03.359 --> 00:22:07.960
Orlando Magic, but Russell Westbrook with
five fouls, Paul George fouled out,

275
00:22:08.720 --> 00:22:14.400
Norman Powell fouled out. PJ Tucker
had four thy twenty one minutes. Okay,

276
00:22:15.200 --> 00:22:18.640
that might be a little bit on
brand for him. Don't hate it,

277
00:22:18.680 --> 00:22:22.599
though, Don't hate the hustle from
him. The way he battles out

278
00:22:22.599 --> 00:22:26.319
there, plays defense, goes for
those offensive rebounds, makes winning plays.

279
00:22:26.640 --> 00:22:29.720
I think you're gonna love him Clipper
Nation. Yeah, he's older, he's

280
00:22:29.759 --> 00:22:33.279
thirty nine. He can still defend. He can still help this team.

281
00:22:33.359 --> 00:22:37.839
But if you can't defend without fouling
against this Lakers team that ended up with

282
00:22:37.880 --> 00:22:41.920
thirty six free throw attempts, making
twenty seven of them, it's gonna be

283
00:22:41.920 --> 00:22:47.920
a difficult night. Even when you're
leading by nineteen early and I was live

284
00:22:47.960 --> 00:22:53.200
tweeting the game on my little Clippers
Lakers tweet thread, which eventually I just

285
00:22:53.279 --> 00:22:59.839
went to my main Twitter account tweeted
from there. But I said it early

286
00:22:59.880 --> 00:23:03.039
on. It felt like in that
third quarter the Clippers were starting to run

287
00:23:03.079 --> 00:23:07.079
out of gas, run out of
steam, and they simply just didn't get

288
00:23:07.200 --> 00:23:14.559
enough production from another role player out
there. They were so top heavy with

289
00:23:15.319 --> 00:23:22.599
unreal masterful performances from two pin to
three and Russ with his scoring, but

290
00:23:22.680 --> 00:23:26.799
the turnovershard you, of course,
but nobody else had one of those nights,

291
00:23:26.920 --> 00:23:33.400
a night like we saw from d
Lo di'angelo Russell with those twenty seven

292
00:23:33.440 --> 00:23:37.519
points for the Lakers, and he
did a lot of his damage when they

293
00:23:37.519 --> 00:23:41.000
were getting back into the ballgame in
the third quarter. He was very good.

294
00:23:41.039 --> 00:23:45.960
I'm trying to see exactly what he
had in the third here, as

295
00:23:45.000 --> 00:23:51.839
the Clippers led still by thirteen,
even with some letdowns into the first quarter.

296
00:23:52.519 --> 00:23:56.240
Early in the second quarter, Lakers
had it to single digits. They

297
00:23:56.279 --> 00:24:02.680
still led by thirteen of the half. Lil Russell went from having eight points

298
00:24:03.319 --> 00:24:08.119
at the half to twenty points heading
into the fourth quarter, So twelve points

299
00:24:08.119 --> 00:24:14.160
for him in that third where the
Clippers were outscored thirty nine to twenty four.

300
00:24:15.480 --> 00:24:19.200
They had their chances, they had
their opportunities. The superstars showed up,

301
00:24:21.240 --> 00:24:26.480
but they just didn't get enough help
tonight, and they couldn't defend without

302
00:24:26.559 --> 00:24:30.000
fouling. Telphoneclibernation, I get it
eight six six nine eight seven two five

303
00:24:30.079 --> 00:24:34.079
seventy eight six six ninety eight seven
two five seventy. Let's start things off

304
00:24:34.119 --> 00:24:37.680
with Dennis and Montabello. Dennis,
what's up? You're on Clippers South with

305
00:24:37.680 --> 00:24:45.319
au amast Well, I was gonna. I was calling about the football team

306
00:24:47.680 --> 00:24:53.440
and the base our basketball team.
Can you hear me? You gone about

307
00:24:53.440 --> 00:24:59.240
the Clippers here, Dennis? Well, I thought this was a sports talk

308
00:24:59.319 --> 00:25:03.440
show period. Dennis, you're killing
me. This is Clippers talk. It's

309
00:25:03.599 --> 00:25:08.640
in the title. Yeah, I
see now, I see Now you got

310
00:25:08.640 --> 00:25:12.119
a dog in this fight tonight,
Dennis. Now, you got me interested?

311
00:25:12.279 --> 00:25:18.400
Where's your allegiances? Well? I
was gonna come up with some nicknames

312
00:25:18.480 --> 00:25:23.559
I gave the teams, that's all. It ain't nicknamed night Tonight, We've

313
00:25:23.599 --> 00:25:29.839
talked about the Clippers new Big Four, the West Side Connection, maybe California

314
00:25:29.960 --> 00:25:33.720
Love. But they lost to the
Lakers night by five and ot so It's

315
00:25:33.759 --> 00:25:40.319
hard to have that level of enthusiasm
and playfulness and frivolous talk here on Clippers

316
00:25:40.400 --> 00:25:45.079
Talk after they lose. Dennis obviously, big listener. Well, take a

317
00:25:45.160 --> 00:25:49.960
quick time out here. Good call
by me. Uh, maybe I'll screen

318
00:25:51.000 --> 00:25:52.680
the next one and make sure I
get it right this time. Seann and

319
00:25:52.759 --> 00:25:59.079
Inglewood's up next. That's on me. I'll take the l Clippers lose by

320
00:25:59.160 --> 00:26:06.359
five OT against the Lakers, and
their eleven game winning streak against the Los

321
00:26:06.400 --> 00:26:11.160
Angeles Lakers is broken. Hang the
banner, Lakers? Am I doing it

322
00:26:11.240 --> 00:26:17.839
right? You gotta win against the
Clippers. More clipperstock coming up next.

323
00:26:17.880 --> 00:26:21.279
Ye already have five to seventy ELA
Sports. They want to bring a banner

324
00:26:21.319 --> 00:26:26.200
with them to the Into It Dawn. More LA Clippers basketball on the LA

325
00:26:26.319 --> 00:26:30.759

00:26:30.880 --> 00:26:36.599
three connection and Paul George and Kawhi
Leonard we're down nine with about two minutes

327
00:26:36.640 --> 00:26:41.240
left in the fourth. Got it
to ot, just couldn't quite get it

328
00:26:41.319 --> 00:26:45.079
across the finish line this time against
the Los Angeles Lakers. They lose one

329
00:26:45.160 --> 00:26:48.720
thirty to one twenty five. Welcome
back, into Clippers Talk. I'm an

330
00:26:48.759 --> 00:26:52.079
a Oslin to eight six six nine
eight seven two five seventy eight six six

331
00:26:52.240 --> 00:26:55.519
nine eight seven two five seventy coming
up on the show still to come.

332
00:26:55.519 --> 00:26:57.400
In this very segment, you're gonna
hear from the head coach in Toron lou

333
00:26:57.480 --> 00:27:02.960
But let's get out to Andrew in
Rosemead, who knows what show he's calling?

334
00:27:03.079 --> 00:27:06.000
Andrew, what's up? What's up? What's up? What's up?

335
00:27:07.359 --> 00:27:08.839
So look, I kind of blame
the media for this, and you guys

336
00:27:08.920 --> 00:27:12.920
keep giving these players a pass about
back to back games and weak legs?

337
00:27:14.119 --> 00:27:17.160
Are are? Are these not high
level athletes? They're supposed to be in

338
00:27:17.200 --> 00:27:19.559
the best shape of their lives.
How can they not play forty minutes back

339
00:27:19.599 --> 00:27:22.079
to back nights? I mean,
we all go to the gym, We

340
00:27:22.119 --> 00:27:27.079
see women on the StairMaster for an
hour straight back to back in five days

341
00:27:27.079 --> 00:27:30.519
in a row. You're telling me
these young these young guns can't play back

342
00:27:30.559 --> 00:27:34.759
to back games forty minutes a night
and they're making ten twenty thirty million a

343
00:27:34.759 --> 00:27:37.319
season. Andrew, is that what
you want to call about tonight? You're

344
00:27:37.359 --> 00:27:41.160
mad about load management on a night
where Kawhi Leonard does play forty one minutes

345
00:27:41.200 --> 00:27:45.440
in a back to back. I
just I hate giving them a pass.

346
00:27:45.480 --> 00:27:48.119
They don't deserve it. Who's giving
him a pass? We're talking about the

347
00:27:48.160 --> 00:27:52.279
game. Who's giving him a pass? Where? Okay, Well, earlier

348
00:27:52.319 --> 00:27:57.720
you were talking about their week.
I literally said that the Lakers blamed weak

349
00:27:57.839 --> 00:28:02.319
legs on a law to the Clippers
on the second night of a back to

350
00:28:02.359 --> 00:28:07.079
back last season. We're not going
to do that tonight, right right right?

351
00:28:07.119 --> 00:28:10.240
Okay, Well, listen, this
is a lifelong Clipper fan here,

352
00:28:10.240 --> 00:28:14.200
and you know I'm not too stoked
on the James Harden thing. Or you

353
00:28:14.240 --> 00:28:17.440
know, tell me, why are
you down on the James Harden trade.

354
00:28:18.400 --> 00:28:21.519
The guy's never won a championship in
his life. He's a diva, and

355
00:28:21.599 --> 00:28:25.880
uh you know now we have another
he joins his diva buddy, Russell Westbrook.

356
00:28:26.000 --> 00:28:29.000
So I'm not big on it.
Well we'll see what happens to You

357
00:28:29.359 --> 00:28:33.720
think Russ is a diva? Hold
on, Andrew, You just talk about

358
00:28:33.799 --> 00:28:40.720
guys not playing on back to backs. Russ is always available. When does

359
00:28:40.759 --> 00:28:45.920
this guy not play? You think
he's a diva? You misspoke? Do

360
00:28:45.960 --> 00:28:48.640
you want to walk it back?
I get it, I do want to

361
00:28:48.680 --> 00:28:51.119
walk it back. I'm gonna listen
more James Harden. I think more.

362
00:28:51.240 --> 00:28:53.160
James Harden is the diva. You
know, we saw what he did.

363
00:28:53.240 --> 00:28:56.440
Is Daryl Maury in the seventy six
ers. The guy's a life You don't

364
00:28:56.440 --> 00:29:02.519
think Darryl Morris culpable for any of
that. You think James Harden's just coming

365
00:29:02.519 --> 00:29:03.839
out of the blue, all of
a sudden wan to break up with the

366
00:29:03.880 --> 00:29:07.279
guy that brought him to the Houston
Rockets. Do you think that's out of

367
00:29:07.279 --> 00:29:11.559
nowhere? It takes two to tango. But I do not like James Harden,

368
00:29:11.640 --> 00:29:15.240
the guy who's a life long He's
never won anything. He's a offensive

369
00:29:15.240 --> 00:29:21.559
player, all right. I appreciate
the phone call, Andrew. He's never

370
00:29:21.599 --> 00:29:25.400
won anything. Yeah, you're right. I guess he hasn't won a championship

371
00:29:25.440 --> 00:29:29.400
in the NBA so far. I
guess the Houston Rockets ran into I don't

372
00:29:29.440 --> 00:29:33.400
know, the greatest team likely of
all time, a seventy three win Warriors

373
00:29:33.400 --> 00:29:37.920
team that added Kevin Durant, the
ultimate super team, and James Harden took

374
00:29:37.960 --> 00:29:45.039
him to seven without CP three the
last two games of that series. There's

375
00:29:45.079 --> 00:29:49.200
a lot of other eras of basketball
where that Rockets team wins multiple championships.

376
00:29:49.880 --> 00:29:55.720
They ran into the Golden State Warriors
with Kevin Durant. There's no shame in

377
00:29:55.799 --> 00:30:00.240
losing to that team at seven with
CP three out the last couple of games.

378
00:30:00.119 --> 00:30:03.960
You can say what you want about
James Harden. He's had his shortcomings

379
00:30:03.960 --> 00:30:08.880
in the playoffs at times in closeout
games. Yeah, we know it's documented.

380
00:30:10.880 --> 00:30:18.039
He's also had spectacular not just game
series that series in the second round

381
00:30:18.200 --> 00:30:22.640
with Philly, with Joel Embiid being
out in Game one in Boston last season

382
00:30:22.720 --> 00:30:26.119
and he drops forty on them and
gets the victory. Does it in game

383
00:30:26.200 --> 00:30:30.839
four as well. So you can
say he's up and down at times,

384
00:30:32.279 --> 00:30:37.759
just don't act like it's always down. That's just not true. He's had

385
00:30:37.799 --> 00:30:41.759
spectacular performances. And again I keep
trying to make this point, people haven't

386
00:30:41.759 --> 00:30:45.319
been listening. He's gonna be the
third option on this Clippers team. When's

387
00:30:45.359 --> 00:30:48.759
the last time he was that for
a few games when Kyrie and KD were

388
00:30:48.759 --> 00:30:55.759
actually healthy in Brooklyn and then before
that in his younger days with OKC.

389
00:30:56.319 --> 00:31:00.720
This is somebody who has adjusted his
game. He's gonna be setting the table

390
00:31:00.799 --> 00:31:07.599
for two point three and making the
game easier for them. He's gonna help

391
00:31:07.680 --> 00:31:11.240
unlock the best version of Paul George
and Kawhi Leonard. The best is still

392
00:31:11.319 --> 00:31:19.000
yet to come from this team.
I don't understand why people seem to believe

393
00:31:19.119 --> 00:31:25.839
Andrews one of them that you're not
better with James Harden, especially when you

394
00:31:25.880 --> 00:31:33.039
don't have to give up Terrence Man
their twenty thirty first round pick. This

395
00:31:33.079 --> 00:31:37.680
team's trying to win a championship.
They're trying to extend the window of PG

396
00:31:37.759 --> 00:31:44.480
and Kawhi's prime. Harden helps that
he hasn't won yet, so of a

397
00:31:44.480 --> 00:31:49.960
lot of guys, Dennis and Montabello. Dennis, what's up in your Clippers

398
00:31:49.960 --> 00:31:53.359
stock with that? I'm ausen.
Yeah, I was just saying, listen,

399
00:31:53.559 --> 00:31:59.559
what you was saying about Harding,
I think is a plus for the

400
00:31:59.720 --> 00:32:02.960
say to have him, and I
think they're going to be a better team.

401
00:32:04.000 --> 00:32:08.960
They're going to be more in competition
with a championship, especially their division

402
00:32:09.880 --> 00:32:19.319
against the Lakers is no joke,
family legitimate chance. All right, Dennis,

403
00:32:19.400 --> 00:32:22.200
you know, the only thing in
Lacken is a good center. They

404
00:32:22.240 --> 00:32:28.200
don't need a great center, a
good center. Other than that, they

405
00:32:28.240 --> 00:32:32.319
got affordable team to make it all
the way in my opinion, Okay,

406
00:32:32.319 --> 00:32:37.039
Dennis, appreciate the positivity coming off
that last call. I think they have

407
00:32:37.119 --> 00:32:40.519
a good center and a Visa Zubos, one of the unsung heroes on this

408
00:32:40.599 --> 00:32:47.119
team. Somebody else who is very
reliable, always plays seven and nine for

409
00:32:47.240 --> 00:32:52.920
him. Tonight wasn't his best performance. But I ran through some of the

410
00:32:52.960 --> 00:32:57.839
numbers for Anthony Davis in the pregame
show and how he's been held in check

411
00:32:57.920 --> 00:33:01.200
for the most part, and that
is did to why the Clippers won eleven

412
00:33:01.200 --> 00:33:07.680
straight against the Los Angeles Lakers,
where he was putting under his averages.

413
00:33:07.720 --> 00:33:10.079
Basically in those matchups with the Clippers, it beats the Zoobots. Has a

414
00:33:10.119 --> 00:33:15.720
lot to do with that. Sean
in Inglewood. I know you love big

415
00:33:15.759 --> 00:33:22.039
man, Sean, what's up?
You love that nineties basketball? Yeah,

416
00:33:22.160 --> 00:33:23.880
that was one of the things I
was gonna talk about. But man,

417
00:33:23.920 --> 00:33:28.640
your first two callers said such a
high bar. Man. I'll tell you,

418
00:33:28.720 --> 00:33:31.279
I don't know if I can equal
it. Whose side are you taking?

419
00:33:31.359 --> 00:33:36.119
It was a little bit polarizing there
between the two, right, No,

420
00:33:36.279 --> 00:33:39.599
I'm just saying that I don't know. I think maybe Dennis is first

421
00:33:39.640 --> 00:33:44.640
place and the other guy was second
place. The first Dennis. But anyway,

422
00:33:45.920 --> 00:33:49.240
one of the things I want to
talk about is that they actually,

423
00:33:49.319 --> 00:33:52.400
to me lost the game on the
street throw line as well as the clothes

424
00:33:52.480 --> 00:33:59.440
out of the first quarter didn't help. And then the other way was the

425
00:33:59.480 --> 00:34:02.240
startup. Was that the third quarter
where the Lakers get layoups in a row,

426
00:34:04.119 --> 00:34:07.039
like five or six layups. I
don't know about five or six,

427
00:34:07.119 --> 00:34:13.400
but the third quarter they dominated thirty
nine to twenty four, but they got

428
00:34:13.440 --> 00:34:16.760
a lot of shots in the paint
in the first like six minutes of the

429
00:34:16.840 --> 00:34:23.079
quarter. You're right, and so
alluding to that secondary big maybe not not

430
00:34:23.199 --> 00:34:28.519
a center, but just someone of
a power forward, a little bit more

431
00:34:28.599 --> 00:34:31.960
sizable that can actually intimidate someone from
coming into a hole. Sean, if

432
00:34:31.960 --> 00:34:36.360
you're going to give me a realistic
name, do so. But until then

433
00:34:36.400 --> 00:34:40.360
it's just fantasy basketball talk, like
who's the name, who's that guy that's

434
00:34:40.360 --> 00:34:45.480
gettable? There's no guy out there. Now, I'll agree with you,

435
00:34:45.519 --> 00:34:47.880
Adam, but maybe down the road
something with material wife. Okay, but

436
00:34:49.119 --> 00:34:52.800
I guess you're dreaming. I didn't
want to ask you the Philip Platoons tist

437
00:34:52.880 --> 00:34:58.639
guy. Is he going to be
on the team or not. He was

438
00:34:59.199 --> 00:35:01.679
moved to Sacrament I know earlier today, So no, he's not the serbian

439
00:35:01.719 --> 00:35:06.800
player. Oh, I was trying
to keep up. I didn't see that.

440
00:35:07.039 --> 00:35:09.599
So it's all good. Well,
maybe we'll get somebody. But Adam,

441
00:35:09.719 --> 00:35:15.039
that was the entertaining game at least, and I do see a little

442
00:35:15.119 --> 00:35:17.920
room for improvement. But I'm proud
of what the boys did. I'll give

443
00:35:17.960 --> 00:35:22.920
to day. And so as a
positive, you know, they fought to

444
00:35:22.000 --> 00:35:28.880
the very last last second and I
like that. And eventually Norman Powell is

445
00:35:28.920 --> 00:35:32.119
going to be Norman power again,
so that's going to help too. And

446
00:35:32.280 --> 00:35:38.320
again they played without Terence Man.
Brandon bost is still hurt, so there

447
00:35:38.320 --> 00:35:43.800
are some things that you know will
have coming more more, more firepower.

448
00:35:44.559 --> 00:35:49.239
And you know, I thought that
also that we could have put coffee in

449
00:35:49.280 --> 00:35:52.320
the game for a little bit,
and I thought that might have been a

450
00:35:52.320 --> 00:35:55.119
good game, that he could have
mixed it up there. Good game,

451
00:35:55.920 --> 00:35:59.480
all right, some good points tonight, Sean. I appreciate the phone call.

452
00:35:59.519 --> 00:36:02.920
Talk to you next Monday, my
friend. All right, I'm glad

453
00:36:02.960 --> 00:36:10.920
they're getting the red now he will
quick trigger there Sean brought up the free

454
00:36:10.920 --> 00:36:19.320
throws. Clippers did miss ten seventeen
for twenty seven and it's kind of flown

455
00:36:19.400 --> 00:36:22.599
under the radar. It's only five
games, but they have struggled. I

456
00:36:22.639 --> 00:36:27.400
think they're shooting as a team under
seventy seventy percent at the free throw line,

457
00:36:27.400 --> 00:36:30.920
So something worth monitoring. More phone
calls coming up eight sixty six ninety

458
00:36:31.079 --> 00:36:35.519
seven two five seventy eight six six
ninety eight seven two five seventy. But

459
00:36:35.559 --> 00:36:37.840
well, we have a moment.
Let's pause ten seconds for station identification.

460
00:36:38.199 --> 00:36:43.920
Here on AM five to seventy e
LA Sports. This is LA Clippers Basketball,

461
00:36:44.119 --> 00:36:49.119
AM five seventy KLAC Los Angeles,
ninety eight seven KYSR HD two Los

462
00:36:49.119 --> 00:36:52.599
Angeles and iHeartRadio station. Still to
come back to your calls and you'll hear

463
00:36:52.599 --> 00:36:57.880
from coach Lou Plus will Updike from
Clips and Dip will be here after the

464
00:36:57.960 --> 00:37:04.000
Clippers lose by five in OPRA time. But like Sean said, there are

465
00:37:04.000 --> 00:37:07.880
things to be proud of in this
ballgame, second night of a back to

466
00:37:07.920 --> 00:37:13.800
back, Clippers did more than compete. They came out started the game like

467
00:37:13.840 --> 00:37:17.679
their hair was on fire. Shout
OUTVTB getting up by nineteen in the first

468
00:37:17.760 --> 00:37:22.840
quarter because Kawhi Leonard had eighteen points
and I think started seven for eight,

469
00:37:23.599 --> 00:37:28.239
had all eight of their points in
overtime. Eight It's not enough though,

470
00:37:29.360 --> 00:37:31.480
didn't get any help. Paul George
fouled out and No Pal filed out.

471
00:37:32.960 --> 00:37:37.360
Tough to overcome losing those two guys
the last five minutes of a crucial ballgame.

472
00:37:37.480 --> 00:37:40.519
But it's just game five. It's
just game one against the Lakers.

473
00:37:40.519 --> 00:37:45.800
They got three more to go and
they got four days off. Seawn also

474
00:37:45.840 --> 00:37:51.440
brought up no Terrence Man still,
I don't know a guy who was just

475
00:37:51.559 --> 00:37:55.360
named the starter before they made all
these trades. It was well earned by

476
00:37:55.440 --> 00:38:01.599
Terrence Man, and I know they'll
still use him a ton because they're lacking.

477
00:38:02.159 --> 00:38:08.079
No Roco obviously now no Marcus Morris, no Nicholas buttoom if you ever

478
00:38:08.119 --> 00:38:14.079
wanted Terrence Man to average thirty minutes
a night with the way they consolidated the

479
00:38:14.119 --> 00:38:17.920
power forward position, it's coming this
season. Hopefully you can get back healthy

480
00:38:19.000 --> 00:38:22.800
soon. Coming back on the other
side, you'll hear from coach lou Clippers

481
00:38:22.800 --> 00:38:24.639
lose one thirty to one twenty five
and overtime to the Lakers. Sam Oda

482
00:38:24.719 --> 00:38:29.119
Mouslin and you're listening to Clippers talk
here on the M five seventy LA Sports.

483
00:38:29.719 --> 00:38:32.159
They want to bring a banner with
them to the Into It Dawn More

484
00:38:32.480 --> 00:38:38.800
LA Clippers basketball on the LA Clippers
Audio Network. Lakers won this Battle of

485
00:38:38.800 --> 00:38:45.360
Los Angeles, but the war continues. Clippers dropped a three and two on

486
00:38:45.400 --> 00:38:52.119
the season. Lakers improved to three
and two after they win in OT one

487
00:38:52.239 --> 00:38:57.800
thirty to one twenty five. One
of my tweets picked up some steam.

488
00:38:58.000 --> 00:39:01.239
I got a feeling why put this
out at follow out of may On X

489
00:39:01.920 --> 00:39:06.519
said, bottom line, down the
stretch, the Clippers couldn't defend without fouling.

490
00:39:06.599 --> 00:39:08.840
The Lakers took seventeen free throws in
the last fifteen minutes. I should

491
00:39:08.880 --> 00:39:14.239
say it was seventeen in the last
seventeen minutes, but sixteen of them came

492
00:39:14.280 --> 00:39:20.639
within like fourteen minutes. The point
is they got to the free throw line

493
00:39:21.519 --> 00:39:24.400
early and off, and in the
fourth quarter in overtime they were forcing the

494
00:39:24.440 --> 00:39:29.000
issue. Clippers were on their heels. No, they didn't get a great

495
00:39:29.000 --> 00:39:32.760
whistle. I understand that Clipper nation, you're not gonna love it tonight.

496
00:39:32.840 --> 00:39:37.760
But the Clippers still they attempted twenty
seven free throws to thirty six for the

497
00:39:37.840 --> 00:39:44.280
Lakers, and the Clippers missed ten
free throws in a game that went into

498
00:39:44.360 --> 00:39:47.719
overtime. Those come back to haunt
you. I know Halloween was yesterday,

499
00:39:47.760 --> 00:39:52.440
but still haunt you. Zachary and
Santa Monica. You're on Clippers stuff without

500
00:39:52.440 --> 00:39:57.119
a Maslin. What's up, hi, Adam? Well, I'll start off

501
00:39:57.159 --> 00:40:00.599
by saying, I'm not one that's
afraid to be negative as long as I

502
00:40:00.639 --> 00:40:05.480
feel it's truthful. As far as
James Harden's concerned, you know, I

503
00:40:05.599 --> 00:40:08.079
liked I like James. I've you
know, followed him and rooted for him

504
00:40:08.079 --> 00:40:15.920
wherever he's gone. I guess with
him, I feel carefully optimistic. I'm

505
00:40:15.960 --> 00:40:20.599
hopeful he can help the team.
I think Frank did a great job trading

506
00:40:20.639 --> 00:40:23.519
for him without giving up you know. Well, you know some of the

507
00:40:23.559 --> 00:40:29.119
main pieces that were floated for a
long time, like Terrence Man, they

508
00:40:29.239 --> 00:40:37.199
kept Terrence Man. Everybody. The
word fleeced was trending on Twitter that night

509
00:40:37.800 --> 00:40:40.960
when Adrian Wojowski broke the news,
because everybody thought, oh, they'll have

510
00:40:42.039 --> 00:40:45.719
to give up Terrence Man. Right, didn't happen? Right? Right?

511
00:40:45.800 --> 00:40:49.880
And like bones and norm. I
mean, so I think that was a

512
00:40:49.920 --> 00:40:54.039
great job. I guess what concerns
me about, you know, James being

513
00:40:54.079 --> 00:40:59.320
the honest, you know, an
objective person. He he does clearly he

514
00:40:59.440 --> 00:41:02.440
has like I don't know if attitude
is the issues is the right way to

515
00:41:02.440 --> 00:41:06.880
say it, but like forcing a
trade, you know, from in like

516
00:41:07.000 --> 00:41:09.840
three teams in three years, it's
a bit of a red flag. And

517
00:41:09.880 --> 00:41:15.000
then the way he plays can be
you know, he's very he's not streaky,

518
00:41:15.039 --> 00:41:17.400
but in the playoffs he can have
some really rough games. So I

519
00:41:17.440 --> 00:41:22.400
am cautiously optimistic and hopeful it works
with the Clippers. But you know,

520
00:41:22.800 --> 00:41:27.000
I can understand the concern from some
of the other fans perspectives. I guess

521
00:41:27.039 --> 00:41:30.800
what I'm saying, and I'm not
saying it's crazy. I think you're making

522
00:41:30.880 --> 00:41:34.320
fair points. He's on his fourth
team in the last twenty two months.

523
00:41:34.960 --> 00:41:38.119
I would also say, in some
ways it feels like this is his last

524
00:41:38.119 --> 00:41:43.119
big opportunity to be on a team
this good. And also he's in a

525
00:41:43.159 --> 00:41:49.440
contract year, so I just I
expect him to be obviously ecstatic to be

526
00:41:49.559 --> 00:41:53.199
back home, but playing with Kawhi, playing with Paul George, back with

527
00:41:53.280 --> 00:41:58.519
Russell Westbrook. It just seems like
the fit makes a lot of sense for

528
00:41:58.639 --> 00:42:02.760
him this time around. Yeah,
yeah, I think there's I think you

529
00:42:02.800 --> 00:42:07.280
can make good you know, positive
arguments and negative arguments. So I'm interested

530
00:42:07.320 --> 00:42:10.800
to see what happens. And I
guess, you know, I hate losing

531
00:42:10.800 --> 00:42:15.639
the Lakers, especially as a Clippers
van, But right now I guess I'm

532
00:42:15.679 --> 00:42:19.760
feeling more optimistic than not. So
I hope we can. I hope the

533
00:42:19.800 --> 00:42:22.400
team gives me a lot to be
optimistic about in the coming months. All

534
00:42:22.480 --> 00:42:25.280
right, Zach, talk to you
next Monday. I'll call on again.

535
00:42:25.440 --> 00:42:31.079
I appreciate the objectivity an impartial observer, that is Zachary in Santa Monica.

536
00:42:31.159 --> 00:42:35.599
Some good points tonight, Zach.
All right, all right, thanks Adam,

537
00:42:35.639 --> 00:42:38.559
take care. Thank you. Roman
in Santa Clarita. You're on Clipper

538
00:42:38.559 --> 00:42:43.079
Stop with Adam Alison. What's up, Roman? How you doing, Adam?

539
00:42:43.639 --> 00:42:47.199
Dam You got a phone? Is
this a zoom call? I feel

540
00:42:47.199 --> 00:42:51.519
like I'm back on my morning meetings
or something like that? Is this even

541
00:42:51.559 --> 00:42:53.239
a phone? Are you in the
room with me right now? All right?

542
00:42:53.280 --> 00:42:59.119
What's up? Roman? Hey?
So I'm a lifelong Lakers fan and

543
00:42:59.199 --> 00:43:00.320
I just want to say all right, we're down here in Roman. No

544
00:43:00.360 --> 00:43:07.519
I'm playing go on Clippers. Over
the last few years, I just watched

545
00:43:07.519 --> 00:43:10.119
the development of the players they have, and I watched you know, Kawhi

546
00:43:10.119 --> 00:43:13.599
come in, I watched Paul George
come in. And you know the guy

547
00:43:13.639 --> 00:43:15.440
that called earlier about the load management, you know, I mean, evidently

548
00:43:15.440 --> 00:43:20.159
he has never seen a premier athlete
play as many games or been on the

549
00:43:20.199 --> 00:43:23.000
court, because load management is a
must when you're playing on that hard court.

550
00:43:23.199 --> 00:43:27.159
Those knees take a beating, you
know, bodies upon bodies. So

551
00:43:27.840 --> 00:43:30.320
you know, the comment he made
about people being on a treadmill is a

552
00:43:30.360 --> 00:43:34.320
lot different than what these guys are
doing. What do you mean, weekend

553
00:43:34.360 --> 00:43:38.519
Warriors, It's exactly the same thing. Come on, that's exactly saying like

554
00:43:38.599 --> 00:43:42.480
you can come and make a comment
like that. But these guys are all

555
00:43:42.559 --> 00:43:45.760
premier athletes playing a sport that's hard
on their bodies. That's why a lot

556
00:43:45.800 --> 00:43:50.559
of them don't last in the league
twenty years. But just watching watching the

557
00:43:50.599 --> 00:43:53.320
Clippers tonight and over the last few
years, I just I just think the

558
00:43:53.320 --> 00:43:58.320
Clippers are putting the pieces together where
they need to be. Westbrook wasn't a

559
00:43:58.360 --> 00:44:00.480
fit with the Lakers. I believe
he is a fit with this team.

560
00:44:01.199 --> 00:44:05.360
Kawhi is back from his you know, from his a c L. Paul

561
00:44:05.400 --> 00:44:08.559
George is always Paul George. Zubach
another one that's that's you know, he's

562
00:44:08.559 --> 00:44:13.960
a dominant player when he's healthy.
But the pieces they put the p the

563
00:44:14.000 --> 00:44:16.440
PJ. Tucker, I mean even
plumbly looked good tonight. PJ Tucker.

564
00:44:16.760 --> 00:44:21.440
I think James Harden works for this
team because they can put some of those

565
00:44:21.440 --> 00:44:24.239
guys on the bench, and James
Harden control that team, you know,

566
00:44:24.320 --> 00:44:29.639
when they're when they're resting with guys
like you said, like Terrence Mann and

567
00:44:29.719 --> 00:44:32.639
like and I see a team where
we're you know, one through five,

568
00:44:34.239 --> 00:44:37.239
they're a dominant team. You got
Westbrook, you got Zubak, you got

569
00:44:37.519 --> 00:44:42.679
George Kawhi and possibly James Harden or
Man or PJ. Tucker. You know.

570
00:44:42.760 --> 00:44:45.599
And PJ. Tucker is a guy
you said, I've been watching PJ.

571
00:44:45.760 --> 00:44:49.719
PJ Tucker his whole career. He's
a bass. Yeah, he is

572
00:44:49.760 --> 00:44:52.440
a monster. I don't care if
you're Fantasy team or whatever. He's a

573
00:44:52.440 --> 00:44:55.960
monster stat wise, he's a monster
on the court. He's a monster and

574
00:44:57.119 --> 00:45:00.400
he can defend anybody, and he
can he can score when needed to,

575
00:45:00.519 --> 00:45:04.320
but he doesn't need to on this
team. Uh, guy like Pal.

576
00:45:04.599 --> 00:45:08.039
I mean, they have put together
a team that could win with their bench

577
00:45:08.079 --> 00:45:12.280
on the on the court while the
other guys are resting. That's what I've

578
00:45:12.320 --> 00:45:16.320
seen tonight. You know, Roman, It's not Freaky Friday. It's what

579
00:45:16.480 --> 00:45:21.159
day is it? Is it a
weekday? It's it's Wednesday. But Uh,

580
00:45:21.639 --> 00:45:22.760
for a Laker fan, I really
like you, man, I think

581
00:45:22.760 --> 00:45:29.800
you should call back sometime. I
think you've ingratiated yourself with Clipper Nation here

582
00:45:29.800 --> 00:45:35.440
with that call, and just uh, I love the Clippers because they're a

583
00:45:35.480 --> 00:45:38.599
team that wants wants that you know, they want that chip, they want

584
00:45:38.639 --> 00:45:42.480
that trophy, you know what I
mean. That's what the Lakers are becoming

585
00:45:42.480 --> 00:45:46.320
an older team and pieces don't fit
with players that are set in their ways

586
00:45:46.360 --> 00:45:50.079
as to where Paul, George Kawhi
Leonard they can do their thing, and

587
00:45:50.119 --> 00:45:52.039
you add pieces around them and they're
gonna do their thing, you know.

588
00:45:52.079 --> 00:45:54.760
So I wish them the best when
they build their new place, you know,

589
00:45:54.800 --> 00:45:58.320
I wish I wish them the best. I'll go watch some Clipper games.

590
00:45:58.320 --> 00:46:00.239
I don't mind that. I'll take
my boys to watch him. My

591
00:46:00.360 --> 00:46:06.719
favorite Laker fan ever, Roman and
Santa Clarita Roman Collins some more during the

592
00:46:06.760 --> 00:46:08.960
season. All right, I appreciate
it. First time I ever heard your

593
00:46:08.960 --> 00:46:15.639
program. I'm on first time head
in the sam Come on, Clippers lose

594
00:46:15.679 --> 00:46:21.159
tonight to Romans Lakers unfortunately one thirty
to one twenty five in overtime. A

595
00:46:21.199 --> 00:46:24.719
point he made there about James Harden
is something I want to emphasize. He

596
00:46:24.800 --> 00:46:30.280
works on multiple levels because he can
blend in with your stars by being the

597
00:46:30.320 --> 00:46:36.000
playmaker James Harden, and then when
you surrounds him and he's running I don't

598
00:46:36.000 --> 00:46:37.760
know, a second unit, or
there's a night where Kawhir or Paul George

599
00:46:37.840 --> 00:46:42.079
or both are out, he can
go back to being that number one option.

600
00:46:42.880 --> 00:46:46.159
He's insurance when guys are missing.
I know he's had his own injury

601
00:46:46.199 --> 00:46:51.159
issues the last couple of seasons.
Played fifty eight games last season, I

602
00:46:51.199 --> 00:46:54.559
think sixty five the year before that, but looks to be in great shape.

603
00:46:54.559 --> 00:46:58.760
If you saw any of that video
of him practicing with the Philadelphia seventy

604
00:46:58.800 --> 00:47:06.000
six ers in Colorado, and I
know he is ecstatic to be a member

605
00:47:06.199 --> 00:47:09.199
of the Los Angeles Clippers, and
that also flies under the radar a little

606
00:47:09.199 --> 00:47:14.119
bit. I told you before when
they made the move to get Kawhid,

607
00:47:14.159 --> 00:47:20.159
to get PG it was the first
time they became a destination franchise. They

608
00:47:20.199 --> 00:47:23.280
transformed into that. Now, guys
want to come here. You just never

609
00:47:23.400 --> 00:47:29.679
saw this even just five, I
guess six years ago, a decade ago.

610
00:47:30.559 --> 00:47:34.639
Now guys want to come play for
Steve Balmer and for the Clippers.

611
00:47:35.239 --> 00:47:37.519
All right, we'll take you a
quick time out. Well, come back.

612
00:47:37.559 --> 00:47:40.920
We'll close things out with will Updyke
plus more of your phone calls.

613
00:47:40.920 --> 00:47:45.639
Eight sixty six nine eight seven two
five seventy eight sixty six nine eight seven

614
00:47:45.719 --> 00:47:52.000
two five seventy Clippers falling over time
to the Lakers at the Crypt one twenty

615
00:47:52.000 --> 00:47:55.519
five. That's why we're playing the
sad post malone hip hop. I like

616
00:47:55.599 --> 00:48:00.960
it whit Everson song singing this crying
in the shower leader. No, I

617
00:48:00.960 --> 00:48:06.559
won't be more Clippers stock next here. On five seventy l A Sports,

618
00:48:07.039 --> 00:48:10.159
the LA Clippers continue their hunt for
a LARRYO. B. They still want

619
00:48:10.159 --> 00:48:14.400
to get that LARRYO. B.
Don't miss a moment all season long.

620
00:48:14.679 --> 00:48:22.559
This is the LA Clippers Audio Network. Last time Clippers lose, you ot

621
00:48:22.880 --> 00:48:28.400
to the Lakers. That's word to
say we lost the Lakers. Hasn't happened

622
00:48:28.440 --> 00:48:34.039
in three years. Where it happened
tonight? To one twenty five was your

623
00:48:34.079 --> 00:48:39.960
final welcome back into Clippers talk.
I mean a Moslin Paul George was a

624
00:48:40.000 --> 00:48:44.400
plus twenty two in a game they
lost by five. You know what that

625
00:48:44.440 --> 00:48:47.039
means? They were outscored by twenty
seven points when he was off the floor.

626
00:48:49.599 --> 00:48:52.320
Quite a swing. That's tough to
overcome. But again, I go

627
00:48:52.440 --> 00:48:58.199
back to those Lebron James lest minutes
to end the third quarter that the Clippers

628
00:48:58.199 --> 00:49:02.800
somehow lost. Joined the show though, now is our friend will Updyke from

629
00:49:02.840 --> 00:49:07.119
cliffs and dip little Cliffson double dip
tonight. Well, how are you feeling,

630
00:49:07.159 --> 00:49:10.440
man? You're not down the dumps? Are you not? At all?

631
00:49:10.599 --> 00:49:15.239
Man? That was that was the
most exciting game of this young Clippers

632
00:49:15.280 --> 00:49:20.480
season so far. We saw a
repeat of some things that we've seen before,

633
00:49:20.480 --> 00:49:24.239
mostly endgame execution. There was certainly
some you know, unforced errors and

634
00:49:24.360 --> 00:49:29.239
fouls that were not necessary. But
man, that was a fun game to

635
00:49:29.360 --> 00:49:35.280
watch. I think, you know, I think that performance. Knowing that

636
00:49:35.320 --> 00:49:39.039
the Clippers are going to be adding
even more talent, it should give Clippers

637
00:49:39.079 --> 00:49:43.280
fans a lot to look forward to. Okay, okay, I like it.

638
00:49:43.119 --> 00:49:45.639
It felt like to me they just
needed one more guy to be on

639
00:49:45.760 --> 00:49:51.519
his game tonight scoring wise, because
outside of Paul George, Kawhi Leonard,

640
00:49:51.519 --> 00:49:55.440
and Russell Westbrook, one other player
who was in double figures was Norman Powell

641
00:49:55.519 --> 00:50:00.239
with twelve, but it took him
fourteen shots to get there. Bones Highland

642
00:50:00.519 --> 00:50:07.480
off tonight two of seven. I
beats a Zubas three of eight. They

643
00:50:07.679 --> 00:50:14.199
just didn't get enough contributions. But
I agree with you overall, it's still

644
00:50:14.320 --> 00:50:17.760
encouraging style of playwise, it was
a very entertaining ball game out there.

645
00:50:19.519 --> 00:50:22.760
It was just I was looking for
one more role player to step up lay

646
00:50:22.760 --> 00:50:25.440
for him. Yeah, I mean
I think you know, you look at

647
00:50:25.480 --> 00:50:28.760
the efficient. I mean, you
mentioned Bones have an off night, but

648
00:50:28.800 --> 00:50:32.079
the efficiency of Russ and Norm both
was not great. There were forty three

649
00:50:32.079 --> 00:50:37.800
percent overall from the floor. Norm
didn't make a three. But even if

650
00:50:37.840 --> 00:50:40.320
Paul George fouls out right, which
once again you hope that you're not even

651
00:50:40.360 --> 00:50:45.960
in that situation that early and overtime. But you swap out one of those

652
00:50:45.960 --> 00:50:51.679
guys for a more efficient scorer,
and I, you know, I feel

653
00:50:51.719 --> 00:50:54.000
like that's probably getting you over the
hump. Paul George was twenty of his

654
00:50:54.119 --> 00:51:00.480
thirty five in the fourth quarter to
get them to overtime. The Clips were

655
00:51:00.519 --> 00:51:06.199
down by nine with just over two
minutes left. This would have been one

656
00:51:06.280 --> 00:51:10.119
of their more improbable comeback Clippers victories
if they have, if they were able

657
00:51:10.159 --> 00:51:14.599
to pull it off, and Paul
George was leading them there. And he

658
00:51:14.639 --> 00:51:19.599
has been spectacular through five games so
far. He's backed up the talk will

659
00:51:21.039 --> 00:51:24.280
He absolutely has. And I got
a shout out our play by play guy

660
00:51:24.360 --> 00:51:30.639
Carlo with an iconic Nylon call with
Paul after Paul George hit a three to

661
00:51:30.800 --> 00:51:35.920
take the to take the Lakers lead
down to one there in the fourth quarter.

662
00:51:36.480 --> 00:51:40.039
Absolutely loved it. But Paul George, you know, he has been

663
00:51:40.039 --> 00:51:44.000
doing what he talks about all off
season. He's been talking about his approach.

664
00:51:44.000 --> 00:51:45.920
He's been talking about taking stuff more
seriously. He's been talking about putting

665
00:51:45.960 --> 00:51:50.119
away these games. Well, he
weren't able to put away this one.

666
00:51:50.360 --> 00:51:53.039
They like, you know, he
still did all of that. And how

667
00:51:53.079 --> 00:51:59.199
about Kawhi Leonards second night of a
back to back, he comes out career

668
00:51:59.400 --> 00:52:04.960
high and single quarter scoring that first
quarter, and he just continued to do

669
00:52:05.039 --> 00:52:07.000
it. What a way to respond, I think for both of these guys,

670
00:52:07.199 --> 00:52:10.480
the minutes that they put in and
the performance that they got on the

671
00:52:10.480 --> 00:52:15.880
second nut of back to back after
we had to hear all summer about oh,

672
00:52:15.079 --> 00:52:20.599
these guys are the faces of the
new league gressing policy. Oh these

673
00:52:20.639 --> 00:52:23.519
guys. These guys don't try hard. They won't do this, they won't

674
00:52:23.519 --> 00:52:28.079
do that. I think so far, once again, in a very young

675
00:52:28.239 --> 00:52:31.159
season, they have answered the call. Yeah, looks like a different mindset

676
00:52:31.159 --> 00:52:37.239
out there, just a Clippers team
that is taking the regular season more seriously.

677
00:52:37.800 --> 00:52:42.760
Even on the second night of a
back to back like this, I

678
00:52:42.800 --> 00:52:45.639
thought, you know, they missed
ten free throws in this one. They

679
00:52:45.719 --> 00:52:49.079
left some points out there. But
I want to know what you thought of

680
00:52:49.119 --> 00:52:51.639
one of our newest Clippers that we've
seen out there on the court now,

681
00:52:51.679 --> 00:52:55.760
in PJ Tucker first impressions of him
and a Clippers uniform, Well, oh

682
00:52:55.840 --> 00:53:04.360
man, offensively worse than Mark Come
on, will he took one shot at

683
00:53:04.400 --> 00:53:08.119
the end of sith Demire defensively.
Loved what I was seeing out there.

684
00:53:08.159 --> 00:53:12.199
He seemed to be one of the
only Clippers who could defend without fowling Lay,

685
00:53:12.239 --> 00:53:15.480
although he did have a bad foul
in that first in the first half.

686
00:53:16.280 --> 00:53:22.880
But you know, it's interesting.
I'm really curious to see where he

687
00:53:22.079 --> 00:53:25.880
fits in right because we've heard,
you know, Terrence Man could be in

688
00:53:25.880 --> 00:53:30.400
the starting lineup. They could go
with two guards, although Tylerue didn't say

689
00:53:30.400 --> 00:53:32.719
post game that he would prefer to
play things a little bit bigger, which

690
00:53:32.760 --> 00:53:36.639
could be an indication of how he's
gleaning. But Tucker, to me,

691
00:53:37.199 --> 00:53:42.599
I think that it makes sense to
have guys who are as offensively capable as

692
00:53:42.639 --> 00:53:47.360
possible around him and let him take
on those heavy defensive assignments. So whether

693
00:53:47.400 --> 00:53:51.400
that means he's in the starting lineup
or not, I'd like to see him.

694
00:53:51.440 --> 00:53:54.920
If the Clippers are getting cut like
torched early by someone, maybe tosson

695
00:53:55.000 --> 00:53:59.519
Tucker in there with the other starters
to try to slow things down or try

696
00:53:59.559 --> 00:54:02.639
to cool some buddy off a little
bit. Tyler said postgame he hasn't had

697
00:54:02.719 --> 00:54:07.880
that conversation yet with James Harden and
Russell Westbrook about how the Clippers will divvy

698
00:54:07.000 --> 00:54:13.599
up ball handling responsibilities. But that'll
happen as they have four days off now

699
00:54:13.679 --> 00:54:19.440
to figure some of these though.
Have they not been talking about this since

700
00:54:20.320 --> 00:54:24.119
you know what what July? I'm
sure they've had some ideas and guys know

701
00:54:24.239 --> 00:54:29.840
how it could end up. Maybe
just nothing official since he officially became a

702
00:54:29.880 --> 00:54:32.599
Clipper, you know, yeah,
yeah, that's all it is. But

703
00:54:32.719 --> 00:54:37.559
I look on a night like tonight, you can really see down the stretch

704
00:54:37.639 --> 00:54:43.320
because Russ unfortunately had three of his
turnovers three of his six in the fourth

705
00:54:43.360 --> 00:54:49.360
quarter. And to have someone like
James Harden who's just a little bit more

706
00:54:49.440 --> 00:54:53.639
stable with the basketball. They're both
both very good playmakers, but you'd feel

707
00:54:53.639 --> 00:54:59.440
pretty good with Kawhi Paul George on
the wings and James Harden bringing the ball

708
00:54:59.559 --> 00:55:04.320
up late in games. You feel
a little bit more secure just because of

709
00:55:04.360 --> 00:55:08.320
his steady play in late game situations
come down to a lot of isoball That's

710
00:55:08.320 --> 00:55:15.639
something also James James Harden really thrives
in. Yeah, it gives them additional

711
00:55:15.679 --> 00:55:20.440
weapons and just you know, you
you look at the shot distribution tonight and

712
00:55:20.480 --> 00:55:23.920
I think, you know, the
obvious criticism or the obvious skepticism of the

713
00:55:24.079 --> 00:55:28.239
arrangement is, you know, Paul
George, you know, pretty ball heavy

714
00:55:28.280 --> 00:55:31.760
guy, Kawhi ball heavy guy,
adding in another ball heavy guy, you

715
00:55:31.800 --> 00:55:35.719
know, will that work? I
think that there is a lot to figure

716
00:55:35.760 --> 00:55:39.320
out, but I do think his
playmaking elevates that and just James has increased

717
00:55:39.440 --> 00:55:43.840
efficiency as a scorer. I think, you know, things will have to

718
00:55:43.920 --> 00:55:47.000
change some other people, I think
more obviously more so than Kawhi and Paul,

719
00:55:47.119 --> 00:55:51.840
will will have to change their approach
and their touches will decrease. But

720
00:55:52.119 --> 00:55:58.079
I think there's a pretty clear lane
for this team to improve while still building

721
00:55:58.119 --> 00:56:02.280
along this foundation of once again this
in this very young season, what already

722
00:56:02.320 --> 00:56:07.960
is looking so good, which has
been the the improved approach and incredible play

723
00:56:08.239 --> 00:56:10.360
of the two to one to three
connection. Hey, if you want to

724
00:56:10.360 --> 00:56:15.199
win a championship, guys are gonna
have to sacrifice. That is part of

725
00:56:15.400 --> 00:56:19.280
the deal. And I'm sure James
Harden's coming into this situation with his eyes

726
00:56:19.320 --> 00:56:24.119
open and knows that Clippers lose tonight
one twenty five to the Los Angeles Lakers.

727
00:56:24.239 --> 00:56:27.880
Still weird, just weird to say
that. I just it's been so

728
00:56:28.000 --> 00:56:34.280
long. The first next game coming
up next Monday. Well, I appreciate

729
00:56:34.320 --> 00:56:37.960
you coming on Clips, Clippers Talk
with the little Clips and Double Dip tonight

730
00:56:38.159 --> 00:56:43.639
is my voice is just falling apart
at the seams overtime for me has done

731
00:56:43.679 --> 00:56:45.519
some damage tonight, but will thanks
for picking me up, my friend.

732
00:56:46.639 --> 00:56:51.519
Absolutely and uh for the listeners.
Catch us on Clips and Dip. We'll

733
00:56:51.519 --> 00:56:53.360
have a new one for you tomorrow. We got the YouTube you want to

734
00:56:53.360 --> 00:56:58.000
see our ugly mugs, we got
it for you. I think it's at

735
00:56:58.000 --> 00:57:00.920
Clippers podcast on YouTube. How we
were able to get that before we get

736
00:57:00.920 --> 00:57:06.440
out of here? Glenn in Hemmett, Glenn, what's up your impressions of

737
00:57:06.480 --> 00:57:08.679
tonight's ball game, the James Harden
trade, whatever you'd like to touch upon

738
00:57:08.760 --> 00:57:13.880
Glenn, Yeah, what I talk
about James Harden? I thought it was

739
00:57:13.920 --> 00:57:19.039
a good guy. He had to
bring him to LA now. He played

740
00:57:19.199 --> 00:57:27.599
with Westbrook from correct at ok se
am I correct with that and in Houston

741
00:57:27.880 --> 00:57:34.000
multiple stints with Russ Oh okay,
okay, I forgot a lot of Houston.

742
00:57:34.920 --> 00:57:38.639
Uh yeah, I thought, I
mean, what other owner do you

743
00:57:38.679 --> 00:57:44.280
want to play for? I mean
Steve Bamer brings excitement to the arena and

744
00:57:45.119 --> 00:57:52.960
he's always excited watching the game and
getting involved. And it's James Harden is

745
00:57:52.960 --> 00:57:54.960
going to be good to the Clippers. I think it's it's a positive,

746
00:57:57.199 --> 00:58:00.760
positive move in their direction. I
think this is like a game winning phone

747
00:58:00.800 --> 00:58:06.159
call to end the night. Glenn, appreciate it. Call in next week,

748
00:58:06.280 --> 00:58:08.199
Next Monday, Clippers are in New
York taking on the Knicks. All

749
00:58:08.239 --> 00:58:15.920
right, great call tonight, Okay, Glenn Hammett, all right, glad

750
00:58:15.920 --> 00:58:17.400
I went to him. There.
Clippers fault tonight, one thirty one,

751
00:58:17.480 --> 00:58:23.440
twenty five in ot to the Los
Angeles Lakers. Momma said there'd be days

752
00:58:23.480 --> 00:58:27.280
like this. The Lakers have dealt
with a lot more of them recently.

753
00:58:27.320 --> 00:58:31.920
In this matchup, Clippers' eleven game
winning streak is broken still three and two.

754
00:58:32.280 --> 00:58:36.159
Got four days off. Time to
get James hard enough to speed.

755
00:58:36.920 --> 00:58:38.880
It's gonna be fun next week.
We expect him to be playing in New

756
00:58:38.960 --> 00:58:42.920
York against the Knicks next Monday.
Tip off for that one's at four to

757
00:58:43.039 --> 00:58:45.760
thirty. Weive Clippers countdown starting at
three thirty before we get out of here.

758
00:58:46.280 --> 00:58:52.239
I do want to thank the Clippers
organization. Noah Eagle, Brian Semen,

759
00:58:52.000 --> 00:58:57.519
Ralph Lawler and your radio voice to
the Clippers. Now, Carlojmenez,

760
00:58:57.559 --> 00:59:01.880
big brother, Jake Warner, our
engineer out at the crypt, the callers,

761
00:59:01.920 --> 00:59:06.320
the listeners, and Katie. Before
we get out of here, let's

762
00:59:06.320 --> 00:59:09.039
get to casual Katie's corner for a
second. You got a question for me

763
00:59:09.159 --> 00:59:13.440
NBA related. You don't got to
turn down photo ops that much. All

764
00:59:13.519 --> 00:59:15.159
right, it's my guy, Terry
Price. How dare you? It's your

765
00:59:15.159 --> 00:59:17.239
best buddy? What's up, Katie? All right? Well, I was

766
00:59:17.280 --> 00:59:21.000
gonna ask a question about James Harden, but I'm over it. I heard

767
00:59:21.000 --> 00:59:22.320
too much talk about it. Mean
you're over it. He hasn't even played

768
00:59:22.320 --> 00:59:24.639
a game yet. Sorry, I
just I don't. I don't. It

769
00:59:24.719 --> 00:59:28.679
doesn't feel like the question, you
know, so, uh, what's a

770
00:59:28.719 --> 00:59:31.559
pick and roll? Should end it
with that caller? Fine, I'll ask

771
00:59:31.599 --> 00:59:35.800
my James Harden question. Is there
anyone who needs to be shaken in their

772
00:59:35.800 --> 00:59:42.159
boots worried about playing playing? Yeah? Like, is he gonna take someone's

773
00:59:42.159 --> 00:59:45.280
spot? No? No, no, oh, maybe a little bit.

774
00:59:45.960 --> 00:59:51.039
Sacrifices have to be made. Okay, they're trying to win a championship,

775
00:59:52.239 --> 00:59:55.679
Russell Westbrook, Obviously the ball will
be in his hands less with James Harden

776
00:59:55.719 --> 01:00:00.480
there, It's important to point that
out. He's go you have to play

777
01:00:00.519 --> 01:00:05.000
off the ball more. But James
Harden off the ball if it's in Westbrook's

778
01:00:05.039 --> 01:00:08.159
hands. Well, he shot forty
on catching two three pointers last seasons.

779
01:00:08.159 --> 01:00:13.320
Gonna be interesting to see if the
starting lineup will be him and Russ and

780
01:00:13.360 --> 01:00:16.400
then Kawhi and Paul George move up
positions at the three and at the four,

781
01:00:16.639 --> 01:00:21.280
Big Zoo at the five. But
these are the decisions that coach Lou

782
01:00:21.360 --> 01:00:25.400
has to make, so apropro question
to end the night, This is what

783
01:00:25.480 --> 01:00:30.599
Clibernation is gonna be talking about the
next four days. Who goes where?

784
01:00:30.320 --> 01:00:34.320
How do they figure it all out? There's only one basketball, They'll figure

785
01:00:34.320 --> 01:00:37.039
it out. They got the chiropractor, Coach Lou. All right, Katie,

786
01:00:37.119 --> 01:00:40.320
thank you, great job tonight.
Katie playing hurt. She's basically on

787
01:00:40.360 --> 01:00:45.280
a back to back Cavid forty one
minutes like Kawhi, I'm Adam Aslin.

788
01:00:46.320 --> 01:00:49.639
He got a few days off.
Cliber Nation. We'll tatch you on Monday

789
01:00:49.639 --> 01:00:54.639
when they're in New York taking on
the Knicks. Kawai was doing his thing.

790
01:00:54.920 --> 01:00:59.000
All they want to do is win
in La win. I thought they

791
01:00:59.039 --> 01:01:01.559
gave everything they had. I'm very
proud of them. This has been Clippers

792

the LA Clippers. God bless Paul George.
